Going to appear a strange question, someone i know has a 57 plate A6 Avant (2.0TDI Sline, NAV) - i assumed it was a Stronic (DSG) he said the other day it was a conventional auto.

My golf says DSG on the shifter, this has no markings i can see, though i'd be very surprised if it was a regular auto.

Any way of easily telling?

IF its front wheel drive its multi tronic.

If its 4 wheel drive, its a conventional auto, know by Audi as tip tronic.

Only nest shape A4/A5 have DSG/S-tronic as an option.

By driving it? Multitronic doesn't shift gears - it's a CVT. Tiptronic does have gears so feels "normal".
