2011 Audi A3 S-line Quattro which has just started intermittently juddering/cutting out when accelerating. It will do it one or two times in quick succession, dropping all power and then return back to accelerating. It's difficult to describe, but it almost feels like a blockage. Only started doing it since it had its emissions 'fix' at Audi. Coincidence or not? Audi certainly think so....snakes. 🐍

Anyone any ideas?

Sounds like a clogged fuel filter.

I think I experienced the same thing yesterday. I was on the fwy going about 60-65mph, probably even slower when all of a sudden my 2016 A3 1.8t started sputtering/stuttering/jerking as if to lose acceleration power. It slowed down so I had to exit the fwy. I had it towed to an Audi dealer but they won't be open until tomorrow. I bought mine as a CPO with 19000 miles a month ago. I've only it less than 1000 miles.
