Greetings, everyone.

I just purchased a used 2006 A3 Quattro and have a question about the transmission. First let me say that I do not have much experience driving a standard, so I might simply be getting used to the DSG technology.

Here's the situation:

1. When letting my foot off the gas pedal and before accelerating, the car sputters a bit with a slight jerking motion.
2. This same phenomenon occurs when the car is downshifting to first gear.
3. Sometimes it feels like I have to really accelerate hard before the reverse gear engages.
4. The dealer replaced all four coils before delivering the car.

Not sure if these are normal issues, or if I should be concerned.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

4?

He's a furriner.

All sounds pretty normal for DSG, especially the bit about reverse.

Sorry. Not sure how many coils in the A3 3.2. The dealer simply said that he replaced them all.

x2 on that!
