Awful lag & wheel spin

[Kevin5]

Hi Guys, 

 

Just drove my partner's car Audi A4 2015 B8.5 1.8 tfsi. Couldn't help but notice the terrible lag when accelerating from standstill Either in D or Sport same issue.

The car seem to be standing still for about 2 secs after I put my foot on accelerator, when I put my down even more then I get the wheel spin out of control and it's not intentionally I just want to get going.....

 

Has anyone else experienced this issue before?  

 

Thanks in advance.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could it be a turbo issue?

Hi Kevin

I had exactly the same issue with my A4 B8. Had it diagnostically checked out but no issues showed up. I was told to take it to ann auto gearbox specialist. They took it aprt and found one of the plates ( can't remember which one ) was looking a bit suspect. They replaced it but only marginal improvement.
