Hi all,

I am a new Audi A3 8V (2013) owner that recently experienced a weird behavior from the car.

When hard accelerating from a full stop, the car starts shaking and making a loud noise like its trying to break real hard. After that initial moment, it continues to accelerate properly and no problem is observed. Also the traction control lights starts flashing during this period. I must add that I have noticed it in wed roads, although as it rains a lot where I live I have not had the chance to test it in a dry road.

I am attaching a video I took while this happened to better illustrate my situation as I am not a technical guy so maybe I am not explaining it correctly.

I would really appreciate any input on whether this is a normal behavior due to the conditions I mentioned above!



Car details:
- 1.4 TFSI
- 7-gear S-tronic
- Currently equipped with summer tires.
