Find an open stretch of deserted road. Then, with your car in 3rd gear (A4), bring the speed up and hold it at 105 mph. If your tac shows roughly 4,700 rpm on stock tires, you have 3.23’s. If it reads 4000 rpm, you have 2.73’s.
Or, if you aren’t a lunatic trying to lose their driver’s license, try 65 mph in 4th. It should be about 2000 rpm with 3.23’s or 1,700 with 2.73’s if my math is correct.

Here's my method. Bring the car up to 160 MPH. If you're still in 3rd, you have 2.73s. If you're now in 4th, you have 3.23s.
