Bought this Audi A4 New Last February (2007) and in the cold and snowy weather the car starts and runs from 500 (almost quitting) to 2500 (screaming) the engine management just goes crazy. It has been to the dealer numerous times and they cannot find anything wrong except for the check engine light signaling a miss fire. Audi of America will not do anything about it and the dealer will not do anything either. The car was traded off, and I took the kick in the resale of it. Buyer beware of a company that will not stand behind their cars! I am very dissatisfied after owning previous cars from this manufacturer.
Car goes like crazy, but only gets 25mpg. It also surges till the temp gage gets to the center. It gallops in 10mph jumps. Interior is nice - fit and finish.
All cars nowadays rev high in cold temperature, it's designed that way. It's to warm up faster and reduce emission. Can't comment on the CEL, you didn't describe enough.
