Hey, I just got an 2000 Audi A4 and was wondering what the controls on the steering wheel are for, the + and - on the right and left.........I pressed em but nothing happening....thanks..

 

for the tiptronic mod put it in tiptronic mod and you can use this to shift up or down

 

woah woah, so you are saying I have manual and automatic? LMFAO! I didn't even know that. Imma try that out....damn thanks for that reply bro.....I thought they were for volume control lol......now i know ...what gear do i put it in to use that feature?.....thanks....

 

LMFAO!
I thought the tip was noob proof!
Slide the gear shifter into the notch on the far right.

 

what are you talkin about far right? I don't have that, it only goes straight up or down...be more specific as to what the letter is.....

 

your car has a tiptronic feature when you are in drive you slide it to the right and then you can either use the shifter to go up or down or use the buttons to shift up and down

 

That is the way it works. Allows you to manually change the gears, and over-ride the auto features.

 

its not even close to a manual
u cant stall and the car will shift when u red line
it will never let u under shift or over shift
soon u will realize how slow shifting is on that tranny
its still an auto matic

 

K guys, I tried it out.... Works Great....that baby flies......and what you talkin about slow shiftin, it shifts very fast and smooth....at least mine does i don't know about yours.....lol.....anyways thanks fellas, if yall hadn't told me i had that, i wouldve never knew

 

hey dezithug,

enjoy your new discovery about tiptronic.

i have an 02 a4 with tiptronic and absolutely love it.

a lot of people will rail on us for not having a manual, but honestly the tiptronic is really fun and more than responsive enough for me.

tiptronic is really convenient though, because if you live in high traffic areas, like new york, as i do, it is priceless to be able to shift between auto and tiptronic.

there is also something now called dsg (a more responsive version of "semi-manual" like tiptronic) i see little reason i would ever want to hassle with a manual transmission in my daily driving car.

enjoy your audi man. these cars are fun as hell to drive.
