Tiptronic overuse?
Hello everyone,
I have found that I get better gas mileage on my 2003 A6 3.0L Quattro when I use Tiptronic exclusively when driving in the city. My gas mileage has gone up to 19 mpg from 17 mpg which I used to get when I didn't use Tiptronic.
I have been using Tiptronic now for about 3 weeks. I guess my questions are -
Is there anything called Tiptronic 'overuse' at all? Did Audi design Tiptronic for everyday use or was it designed as just an optional feature not intended to be used full time? Will it cause transmission problems in the future if I contine to use it all the time?
Thanks in advance.

ive never heard of anyone "overusing" their tiptronic. im sure audi techs can tell you if you call a dealership. i'd ask them, see what they say once they are done laughing cuz you'll be on speakerphone

In Auto, the car ishigher gears and you got to push the pedal more to get the resujlts yuo need. In tip, you choose the best gear for each situation, more efficient IMO
