I don't know if it's 'normal' but mine does it too.

 

Mine does it only when it's going to stop/start

 

my old one would do it occationally.

 

yes this rise in rpm is programmed into the ECU to lessen the clutch vibration which can be felt from low rpm's on the 3.0tdi.
It was a modification the audi done in the Software

 

thanks ! that's reassuring to know ..

 

yeah mine does it, i think its a way of the car telling me i should rev higher and drive faster ....

 

Mine's always done it too, but I was lead to believe it's an anti-stall feature? It does it when pulling away too (with no throttle applied).

With older cars you're supposed to rev-match when changing down a gear. Newer cars do this automatically. Might be related

 

i have the 2.0T engine and mine does it too and i thinks it's for making the engine harder to kill for beginers , it helps you if you haven't accelerated your car yet to move on quicker ...

I tried to start only from clutch in 1st gear and it moves really quick

 

Mine does this occasionally (2012 1.8TFSI) - seems pretty random. Note that the original question mentioned that it did it when in neutral - so I don't think this relates to reducing clutch judder or anti-stall. In fact, when in neutral, I can't really see what the point of it is at all?

 

Pretty sure that is the anti-stall feature. It doesn’t actually stop you stalling the car mind as I stalled mine once (mind you it was on a slight incline and on graval)!!!

 

I've stalled a number of times reversing onto my driveway - definitely needs my foot on the accelerator far more than the TDI ever did. That said, I'm pretty well re-tuned to the TFSI now.

 

Strange as I found that I stalled my car a few times when I first got it. I even stalled it coming onto my drive between the electric gates I shat myself as I knew that the gates where due to close. Even with the safety stop they still would have made a mess.

 

Mine's really easy to stall too... I am no mechanic but I wonder if the newer engines have tiny flywheels to help with efficiency? It's like on tickover, it's got virtually nothing behind it.

Mine also 'blips' a little as soon as you touch the gas pedal when in neutral or clutch not engaged.. it actually makes the car rock slightly! It's like it is programmed to deliver a little extra grunt in order to move off... In other words anti-stall I guess.

Being a 1.8TFSI, maybe this is more pronounced on mine as it is a relatively weedy engine compared with the bigger units!

Anyways - it's no big deal... I've learn't how not to stall it now!

 

My understanding is tht it's not anti-stall, it's to protect the dual mass flywheel fromthe vibrations of moving off on the idle.

I have stalled mine a few times getting out for gates and not doing up my seat belt afterwards - when the driver seatbelt is unbuckled, the auto release on the parking brake is not working
