AleksaA3quattro Posted Friday at 03:45 PM Posted Friday at 03:45 PM Hello, I have a 2012 8p quattro and i noticed a jerk when moving off in first at almost full lock. It happens at very low speed and low and equal gas input (i would say under 30% of gas pedal). I would explain it as if you suddenly let off the gas and get back on or like car loses power for a split second. It does not happen when wheel is straight or slightly turned or full lock but somewhere in the middle. English is not my first language so i hope i explained it well and i look forward to your replies. Thanks in advance.

AleksaA3quattro Posted Friday at 04:12 PM Author Posted Friday at 04:12 PM No out of place noise, just normal jerk as if you let go off the gas and got back on immediately.
spartacus 68 Posted Friday at 09:53 PM Posted Friday at 09:53 PM Cars with Quattro drive will crab on full lock which might explain lurch. The A3 uses Haldex system so it’s basically on FWD unless speed sensors say otherwise. I doubt there much to worry about. If worried, get the car scanned with VCDS.
