[urq] Freezing TB?

[Louis-Alain Richard]

Don't think so.  Everything was back to normal w/o opening the hood so
it is unlikely it was an electrical glitch.

And RPM was a lot higher than the 1500-ish seen when the AAR is open.

Have you lost power or ground to you auxiliary air regulator?

My question today is not related to diffs: after a long drive in the
snow, (part throttle, not on boost often), I noticed the idle was kind
of high (unintended acceleration again?) at 2500-3000 rpm.  I was doing
less then 50 mph for about an hour. After a coupla WOT acceleration (can
you imagine a Quattro behaving like a snowmobile), problem disappeared.

Could it be that snow entered the intake track and prevented the
throttle to close completely? How come this could be since there is an
air filter, an intercooler, a turbo before the TB?
