Default You might be experiencing the hunting and thumping that D2's are famous for. Do a search.

on hunting or thumping and see if your symptoms match. If so, there may be a fix for you here on this forum.

They may be famous for the hunting but until someone or a bunch of someones gets Audi to recognize that the problem exits and researches a fix we will all be poorer for the experience.

Maybe- or else the used market is ripe for the picking, and Tozo's fix makes the problem go away.
