Just bought a new TT roadster. It is an automatic and when it up shifts it sounds like it misses or backfires. Is this a normal sound? Also it has been hard to start a few times. It has less than 1,000 miles on it. I haven't tried it in sport mode to see if there is a difference shifting off the paddles.

 

go to advance auto have them hook up the code reader to the obd II its free they will give you a print out and that will tell you if you are getting misfire because most likely your plugs, coilpacks or wires are bad

 

oh wait is it a brand new 2008 if it is then i have no clue i read it wrong i apoligize...

 

Tell me you're kidding. This "boohhh" (hard to describe, it "kinda" sounds like backfiring) sound when s-tronic shifts sounds so cool (and I am not 18 yo student but middle aged married professional). It's not a glitch, it's a feature
