“Surging” during steady acceleration

Post by martynrich67 » Wed Apr 15, 2020 2:57 pm

Hello all,

My RS4 goes great, but have noticed during fairly steady (but quick-ish) acceleration when on part throttle, you get a slight “surging” kind of feel. Put your foot down hard and there’s no issue at all; it flies.

Wondered if this was a trait, or if anyone else had similar with their RS4?

Cheers 👍🏻

There are threads on here about surging and revving, can't exactly remember what the main cause is
but think its something to do with contaminated clutch packs and a seal leaking!
HTH
