Default Audi s8 5.2 v10 accelerates on its own

The car has had the limiters taken off but idk if that has anything to do with it just wanting to take off even after you release the accelerator after putting the pedal to the metal.


There's really not much to it apart from that. I haven't seen a single other person with this problem. Kinda feels like the cruise control is setting its self really high somehow but the cruise control light isn't on. Changing it from sport to drive or the other way around doesn't change anything it happens it both modes. After this happens if you park up and rev the engine above 4k it just bounces from around 4100 to 4300.


Is the car just freaking out because the limiters haven't been removed properly or what?

Post up a VCDS scan or it’s just a game of pin the tail on the donkey.

This sounds like a large intake leak.
