MY B5 was totaled about 3 weeks ago so i bought a 2003 Audi a4 1.8t in amulet red. The downside is that it is a tiptronic.

I have a question about the Tiptronic. When the car is very cold (in the morning) it dose a wierd thing when shifting from 3rd to 4th and 2nd to 3rd. The transmission will shift aroung 4000 rpm then the rpms drop around 500rpms and hesitate for a split second (It feels like it shifts again) and then fall normally. Is this normal? after around 5-10 mins of driving this goes away[/align]__________________

The tiptronic transmission shifts @ 4k. when cold in an effort to warm up the motor faster. As far as the stumble or studder, I am not sure about that..

 

4k is just an example

 

Did you warm up the car first before you drive it?

 

i would bet that its just the car warming up...

 

i let it warm up for 4-5 mins and it goes away after like 5-7 mins of driving

 

So it shifts at 4k then drops down to 3500, shifts again and rpms falls to around 1500-2500? As long as theres no stuttering it sounds normal.

 

no it dose not shift at 3500rpm it just hesitates
