Hi all
Not being mechanically minded please be gentle with me as I explain our problem in basic terms! Last Autumn we bought a 2002 Audi Diesel Automatic 2.5 V6 which has been great up to now. We recently went to Italy and France, a total of 2,700 miles, mostly on motorway. On one occasion we did have to ask the car to work but not for long.
We tow a Lunar 524 and our weight ratio is 84% according to whattowcar. but 74% when we took the outfit to a weighbridge.
The day after our steep drive, the car 'shuddered' slightly when first moving off and it has done so ever since. The car has been computer tested briefly which suggests it could be something to do with the multitronic gearbox. The question is what is the difference between multitronic and tiptronic and its suitability for towing. Tomorrow we are getting a second opinion as at the moment it looks an expensive problem, and also we need to make a decision as to the future of the car.
