Faulty Washer Reservoir Indicator?

Re: Engine "bogging" down under hard acceleration when shift

You have suggested the answer, it is ESP limiting tyre slip and protecting the transmission coupled with throttle / torque limiter which is apparent in 1st/ 2nd/3rd. Switch ESP off and it will improve. +1, there was a thread on this a couple of weeks ago. Tried looking for the thread acn't seem to ...

Re: Engine "bogging" down under hard acceleration when shift

If you press the ESP button then it will flash on and off, that is stage one disabled. If you press and hold the button for 5 seconds it is permanently illuminated which is stage II off. In the secnario you are describing only when the wheels actually lose traction will you see the light flashing, ...

Engine "bogging" down under hard acceleration when shifting

My RS4's engine "bogs" down under full throttle when shifting from 2nd -3rd or 3rd to 4th gears.... If you give a second or a little breather before shifting it does not "bog" down and shifts perfectly... Is this normal? I have tried researching and some people say it may be a defective or dirty MAF...
