Default Throttle Control Problems - Seriously

I have a problem controlling the RPM's just above idle. At parking lot speeds, the RPM's jumps back and forth between idle and ~1100 RPM's. Intially, I thought that it may be changing back and forth between gears, but it is not. I have put it in paddle mode and set it in a gear. It seems like the resolution is not fine enough when trying to hold the RPM between idle and ~1000.

I will take it to the dealer, but I would like to know what is causing this before I take it in. Has anyone seen this before or know what could be causing this condition?

2008 A6.

Mine did that. It switched between idle and main timing tables. Making the timing the same cured that. you might want to pass this idea on to your tuner.

So no parts required? Just some programming changes?
