Thanks all
A bad coil on my wifes new Audi A4 caused a blinking CEL. It happened as I was less than halfway across the Mississippi River in Memphis. Impossible to say for sure but the Audi sounded exactly like you are describing. Not a very expensive repair. Coils are about $45 each US and are really easy to install.

Good luck with it!
