I seem to remember there being some software changes in the early days of the DCT, I will have to look into that one.
Hey Herb or anyone who knows the answer, maybe I have just never driven slow in manual mode but... I have the GTS DCT tune. For the first time I'm noticing that if I take off slowly in manual mode the car shifts into 2nd gear without me doing anything. If I push it hard it does not shift on its own. Only at very slow speed does it do this. And only from 1st to 2nd. Is this typical and I have just never noticed or is it a programming issue that has just arisen? One other thing, this is a Florida car. I'm in 30 degree weather up north. Every sensor in the car has gone off including emissions, start off assistance, DBC malfunction and DSC malfunction. So I'm assuming that the cold weather is affecting the battery. Is the battery issue affecting the transmission also?
