RS6 C7 2015 Low revs

Post by markjones59 » Tue Sep 12, 2017 11:23 am

I have a 2015 RS6 C7 (not Performance) . Whilst cruising at low revs (between 1500 and 2000) I get an occasional "hiccup " from the transmission . I have no warning lights and it has recently been serviced. Does anyone else suffer with this ?

That makes sense but everything I have read says that you cannot hear or feel it - do I have an issue or is this a general thing ?

You can occasionally feel it reactivating at low revs irrespective of what Audi say

That "hiccup" made me crazy and thats why i deactivated the 4-cyl modus. Saving petrol in 4-cyl? I dont think so! Last trip was was 31 mpg (UK) at family cruising speed 60 mph average .

Select the Efficiency Program in the display cluster and scroll to the instant MPG gauge. It goes green when in 4 cylinder mode. See if it goes green when you get the hiccup.

I'm curious as to whether that was an average for your whole trip of 31mpg and, if so, how many miles was this family cruising trip? Also, what sort of lifetime average mpg are you achieving, if you don't mind telling?

Trip was approx 250 miles (400 km). Average so far is 22 mpg after 6 000 miles.

Is the occasional hiccup a "feature" of the Performance models ?
I don't recall noticing it when i had a preFL car.
