'00 2.7T engine revs up and down while driving
I'm assuming a vacuum leak somewhere but looking for some insights before I dig in. Doesn't appear to do it until about 1500 rpm, boost is strong when you step on it so it can't be a major leak.
Ideas?

I have the same issues in my 04 2.7T. From 1500 to 2000rpms under light load it feels like the automatic transmission is shifting gears or locking up the torque converter. I have no codes. When I connect VCDS it shows no gear shifting.
This will be a great thread if someone has a solution.
Sorry this did help but I feel your pain.
Cheers,
Brian

I think this is fixed. Transmission was 2 quarts low. Filled it and went for a 6 mile test drive. Surging is gone, shifts like glass.
I knew it was low, but I've never experienced anything like that. Then again, I've never had a transmission that low on fluid before. Learn something new every day.

The bigger question is
OK, so how does a transmission lose fluid? Is it leaking from the perimeter of the bottom plate? Is it cracked?
Not doubting you, just don't understand where the fluid went.

How did you know it was low without filling it?

Not sure what you think happened, but a surge at 1500 rpm or so doesn't strike me as a transmission problem. I've only got 900 some thousand miles on VW/Audi products over the past 30 years and haven't paid for many repairs, doing the bulk of them myself. This was a first.
I see what you are getting at. No, I assumed it was going to be a little low due to mileage. Wasn't expecting 2 quarts.

Nevermind....Goggle is my friend. I think I may as well just do a fluid change.
