Hey guys... been driving the euro all of yesterday and theres just one issue i have with it (6spd manual).

When i apply the throttle past roughly 50%, mainly in 2nd and 3rd gear, the whole car begins to resonate quite loudly, you can hear all of the interior parts vibrating. This is definately not normal. I checked with a friend who owns a newish audi a4 and he had the same issue and said it might be the electronic throttle controller?

Has anyone else had this issue?

Cheers

Are you in the right gear when you give it past 50% throttle? If your going like 30km/h and your floor the pedal the car is probably going to struggle and lug because your in the wrong power band? If your going about 70-80km/h and it only happens when you accelerate, could be your driveshafts or something related to your driveline. Have you checked your engine mounts?

After more trial, it seems the throttle is OK, but the car resonates in any gear around 50-60km/h. Weird :S

That's definitely not normal. What year model is it? Shouldn't be getting vibrations like you describe.
