My VIN is showing the shift update as well via the Audi Recall and Campaign website.




Haven't really noticed the hesitation issue with the 4.2.
Not sure if it is more minimal, or I've subconsciously worked around it.

My 5,000 is due so will see what my SA has to say and report back.

My service department clerk said its something Audi may "fix" it.

I've re-trained my right foot to compensate. I can now compensate for the flaw. But when I drive the other cars I have to remember not to push to fast!

The tank recall was done also. No leak, just a campaign to it before it leaks.

Mike
how did you compensate for it lol? let the car roll out a bit before hitting it?
