Hey i was wondering about the different gearboxes in a audi a5 3.0 b8 automatic. I am going to buy a audi a5 but i want the s-tronic/dsg gearbox. I have had a audi tt and i really enjoyed the feeling in the gearbox. So i was wondering if a audi a5 3.0 have a gearbox like the audi tt? And how do i know the differents in the automatic gearboxes?

sorry for the bad english😅

Elias mate your English is wonderful! As far as I know there is only 1 auto box available on the 3.0tdi cos it makes so much torque. Auto with paddles on the steering wheel.

i understand. But in some a5 there is some of theme that have a s mode on the gear selecter and some of theme do not have this. I have also read that the a53.0 came in stronic and multitrlnic

The 3.0 TDI's came in FWD configuration in the UK weirdly enough with the CVT/Multitronic box. If it's a quattro then it's going to be s-tronic except for very early examples 2007-2008 I think might also come in normal torque converter. If it's FWD = multitronic.

Gearbox code in the build sticker I’m guessing? Not entirely sure sorry.

I looked into this when I bought my TDI. The 2.7 had the multitronic (CVT). The early 3.0 had 6-speed tiptronic, after May 2010 it got the 7-speed S-tronic (DSG). So count the number of gears 😉
