How to troubleshoot engine hesitation in Audi 80?

I've been experiencing engine hesitation in my Audi 80. It happens mainly when accelerating from a stop or in lower gears. Sometimes it's worse when the engine is cold. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

Hi Matt, engine hesitation in an Audi 80 can indicate a few different issues. The first thing to check is your spark plugs and wires. Worn out or faulty spark plugs can cause engine hesitation. If those are fine, then it could be a problem with the fuel system, such as clogged fuel filters or a faulty fuel pump. I would also suggest getting your fuel injectors cleaned. If none of these solve the issue, it could be an engine compression problem. I recommend taking your car to a mechanic for a diagnosis.
