I picked up an A3 1.8t (51 plate) about a week ago and have noticed that it stutters quite a lot when changing between 1st and 2nd or 2nd and 3rd at around 1K-2K revs. It feels as though the power builds up, then drops away before kicking back in again creating an odd sort of stutter. It's also kangarooing a lot in 1st gear which is starting to get a little embarrassing more than anything!
It doesn't seem to do it when applying full throttle, only when driving economically and the problem is definitely more apparent from a cold start.
I've got 2 months no quibble warranty with the garage I got it from so I'm going to give them a call this week, but I'd quite like to be able to tell them about the issue with a bit of knowledge to back up the symptoms so they don't try and wriggle out of sorting it.
I've had a look around the forums and I've seen that others have had this problem but mainly in the higher rev range so any help with this would be great!
