    Are misfires normal?

    So... there are other threads that discuss my ongoing problems with my S3, but have a specific question that I would like some help with. The dealer asked me to use VCDS to help diagnose what might be causing a sporadic 'hesitation' when driving. So, several journeys done and I review the...
