Hi all,
I have had my s4 avant tip for a few days now, and i have a couple of questions!
When driving normally in D, around 30-40mph, it seems to stay in 4th gear until i speed up a little, but then only really changes up from 5th as speed increases. If i am cruising along at around 30 and let off the throttle, it doesnt change up. I read in the manual that it would change up through the gears fairly quickly (unless using kickdown) for economy. A friend of mine has a B6 S4 tip and his doesnt seem to "hang" in 4th at low speeds.
And, when pulling up to a junction, it doesnt drop down into first to pull out, it stays in 2nd, unless i accelerate a little quickly, and then it kind of jerks down into first almost instantly, and then im away. Its not a problem as such, just seemed a bit odd!
Is this normal behaviour with the tip tronics?
As i say, my buddy who (i thought) had exactly the same engine and gearbox doesnt have these issues(?).
Have they modified any gearbox softwares for the b7 from the b6?
Any help much appreciated before i go back to the dealer.
