Every car is a little different. The hesitation doesn't RUIN the Q5 TDI it just makes you have to learn how to drive a different drive train. People will still make it a big deal. They hate when their normal condition gets changed without them consciously making that change. Adapt and move on.

The sixteen tanks pre-fix run through a year starting in February, 2017 and ending in February, 2018. The nineteen tanks post-fix began in March, 2018 to current. I take two trips a year to Florida and back (from Tennessee). I just completed one. But even local trips for me are on rural country roads and highways. Hence the relatively small percentage decrease. Less time doing stop and go while the engine is cold.

I can't say I've had any irregular shifting. The hesitation that we seem to all be having I can say that I've learned to not punch the throttle and expect response. Instead I give it an initial tap (middle of stroke) to let the computer know I want it to respond and then a bigger push a second later. That generally kicks down the gear and gets the acceleration I'm looking for. It isn't a perfect response but having gone away from manual transmissions and smaller turbo engines this works effectively in getting up to merging speed.

In any event, I have only experienced the hesitation a time or two since fix.

Which TDI is yours? Our fixed one isn't "just right" huh Goldilocks? Geez so don't go in the bears house...I mean get your TDI fixed...then. Let us know if you have emissions tests in your future. I do and I'll be passing just fine.

In all fairness, there’s another thread where a few holdouts on the fix have come forward and are conversing. This thread, titled “Fix Experiences,” should not be a haven for uninformed off topic statements, though there have been more than a few. If you go back and review the entirety of this thread (I know, nobody actually does that), you will see an overwhelming majority of these experiences are positive. Not perfect, mind you. But folks are positive about the experience. By which I mean the whole of it. The performance taken against the settlement money etc, etc.
the Goldilocks joke gets to the point in a certain way. So please, leave it be. We know, by now, exactly how upset you guys feel that someone moved your cheese.
