Question 1

What is the difference between S tronic and tiptronic on an Audi?

Accepted Answer

S tronic is Audi's dual-clutch gearbox, quick and efficient; tiptronic is a torque-converter automatic, smoother at low speed and suited to big engines and towing. Large SUVs such as the Q7 and Q8 use tiptronic.

Question 2

Should I avoid a used Audi with the multitronic gearbox?

Accepted Answer

Not always, but take care: the multitronic CVT of older front-wheel-drive A4 and A6 models is known for costly failures at high mileage. Look for a smooth pull-away with no judder and records of its oil changes.

Question 3

What should I check on a used Audi S tronic?

Accepted Answer

That the gearbox oil was changed on schedule, and that the car pulls away and reverses cleanly from cold. Hesitation or jerks can mean worn clutches or a faulty mechatronic unit.

Question 4

Is every new Audi an automatic?

Accepted Answer

Almost: only some A3 versions, with the 116 or 150 PS TFSI or the 116 PS TDI, still come with a manual. Every other new Audi has S tronic, tiptronic or, on the e-tron models, a single-speed drive.
