Coding changes didn't disappear for meDoes the update still retain the OBD11 changes or does it get reset?
Good to knowCoding changes didn't disappear for me
Tried that today. I was in S and I pulled a paddle. Did it several times. I counted 5 Mississippi’s. Each time it went from manual back to S. Same timing before the 24fx update.People can have their opinions. Mine is that I see noticeable changes. Slightly higher cold start rpms as noted. Overall smoothness (subjective) improvement. When shifting manually in D or S mode I see a definite delay before it will go back to D or S without touching the paddles.
No CANBUS.Just got the letter today in the mail. My 2020 MK7.5 GTI is EQT Stage 2 tuned, so won't be going anytime soon. I guess I'll seat back and watch how this evolve as more people conduct this update and report back. Back in my old M3 days I just flashed back to stock and took the car for any kind of work.
My tractor sounds during cold start actually seems like it goes away quicker than usual. Also, the secondary air pump is definitely louder. Happens almost instantly, u hear the pump blowing/sucking but after a few seconds it disappears. Before 24fx the pump would hiss during cold start for about 60-80% of the cold start procedure’s time.Well, I took a half day and went for a 90 mile errand-running drive, mixed highway and local roads. I also stopped by the office to pick up 2 of my 27s off the desk to use at home (likely not back in til 2022), so I have a good idea how it usually feels.
Cold start sounds much less like a tractor, it's still there, but the duration is shorter (2sec vs 15ish secs).
Start/Stop shutdown is smoother, less jolting/jarring.
Other than those, I can't feel any tangible difference while driving. D mode still lugs along at the lowest possible RPM, S mode feels exactly the same.
From what I read the update was strictly for emissions and your experience seems to validate that.My tractor sounds during cold start actually seems like it goes away quicker than usual.

this was all I’ve noticed on the stock gli so far.
Yeah. @GTIfan99 mentioned it was meant to compliment the 0w20 oil and that it was sort of the next wave to make sure the oil jives better with the platform. I believe itFrom what I read the update was strictly for emissions and your experience seems to validate that.
placebo is a strange thing isnt it? it's why people will put in a k&n filter and think their car's faster.I dunno wtf you people are talking about
just had 24fx done. GTI and gli feel the same. No differences at all. The pedal in D still feels the same.
the only thing that I noticed was cold start revs was maybe 100-200rpm higher than usual. And even then I hardly paid attention to it.
dsg farts or whatever seemed the same too.
Same reason doctors will give a placebo pill. The mind is powerful.placebo is a strange thing isnt it? it's why people will put in a k&n filter and think their car's faster.
I was thinking about this last night. When the car is in a state of relearning due to the flash, battery disconnect etc. it can make the car feel like a dog, or peppy, or the same.placebo is a strange thing isnt it? it's why people will put in a k&n filter and think their car's faster.
With the original tune, my car felt great after they reset the adaptions. It got worse and worse with time and driving hard, so it's valid point that car can feel differently over time after a reset, whether that's better or worse.I was thinking about this last night.

I figure it’s either placebo or the learning?
Yeah, this was an alternate theory I had in mind if the update doesn't actually change anything that would make it drive better for some. I think this is the more plausible theory too unless we receive confirmation from a reliable source that the update does affect engine tuning somehow that would make our cars feel differently, as observed by some.I was thinking about this last night.
