Default A4 B5 AWM - RPMs at 70MPH

Hello all,

Just wondering how many RPMs you are running at when doing 70mph.
I've got a 2001 A4 B5 AWM (131k miles) and although its been good to me I think its running higher then normal RPMS close to 3k at that speed.

What do you all get with your similar vehicle?
I've got a VAG COM and some skill what do you think I should take a look at?

No codes at all BTW, saved or otherwise.

Thanks!

Hey,
the last time I checked, my car was running at ~68 mph (110 km/h) at 3,000rpms.

I've also been wondering if my RPM's were high, though my car has a turbo leak..

Your RPM should not vary regardless of how the engine is running. If it is either your clutch or auto tranny is slipping.
The only thing that would be effected would be mileage.

Default Auto Tranny?

Thanks for the response.

I feel that MPG has been affected too.

Any good way to test the auto tranny? To really identify it as the issue.
