Allroad Perfomance
Hi All
Just got an Allroad today.
Having driven diesels fro 20+ years, I am surprised by the lack of
grunt at less than 2200 rpm. After that it flys.
Is this normal for the 2.5 tdi? It is a bit like a petrol at these low
revs. Should I drive it like a petrol and forget the concept of low
end torque?
Or have I got a problem?
Also I never seem to be in the right gear. Will I need to re-learn a
6 speed box?. So far I have only done 200 miles.
Any tips from existing owners to help the transitions.

Take a look on www.audi-sport.net. The low rev performance of the V6 TDi is
known to be poor but it shouldn't last until 2200rpm. You should probably
get the car checked for error codes and then take it from there.
A remap will improve performance but don't do that until the car is working
properly in standard form.

Cheers Dave.
I am going to join the Audi Sports Forum. I see there is a lively
discussion there about Biodiesel, of which I know quite a lot about,
navin made it for the last year, and run MY 406 2.1TD on it.

Is this a new car with a V6 or a straight 5?
