Default Acceleration problem
I have a 2003 a4 T, when I accelerate the car just reves up and is extremely slow to pick up. The car feels as if it had no transmission oil. But I check it and the transmission oil is fine. Once the car picks up it runs so/so, but the car has no power. does anyone have any ideas?

Default Have you disconnected the battery recently?
Try a throttle body adjustment and see if that does anything.
