Default The fuel filter is simple. You just need to jack the right rear and remove a plastic panel and you

will see it. As far as your hesitation goes, have you cleaned out the Mass Airflow Sensor? It is as simple as unscrewing it from the housing and spraying it with MAF cleaner.

Default Tell ya what...lets trade!!!

Drive your car to Upstate NY, i'll let you borrow my Hyundai rental car. Let me drive your audi around while mine is having the body work done, then drive back up here and pic your car up in a week or two. Sound like a deal?

Have you scanned the car for possible vac leaks?

Default All easy fixes, as with any car

you have to stay on top of the maintenance or you will be rolling in a beater before you know it.

Default No, but I had it in the shop about a month ago and they hooked it up to their computer....

I would assume they would have found something, but who knows....I need to take it in the for an oil change ( I know, easy DIY), but I'm lazy when it comes to oil changes. Maybe I'll have them drive it a bit and see if they notice the hesitation.
Thanks.

Default Audi issued a TSB concerning intermittent idle speed variation and vibration....

the remedy is to clean the throttle body, then reset the throttle body adaptation using VAG-COM.

BTW, all cars, especially very complicated premium cars, have minor occasional glitches that are annoying, but easily corrected. In the case of the sunroof glitch, a revised switch is available. For the windows, try resetting the pinch protection by running the windows closed, then hold the switch in the close position for 5 seconds, then test. Do that for each window.

Default oooh, good stuff...thanks....should a certified technician clean the throttle body?..

I don't own a VAG-COM, so I wouldn't know how to reset I am guessing.
Thanks!!!!
