RS4 unintended accelerator surging

[ryan1991]

Hi guys sorry to jump in on this but i have had a similar issue with my 2013 b8 not so much the surging i think but 3 times now when i've accelerated hard on the motorway the accelerator has literally stuck on and would not let off i had to try slamming the brakes several times to try slow the thing down, eventually it did each time .....proper scary moments when your hitting 3 figure mph and cant slow the thing down ...i've got it booked in to a local garage who know of this problem with the v8 engine so hopefully they can sort it ..possible build up in the throttle bodies holding the valves open ?? Whats peoples thoughts on this?

Hello Jay376, sorry not been on here in a while. Thats very scary. I wouldnt be able to make any sujestions, did the local garge help at all?

Yeah scary indeed, so my car has aftermarket diamond stich leather flooring and it turns out the accelerator pedal was getting hooked up on the matting when pressed hard, the garage ran diagnostics and found no faults but when they took it out thats when they realised it was the matting. All sorted now while it was in it had a carbon clean, fuel system clean, 4 new Dunlops and all 4 calipers were removed and overhauled and front pads replaced as the pistons were sticking on a couple of the calipers all for a really great price, i cant recomend them enough their service is outstanding.

Nice!

Glad to hear you got that sorted Jay and it was straightforward, that's enough to stop you driving the car. It would have stopped me...
What's the name of the garage that you were impressed with?

Hi Ryan

Sorry for the delayed message, due to the lockdown I haven't taken the car to the Audi main dealer yet however I plan to in March. once I have the feedback on the issue, I will update the post. Hope your car issue is closer to getting resolved?
