I have had the APR V1.3 (with extra ecu) in my 1999.5 Avant since october. I am considering sending it back for an upgrade. Has anyone with a tiptronic transmission completed this upgrade? I would like to hear if there is a noticable difference or should I just stick with V1.3? Thanks for the help.

Do a search on this. I did and there are a few happy people out there

I upgraded from v1.2 to v3 in December. It was a little hard to tell because I drove the stock chip for a week, but I do think there was a difference. Mid-range WOT pull seems better and part throttle driving around town is smoother.

A new "issue" cropped up after the upgrade. I feel a shudder when I suddenly lift from WOT. After lots of experimentation and asking around, I think it's the front engine mount. It's not really a problem and apparently APR is working on an upgraded part. The appearence of this issue confirms my feeling that more torque is generated by v3.

I say, Go for it!

I did and I would definitely suggest it. The newer chip is a lot smoother than the old version.
