Audi A6 3.0T Throttle Issue
Hi Members,
I have a 2014 Audi A6 3.0T Premium. when I am driving in Sports mode and press on accelerator the pick is not smooth, i get some jerks and also when I brake i get the same thing. I am not sure whats causing the issue. This happens only when I drive in Sports mode
Has anyone experienced it before?
Please respond friends.
Regards
Audi User.

I have a 2014 3.0T too and mine does the same thing plus shudder during acceleration in both Comfort and Sport modes. I took it to the dealer three times and they say it's normal
every time. I have the latest software update.

Any chance you have another dealer in your area you could try?

There are numerous posts from people who don't post their location and as the engine and transmission programs vary by location then the responses maybe invalid.
As you can see, I am located in the US and my transmission will jerk when decelerating from a slow speed to a stop but only when the engine is cold. The OP, wherever he may be, states the issue with acceleration and deceleration and also implies a throttle issue. My issue is considered normal and Audi will not do anything about it. BTW - it is exacerbated by the Chipwerke add-on. More details are required from the OP and from responders.

Yes. I'm going to start having my services at another dealer from now on. I've only been going to this dealer because that's where I bought the car from. And I hear other dealers are not too keen on doing warranty work on cars bought from other dealers.

When I first got my 2012 A6, the transmission was pretty clunky in both comfort and sport. I used VCDS to 'Reset all adaptations' on the transmission, which seemed to improve the clunking. Then, over time as it learned *my* driving style, it has gotten a lot better. Or, I just got used to it. 
Really, I would like an option to disable adaptive transmission entirely.

What's the transmission upgrade? Is it something dealer will do for free?
