Weird feeling when I press gas
 
This isn't really a new problem, even if it is a problem but when I press the gas to the floor it almost feels like the wheels try to spin then the computer kicks in and shifts power to different wheels, it feels like its trying to spin tires. If I was driving a v8 or something I would understand but I just don't see my car having enough torque/power to spin tires while the car is moving (it does it all the way to 4th gear, havnt had it happen in 5th), is this actually the wheels spinning and Quattro kicking in to stabilize or is there an actual problem here?

Slipping clutch?

Sounds like a clutch. The torsen system wouldnt be "slipping" . If you have stage 2 tune and havent replaced your clutch, good chance its getting ready.

Ok good, my clutch has been slipping a bit and I was planning to replace it soon. Very good I was hoping it wasn't slipping time or anything :)

Yep clutch, mine does the same till 4th. If you floor it on a high gear but low speed it will happen. For the moment till the new clutch best avoid doing that and driving the car with a good amount of speed in each gear.

Fuck that, drive the piss outta it till it wont even engage :)

haha fair enough, at least thrash it close to home or a garage to save some money on towing :)

This. I drove mine until I couldn't make it up a tiny hill!

Good way to always test a slipping clutch is to go about 30mph, shift into 5th and romp on the gas, if the car revs at all it's slippin like cake down a fat girls throat

Same thing with mine this past summer. Also my valve cover was leaking so bad in the back it was getting on the clutch and making it worse. 175,000 on a clutch ain't too bad. Especially with me driving.
