Default 2003 A6 Quattro

I have a strange vibration when pressing the accelerator sometimes and when braking sometimes. The engine is not misfiring. Im thinking its a suspension issue on the front end. Any ideas????

Need more details. Bring it by and I'll take a ride and help you diagnose it.

Default How would you know misfire without VCDS?

When was the last time you had your wheels checked for bends and/or balanced? Flat spots are rare with ABS, but perhaps from storage not unheard of. Suspension checks for worn upper control arms should be done annually; LCAs not so much but again not unusual on 12 y/o car.

Potholes suck…my wife can bend several wheels a year, not to mention curb rash on all four wheels. LOL…she thinks the wheel insurance she bought with her new leased A5 covers curb rash! (It doesn't IIRC).
