1.8 FR throttle

[Notch000]

Hi, first post, new owner here, I have a new to me 2015 FR ST 1.8TSI , 1 owner, 180KMs . for me its been an odd step from a long term mk5 GTI DSG back to a manual car again. Anyways I have an odd feeing the throttle is unusually jerky. I feel that lifting off the throttle while moving there is a bit of an abrupt switch to the power cutting out after 0.5-1 seconds later. and the same while engaging the throttle. it a little jerky between power on off. I get a bit car sick over thinking about it. Also in stop start traffic it hard to creep smoothly at v low speeds and I have to feather the clutch a bit too to avoid kangarooing's. I have other manual cars long term so this is not a critic of my driving style or ability to drive !!

Can anyone relate to this accelerator feel ?
Great Forums BTW

There are some tweaks on throttle response that can be done through a diagnostics device like OBD11 or VCDS. Those changes can lead to better responses for some driving modes but worse driveability for others. Maybe one of the previous owners had done something like that. Search for so-called "Audi mode throttle response" and also "driving profile switchover", this could be related too.

I'l have a play with the different driver profiles and see if there is a difference, only one previous owner who didn't seem like the type that would be messing with VCDS but who knows.

We've had four Mk3 Leons and never had an issue like you describe. I think you have a fault.
