I just got a 2006 2.0 A4 Manual. I am having trouble accelerating from first gear. Seems to hesitate before any power kicks in. Is it perhaps my timing of clutch and gas? I have owned many standar cars before. Thanks.

 

Welcome to turbo lag.

the beauty of driving stick....if you have 1st gear figured out, the rest are piece of cake

Lag is the ***** but their are several mods you can get to help fight turbo lag

 

you could get a huge trubo

 

With the electronic throttle you have to give it gas earlier. It will also help if you slow down the clucth release just a tad.

 

Yeah these cars dont react well when you dump the clutch, I get quicker launches letting off bit by bit.

 

Yeah turbo lag I have and Audi stick it is sometimes the same way also letting out the clutch bit by bit helps when I need to goo quick
