Thanks for sharing the video. Your S3 has the rpm drop at around 2200rpm and then only drops about 200rpm before accelerating again. It is more subtle than my S3 which has about 700rpm and so expect the lurch to be much more pronounced on mine. I'll take it back to dealer to see if they will...

Marky-s3, look forward to your video and see if it's behaves similar to my S3. The issue is occurring at around 2500rpm in my S3 but when I test drove 2018 S3 it occured at 3000rpm. Also, the 2018 lurch was less pronounced than my car so it may be my S3 has traction control or it's calibration...

Marky-s3, look forward to your test results. I believe it's ECS related too since in "ECS: Sport" mode the lurch goes away. Maybe the ECS traction control is too sensitive and the firmware programming shuts down power for a split second when it senses slight traction loss. Also, I didn't use...

Just to summarize the previous problem I posted. In my 2017 S3, I would accelerate in first gear with gas pedal fully compressed from complete stop. The S3 will start accelerating and the tachometer swing to around 2200rpm and then all of a sudden the rpm would drop down to 1500 before...

Another forum suggested that I turned off the traction control. When I tried, the full throttle rpm dipping went away and the acceleration was smooth with no lurch. I then turned the traction control back on and now even with traction control the car is accelerating smoothly with no issues...

This is my first time posting and would like to get feedback if others are getting same full throttle acceleration lag that I've experienced (in sports mode but not launch control mode). I bought 2017 S3 for a few months now and the engine is broken-in and started to drive more spiritedly...
