Mine started doing it after it had the stage 2 map and removal of the SAI but before it was deflapped. Possibly defective flaps but doesn't that normally throw an error?
Hesitation when engine cold - any ideas?

I'm pretty sure you can see it in measuring blocks in VCDSJaheenormous wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 6:03 pmThat's interesting i didn't know that.. Seems to read ok on the dial but it would be good to confirm with a digital read-out.. Problem is, with no error codes and without putting a thermocouple on the coolant circuit you've got no way to tell if the sensor is off..

Re: Hesitation when engine cold - any ideas?
I had same problem changed maf sensor ,sorted.fairzy wrote:I’ve had my RS4 for about 6 months so far and aside from some large bills (Michelin Pilot 4s all round, deflapping / stage 2 at MRC etc) I love it.
I’ve noticed that until the engine has warmed a bit (water gauge has started moving) the engine can stutter / doesn’t accelerate cleanly under partial load but if you put your foot down it’s fine. I mentioned it to MRC who couldn’t find anything.
I’ve since run VCDS and it had a ‘left engine mount solenoid valve N144 P1573 - 004 - open circuit intermittent’ fault but don’t know if its linked.
Can anyone help?

Do you have a part number for the sensor?markcookie7 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 10:50 pmI had same problem changed maf sensor ,sorted.fairzy wrote:I’ve had my RS4 for about 6 months so far and aside from some large bills (Michelin Pilot 4s all round, deflapping / stage 2 at MRC etc) I love it.

I’m pretty sure the flaps were operating ok before - MRC said they were in good condition when they were taken out and there were no errors in VCDS.FaisalJ wrote:This is common behaviour for a deflapped car - mine does it too (and I too thought something was wrong and asked MRC to check).
As to why it did this before - are you sure your flaps were operational? They can get stuck.

Changing MAF sounds like an option - will have a look around to see how much a replacement is and if it’s a DIY job.
Also am I right in thinking there are flaps in / below the air box that you can test with VCDS? Wonder if they could be part of it...

There is an airbox flap that is indeed in/below the airbox, it opens above 5500rpm. And yes it can be tested during the vacuum tests using VCDS, There's a guide in the FAQ post.
