I'm looking at a 2013-15 3.0 BiTDi or TDi A6. I'm in New Zealand, so we get imports form Japan, Aus & UK, plus NZ New. So we have a real mix of options.

Even the dealers get it wrong, tell me it's an 8 Speed - S-Tronic... Doh, as far as I know TipTronic=8spd, S-Tronic=7spd. I want a TipTronic due to high servicing costs here. Many dealers are out of town and I don't want to drive there and find they were wrong.

How can I ID the trans from the build sticker? This one is a UK import 2103 TDi 3.0 I think the MNB PXD means S-Tronic - Am I correct? Google gives me mixed results. If so what is the code for a basic Tiptronic?

I've put all the codes into Plant-VAG but the MNB and PXD give me nothing. It also has a HUD which isn't on the build sticker.

Thx

On mine, it is gearbox NGR, on the engine line (you have code PXD there), and on 4th line starting with F0A I have PR code 0G7 = Tiptronic (same as you there). I know mine is older 8sp tiptronic.

BTW, put it in Manual mode and drive it, watch the gear display to see how many.

Thanks, it's funny the build stickers don't seem to be overly accurate for features. One I drove has a HUD but it's not listed in the build sheet.

I need to do the drive in manual test , but most of what I have reads suggests the PXD means 7 speed.

I found this on a VAG sheet, I assume 0G8 menas S-Tronic (DSG)

Sorry I cannot find an edit. That posted nicely then corrupted as I hit the post button. What it shoudl say was

I need to do the drive in manual test , but most of what I have reads suggests the PXD means 7 speed.

I found this on a VAG sheet, 0G8 = Semi-AutoMatic . So I assume that means S-Tronic (DSG)
