Default Does everyone lug with A/C on?

Hey guys,

I am still breaking in my A4. I had a few problems in the beginning that were fixed but I just want to get an overall idea of how Audi's (A4's) run. For all of you with with A4 2.0T's out there, do you feel a seriousdrag in acceleration when the a/c is on? I'm talking from initialtake off. let me know your experience.

Thanks a ton in advance... all of your wisdom is greatly appreciated!

Hey SM,
I've never noticed any real change in acceleration when the a/c is on. I've run the car fairly hard with it on too.

I am at 30k miles, havent notice a lug with the AC on. Although I have in other cars many times. But not so far in my A4.

Thanks guys. It seems to be getting worse so I'm gonna get it checked out. I have been experiencing the sputter without the A/C as well so I'm thinking it must be a torn valve or bad plug. I'll let you know. Thanks again for your input.
