Audi s3
2000
57k miles (owned from new)
Unchipped
Standard throughout (regrettably)
Hi, ive read the FAQ and can't see anything obvious or related there. Sorta been getting progressively worse as well.
Dont seem to have any torque from idle up to about 4k and then it's like a switch, power suddenly kicks in.
eg If im on the motorway in 6th around 2k you feel an initial pickup then it's spluttering (you can just hear the turbo whisitling up and down vaguely) and come about 4/5k revs bang, engine is alive instantly and off i go.
Very obvious in 2nd gear for example, if i accelerate slowly in 1st and then foot down in 2nd, nothing until 4k or sometimes 5k, then instant pickup.
Any help most appreciated.
