2,5TDI AEL ist sehr träge | Posts 16+

I've modified my DZT table with your data (49 km/h = 1500 rpm, 12.8 seconds). If those values are accurate, then your AEL tolerance of +/- zero is correct. However, I don't know if the DZT test can be adjusted to use the 4th gear. It would be better to run the test in 3rd gear; that comparison would also be interesting for me.
Good night.

Hi, I took it for a test drive yesterday evening. Initially, with the AC on, it took 6.4 seconds to complete the test in 3rd gear. Without the AC, over three attempts, the times were 5.8 / 6.0 / 6.1 seconds.
At 2000 RPM in 3rd gear, the on-board computer indicated a speed of 45 km/h!
The values seem to be okay.
Best regards,

What are you complaining about with those values? Do you happen to have your transmission MKB code handy? Is that also an ARX 6-speed? I don't think so; based on your stated RPM/speed ratio, yours seems to be shorter geared.

Hey, I don't have the GKB data available right now. But even in the lower gears (2nd and 3rd), it pulls strongly, no question about that. Personally, I find it a bit sluggish in 4th, 5th, and 6th, even though the values seem correct. I had higher expectations initially, but I've gotten used to it now. The original post is also quite a few weeks old! I've also developed a different riding style lately, more cruising than speeding. It's still fun with this big bike!
Stay relaxed.
