Question 1

Which Audi models have a manual gearbox?

Accepted Answer

Mainly the A1, A3 and Q2, plus earlier generations of the A4, A5, Q3 and TT. The large SUVs, the hybrids and the electric e-tron models are automatic, and Audi has dropped the manual from most current models.

Question 2

What should I check on a used manual Audi?

Accepted Answer

The clutch and, on TDI diesels and the stronger TFSI engines, the dual-mass flywheel: a rattle at idle or judder when pulling away points to wear. Ask whether either has already been replaced.

Question 3

Is a manual Audi cheaper than one with S tronic?

Accepted Answer

Usually, since the manual was the cheaper option new and mostly came with smaller engines. It also avoids the repair risk of older dual-clutch S tronic gearboxes, whose mechatronic unit can be costly to replace.

Question 4

Can you get an Audi quattro with a manual gearbox?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on some older models such as A3 and A4 versions with quattro, but they are rare. Most used quattro Audis in Switzerland are automatic.
