S8 idling 'lumpy'
Hi all, this is a bit of a long shot but thought I would ask.
My first real problem has arisen.
Have now done almost 4k miles in the s8, almost all motorway, lovely and smooth but about 400 miles ago I could feel that it was slightly
'Hunting' when cruising at a steady modest speed of say 60/70.. it was barely noticable though.
This morning as I was 10 mile from the end of my weekly 70 mile commute I heard a sound which could best be described as "ppffst" and it the started running really lumpy.
I managed to make the final 10 miles in stop start traffic and it didn't cut out.
Have gone back to it tonight and it started first time, no worries and revs fine, no funny sounds.
Question is this, as I say I know its a long shot but, what are thoughts on a slow 70 drive to get to the garage as I don't know any where I am presently parked up..
Any advice appreciated.
