More issues.. can you help diagnose?
I seem to be experiencing several problems that come from a combination of threads on this board. I have a 2003 Cayenne S.
I posted recently about losing my #6 cylinder (was misfiring). The coil went bad and was replaced. As soon as I left the dealer the car just did not feel right.
Here are some of the things I am experiencing
1. When I back off the gas, it really drops back hard with a feeling like it is "stepping" back to the gear it is trying to find. Not a quality down shift, but more like a several step hesitation. The car also is seeing a tendency to drop into really low RPMs while driving at low speeds (like sub 1500) in higher gears.
2. At low RPMs I feel like the car is kind of misfiring, but not fully missing. I do not feel the hesitation at highways speeds, only at low speed. It feels similar to the descriptions other members have given in the "slight hesitation at low speeds" thread. I only had the #6 coil replaced, not all of them. I"m not actually sure if the inspected any of the other ones.
3. An actual hesitation when I step on the gas full throttle from dead stop. sometimes it can actually take a noticeable amount of time.
A couple of other notes. At highway speeds, the car seems to act fine. I don't see any apparent loss of power like when the car was actually misfiring. I've done everything I can to try and separate road feel from engine/tranny issues.
I'm going to try and make an appointment to take my car back in next week and was hoping to get a list of the appropriate service bulletins I should reference and possibly where I can download them from.

I think they should have replaced them all and cannot understand why they did not, your did have the bad ones from the factory. What your describing is the same as the other thread in my opinion.
Until thats sorted I would not try to get the others stuff looked at as it will be masking.
