Default Audi A6 1.9TDI won’t set off smoothly

Hi I have an Audi A6 avant 1.9 tdi 2003 automatic
recently my car doesn’t seem to set off smoothly but still starts and drives fine and still pulls like a train. Only got 140,000 mileage which is low for this car and it’s bulletproof PD130 engine.
it seems like the car is coughing and sometimes wheelburning
this happens in drive and sports mode
had water getting in Ecu footwell few months ago but got that issue sorted
could it be something to do with that
Anyone know why my car sets of so jerky and coughs ????
plz help any advice welcomed

As with most problems on A6 C5 cars, the logical thing to do is have your car scanned with VCDS or VAGCOM. It sounds like it might be a fuel injection problem. You are moving the steering wheel when driving, right?
