Would this also cause the short shift between 1st and 2nd gear? I was looking at the GIAC upgrade but could not find a price. Did you or anyone you know do the upgrade?

 

I also had to replace the Crank Seal gasket and valve cover gaskets. The Audi dealer told me the leak was from the crank and the cam seals but and independent garage took care of the valve cover seals & crank seals which corrected the burning oil smell I was getting.

 

What is a VAGcom? and TC?

 

I have a 2006 A6 and I also notice a hesitation from a stop. Best way to descibe it is like you're driving a go-kart. You'll be giving it gas but it takes a second to start moving.
