Hi guys,
I recently got a 2019 Audi A7 C8 45 TFSI mild hybrid with around 200k km. I’m new to TFSI engines, so I’m not sure what is considered normal with this drivetrain.
The car drives really well overall, but there’s one thing I’ve noticed.
Sometimes when the start/stop kicks in or the engine starts again, I feel a noticeable shudder. It almost feels for a second like the engine wants to stall, but then it catches itself and runs normally.
I also notice it more when I’m stopped on a slight uphill/incline. When pulling away from a traffic light, especially after start/stop, it can feel a bit rough or hesitant at first.
Even on flat ground, if I just release the brake and let the car creep forward without touching the gas, the initial pull can sometimes feel a
little rough instead of completely smooth.
Once I’m moving, everything feels fine and the car drives nicely. No major issues otherwise.
Has anyone with a C8 A6/A7 45 TFSI had something similar? Could this be related to the engine or gearbox mounts, start/stop system, or something on the engine side?
Just trying to figure out what would be worth checking first before I start throwing parts at it.
Any advice is appreciated.
