After Seafoam, 1.8T stumble

Well day two and no problems, and still running the K&N. I'll do a little experiment to see how long it takes for the problem to reappear, if at all. But cleaning the MAF did make the problem go away.

Oh well I must be the luckiest ************ in the world......

Good for you. And you haven't tried the Amsoil filter, either.

Why fix what ant broken?
It's not a problem that you stick to your paper filters in you stock Audi, just don't go running your mouth. Your quick to jump on the wagon and bash a product that I'm certain you have never used on your audi. Hearsay gets blow out of perspective to the point where posts get made like yours.
Point is that 99.9% of the time it's OVER OILING during time of recharge that causes issues not the filter it's self.

I've used K&N products multiple times and have had problems with the oil with a brand new filter that I didn't have to oil. Happened with the one in my G8 multiple times. There's no reason to deal with that crap.

I'd say it is more likely that I got the MAF filter dirty when I installed the K&N rather than the K&N causing any problems at all. It was brand new, I didn't need to oil it, and I've used K&N's before.
I have seen the Amsoil filter and I wasn't that impressed. The dealer's entire argument was that the K&N flowed to well and was going to let dirt into my car's intake.
The problem hasn't returned since I cleaned the MAF. Still amazed that it made the car act that strangely at random times. It's possible I just got a small spec of dirt in there. Who knows.
End of discussion.
