Hey guys,
I think my QA needs some love. I have symptoms a lot like this guy (link below), rough idle, car stalling while driving, occasional pulses of fuel causing to rev, etc. Of course flashing glow plug and CEL.
I don't have access to a VAG right now but something similar happened once about 8 months ago, I let it sit overnight and never had another problem until now. The code at that time was QA upper limit reached and so I assume this problem is finely getting worse.
I'm in Windsor, ON right now and hoping I can at least limp this car half way home (200km) to get within my tow range as I do not have the tools (or know how really) to attempt cleaning and adjusting the QA as suggested in the thread below.

My question is if I can keep restarting this and make it go do you think I'll do any irreparable damage? And when I get it back should I maybe just salvage an IP off one of my other cars and pay someone to put it in? Or does a newbie have a realistic shot of adjusting this thing after cleaning?
Thanks in advance for you thoughts and advice.
