Just bought used A3 Quattro--Transmission Question
 

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.
