I have the 5 speed automatic with tiptronic box.
But find it is not very good when towing my 1700kg caravan.
If I leave it in 'D' it will search all the time through the gears to try to maintain any motorway speed around 56-60mph.
If I use the tiptronic I am having to watch the speed and the rev counter to maintain any sort of momentum moving between 4 and 5 which is far from ideal.
Then when I try to overtake anything there seems to be no get up and go when I acelerate,
I find I am not consentrating on the road, but rather what the car is doing!!IT WILL DRIVE OK WITHOUT THE VAN ON!!
Does anyone have the same problem as mine??
Or is there a fault with the box??
Or am I doing something wrong.
ANY HELP WOULD BE WELOCOMED, I DONT WANT TO FALL OUT WITH AN OTHERWISE GOOD CAR.
