Question 1

Is the multitronic gearbox in the Audi A4 reliable?

Accepted Answer

It is the A4's weakest automatic: the chain-driven CVT in front-wheel-drive B8s can judder, slip or fail at higher mileage. On a test drive, feel for shudder when pulling away and ask whether its oil was changed.

Question 2

What should I check on an Audi A4 with S tronic?

Accepted Answer

A smooth take-off, quiet low-speed manoeuvring and proof that the gearbox oil was changed on schedule. Jerks or hesitation can point to worn clutches or a faulty mechatronic unit.

Question 3

Is an automatic Audi A4 quattro different from a front-wheel-drive one?

Accepted Answer

Yes: the multitronic was offered with front-wheel drive only, so B8 quattro automatics had an S tronic or a tiptronic instead. For many buyers that makes a B8 quattro automatic the safer choice.

Question 4

How much road tax does an automatic Audi A4 pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

The tax follows the CO₂ figure and fuel, not the gearbox: CO₂ × 0.6 for petrol or 0.9 for diesel × a band factor that rises with emissions. A TDI therefore pays half as much again as a TFSI with the same CO₂.
