Default Just bought my A4 and already having problems.

So I bought my A4 a month ago and it ran great for the first 3 weeks then about a week ago I was driving and it just shut down. I pulled over and waited a few minutes and it started back up. I drove it straight home and haven't drove it since. I'm pretty sure it's a fuel problem. I started it yesterday, started up just fine. I started it today and it started but hesitated. I let it run for a few minutes and it was jumpy and the check engine light came on and I started smelling fuel. I don't know a ton about cars, especially Audis but I think it's definitley a fuel problem. What do you guys think?

You should go to Autozone or someplace where they can pull the codes from your car's computer.

If you don't know anyone in your area who can personally take a quick look at it, take it right to the dealership and have them look at it. Sounds serious... Stop driving it...

Well I would try to pay some one to come to your house and pull the codes. For the cost of tow I'm sure you could find someone to do it. Then you would know what was going on with your car and be able to better negotiate with the shop that you hoose to work on your car.

Check out the vagcom locator at the helpful links section to see if someone nearby can scan your codes.
