Hi. I ended up buying an 2.0lt A6 S line Automatic!
Quick question... recently I parked on a slight downward slope. When I tried to reverse, it felt like the car did not have the power to reverse and the only way out of it was to move slightly forward and then go back into reverse.
I have it set to drive in economy mode. Is this the problem??
Was your 'hill hold' function activated?
Mine has plenty of power to reverse even when faced with an incline but you'll need to use the accelerator, not just let the car creep in gear. Any obstacle like a bump or an incline will need accelerator to clear, in forwards and reverse.
Was the electric parking brake/auto hold engaged when you reversed?
Also, I wouldn't leave it in economy mode all the time. It reduces acceleration hugely for a fairly minimal fuel consumption gain. I have it too and never use it any more, messed around with it at the start. I prefer the dynamic mode to the normal one too, makes car much livelier.
I have tested the same journey in economy, normal drive and dynamic and the consumption figures were so close it could be accounted for by engine temp, stopping at an extra set of lights, having to brake a little bit more......I have never tried to reverse on an incline using economy mode I will admit so it may be your problem.
It's a 190bhp car there should be plenty of power although I'm not sure if bhp and torque figures are relevant in reverse gear or not.
No.
Thanks. I'll try it again sometime in dynamic mode and see what happens.
You should really just leave auto hold on.
Look up honest John ( great honest review’s)
One of the YouTube channels had an A3.
He was doing a long journey from somwhere in the South of England to Edinburgh and back a few days later.
He decided to drive in 'Economy' mode one way and a mixture of the rest on the way back. I think it was an S3. The difference in fuel economy between the two? As you pointed out...negligible!
Just a much more boring drive in economy!
Low power in reverse is a tell tale sign of a failing auto box on the Audis,
Speaking from experience. 😭
Would that be covered by warranty?
Depends on your warranty, I successfully returned a A6 allroad last year to a dealer.
I was quoted 1500-5000 from a trusted gearbox specialist to fix, could be clutches, could be mecatronic (or its harness)
