Hesitation

Do you guys find with an A6 4.2 there is a slight hesitation when your turning and apply gas?, but as soon as the wheel is out of the turn the hesitation lets up. Is that the servtronic?

Re: Hesitation

Sounds more like a function of the EDL than servotronic. Do you feel a shudder through the driveline when this happens?

Re: Hesitation

Re: Hesitation

Hmm. Then I would have to guess that either the power steering is somehow bogging your engine, or perhaps there's a traction control element at work here and it's not functioning properly.

Re: Hesitation

So do you think the servotronic is dialing up too much assist and somehow bogging the engine?

That would have to be A LOT of power steering assist to bog down a 300 hp V8.
