So NPuter....I love u man! Do I get your Bud Light? OK, so I hope no one thinks I've lost my marbles, but I did this mod on my 2009 A4, 3.2 V6 Auto. Let me tell you, WOW! Not only throttle repsonse improves significantly but the rpm's rev higher, shifts are quicker, and the steering is definitely tight! I wish I could have timed the car before & after - it's much quicker!!!
Even in Automatic mode (now "S" mode!) it even downshifts when I apply the brake and the revs go up, kind of cool!!! The only (slightly) down side to all of this....I easily cruise in the city in 6th gear, even going like 45 mph! Now, the car never wants to leave S4 with around 3-4k rpm. Even on the interstate I was mostly in S5 and it took over 70, close to 80 for it to drop into S6! There goes my MPGs!!! Thanks a lot NPuter! HA! Kidding. I guess I could manually make the tranny go into 5 and 6. But is there something I'm missing? I chose (3, Dynamic) for Channels 63-66. Is this the "Sport," option. What does 1. Comfort and 2. Auto do?
Thanks again NPuter - I never saw this post before. When my wife & I come to Miami area for our next trip we'd like to buy you some drinks!
