Hello,

I bought an A4 1.9 TDI with 110 horsepower, and unfortunately, it has such short gearing that I can already reach its top speed at 100 km/h.

"According to Elsawin, the translation in position 5 for me is 28:41 = 0.683 (APL)."

There probably isn't anything bigger, right?

Can the axle ratio be changed, or is that not possible?

"It's really frustrating because I often use the train, and right now it constantly runs at around 4000 RPM. If I even reach 210 km/h according to the GPS, I'm already in the red zone!"

A 6-speed gearbox isn't exactly cheap... Would the one from a 2.5 TDI fit?

Hi.

Could you possibly get more performance by using larger tires?

In the G3 Var, the transmission is also shorter than in the standard G3, but it comes with larger tires: 195/60 R14 instead of 185/60 R14, which are 2% larger.

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

... there was another T.

I don't know what the f*ck it was.

Check this out: /viewtopic.php?t=448

I had slightly larger tires registered for my vehicle.

Regards,
Udo.

That doesn't really achieve much... It would only be worthwhile if you put on 18-inch tires; then you would at least have some actual tire tread.


but on the transmission itself?
It's really easy to do on the G3.
