I asked the dealer the same thing when I first got my A3. ..
I even got them to check EDL had actually been fitted to my car! I couldn't believe how bad it was!
It's worse in the dry I find, in terms of juddering I mean. In the wet the wheels spin more easily, so I don't think it comes through the transmission quite as bad.
You can certainly get heads turning when you're just spinning up the street! Trouble is, speaking personally, I must have a look of shock/embarassment on my face for anyone watching. Cause half the time it takes me by surprise.
)
You can also get the EDL twitching on the exit of bends, such as when flooring-it out of a round-about. Because the inside wheel is scrabbling for traction, the EDL kicks in, even though I'm probably doing about 30mph (and the rest). I wondered what was happening when that first happened!

And what about the crap traction control that cuts out above 15mph ,only designed for snow use apparently!

Hi Guys
I just bought a 2015 Audi s3 sedan and boy am i disappointed,before reading up on all these posts I was like did I buy a fake Quattro .LOL
So I launched the car a couple of times and it's spinning like a front wheel drive,I'm I right in thinking that my haldex clutch or pump is damage?
