Engine stuttering...

[S4Jem]

Hi Fellas,

Need your opinion...

The last couple of times i've driven the car and have been a little spirited, upon lifting off the accelerator the car stutters (feels like the engine wants to jump out) even though I have a DTS fitted.

Only happens when I boot it and then lift off quickly. The temp today was 15c so i do not think it is down to the air temp....any ideas what could be the cause ?

Cheers
Jem

Sparkplugs, might be worth changing them if you haven't done them in a while.
Or it could be fuel related like the filter on its way out or your injectors.

Vag com your car and see what comes up. That really your first move.

Un-educated guess I'm afraid as I'm a bit of a mechanical-<beep>, but I'm pretty sure that if you lift off the throttle and the engine keeps going for a sec, then it's a sign of a diverter valve fault.
I'm ready to be corrected though and willing to learn, so shoot me down if needsbe

What DVs have you got fitted?

Hmmmmm, didn't think of that one. You're a more sound mechanic than me Ads4.

Mine does this when letting offer accellerator in low gears, blame it on the clutch. However I did change the fuel filter and it helped it alot in 1st/2nd.
I have a pack of spark plugs here as well, will try them.

Ok the out come of this is a boost leak caused by a split in the TBB for those that are interested
