Audi A3 Dsg Software Update
I had mine done on the 10th August and have noticed a drop in torque at lower revs. Find I now have to change up a gear to accelerate in situations where previously it could manage well enough.

For example there is a stretch of road close to where i work that goes from 30 to 40mph as well as going into a slight incline and i now have to change up to 3rd gear from 4th to increase to 40mph when in the past this could have been done smoothly and easily enough staying in 4th. I have reported it to Warrington Audi who have replied that no one else has reported the same issue and they will get back to me about it! My advice - don't get it done! I have a 2015 A4 177 Black edition plus.
Well I got mine done so that I would have its future covered, as it is its standard and updated, I was always going to get it remapped anyway and I was unsure how the update would effect its future, so I took the view that if someone wants a car thats morally legal, then mine is that, but if they want one that goes faster and does more MPG, then mine does that also, or will do when I decide who is going to get the work. I'm not going to get embroiled in the social selfishness of making a car more polluting, I worked in Transport policy for a number of years and I have a different perspective on a few things. The issue of wanting something for nothing is an interesting one, we are surrounded by the blame culture and our litigation system lives of this, we are all victims of the BOGOFF culture as well, so its very tempting to get on a high horse that fits your particular world view then completely contradict yourself by avoiding you civic responsibility somewhere else down the line, so none of us are saints are we? I am of the view that the motor industry is its own worst enemy, its built itself on misinformation, sucking of teeth and profiteering. Its not a benevolent industry that puts the welfare of its customers first, it exploits peoples ignorance and dieselgate is precisely one of those episodes, that people should take opportunity to claw something back from the industry that this forum routinely calls '********' is I think only to be expected. Audi produce great cars in the main, but they also have a great history of perpetuating faults, often blaming the end user and even in this instance they are more bothered that they got caught.
