caveman Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 just picked up my A8 yesterday question..is first gear supposed to shift at 2500 rpm???even with triptronic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A8_Tony Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Nope, with tip it should get close to 6500 (4.2 does) At 2.5k, it's changing way too early. It will change if in Drive mode, because the tiptronic box does shift quite low down in the rev range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I do feel able to comment here as I had the same experience with my chainsaw. Simply remove the anti-kick back device. You just need to pull the lever which is under the handle. It should make an audible click. Notice how it loses it's stiffness? Don't worry. This now will enable you remove the chain cover. Once the chain cover is off you'll be able to see a couple of 13mm nuts halfway down the middle of the blade. You'll need to loosen these - in fact remove them all together. Don't forget to put the nuts in a safe place, preferably a small tin can or such. Now gently pull the blade away from the gear wheel. That should fix it. Let me know how you get on please.

[/ QUOTE ] Erm I'm wi'Chri5 on this one Isnt there a couple of things I've read about setting the shift patterns on these g/boxes. 1) VAG.com 2)summit like switching stuff on or off for x-amount of time (summit similar to resetting the leccy windows? ) Someone help me out here! Did you buy it from a stealer? The Audi UK site says: Parts covered for cars over 4 years of any mileage: Gearbox (Automatic or manual): All internal parts, gear selection linkages and ECU's; automatic selection switchgear; reverse light switch.

SneakyMcC Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 When I said a stealer I ment Offical Audi. I'd write to the finance co. and tell that you are considering returning the vehicle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Hi Caveman! Get the trannie juice changed ASAP. With new juice in it, it will be MUCH better. Whenever I buy a new car - irreleavent of mileage - I get teh trannie juice changed FIRST all the time. )I only buy autos too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] warranties, they'll trace the fault back to a washer that failed and give you 40p to replace it, I don't think they're going to give you a £6000 transmission on day 1 of your warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
