I have been told two different stories regarding why Tiptronic starts out in second gear rather than first... 1) Gas savings 2) Prevent wheel spin</br> Is it either or both or neither? Also, two more questions: 1) Is it bad to force Tip into 1st gear when in manual mode and at a stop? 2) Is there a way to forice Tip to start in 1st gear when in Auto mode and stopped?</br> Edited by - hsjb on 01/27/2006 6:09:58 PM

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

In response to the 'yes' on the second question, 'How do you do it?' I really haven't looked yet, but any time savings is good to me.
Am I missing something? If you don't use it from a standstill,why have first gear there at all?
You can if in manual mode. It's still not clear to me if it ever starts in first gear when in auto mode.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
