Potential Purchase

[Vorsprung_Durch_Technik]

Afternoon ladies and gents

I was after a bit of advice. I currently have a B6 S4 Avant Tiptronic, and am considering replacing with An A6 3.0 TDI Avant Le Mans Tiptronic.

I was wondering though, does the 3.0 TDI come with the Multitronic or Tiptronic box? I am trying to stay away from multitronic!!

Also if there are any known issues to look out for. I've hunted around the internet, but I haven't found much if anything to look out for. the B6 S4 has 'traits' like rattling chain tensioners, Aux Radiators etc, but for the A6 3.0 I haven't found much.

Any advice or comments greatly appreciated

3.0TDi are Trippies. All quattro motors use Trippy rather than multispastic

Oh right, awesome thanks for the reply. I looked at a 3.2 Quattro A4 before biting the bullet and going all V8, and the sales guy said it had a multitronic box in it. I ran away!!!

Wander if the salesman got his facts wrong on the 3.2 A4. The only multispastic 3.2s were the FWD ones;

3.2 FSI Petrol 0-60 Top Speed BHP
3.2 FSI 4d Multitronic 6.6 s 155 mph 252 bhp (more info)
3.2 FSI SE 4d Multitronic 6.6 s 155 mph 252 bhp (more info)
3.2 FSI S Line 4d Multitronic 6.6 s 155 mph 252 bhp (more info)
3.2 FSI quattro 4d 6.2 s 155 mph 252 bhp (more info)
3.2 FSI quattro 4d Tip Auto 6.7 s 155 mph 252 bhp (more info)
3.2 FSI quattro SE 4d 6.2 s 155 mph 252 bhp (more info)
3.2 FSI quattro SE 4d Tip Auto 6.7 s 155 mph 252 bhp (more info)
3.2 FSI quattro S Line 4d 6.2 s 155 mph 252 bhp (more info)

I don't know why people have a problem with the Multitronic. I have just sold my 1.9 multi for a 2.7Q tiptronic and new car is fantastic, but gearchanges definitley not as smooth as multitronic.

Because a vast majority broke. To the extent that Audi had to change the design and replace a LOT under warrenty.
