Everytime i use tiptronic in my 98 1.8T and i shift from 3rd to 4th gear while hard on the gas it will shift back into 3rd and redline the RPM.
any reason why it does this?
And will a Tip chip fix this problem?

 

any ideas?

 

learn about the kickback system i think it is.. there's a button under your pedal that releases everything your car has.. if you are using your car tiptronically, and you floor it in 4th gear, it will downshift to make your car as fast as possible.. it's in the manual.. i think it's called kickback system.. or kicker system? something with kick..

 

release everything i have?
sorry i dont understand

 

release potential rpms that your losing in higher gear by kicking it down. All tiptronics do it and its annoying as ****.

 

get a 5-speed

 

If you have vag com you can program it so that the kickdown is disabled in tip mode. I did it on mine.

 

I can't stand the tip on my car.

 

kick DOWN is that it? haha i don't know much about it nor care

 

what the vag code for that ?

I know u hate me , but you could hook me up
