Just started having an issue similar to this (D5 AWD Geartronic). On start up the car does not pull at all,t eh car has to build up and I have to mash the accelerator. There comes a point where the car kicks down and then all is happy again. At first I thought it was the gears (geartronic), tried using it in manual mode but no luck.

Theres no warning lights, to me it seems the turbo fails to spool up as theres massive turbo lag. Then for what ever reason, when I have left the accelerator, the car seems to spool up and power away (quite dengerous first time this happened, but luckily no cars ahead).

So once I can get what I assume is the turbo to spool up or the car starts pulling away, all is well the accelerator and the engine responds as per normal.

Can anyone who have had this problem confirm if the replacement temp sensors resolves the issue?
I am going to book my car to the dealer to have a look.
