Facelift RS3 FL Gearbox Issue?

[hcx187]

Hi all

Recently picked up an RS3 FL with 17.5K and not sure if issue or just characteristic of S tronic gearbox map I noticed that in the lower gears the gear changes are little clunky if that makes sense? For example if you come off accelerator and slowly go back on will be a delay and then gets into gear

Booked into Audi but not sure if they will help

Yep I experience this, expecially if on the brakes when changing down. I think the car disengages the clutch when not on the power and sometimes delays downshifts low in the rev range until you get on the power a bit. Maybe the anti-stall feature. Either way, yeah you have to learn how to drive it a bit. Not sure if TCM remaps help.

Cool so not even worth going into Audi as sounds like its how the car is to be honest?

Can be sorted with a Tcu update.

Very much a characteristic of the DQ500 in these partially helped with tcu tunes but it is still there somewhat.
