Winner or Loser?
 

I've bought about one month ago Audi A6 2.4 V6 2001. They told me,
that the car contain Tiptronic gearbox but they sold me with
Multitronic. Am I winner or loser?

Re: Winner or Loser?
 

The Multitronic was introduced after the Tiptronic, so it's the newer
version of a similar thing.

I guess that depends on whether you get on okay with it. The Multi
should provide better performance and fuel economy than the Tip, but
many people find the Multi's initial delay on a standing start to be
rather annoying.

A completely different thing, actually. Tiptronic is a conventional
torque-converter automatic transmission, Multitronic is a CVT. Me, I'd
take the CVT.

Me, too. It doesn't rob as much power off the engine as a conventional
automatic does, and it also gets fuel economy as good as a manual.

Cheers,

Wasnt the Multitronic fitted to FWD models, and Tiptronic fitted to quattro,
that was my understanding, its also why the 0-60 speeds are slightly higher
for the tip, as its 4wd and hence heavier.
