I noticed when driving a A6 multi that it needed 2000rpm before reversing up a not so steep driveway.

When was the fluid last changed?

Dont know - just purchased the car - only has 50,000 miles - just not used to an automatic that uses clutch control . do you think this is ok?

"They all do that Sir".

And they'll do a fair rate on the flat in reverse. The Speedo still works......:confused:

The oil on multitronic gearboxes is recommended to be changed every 40k miles so try checking the service history. when I had mine changed about 4months ago they also updated some software on it. Don't know which one made a difference because they were both done at the same time but it certainly helped. My car is a 60 plate.
