So today I was driving to work and when I hit 60MPH I felt a little jerk from tha car and power loss and the Check engine light started flashing. I shut it down and started it back up hoping for a reset or something, the light is still flashing. The owners manual says to keep driving the car avoiding hard accelerations and that flashing CEL could mean a damaged catalyc converter.

The car is a 2005 1.8T CVT A4 with 37K miles. I just got it not even 2 months ago and I already have to deal with this.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

It sounds like a CP failure to me. Is it a R version CP?

I had this issue w/ my '02 A4 where 1 or 2 of the coils in my ignition coil pack went bad. I had loss of power, and the check engine light flashed. It's a very straightforward fix that can be easily diagnosed. You should be able to find more information on ignition coil pack failure on this forum.

Thanks for the help everyone, it ended up being the coils.
