Dead Spot

[i_audi]

I just purchased an '06 A4 (automatic) with 22,000 miles on it. Love the car but notice there seems to be a dead spot at 1200 rpms. If I'm starting from a stop, say driving through town, the car accelerates/shifts normal until it hits 1200 rpms then there is a hesitation say until you get pass 1400 then the car takes off. Its then perfect at any other speed/condition after that. Any suggestion on what could be causing it?

Your feeling slight turbo lag that is more noticeable in the automatic version of the 2.0t

Any fixes for this other than quicker acceleration?

my car is pretty similar to yours and i have the same thing when turning off of my street from a stop. its turbo lag. even a chip isnt really going to fix that. blame the transmission- a manual would have made things better.

Yeap, had the same problem, now i've just gotten used to it.

Thanks, its my first audi, so I feel better knowing that this is normal behavior and that there is not something wrong with the car
