I'm glad we had the same results, and that this problem is just about pinpointed!!! My hesitation starts at 3k-4k RPMs, so yes mine starts smooth at lower, and starts at higher. Get a price check from the dealer on the clip, and if they say more then $10, I'll see if my guys can send it to you.

Well reading this it would appear that I should check my MAFS.. Thinking about it, I did get a code relating to MAP a few months ago before the problem originated. Does this problem you get usually happen at higher speeds? I don't notice hesitation until I get over 110-130k. Which is annoying for accelerating on the autobahn with speeds well over that. From 0-30/50k its all power. I don't want to pay Audi 200EUR(almost 300$) to just look at it without doing any work.

Thats my current plug, im having trouble finding a new plug the ******* at my local wrecking yard is asking 100$ for it. I found a guy parting out a 01 a4 on craigslist so im gonna go and try and pick one up from him if he still has it. While driving with my MAFS unplugged my check engine light came on for my knock sensor and mafs lol.

wow... $100 for that, thats insane -.-. As far as your CEL coming on...as soon as you put the new clip in, if you dont have a vag-com, if you unplug your battery for 10min or so it should reset the code. If you cant get the part, go to USP Motorsports - Specializing in VW Audi & Porsche vehicles and contact them either trough email or call them. They sell the part for $10, then you would just have to pay for shipping.
