...Got the letter months ago, but you know how it is...
'Twas the crank sensor campaign... They replaced it, and also updated the 7G-tronic software at the same time. I didn't think I had a problem, but I must say I am thoroughly impressed with the gearbox now!!! It had a slight habit of being a touch jerky as it changed down to 1st gear when moving slowly in traffic stop-start - not so much that I ever felt worried about it at all, and I am pretty picky!!, but now it is a smooth as silk!!!! Don't know how they have done it, whether they flick the throttle slightly to match the engine revs to the gear, or if they slur the change a bit in the box, but it is brilliant!!!
