Default Tiptronic problem

Okay so I'm in my evaluation period of buying this car and the when I put the car into tiptronic mode it will shift to gears above second but then immediately shifts back to second. This includes when I shift into tiptronic mode while on the high way, it will shift back down and refuses to shift up until I shift back into automatic Has anyone had this problem before? Any estimates on price to fix? The turbo is strong and everything else is copasetic...

2000 S4

PLEASE HELP

What RPM should I be shifting at when in tiptronic mode. Sorry I'm a noob...

Sounds like RPM sensor or Tip position sensor.

sounds like a lot of $$$, If you can go with manual tranny, longer life and better gas mileage.
