Re: 4 KQ gearing



Well everyone, I'm stumped. I think that Audi must have used multiple ratios each year and just lied for conveinience in their documentation. I come to this conclusion by reading what some of you have in your cars & what Audi tells me. They are two different stories and I tend to believe those of you who have experince with your own cars.

 My Bentley specifies a final drive of 4.11 for the CQ.  Also, the "Audi Gold Portfolio" comparism article of the S2 and ur20v lists an S2 final drive of 4.11.  However, my CQ is turning 3900 rpms at 80mph, surely way high relative to the optimal torque/HP sweet spot of an S2's 3B?  I'm concluding that gearbox ratios are different, but in any event, Audi's got a heap of 4.11 rears they scattered about. Brandon Hull'91 CQ  >Ron Wood said:
