Hello

We have just been lucky enough to be given a 2000 Audi A6 2.7 Estate by the in laws which will become our new family ferry.
it is a fairly low mileage @ 88k, an automatic and in very good condition, but it does have one issue; when the car is started from cold and you select drive it really wants to pull away to the extent you need to put quite a lot of pressure on the brake peddle to stop it, after a minute or two of running though it stops and returns to what you would expect from an auto, the urge to go and happy to crawl along but easily stoppable by light pressure to the brake peddle, the fault only happens for a minute or two and only when cold?

Can anyone offer any explanation??

If it was out of gear during this initial start is the idle speed high?
It may just be the cold start idle speed needs bringing down.
