I have the tip S4 and in 'S' mode it will change gear itself. In sequential mode + - it doesn't. Completely manual other than changing down for example if I'm in 6th and stop at a junction it will go down through the gears.
I am looking at a remap from MRC for the gearbox which I believe...
Why should an 'S' have a manual box? Are you saying the RS6 isn't a great car to drive with a Tiptronic box? I sort of know what you mean about manually changing gears but you can do that in sequential mode on the auto, just no leg ache from a heavy clutch.
Owned my B6 S4 since Spetember '08 and I have to say in comparisson to my old remapped B5 S4 (330bhp) I'm not keen. Yes the V8 sounds fantastic but there's only so much you do do it to achieve minimal perfomance gains. EG: I paid around £1k to get my B5 custom mapped with a few other mods which...
Bubstar,
Puts it in perspective I think when apart from MRC none of the other tuners mentioned on this thread are on this list. Also is QST the same as Kim Collins? If so I think Minhea at MRC does his tuning on Porsche & VAG.
Personally I'd rather have a remap done on my own car than 'a...
Sorry Carl,
How is your's tried and tested for longevity? Do your guys drive around in my car for weeks? I'm only talking from my personal experience and prior to your trial chip had just serviced the car and had it on VAG so nothing wrong with the car. Don't get me wrong, the car pulled very...
Wow,
Personally I wouldn't want anything that a dealer can install and walk away from like Revo (no offence). My B5 S4 was custom remapped by MRC and it was absolutely fantastic. Because it's not a generic chip it's bespoke to your car and not the average S4. I wasn't looking for dirt on MRC...
This is what he just told me:
Apparently they're changing the entire quattro / transmission system for me... I'm not entirely sure what is exactly wrong, but when manoeuvring at slow speed using the steering the car jumps rather than moving. Its really weird. Apparently it is a common fault on...
Sorry guys,
Still under warranty so no costs other than the new tyres. Just seem weird that if your tyres aren't exactly the same tread depth the quottro system and suspension play havoc.
Hi All,
A friend of mine has a B6/B7 S4 saloon and has been having trouble with Quattro and his suspension. He's taken it into Audi and they claim it's because his tyre tread is not the same depth front & back? What a load of crap surely?? They have refused to do any work on the car until he...
Cheers guys,
I put Eibach springs on my old B5 and it looked fantastic but didn't handle that great.
I may get the springs and then dampers at a later stage.
