Stuttering Acceleration

Wonder whether anyone has come across this... my 2.0T Auto is 3 years old and with 40000 kms on the clock. Had the ignition coil replaced under 2 months ago, and the mechatronic + software replaced a year ago when mileage was around 30000kms (massive tussle with local agent, car spent best part of 6 months inside the dealer's shop).

Been noticing the car stuttering during acceleration, today it is much more evident when I push the accelerator slightly going from 4-7 gear. During normal throttle (cruising) behaviour is perfectly normal.

Has anyone ever encountered this/ heard about this?

Tomorrow will be calling Q-Auto to see what they can do... she's due for a service anyway. Thanks.

OK, seems the problem is again - wait for it - ignition coils. The problem is apparently known to Audi. I had the car in at the dealers in November with the same problem, where they could only change one coil under warranty as the others had not failed (yet).

Oil consumption on the TFSI due to the turbocharger. I have to add a litre of juice every 3500kms.
