Q7 - loss of Power and Torque at low speed
I have a 6 week old 3.0tdi S-Line. The engine will not pick up when in 4th or 5th gear when rpm is low at 1100/1200 abd doint 30/35mph, it's as if the gearbox is in the wrong gear, engine very slowly picks up untill turbo kicks in at 1600/1700 rpm.
Has anyone had this problem or has any ideas ??
Dealer says there is nothing wrong, but there demonstator is not like it ?

Did a test with respect to your problem..
In my 3.0 TDI.
Steady speed at 55kmh in 4th then add accaleration by degrees. I could not stop it kicking down unless I was very gentle.
Again from 55Kmh steady push throttle 1/2 to 3/4 and it drops to 3rd and rockets away.
Have to say from 55kmh this car really wants to go. I kept running out of road or caught up to traffic. It seems you do have a problem!
As I posted before did you try SPORT MODE to see if it was different?

Re: Did a test with respect to your problem..
Car has been into dealers for 3 days, they have flashed all software for gearbox and engine then done a 30mile test drive to initiate it all. It does seem a lot better now. Lets see what happens.
