Tiptronic gearbox update

**Scott K** · 09-03-2015,05:12 PM

Had the car in for its first service. I mentioned that it seems to be holding 3rd gear for longer than other gears and that occasionally coming to a junction and accelerating was causing the gearbox to thump into 2nd(only twice that I have noticed). Picked the car up and have got some details on TPI and software updates. The TPI was 2036201/9 which has clutch adaptations, it also mentions carrying out SVM using latest software and road test. Too soon to tell but hopefully this will sort out the lunching into 4th. No idea what an SVM is though!

I've noticed a lurch more and more recently going 3rd to 2nd. Might see if I can have the upgrade too

SVM is Software Vehicle Management where by they connect the car to the servers in Germany and do the updates to the vehicles software. Also wipes any vcds codings you may have done

Cheers. Need to check the changes I made.
