On my 2001 2.8 audi a4 auto. I notice that in low rpms there seems to be a bit of hesitation before the car begins to accelerate.

Or if Im driving and I need to pass, without hitting the button under the gas pedal, it feels a little hollow for a few seconds before it drops a gear and my power is there.

Im not sure how better to describe it, I know the car has the power it just dosnt immediatly acess it.

Any ideas?

 

check your tranny fluid. If your low your tourque converter will hesitate under heavy throtle.

 

reset the throttle body

 

How can I be sure that the throttle body has been reset, is there any noise / iddicatiction that is iddicative to this?

 

How does one check their tranny fluid? I don't know if the 2001s are different, but I can't find anyway of checking mine, 02 3.0 tip
