Anyone feel a difference in their thottle response after the 5,000 service?

Maybe it was just that I was driving a slow A4 as a loaner, but my car felt like it had much better throttle response.
Also, what are the additional Navigation benefits from the new 2006 service download with the V5 Navteq. I didnt see any change.

Many have agreed that the car seems to drive better after the "break-in" oil is changed to regular... I have definitely noted improved feeling with my car after a few thousand miles.

As to the Navteq, the options are identical, though the maps are definitely more detailed as there were over 4 regions with poor data (small towns or cities) in the last version that are now very detailed. For me, it was a worthwhile upgrade...if you haven't found any Nav areas missing data, then you may not want to pay the price...

Was the oil changed?

My '04 2.7T came with mineral oil (break-in oil as the previous poster referred to) and it is somewhat thicker than most oils. I got smoother engine operation..quicker RPM response after the mineral oil was taken out.
