Hesitation right after start
Hello,
My S4 is going in for its 30k tune-up. Here is a list of things for them to look at. Any comments? Any additonal things I should mention?
1. Rattle of climate control fan in dash right after cold start (lasts about 1-2 min). It is independent of whether the climate control is on or off.
2. Engine hesitates noticeably 10-20 seconds after start. Very uneven when throttle applied (just very normal acceleration), which results in jerky driving.
3. Check my turbos just to see if they are doing well (is this even possible without taking them out?).

2. - I use to have the same problem. Temp sensor eventually went bad and was replaced and I never
had hesitation again. I'm not sure if it was related or not.
3 - I guess they could check for blow-by/oil in the intercoolers. But they can't inspect the turbos without some decent work. They can however drive around and monitor actual vs. requested boost to make sure you are hitting max boost. Although I doubt they would do that unless you complain about something relevant to a turbo issue.

I used to have the same problem that you described in #2, I solved it by
waiting about a minute or less before driving after start-up. I wait until the rpm's go from about 1200 down to about 800 and then start driving. Can't remember why this works, just know that this solved the problem for me. Hope this helps.
