Just gone outside to start mine and it sounds like it's running on 6 cylinders, awaiting Audi Breakdown now, anyone else experienced this.

Im hoping it's just the damp as this have never happened before.

I am sure there was thread recently that mentioned this or was it the RS4 long termer in EVO. Can't remember for sure but it does ring a bell....

Audi turned up an hour after the call-out, I sat in it fired her up and bingo started fine, I looked like a t**t!

Took my soon to be out for a run yesterday on trade plates and the check engine/emission light came on whilst driving it. Plugged it in on the return to the dealers and intermittent missfile was logged with over emissions as a result.
Seems that early RS4's were supplied with a spare set of plugs as they are known to soot up ?..
They are changing them for me obviously but maybe this was also your problem?.
