As part of my fleet reduction process I'm going to buy an A3 Quattro Petrol version. Just wondering if the Stronic box likes towing and any tips you can offer.
I'd be inclined to stick it in manual mode so you have better control over what gear it is in and also it will help with engine braking downhill too.
It won't do that in manual mode?
Ah I get you now. I tried D for a few months and found that it would nearly always be in too high a gear i.e. off boost so when I needed to overtake, so I would have to engage kick down and instead of dropping down to 4th or 3rd if I was in M it would pick 2nd and rev the nuts off it for a split second, hit the rev limiter and change up because technically that was the lowest possible gear available for maximum acceleration (fecking computers!).
