I heard that Audi 2008 R8 model has a R-tronic Transmission.Do you guys think that Audi would apply R-tronic to S- series model (S4, RS4, S5, S6, S8) later ???What‘s difference between R-tronic BMW‘s SMG transmission ??Thank you if you answer these two questions.
Audi's R-Tronic Transmission is overall the Lamborghini E-Gear Transmission rebadged. The difference between the R-Tronic and the SMG is that the R-Tronic uses single-clutch, while the SMG uses double-clutch. This single-clutch system helps for faster shifts and a lighter weight. Audi will not apply the R-Tronic to any other model, as it is extremely expensive to manufacture (it is not standard on even the R8) and is not so high in demand otherwise.
The front brake lever has a switch. The switch might be damaged.
not usually but there is a separate switch. Check your fusebox first then have look at the wiring between the lever and fusebox. There is probably a switch behind the lever, which, when released completes a circuit. That may be broken or sticky. They are not usually expensive to replace, just a bit fiddly sometimes
R-tronic utilize single clutch, while SMG like DSG utilizes dual clutch. This is a robotic gearbox like the DSG/SMG but probably slower since it's a single clutch.
Nope. Check the switch at the handlebar.
