Default There's something wrong with yours if it does that.

I can redline in EVERY gear in tiptronic mode. I can get it damn close to redline in auto mode in first as well.

Default Just found this thread.. Actually I think this is something they started in later models..

Mine will go to redline in first in either mode. Always has.

I'm due to pick my car up later this week from the dealer. If I remember I'll ask them about this.

Default Yes.

VAG-COM will not recode modules in demo mode.

Default Does the "sport mode" work as well?

The 1 > 2 upshift elimination is obvious, but did you notice a change in the overall shifting behavior (quicker shifts) as well?

I only ask since the guy who originally posted about this had an A6 (different transmission). Since I don't have the forced upshift, the only part I would be interested in is the "sport mode". In fact, I wish I had discovered this earlier -- I believe that lazy shifting is what has caused my 3rd gear to start slipping (too much torque from my APR chip).

Thanks!
Paul
