Hi everyone!

I am a proud owner of a 2006 2.0tfsi avant quattro. It really looks the part!

We have owned it a month or 2 now. it is quick, since the shine of buying it has worn of a little, I cant help but feel that it should be quicker.

It pulls really smooth, and accelerates fine. I think there should be more power though. I owned a 1.8ts A3 quattro some years back and that was definitely quicker.

Though that is where my experience with turbo cars ends. I can really feel the turbo on the A4 "kicking in". I didnt expect a kick in the back, when the boost came on, but something. I also cant hear the boost, I assume that is because it is a low boost system. or should I be able to hear it?

I bought a vag fault code reader today and didn't find any codes, so i guess thats good. I have done lots of reading on here and elsewhere on similar issues: I tried the PCV valve diagnosis, feeling form sucking from the oil filler cap. there was tiny amount of vacuum (but of course there should be right?). I also would suspect the diverter valve, but as i said no fault codes were on the car. So could it still be that?

All input really welcome....

Cheers

Craig

 

The weight of our cars tend to give the impression of slowness. There are a lot of threads about upgrading the performance of the A4. Chip seems to be the most bang for the buck out there.

 

I believe the added weight of the quattro system makes this car more of a pooch at times... As rhodes991 mentioned - chips seem to be very popular with these cars and you can find a lot of writeups on them in the forum.
