This is my first post, so hi to one and all. I have a 2005 Audi A8 4.0 Diesel.

I have owned the car for about a year and she has been running perfectly. Until this morning. She started on the button as usual, but when pulling away from the house I noticed it wouldnt accelerate above 40mph or 200rpm.

Looking down at the dash I noticed the orange engine warning light was permenantly lit and the heater coil light was flashing.

Search the interweb I came accross this post and it sounded very familar.

I'm hoping it is a similar solution by changing out the fuel filter. It hasnt been changed since my ownership so its something that needs to be done regardless.

Im completly new to audi ownership and fault codes etc. How would I extract error codes from the ECU to confirm my problem?

Im going to change the fuel filter as per this thread. Is an Audi genuine filter a must or are the after market ones as good?

I had a peek under the bonnet today. I assume the diesel filter is the one on the drivers side of the engine bay underneith a piece of carpet, with what looks like 4 hoses are connected?

Many thanks for the your help in advance.
