Default Performance Axle Ratio?

My mother-in-law found the orginal window sticker for the C5 we bought from her. I always thought it had the normal rear end gear ratio for A4 - I think it's 2.73?

Well, the window sticker says "Performance Axle Ratio - $300.00"

Nothing about what this ratio is, however. Any way to find out?

Some of my RPO's are smeared away.

That would be the 3:15 to 1 ratio. Only other factory installed ratio is the 3:42 only on 6 speeds.

Thanks!

Good news I guess, because from what I've read the 2.73 ratio is a pain to swap out.

If you can read the smeared RPO G92 would be the 3.15 performance axle ratio

You are looking for G92 for the 3.15 option. If you see it in there kudos, if not time to mod Really not a pain. I swapped my 3.15's for a 3.42's and a yank 3200. Totally different car and well worth the $. Either way enjoy the car and drive it like you stole it!
