Help!! Performance Issue
I have a 99 A4 1.8T with 60,000Kms.
I have owned the car for 1 year and it seems to have performance issues like hesitation, no pick up when accelerating. The car also has difficulties changing into the next gear after going up a steap hill?? I have taken the car into my AUDI dealership and they have had 2 tech's test drive it and both said there was no problem. Everyday I drive my car and wonder, "Is this all this car has??" My wife's Honda civic excelarates better, what's wrong with this picture.
Am I just crazy?? or is something wrong with my car, any advise would greatly be appreciated as I'm about to go to AUDI and have it out with them! I love this car and want to own one for life.
Thanks
Sam

Heavy car +Auto trans +quattro +150 hp = slow.
Comparison... my 150 hp auto tranny jetta would smoke my chipped manual 01.5 1.8t avant!
So... 130 hp in a 2wd lightweight civic would feel quicker...
Solution: CHIP IT! (if 47 extra hp sounds good!)

Get a chip, it'll bring a new definition to your car... if you want more power,
a K04 upgrade with a full exhaust from downpipe back will give your car some good pull and still stay somewhat within the factory specs of the auto tranny.
