So I'm on holiday this week and where we are staying is on a hill which i have to reverse up every morning to get out of the drive.
I've noticed I have to give it quite a lot of throttle in reverse to get the car moving. This is different to my old A4 multitronic which seemed a lot more easy to get moving.

Just wondering if this is normal for this box???

Thanks

Yup, I have to reverse off the Father in laws drive backwards, it needs a good jab to get moving

It's normal, the throttle has been mapped differently when you are in reverse to be less responsive. Probably a safety feature when you have over 300bhp! lol
