RE: Attention all Tiptronic drivers!
I have had this problem for over a year - not that I am happy others are experiencing this, but it is good that I am not the only one experiencing this - I am not crazy! I have tried the snub (APR) and I have had my trany fluid checked - level good. These had not affect. It only seems to occur (when I am in D or M - Tip mode) when I have my foot on the brake. If it downshifts from 2 to 1 w/o foot on break it is smooth as a babys but. If anyone has any insight or fix I am definately interested. 2002 A4 1.8TQ w/30k.

RE: Attention all Tiptronic drivers!
its just the car down shifting att he lowest point befor it will let the engine stall
and that surge is normal when u down shift on a stick you will feel the car stop a lil or slow down

RE: Attention all Tiptronic drivers!
Im going to get the timing belt kit with the pump and all that crap before winter.. Is it easier to change the snub mount with the bumper off for the tip? Ive heard that apr's snub is sort of harsh? I know there's been postings about this but honestly im a lazy ******, sorry.

RE: Attention all Tiptronic drivers!
I never noticed what you are describing. I have a 99.5 with tiptronic. According to the Ross-Tech site, the tiptronic was recoded using a "new" shifting with the 2000 model year. However, with a VAG-COM you can recode your tip to shift differently. Here is from the Ross-Tech website:
02-Auto Trans : -- KWP-1281
VAG-COM works fine
Recoding Tiptronic:
In the newer cars, there are coding options for "Old" vs "New" "Tiptronic strategy". The "New" stategy (introduced in 2000 I think) is much more "automatic" than the old. To get the "Old Tiptronic strategy" where it won't downshift unless you come to a complete stop, I believe you have to change the coding in the following manner:
[Select]
[02 - Auto Trans]
[Recode - 07]
Enter the coding below
[Do It!]
Write down the original coding for future reference.
Look at the fourth digit in the coding (Cylinders):
0 or 1 - "New-style Tiptronic"
2 - "Old-style Tiptronic"
Look at the fifth digit in the coding (Market version):
1 - "Rest of world, quattro"
2 - "USA, quattro"
3 - "Rest of world, FronTrak"
4 - "USA, FronTrak"
So, for a USA model A4 quattro, if the original coding is 00002, and you want to change to the "Old-style Tiptronic" strategy, change the coding to 00022.
PS: As always, you play with stuff like this at your own risk. The "old" strategy is documented by VW only for "testing" and they explictly say that the car should be recoded the way it was before giving it back to the customer.
