GTD acceleration responsiveness

Sam, without checking first myself, where do you go to see the software version?

I will check in a bit and post back here

OK checked, and i'm on software version 0421

Monkeyhanger, whats your software version as you're the only person who has reported having the issue whereas its now resolved - perhaps the version number doesn't change if the update was purely bug fixes...

Don't think mine change anything on the headunit version screen, but I do have a small campaign sticker put in the boot under the carpet next to the spare wheel. I'll see what it says and perhaps take a snap ?

A software update for engine management won't show up on the head unit, that's just for media software. The sticker in the boot will be the 4d4 whatever it is update. They hook the car up to the computer and if anything needs updating it updates as part of the service. Should be noted on paperwork though.

also, depending on when you got your car you may or may not need the update.  Mine was serviced in Sept and there were np updates required.

I spoke to the service guy about the software being the same version as before. He said that my car had received a brake electronics software update and that it wouldn't show up on the head unit. The version on the head unit in the 'System Information' section is 0192 and Hardware version H40.

I must look in the boot for the other sticker.

Mine went for its first service last week.  They installed their "engine management" software update (45d4?), and checked the original head unit / driver profile software version (Sept 13 car) but reckoned it was up to date.  So far it still seems to be resetting the throttle from sport to normal on a manual engine start.  I did mention that problem specifically to them beforehand but they didn't seem to have any knowledge of it...  Oh well

Mine does this too, annoying. Has anyone had any further updates on it?

Mine got fixed following my first service in August, even though they denied fixing anything (i'd brought up the mode reset issue prior to the service) - I assumed any software updates inadvertently fixed it rather than a successful attempt to fix the issue raised.

Just joined,

Took delivery of my 5dr GTD Manual in December. I seem to have this bug too. Have to cycle through modes every time I start to get the sporty feel I want.

Colleague also took delivery of one the same day but he is not seeing this problem. My VIN number is slightly later than his but we have the same spec options etc.

Spoke to the dealer but they haven't heard of this. Suggested I book it in for a tech to try and diagnose before they contact the factory. But My experience of this is that will not find the issue themselves and give me a blank look as if to say I'm imagining it. Can't be doing with the inconvenience to not get a solution.

Hoping to be able to give them more info as to what fixes it first.

I can't find this boot sticker? Can someone describe where it is?

My on dash display is version 0421

My service is 17,000 miles off and that will probably take me a couple of years.

All they'll do is reset the basic settings in the car which will probably fix the problem. At least let a dealer try before saying it was an inconvenience
