Gears N Rear
Ive been reading the post on getting higher gear ratios on A4 with 2.73 gears . To go to 3.42 im assuming will give me faster acceleration from WOT start? Now i have A lag then the car takes off could it be fuel filters too?

Well, it depends. Have your tried shutting off the traction control? On the earlier cars, when the traction control kicked in, it was rather abrupt. On the later models it was less noticable. Try shutting off the traction control and see what happens, if that doesn't cure it then you can start looking into other things. Careful if the tires start spinning though

Check your DIC and see if you are getting Traction System Active message on the console during the launch
