Re: Improving Steptronic Shifts

Very confused here....

So do we put the key in ? Does it mean we don't put the key in and just push the start button ?

Re: Improving Steptronic Shifts

read about this trick some time ago on the Internet but can't remember the source...

from what i remember, the steptronic learns your driving patterns for the first 2000km thereabouts when new or after a reset... the cause of some jerkiness is that the cars are still in the "breaking-in" period for the first 2000km if purchase 1st hand, when the driver is gentle or maybe overly aggressive (hard breaking-in method) with their cars.

So the steptronic remembers and executes the shift patterns from the breaking-in period if it wasn't reset.

Tried, maybe it worked coz car feels very jerky today :yikess:

But installed exhaust n air intake today too, so wonder if its due to the new parts
