IT_S8 Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I've figured out why my 'old' A8 was so sluggish. It has no kick down. It doesn't matter how hard you press, it doesn't do it (other than natural move through the gears through modest acceleration, hills etc), and more interestingly, at full 'throttle' you can move to tiptronic and move down gears manually, proving that the rev range isn't the issue - So why ?? I dont even know if kick down is mechanical or electrical? Anyone any ideas? The car is just sat on my drive expiring tax and growing old whilst I figure out what to do with it, and now I've sussed this, I'd like to fix it because its bugging me..
