Firmware update from the dealer should sort this out :coolShake:

Would a FW update be the same as recoding the DME?

let me know how it goes.

Will do :thumbs:

So got the car back and a happy camper, purring like a kitten :ty:

In addition to the DME reprogramming, got some new rear discs and brakes.

Gotta love MP :blowheart:

Car went in yesterday morning for this issue. SA called at about 1pm to say that the revs were low and they adjusted it. :indifferent-: I asked if they did a DME update and he said no. Said car is fine and I should come collect at 5pm.

Around 4pm, he calls again to say the problem is still there. So I suggest a DME update based on LFC's experience. Hopefully they take my advice and that it sorts out the issue.

Cool, let us know :thumbs:

So just some feedback after having the new DME update for a week.

The car is alot smoother and somewhat more refined, the usual morning cold start growl only lasts around 5 seconds or so as opposed to +-30 seconds previously before settling down :thumbdo:

The gear changes in D/S/M are also less ferocious than they were, even with Sport Mode engaged.

I am also getting slightly better consumption, was on 11l/100km previously now around 10.5l/100km.

All in all the update seems to have helped but the car has lost some of its animalistic characteristics which i rather miss
