Be more specific when driving.

When coasting, accelerating, decelerating, upshift, or downshift, etc.

So did you check it and rule that out?

Tip quattro you say? I'd just run it into a tree and get a 5MT or 6MT if it were me....

quick history: changed radiator 3 months ago
added a gallon of tranny fluid(still a little low)
last week had rear wheel bearings done
yesterday realized leaking tranny fluid line into radiator
and a whole heap of other small problems
now this rpm thing

I'd start by checking the fluid level, itself not an easy task..

sorry....I tell Trevor that every day too.....my wife even gives him crap. When he calls, usually once or twice a month when his B5 won't run" my wife yells in the background "did you tell him to put gas in that automatic thing he calls an Audi".....LOL....Can't give him too much crap he just gave us 15 lbs of organic bacon off his parents farm. Damn that is some tasty stuff if you dig on swine that is....So guess it pays to come to his rescue all the time

OT/TJ: So did YGM last night? Still wearing my AW gear with pride. Even though I really do hate this new stuff no sense bitching...change the things you can deal with what you can't =)
