    New member, idle issue?

    Well hello! I've poked my head around here a few times but finally got myself an A6.

    Its a 2014 prestige with I believe every single option available. Night vision, black optic, sport, cold weather, driver assistance, innovation..I still don't know half of what the car does.

    That being said, my previous car was a 2012 Acura TL AWD Advance (3.7L). One of the things I noticed about this A6 was that the idle wasn't completely smooth. Its not like muscle car rough, but its almost like you can feel an off and on bass from the car next to you. Salesman told me that Audi's don't run completely smooth and because of the supercharged engine, you'll feel a little bit. I've searched around and found some info on possible misfiring but the car isn't throwing any codes. I sat in a 2013 premium plus and it had a similar idle. Is this just a "Audi" thing? Car has 29K on it.

    Here's the first pic

    From my experience if it's a 3.0T which I'm guessing it is, yes that's normal. My S4 does that too. I can't figure out being audi and you'd expect little things like that would be engineered out. Just like the Quattro shimmy when making tight turns going slow. Had mine at the dealer for both and they took me for a ride in a new S4 and it did the same thing

    It's the engine.. Think of the 3.0t as a v8 without 2 cylinders lol.

    Your TL was angled at 60 degrees while Audi is angled at 90
    Not the smoothest engine out there
