I have a 2006 A4 2.0T Quattro and have had turbo lag problems for a while. The car just has so much delay from a stop. Dont even ask about hills, it's ridiculous. I have also cut numerous people off changing lanes b/c my car wont go, and then it just jumps.
Is there anything i can do to fix this without compromising my lease?

 

how bad is the lag cause there will always be turbo lag with turbos
its normal for the car to start boosting around 2500rpm

 

Since it's till under warranty, have the dealer take a look at it.

 

if you think 2.0T's are bad you should go drive a 1.8T

 

The load from the A/C in this heat may be the cause.

 

even with out the A/C on this hot tempature will cause the lag

 

Try putting it on sport mode. I thought mine had some lag problems, turned out when in D mode, it upshifts way too soon

 

Ha seriously Real boost doesnt really come till 3.0-3.5, It really picks up after 4k

 

Doesn't sound normal.

Take it back, demand one that works properly!

 

I also have a 2006 A4 2.0T. It's a 6-speed manual and the turbo lag is virtually nonexistent--less than 1 second. I had a 2002 1.8T MT5 and the turbo lag was noticeable, especially with the airconditioning running, but far less than what you describe with your 2.0. Take the car back to the dealer--there's certainly something wrong.
