Audi A4 2.0T FSI Multitronic

[wideangle852]

Had a deisel A6. . . was odd the noise until you're used to it but acceleration fabulous . . if you are going to get a deisel get one of those . . . 44mpg from a large estate car . . and 100,000 miles without a hitch

[TheIq888]

Multitronics are awesome. I love mine. 130,000km now and not a single issue.

[RandomnessRICKY]

@TheIq888 My mother has one with multitronic with 100,000 km.

[AetiusPraetorian]

I like my 6sp Manual in my A4 B7 2.0T.

[fofe11]

hola pero la caja de audi es muy buena es la misma que usan la porche y creo q es mas chevere tener esa caja yo no la cambiaria por nada asi que hicieron muy mal para mi opinion

[urbex2007]

Does that have a CVT on it? Wouldn't touch one!!! Absolute rubbish compared to the Ford DCT and VW SKODA DSG gearboxes. Why rev the nuts off the engine continuously...it doesn't make sense to have a gearbox that was invented and used by DAF in the 1950's.

[liamcollister]

@urbex2007 The only good thing about it is that you are running at the absolute peak of the power band constantly, so no drop in power. It's better for drag racing or lawn mowers xD

[alefiad]

no hay nada como tirar los cambios manualmente esa caja dejasela a los viejos pajeros!!!

[emxgarcia]

Yes, sounds like a motorboat.. but hauls ass.

[V6Galaxy]

Bye bye clutch..

[panzerveps]

@V6Galaxy what clutch? never heard of multitronic before?

[daennerful]

eins der vielen lächerlichen dinge, die Audi anbietet

[TheGuyFromBulgaria]

fail

[rushcreek77]

CVT bums me out of my mind

[maxima2k3se]

CVT tranny. U shouldn't feel the shifting either

[MercedesFUN1]

0-100 km/h en 8,1 segundos... no esta mal para un 2.0

[DritfInfantry34]

multitronik is for shit

[georgerelax7302]

how the fuck does this multitronic works??it's amazing how they exchange standard gear with standard rpm....

[tinr5]

audi boat? lol anyway nice car

[szwaglu]

there is no such a thing like kickdown mode..

[sebaclasse]

LA MULTI ET UNE SUPER BOITE J AI FAIT + DE 230000 MIL AVEC UNE A4 DE 2002 D ORIGINE LA PLUS PART DES PANNES NE SONT PAS DU A LA BOITE MES A LA PLATINE ELECTRONIQUE SOUS LE LEVIER DE VITESSE OU DU CALCULATEUR OU DE L HUILE OU DE LA BONBONNE DE PRES FILTRE MES IL NE FAUT PAS LE DIRE AUDI AIME BIEN ESCROQUER CES CLIENTS

[kadamka]

like a scooter... O_o

[puky1103]

why is the rpm meter stuck at 6000 rpm ? but the car still puts on speed lol?

[killer576]

is some kind of CVT shits?

[raptor30v1]

Hola! Pufff! La verdad es que 240.000 Km con un solo cambio de aceite me parece una pasada. Segun el fabricante recomienda que se cambie el aceite cada 60.000 km. Saludos...

[comoyeooh]

Yo conozco un 1.9D 130cv con cambio multitronic y estoy encantado. Sabe que se ha comprado un coche automático, no busca aceleración ni respuesta, busca comodidad y este da mucha comodidad. No notas los cambios de marcha, es como un variador de un scooter, es increíble. He probado otros cambios automáticos y son incómodos de tanto que se nota el cambio de marcha.

Sobre la fiabilidad decir que tiene 240mil km, le han cambiado una vez el aceite del cambio y va GENIAL!! ni un problema.

[CarbineGuy]

I hate CVTs

[vecaa88]

this is not real its a game -.-

[jestilo]

El multitronic de Audi es bastante malo. Yo mismo he tenido la posibilidad de manejarlo muchisimas veces, pero de todas formas no me convence. Empezando por la arrancada que parece como si uno manejara un mecanico y acelerara y se demorara mucho en soltar el embrague. Ademas no me gusta que no tenga cambios, la posicion S, o la de cambios manuales es una mentira porque el carro funciona con poleas que se agrandan o ajustan segun la velocidad, estos cambios solo dan la sensacion.

[coHiba3x]

wow

[Mauchimaza]

por que mantiene siempre el mismo cambio? que poronga

[beautifulmax3]

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ss

[B16power69]

This car runs like shit bro :(

[amnesia891]

multitronic gears shouldn't exist, tiptronic or dsg only

[HONDACOMPAQ]

haha automatic trying too kill the tranny the easy way

[bigroncole666]

something is wrong with your car dude

[egyptionguy]

1 gear ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrAshDeva]

@egyptionguy Multitronic Gearboxs are CVT's... Continous Variable Transmission. Basically, the ratio is not fixed and therefore, the ratio is varied within a set range (this is limited physically by the design). Its not "1 gear". Its the gearbox's ratio continously getting larger. This means that the car is revving at the same speed constantly providing optimum power all the time.

[laHONDAfighter]

nicht schlecht......

[fab069]

muy buena aceleracion ;) no me gusta el sonido de scooter ke te da la cvt multitronic, pero en lo ke prestaciones y economia de combustible se habla, creo que va por encima de la dsg....aparte que la caja de cambio pesa la mitad de la dsg. un saludo! :)

[TheCarista]

put it itno s mode you dumbass!

[terminez]

alcansaste los 100km/h en 2da o en 3ra on en que cambio? y cual es la velocidad maxima?

[fab069]

@terminez la multitronic no tiene marchas, o digamos que es una marcha variable, en aceleracion maxima fija las rpm en el pico max de potencia y por medio de una polea conica, varia la relacion de marcha. CVT = Continous Variable Transmission. Como el de los scooters de 50cc por dar un ejemplo...pero con mucha tecnologia y electronica

[terminez]

@fab069 otra preguntita este audi viene con caja automatica normal de 6 velocidades cierto?

[fab069]

@terminez Viene con la DSG de 6 marchas que seria la semiautomatica con doble embrague, luego la Tiptronic automatica comùn de siempre no recuerdo si 5 o 6vel (casi seguro que es de 6), o con cambio manual de 6 marchas. Saludos!

[Fischer34]

in about 8 seconds

[jetskiface99]

Multitronic is the best. Here is the future.

[rfdsheez]

la caja de cambios CVT ES UNA """MIERDA""" NO SIRVE PARA NADA, DEBERIA TENER SU CAJA REAL DE 6 VELOCIDADES, SENTIR LO GENIAL Q SON SUS CAMBIOS, ES UNA MIERDA ESA CAJA, Y HACE VER MAL AL AUDI A4..........

[vitto]

ni creas..yo manejo el a4 2009 1.8T y en modo confort es bastante ágil y rápido en ciudad. Si quieres puedes deshabilitar el sistema ESP y enganchar en la caja de cambios el modo Sport.

[rfdsheez]

@vitto en cuanto te aceler de 0-100, yo teengo un audi A4 2.0 T del año 2009 y se demora como 5.8 o 6 y algo

[lokasdekartas]

@rfdsheez jaja nene se ve que nunca manejaste uno

[rfdsheez]

manejar que ??? un audi con caja CVT, ME DA EXACTAMENTE LO MISMO!!!

prefiero la caja normal y sentir los cambios, mi audi no posee esa caja de cambios y yo diria que es mucho mejoren mi opinion que la CVT,

[luigioni]

esta no es una CVT, tiene mas tecnologia y 7 velocidades

[raptor30v1]

Hola! Perdon pero no estoy conforme con que la cvt es una mierda. En concreto la multitronic de audi no precisamente es conocida por su fiabilidad (tuvo mucho problemas iniciales de que la marca no recomendaba el cambio del aceite ATF y le añadieron un disco de embrague a mayores de los 6 que tenia) En cuanto a prestaciones, aceleracion creo que no tiene casi nada que envidiar a un DSG. Sencillamente son cajas de cambio completament diferentes asique no se pueden comparar. Saludos...

[gudarihispanico]

@raptor30v1 Gran verdad, de hecho, Audi te las repara pero a los 60.000 Km se rompen. Una pena porque son una delicia de cajas.

No compareis con la DSG porque su función es diferente.

[raptor30v1]

Hola! Si lo que quieres es sentir los cambios el multitronic tambien te permite usar el modo manual o el modo sport. Si sigues mirando en youtube tengo subido otro video en el que puedes ver el mismo coche en modo sport.

[erneeeng]

qué aburrido no?, personalmente me gusta más escuchar el motor con sus cambios de marcha...

[skuibiza]

pufff como a todos, no encuentro nada divertido esa caja

[lokasdekartas]

@erneeeng se escucha cuando estas manejando creeme

[storm982]

cvt = the suck

[fadmaid]

multitronic is audi's evolved CVT

[namsut]

garip bi şanzuman bu cvt. Devir sabit araba hızlanıyor.

[ScuderiaBull]

this was just in 1.-st gear, no cvt

[pkkwok2008]

cvt feels very awkward

[freddy8teen]

its not cvt...

[pkkwok2008]

what is it then?

please do some research before you type.

[pedro19vlc]

as cool yeah favourite thanks

[vondielstrum]

Piece of shit CVT

[asdasdasdasdasdas98]

this is well gd, the efficiency of manual with the ease of automatic

[vitalflow]

fucking cvt

[SuperchargedShaw]

CVT FTL

[TheSheldon038]

Fuck a Legacy GT

[TheSheldon038]

The fact that you misspelled intelligent contradicts your use of sarcasm to to state that i am ignorant! You are a dumbass who needs to proofread.

[TheSheldon038]

Apparently children are :-) atleast children know how to spell! I dont quite like you either,maybe you should stop messaging me. You are the one who confronted me, i was just making a statement but you got your feelings hurt and had to bitch for your beliefs

[TheSkylineShopVancou]

Although its very cool and I'm sure your fuel economy would be amazing, its just so strange I'd never want to see this become mainstream on other cars

[chparedesm]

multitronic es mejor que CVT, utiliza una cadena en lugar de una faja de hule...

[averagejimmy]

very strange to drive at first but you do get used to it

[umpark3]

Oh..CVT...

I never liked.

[axxxelb]

yeah me etheir, to noisy i think

[isusje]

verry good acceleration ;)

[michalino1235]

ale jaja na jedynce 120 kp/h

[nomen90]

to jest skrzynia bezstopniowa... tutaj nie ma jedynki, dwojki itp... poczytaj o tym

[Mareksofik]

Skrzynia typu multitronic, mozna to tlumaczyc jako skrzynia która ma bardzo wiele przelozen bez utraty mocy. Bardzo kosztowna w naprawie i niestety czesto sie psujaca:/

[fabiTDI]

That's genial! :D:D:D:D

Just like a tram :D

Cheers

[dereli86]

Nice motorboat :D

[cipawampira]

Oh my, the sound of the engine + multitronic is so annoying :(

[kempflar]

it's on a test stand, or up the elevator, otherwise it would take off the road

[jeanbanahn]

haha like a snowmobile

[ilovenissan]

i wish there cvt boxe's woulld keep the motor at red kine

[volvo23t]

It makes more power before the redline.

[patrocinios79]

how much torque its capable to resist the multitronic transmission ??

[theannoyingdogpoo]

patrocinios79:

how much torque its capable to resist the multitronic transmission ??

Modern CVTs can withstand much more torque as it was in the past. Lexus gearboxes handle up to 520 Nm. Strongest multitronics used in Audis with 2.7 diesel which produces 400 Nm.

I bet these parameters can be extended if necessary.

[mosquiton001]

not much.. in my opinon CVT's can't withstand that much torque especially in the long terms..

tiptronic are still better and long lasting than CVT.. (in fact the 3.0 TDI and bigger have all DSG and TIptronic trannys)

in future if this system will be made more reliabile it will be the best of both worlds.. (DSG multy clutch and tiptronic) giving the speed of one.. and the fluidity of the other..

;) p.s. I own a 2.0TFSI DSG too (golf GTI) and I love it! nice car!

[theannoyingdogpoo]

I was wrong. Lexus LS 600h has no belt-driven CVT but a planetary set of gears superpositioning torque from the engine and electric motors. That's why it can handle so much torque

Belt CVTs accomodate better than any tiptronic or dsg but always steal a bit more power due to belt friction. And handle less torque

Thus I predict the future of transmissions:

- small cars: Prius-alike gearbox

- large: two-mode hybrid setup or dsg/lockable torque converter automatics for series hybrids

[lfsracer79]

Nice motorboat :-)

[theannoyingdogpoo]

that's what I was going to say

[rexxxy81]

weird i say, i had a 2008 honda jazz loan car that was like that, 7 speed but in auto if you tramped your foot down it stayed at 5500 and accelerated.. bizzar feeling, felt like a riding clutch.. but that where auto trannys are going these days...

[shawtiee1085]

i love cvts. best transmission.

[k8002pack]

I love Multitronic, I have an Audi A4 2.0T too and it's just great

[Yuser00]

I dont understand the reason why the rpm remains constant, as the speed increases?

[zloben9000]

it has NO GEARS, it uses belts and wheels as gears.

the size of the wheels CHANGE !

one wheel gets bigger and the other smaller.

[viktord1]

the 3.0 with multironic gives a much better sound in my opinion. if you buy 2.0t stick with manual or tiptronic

[blazinemc]

i dont like that one bit....screw that.. i like the sound of my exhaust when i flip thru the manual transmission...

[LieGruppeE8]

what the f* is this for an effective transmission? I allways thought, I know a lot from cars, but this is new for me! I know automatic transmissions, manual gearboxes and the great DSG. But a system, which is able to hold the motor at its most effective rpm-range, where maximum torque is emited, is totaly new for me. By the way, the "motorboatsound" as side effect is nasty

[sashaalx03]

i have driven a car with multitronic and its weird, i prefer the regular transmission when driving hard on a twisty country road but this is better on the motorway, anyway great car

[isusje]

like my allroad :)

[Downmaster]

That takes getting used to - a constant engine noise and RPM while accelerating. Good stuff!

[TvWijlre]

we have the same gearboks

[jaggass]

can you have it in fully auto as well?

[stalkerpro1]

how does it works if there are ni shifts?

[Eol1n]

There's an iron chain on 2 variable rollers, as the rollers shift you have continuously variable gears. It's easier to understand if you compare it to bicycle gears, the chain is the same, only thicker, but there are no 18-24 disks on the bicycle pedals and rear wheels, but rollers like 2 plates that come closer to push the chain outwards (big disk on the bicycle) or further apart, to let the chain inwards between them (small disk on the bicycle).

[Eol1n]

Not a very technical explanation, but it's easy to picture in your mind. Please excuse any mistakes, English is not my first language.

[repmatilha]

Does anybody here now anything about a CVT transmission?

I think no...

[carsaregood911]

i can tell you one thing which is they suck!

[SgtH3nry3]

Why is that?

They are faster then regular transmissions, more fuel economic and they last as long as a regular manual gearbox these days.

Way better then a planetary gears auto.

[jhenong]

hw can it posibly a mnual wen it says P R N D on da speedo

[Iridium725]

Thats not a real car. In a real car you should be able to feel the gears shifting, not feel like you're driving a motor boat.

[maxou5757]

This is not a real car ? All German cars are real cars even if its Multitronic

[Iridium725]

But it gets soo annoying..hearing the same sound over and over

[fatkissgoodnight]

Yeah, maybe in a 4 cylinder. A V6 makes more sense with this transimission. 200km/h at 3400rpm. That's the beauty of Multitronic

[Iridium725]

I'd think so

[isusje]

no manual multitronic. but how its not shift up, or shift up but eye cant see thats very fast :). tiptronic is not like multitronic

[koggak]

man ... I hate those cvt tranis

[robicool]

same...well i dont hate them..just wouldnt like to drive one

[lfsracer79]

It really sounds like a motor boat. :-)

[raptor30v1]

Optimiza el motor al maximo por lo tanto es mas rapido que el manual.

[dontaim4myballs]

Is it faster in the drive mode or in the manual mode.

[HeeVindinho]

manual for sure

[Maverick101287]

@ archaeopterix2000

geile Frage, bist ja voll der Noobi, da sieht man das ihr Amis oder was auch immer, von sowas keine Ahnung habt. Hier in Deutschland is das fast schon serie.

[aaarggh]

Lass das mal mit der Überheblichkeit...

[criscros7]

Und wenn Du nicht so ein Noob wärst, könntest Du jemandem, der einen englischen Kommentar hinterlässt, auch auf Englisch antworten.

[raptor30v1]

El ESP engloba el ABS, ASR, etc... o eso creo!

[irbabuin]

ESP or ASR (traction control). Great videos, post more, especially with it in Drive. How does it shit in Manual mode?? Is it fast enough?

[archaeopterix2000]

Awesome. just above 4000 RPM I noticed a yellow light coming on for a fraction of a sec and then it never comes on again even at 6000 RPM. What light was that? Oil indicator ?

[raptor30v1]

That light represents when the control acts of traction.

[raptor30v1]

Imprezinante!
