I put a bunch of miles on my 1.4T this weekend on Labor Day vacation. But I have noticed at take off from a dead stop it chugs a little bit, almost like the front end is vibrating. Kinda like if I took the traction control off and just mashed it, the front end kinda goes loose. I only have like 1500 miles on my Eco and it is bothering me that I go to take off and I can feel it in the front end.

Anyone else experience something similar?

Ahh, now that I think of it the A/C was on since I was doing mostly highway driving. I will have to notice it next time its on and I will also try 91 octane. I think that will help a lot too.

Thanks for the responses!!!!
