S4 throttle delay
Hi guys,
I have a 2004 S4 with the 6 speed, and when I go to power, there's a delay of maybe half a second from the time I ask for the power to the time I get it. It doesn't sound like much, but it's very annoying. I asked the dealership about it (and had the tech drive it), and the tech told me it was just because I wasn't used to a car with so much hp. That's not it. They also said there were no software updates available for it. Anybody have a clue how to fix it? It's driving me nuts. -- Pete '84 CJ-7 with a bunch of engine mods. Looks pretty stock from the outside. '04 Audi S4 Nogaro Blue/White leather, bone stock. |

I think that pulling the codes is the place to start ... at an independent shop.
I drove a friend's '04 S4 6spd in an Audi track day and do not remember that happening. What I do remember is very quick response. The dealer's tech sounds like he is good as BSing uninformed customers to save the dealer money.

Pete, Have you tried resetting the drive-by-wire (DBW) memory? Turn the key on (do not start the car) and hold the gas pedal down for 15 seconds. See if that changes anything for you. Another thing you might want to check is the air filter pre-screen (in the air intake snorkel between the top of the air box and the inlet that's screwed into the grill area). That little bugger gets all clogged with debris and if you don't clean it out, it could easily impede air flow into the air box. - Charlie 04 S4 6MT 06 A4 2.0T Avant |

I think that's the plan at this point. And you're right about the tech
being good at BSing, and I knew it at the time. I just didn't know what else to say. Thanks for your help.
