Joined the M25 into a tunnel yesterday and dropped the pedal for some aural pleasure.
Let off the gas and the usual pops and bangs were then followed by maybe 5 seconds of flashing engine light which then went out. Car seems fine but has put the fear into me!
A quick google seems to say this happens when there is a misfire. First service due in a month so will mention it then but anyone else had this?

Misfire?
Re: Misfire?
Could be, not sure if the light would stay on after a misfire though, maybe a coil on the way out? if the cars fine i wouldn't worry but get it plugged in see if it's recorded a fault code on one of the cylinders just to out your mind a rest. I had a Q7 a few years back and remember the same random stutter, EML flash then never saw its again .

Re: Misfire?
There’s a specific fault on these engines that causes cylinder 5 to misfire? Been known on both standard and mapped cars.
My old 2014 C7 sometimes did it
You will find the stop start system will also develop a fault when it happens....but generally oks itself after engine turned on and off again

Re: Misfire?
RS6Chrus... That is exactly what happened.
Stop start error that cleared on restart.
I'll stop panicking!

I’ve heard there could be a software update from Audi to cure? But not 100% sure?
