You should learn the industry terms I guess!

Front trak = Front wheel drive = Greater front traction control then on rear wheels

CVT is not the only tranny that comes in "Front wheel drive" with Audi

and CVT has nothing to do with front wheel drive.......

Hmm, 2004 A4 3.0Q 6 speed manual. In town 370km/tank. But i drive it like Mario Andretti is chasing me. Not great mileage, but given my driving habits, I'm not complaining. When I behave myself, the mileage behaves too...

People who like to track their car get fronttrash. You get a lot more power to two wheels then you would four.

put the key and put it into the position just before the starter turns (do not start the car) push the gas peddle all the way wait 3 seconds and turn the key all the way back but do not take it out, now release the gas peddle and wait 2 minutes! remove key than put it back in and start the car! you should notice a better response while pressing the gas do this once every few weeks!
I tried this today and I could feel a significant difference, i think i am going to do it every two weeks.
Thanks 1move
