The PDK software update has been available in Europe for several months...

Stoppie, what changes does this software do for PDK? My dealer still knows nothing about this. My car was built late August-early September. I took delivery the day it got in on Spet 27 2008.

In their defense they WONT know about it. It's not a P-Tech. Infact, the Tech won't see the update. Their system is automatically updated as soon as they logon and hook up your car. If your car takes it, and it will; then there it is.


Someone from Germany told our Tech about it when we did the PDK replacement, back about 1 week ago.

OK I will get back with my dealer again. Do you know what this update actually does for PDK? What does it change?

Thanks, I am. And it's nice to see more than 9.5 mpg.
It's hard to keep it under 4200 rpm for the break in, tomorrow another wash and a coat of wax over the AIO and I can go for a long drive.
