    GIAC Stage 2 Surge

    At 1/4 throttle my car will SURGE then calm down. Thoughts? could this be a slipping pulley belt? How does the tensioner on our pulleys work? Is it manual or pretension?

    thanks!

    Slipping belt wouldn't make the car surge at 1/4 throttle, quite the opposite.

    Do you have DSG tune? Does it only do it when the engine is warm or cold? All the time?

    Surging can be an effect of a fuel pump going bad, high or low pressure one. Any codes?

    I have the DSG Tune, yes.
    Happens mostly in Auto/Dynamic
    Warm (I just got stage 2 this summer)
    No codes.

    Mine does the exact same thing. Doesn’t matter what gear. I have a p3 gauge and monitor throttle position when it happens. I’ll be at 10-15% throttle and when I just hit that point, the throttle spikes anywhere from 50-80%

    I am having this issue too. Confirmed with logs that throttle is jumping to full open at like 2200 to 2400 with about half pedal travel. I tried clearing adaptations with no luck. Also tried the DSG flash but no difference.
    Which file do you both have? Mine is the Forge pulley file.

    I wonder if there is a setting like this for our cars: http://www.audis3.org/forum/threads/...ag-vcds-coding
    I checked to see if it’s in the same location but cannot access module 44 with vcds
