What could this problem be?
« on: October 14, 2013, 11:15:49 pm »
Hi guys

I have had my edition 30 for about 3 weeks now. Bought it used from a dealer so have a warranty.

A couple of times now I have accelerated relatively hard and the revs seem to stutter as if it's on a limiter and stops accelerating? Only when accelerating hard... No other time? I haven't noticed. Warning on the dash.
It's done 32k miles

Thanks for any replies

It needs scanning to be sure, it could be a number of things, coil packs plugs and ahost of other things. Have a look on the VCDS register for someone near buy you to scan it for you.  :happy2:
