Hi, folks,

I have a 2000 A6 Quattro 2.7L with about 164,000 miles on it. Just recently the car has begun stuttering when accelerating. It seems to idle fine and to drive on level surfaces fine, but when accelerating past a certain speed or when going uphill, the engine begins stuttering.

I'm trying to figure out the problem to do a DIY repair (money is especially tight). Is this a fuel pump problem? fuel filter problem? fuel injector problem? computer problem? or am I completely off base?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Step one: pull codes.
Step two: post this in the correct forum.

Sounds like a boost leak.

Thank you.

But how do I pull the codes?

And I'm sorry I'm in the wrong forum, but which is the correct one?

You should be in the C5 forum.
