Is there a manual or something to download that wil help identify some buttons that I have no idea what they do?

Like the button on the console which has a steering wheel symbol on it; the button on the dash with the AWD symbol on it; and what diff would the 'snow' button make?

:blink:

been discussed before - but the button with the steering wheel symbol on it activates the up / down gear change buttons on the steeringwheel

snow button basically stops it from taking off in 1st gear ( to prevent wheel spin ) and I think it limits boost too???

there is also a button on the dash that locks the center diff for slippery conditions

( dont use it on tarmac ) I gotta run for now but I am sure some of the more in the know people will come along and enlighten you further.

The steering wheel symbol engages your tiptronic shifters

The AWD button changes the torque split in the ATESSA form 80:20 to 50:50

The Snow button lowers engine torque and starts the car in 2nd gear to prevent wheel spin in slippery conditions

My RS4 has the Momo steering wheel, so I don't think I have the tiptronic shift buttons there.

Thanks for the answers guys ... now I can yell at the GF for pushing buttons, knowing what harm they could do :blink:

for god sake don't press the snow button. It releases a huge dump of snow from the roof and you will be drying the car out for ages afterwards

mine just gives me bad reception on the tv.

The momo's I have seen (for series 2 tiptronic) also have the shift up/down buttons...?

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
