May be a stupid question but the manual doesn't say one way or another. Can
you shift from Drive (D) to Sport (S) whilst moving on the multitronic box?
Thanks

 

There is no Sport mode on multitronic. You can shift from multitronic to
tiptronic mode at any time and vice versa, but you'll never want to use
tiptronic once you get used to multitronic.

I believe the new multitronics ( > 2003) have a "Sport" mode.

I agree with that, the Multitronic has spoilt it for me. My 1.8T pulls like
a train and the box is smoother than my dads new Jag XJ8

Well my 2003 A4 multitronic has a sport mode. It's the last position on the
selector after drive. So, anybody know whether you can move from D to S
whilst in motion?

Thanks

 

Why don't you try? It won't cause any damage because the electronics won't
allow you to...

I guess that's my concern - will it cause any damage?

 

Basic Rule of thumb would be to try and shift it without depressing the
button

They would have built in that a gate to stop you from selecting the wrong
gear like from D to N
