Audi A6 2000 2.8L Problem....

I have an 2000 Audi A6 2.8L. When I start the car... I leave it idle for about a minute. When I start driving...I step on the gas and I get no power.

I thought it might be the torque converter but here is the catch...after driving for about 10 minute...I guess after the car warms up....everything is fine.

Any suggestions....I live in NYC...and the mechanic here try to rip you off...can anyone suggest a honest mechanic. I do not mind driving to them.

Let me know
Bruce

Re: Audi A6 2000 2.8L Problem....

I believe that doing a throttle adaptation can cure this sort of issue.

1) Turn the ignition on until all the dash lights are lit but DONT start the car.
2) Do not touch anything
3) Press the accelerator down to the floor and hold down for 2-3 mins
4) Release pedal and turn of ignition

Apparently, thei s recalibrates the throttle to the acclerator position which can become out of stnc over time.

Hope it helps

Find someone in your area with a Vag-Com...

...it sounds like your trans might be in a limp mode(?) Click the image in my signature below that says 'VAG Locator'. If nothing comes up in pulling the codes, I'd say do a fluid flush/change if you haven't in the past 50k miles. Good luck with it.
