First of all, hello everyone.
My name is Alex, and I'm new here.
I hope you can help me with my problem.
Okay, it's about an A4 B8, model year 2014, with a 2.0 TDI engine and a 7-speed S-Tronic transmission. Initially, everything was perfect. In January, I had the emissions update done. Since then, my transmission has been shifting up much later than before. This wouldn't bother me too much, but especially at 100 km/h, it constantly shifts back and forth between 6th and 7th gear. When I use the cruise control, it shifts up much earlier and stays in 7th gear, just like it did before the update. The shift recommendations when manually shifting are also exactly the same as before the update. It only shifts erratically when I accelerate myself. The specialist workshop just said, "We didn't do anything to the transmission."
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
Sure, here's the translation:

"Thank you in advance."

Hey,
I've encountered this problem before.
An adaptation process from the transmission has resolved the issue.
Best regards,

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't know much about this subject. Do you perhaps have a link to an instruction manual on how the adaptation drive needs to be done? And thank you for the tip. icon_smile_thumb_up.gif

First, you purchase VCDS here in the shop, and then we can explain it icon_smile_thumb_up.gif.

Evening.
That's how the forum rules are here.
The operator relies on this for their livelihood, and therefore, there is no support provided for third-party products.
Please contact your seller.

No, don't ignore those seemingly endless instructions during the registration process.

What exactly do you not understand about the following text/link?

/profile.php?mode=register

For everything that has nothing to do with diesel engine technology and diagnostics, you can simply post anything.
Otherwise, you either need to own a diagnostics system from us, have a support key, or collect "Dieselschrauber" points. Actually quite simple, right?


Best regards, Rainer.
