Hey. lesgoaudi
i have same problem you have on my 03 A6 3.0, did you find out whats causing
that. but when i use the manual shifting it responds perfect. i hope its not the transmision. let me know. Thanks Ed.

 

Wow Old thread!

Clean the throttle body.

The symptoms describes a throttle position problem
Check your codes via a Vag-Com first.

A lot of things could cause this,

Dirty throttle body, Maf, bad wires, Vacuum leak, faulty throttle position sensor.

I was able to clean the TPS on my 4.2 and did a write up on in in the A8 sections, but I'm sure your throttle body is different.

If you have codes post them back in a new thread, that way we don't have to read through this mess to get to your problem.

 

Hehe... only 18 months.... not that old.

 

I replaced the throttle body and it had no effect. current issue with this piece of junk is ABS module throws the rror. they want 1500 to fix. send the controller to be reworked and the issue is still there.

When it runs okay it's great, when it doesn't it makes you want to push it off a cliff.
