Question
hi there my audi a3 2.0 fsi is losing power mainly when i am on the motorway doing around 70 to 80mph, but then finding the power again after about 5 seconds and kicking back in?? any ideas ill be very grateful thanks gareth.

Answer
This could be a throttle position sensor (TPS) or mass airflow sensor (MAF) problem.  Unless you have a problem with a fuel pump.  I would get the fuel pressure checked, and then check/clean the TPS, and if the problem persists, replace the MAF.  Let me knw what you find,  Jan
