My 9G was like that, you could get 9th below 70 with the paddles but it would drop back to 8th quite often in Auto...One more thing to add. When driving in manual mode on a light throttle the "upshift" display tells me to change to 7th gear at 55mph. If it won't do it automatically until I am doing over 70mph, why does it say it is ok in manual?
Answers on a postcard.
Since it was just a software change and not also a hardware / sensor change surely GAD had a copy of your original remap file to put back on ?
Sounds like they've created a new file from the inferior update version .

I tend to agree. I was assured by GAD that they used the original remap file to replace the Mercedes update file.
GAD did not carry out a before and after rolling road check to see what Mercedes had done and to check the improvement after the remedial remap.
The fuel economy, nor the performance feel as good, even though I was told everything done by Mercedes had been overwritten. The problem with the auto gearbox not going into 7th feels like only half the job has been done.
The 7th gear thing is well known/noted, and unfortunately the thread on here has been derailed by 'anti-diesel' posters
The only company that seems to be able to revert the software update is Big Fish Tuning near Newcastle.
A simple remap won't do it - the remap is really just changing values in the map, rather than overwriting the whole 'operating system' (like a PC).
You will get nowhere with Mercedes themselves. They make you sign for a service and you're giving your consent then - it's in the fine print (that they know you won't read)
I'm not sure if STAR can roll back the factory software like I mentioned in another post our tools have the ability with the VAG emissions affected vehicles but nothing for Mercedes OR BMWI didn't realise this. My 2016 C207 350d was updated by Mercedes before I bought it.
I was planning to get it remapped, but this has thrown a spanner in the works.
Anyone had Big Fish revert, then remap?
No not true its nothing like over writing a PC's operating system at all.The 7th gear thing is well known/noted, and unfortunately the thread on here has been derailed by 'anti-diesel' posters

Sorry I must have misunderstood you....That's what I was saying.
Looking forward to seeing you again mateyHaving spoken to GAD, they have invited me to take the car back to them for investigation. I much appreciate their gesture of goodwill and excellent customer service.
I will let you know how I get on.
I'm not sure if I'm confused over this?I didn't realise this. My 2016 C207 350d was updated by Mercedes before I bought it.

Yes you can get it remapped still, but it will from the newer parameters rather than the old ones, so maybe not quite as good but still much better than you have nowI'm not sure if I'm confused over this?
Because the car has been updated by Mercedes, can I still have it remapped.
I'm based Greater Manchester.
