Hi The engine control module software was covered by the number you quoted but I think this is just for the engine itself. I have the Audi cam video from the update on my car and it shows the update to the ECM but not the details about the gearbox software as far as I can see. The technician mentioned that they also updated the gearbox software at the same time. As I have already mentioned in the thread, this seem to have made a big difference to the car with no evidence of the shuddering at all since the update was performed.

Good one Audi. A little less for some ot worry about in this difficult time.

I have to say that since my software update (previously mentioned), my 50tdi has been fine, No shuddering, no massive delay leaving roundabouts, etc. It is a huge improvement. I would urge people to ask their dealers about the software update: Software update to gearbox carried out and software update for Engine Control Module carried out. The software version went from 4M0907401L 0001, to 4M0907401L 0002.

I love my Audi and have had several. A6 saloon, A6 Avant. Q3, Q7 and A8. Various ages and engines but all with one thing in common: a fabulous interior, quiet and refined and, for some reason, really thick paint!

Grave

Good looking little car, especially the interior, but worth it over an A4?

If you left the oil outside the house for someone local then that would be fine.

How

Some nice cars on those lists. Mine would be Bentley Continental GT Range Rover Autobiography (full fat RR) Maserati Quattroporte Jaguar XJS convertible Land Rover series 2 Hmmm, did the lottery numbers come right?

Looking forward to some nice weather at the weekend so I can get the polish out!

Excellent result! It is great when these things work as hoped.

Thanks for the tips, I will look at getting the tar remover and clay as the paint is definitely feeling a little 'bitty. in places.

Well, with the latest events I have now been able to 'detail' my car (white Q7) and the wifge's car (Emerald Green Karoq). What amazes me every time I do this si the size difference between the two. The Q7 seems to take and age to clean compared to the Karoq. I think the surprise is partly because the Q7 doesn't look big in terms of its styling. It has more of an extended estate car look compared to a Discovery for example. Anyway, rinsed, foamed, washed, dried and quick detailed and it looks good. I should really get the tar remover/clay bar done but I have never done that and would need to buy the materials for it. I use a Karcher pressure washer, Autobrite lance and snowfoam, Bilt Hamber car shampoo and Meguairs Ultimate Quik Detail spray. I think I will get some of the Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax as a step up form the Quik Detail spray. I used to have the full on waxes and polishes but I can't be bothered with that now, especially on a white car. Anyone else using their extra home time to detail?

Hi dd, It appears that a replacement unit is the only option. I have been googling around for quite a while and the results are the same - replacement of whole unit. Jon

Thought I had better introduce myself as I have already been posting in Q7 section. Been driving a range of cars over the years, including A6 saloon and estate, A8, Q3 (wife's) and now a 2019 Q7. I just seem to gravitate to the German car 'style', especially the ergonomics of the interiors and their perceived build quality. Wife now has a 2018 Karoq which has been awesome, but doesn't compare obviously to the driving of the Q7 which I have had from new. The Karoq is an amazing car for the price though. Wanting a hybrid/electric next but I need 7 seats which causes a lot of problems! We will see if Audi introduce a 7 seat etron!
