A6 with flutter with A4/8 : torque converter?
Well crap. I just drove to a resort in north Georgia for a few days of relaxation and my A6 is acting weird. I feel and see RPM fluctuation during A4 operation. I was cruising at 79 mph and the car started to shudder. It sounds just like the A8 issue except I have the A6. I dropped the shifter to M to lock out the A4 function and the shuddering stopped and the rpms smoothed out. I guess I need to make the dreaded trip to the dealer for a transmission problem. Luckily, my drive train is 5 year with the 2014 so it might be inconveniencing but not costly.
I'll take it in on Monday to see what they can do. I'll record some of it's shenanigans on the trip home with my iPhone so there is no confusion on the issue with the car.

Took the drive home and noted that the oil pressure fluctuates as the RPMs fluctuate. My oil pressure goes from 35 PSI to 45 PSI as the RPMs fluctuate up and down.
The appointment is at 9:20 on Monday. Let the games begin.

Me: Gives a lengthy explanation of issue.
Service Rep: Yep, we've seen this on the A8 too. We'll take care of it.
Day 1 begins!

No Trouble Found...
Looks like I'll need to take the car out and drive it with my EFILive attached. Maybe I can get it to go into a hissyfit and get it recorded.
