Hi, Gents, I wonder whether anyone can help me on this. I have an Audi A6 2.5TDi Avant, on a 99/T plate, and there has been this minor problem with power output for some time now, and it's bugging the hell out of me! Imagine sitting on the motorway, doing 80, pulling up behind a truck. You see in your rear view mirror a much faster car, but you can see that you're going to overtake the lorry before he reaches you if you put your foot down to get past. So you put your foot down to get past, but nothing happens, absolutely nothing! You pump the gas pedal a bit, but still nothing. Now the faster car is upon you, and you have to slow to let him past before pulling out. When you accelerate past the truck, you pull away easily. I know the gas is applied in a "fly by wire" fashion, so I reckon there's a problem with either the send unit at the pedal, or the receiver unit next to the ECU. Can anyone enlighten me on whether this is an inherent problem, and whether there is anything I can do to stop this happening at exactly the moment when I need a bit of gas? Cheers in anticipation, Ed
