My 2008 D3 also does this, i've found that a compination of change of driving habit and the occasional use of sport mode seems to fix it. It does seem to be an ssue when the engine is off boost and sudden acceleration is required. Smooth application of the accelerator seems to work better than flooring it which simply causes a delay as the transmission shifts down and throttle response is reduced until it has found the lower gear. Sport mode seems to aleviate the situation by keeping revs higher as you are coasting so the turbo lag is less as the turbo spools up.
Never been more than an annoyance to me though and I'm not sure that my example is as bad as some have reported.

Reply With Quote.I can tell you that if this iritation is the only nigle that my pride and joy presents ( which basicly is the case) then I can cruise the miles more a happy man.You are on the money with a slight change of throtle use it dose ease things a little and yes using the sport mode practicly removes it all together.The main thing is though that it would appear that it is not a major mechanical problem that is likley to bite my bum down the trak.Its Sat AM and my mates are calling, Im off for a days fishing out of Terrigal, Central coast,Snapper and trag are abound wish me luck.Thanks again and have a good one.
