hello all, my petrol S-Line has started having a momentary loss of power, it normally happens just after changing up a gear when pulling away but now it is happening quite often. It is not predictable as it doesn't happen at any particular time and it is only a momentary blip but is getting a bit dangerous. It appears it might be the throttle position sensor but i'm not sure, any ideas would be appreciated. Cheers.
A code read might show up a throttle position fault..
Might be the best place to start
i did mean to add, i've just had the car back from audi for other work and mentioned this problem but there were no fault codes related for this problem.Quote:

one came up but that was to do with the MAF because i had unplugged it to try and locate another problem. That was the only code that came up i think.
I had a similar problem to this in that when I would accelerate away in say second or third, the car would hesitate momentarily and then kick on (abt 1500-2500RPM). It slowly got worse over time. No fault on scan and couldn’t figure out what it was.
Was just abt to change fuel filter when I was decided to change fuel. Didn’t go for any of that super expensive crap, just a different vendor. Within a couple of weeks the problem had disappeared.. That’s a good year ago now..
I can only assume I was getting dirty fuel, as have no other explanation as to why the issue went away…
the problem sounds exactly the same, i will have to wait until i use up the rest of the tank. So you didn't suspect the throttle sensor then?
I didnt because when I scanned the car with VAGCOM I got zero faults...
Hope you get sorted...
same here switched to shell derv and the hesitation has greatly reduced to almost gone.
