Q2 SQ2 problem

[steeve]

A few weeks ago we bought a brand new SQ2. Up to now we like the car but there's one big issue spoiling it for us.

It just doesn't have any go. It's unusable in comfort mode, press the accelerator and nothing happens, unless you press the pedal to the carpet, then it takes off. A gradual increase in pressure on the accelerator pedal doesn't elicit any increase in speed. It's quite dangerous. Particularly joining a motorway, you either join at a slow speed or join at warp speed which is not healthy.
Dynamic mode is better, but not a lot. It's like putting your foot in a bowl of custard. It's not a pleasure to drive.
We are used to cars of this power, from Subarus, Golf R's S3's etc. We are used to pressing the pedal and then the car should increase speed in line with the increased movement of the accelerator pedal.

It's so disappointing I'm really thinking about returning it.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Tbh, the comparative of the previous cars & this is definitely going to be a eye opener, like my A5, they're synonymous for delayed gas pedal, it's a feature lol, I'd look at remaps or return, also check for software update, thing is due to emissions they're kinda doing a restriction on some cars these days to pass EU emissions rules, not to say there isn't an issue but it's one thing to check into online.

their might be a software update for your car but you'll need to ask the audi dealer about it.

No issues like that on my SQ2

We have an open issue logged with Audi. Car in at dealer in a week or so. It has put us in a dangerous situation now four times. This is an issue that isn't there all the time. It's not possible to get it to happen on demand.
Dealer technicians want to to have it in dynamic (not a problem) and Sport then drive it like they stole it. It happens when you a re driving normally. Like crossing a roundabout or driving down a slip road to join traffic moving at a higher speed. Trying to accelerate from say 50 to 70 to slot into a gap on the motorway is risky. You press the pedal further down and move across to be met with zero increase in speed until pedal is fully down, then it drops a gear or two and heads off towards the back of the car in front like a scalded cat..... So you either risk getting rear ended of run into the guy in front. Hairy.
