    Audi A7/A6 C8 50 tdi torque/gearbox software update

    RAF_S7, I have driven an S7 a few years back as a test drive and it was a beautiful experience. Tech doesn't matter much, it is how the car drives and makes you feel. Enjoy your car, it is better than the new one.

    Audi A7/A6 C8 50 tdi torque/gearbox software update

    Had a long drive (400miles ) today. The sport mode of the gearbox does change to next gear too soon to my liking. There is no big difference between the D and the S.

    Audi A7/A6 C8 50 tdi torque/gearbox software update

    We all know the horrible torque issue with the 50 tdi from Audi. It is dangerous on entering a roundabout and exiting a junction. Luckily I have received a call from Audi to bring the car to the dealership for a software update, that will resolves this issue. I can't wait to update you guys...

    Why Ceramic coating is important for a new car

    Beautiful. Mirror like. How do you like the s-tronic gearbox? My tiptronic gearbox is both good and bad. Good for very smooth automatic upshifting, but very sluggish automatic downshifting.
