RE: ECM update - Fixes emissions and throttle response

Just got the update done, took about 20 minutes. The jerkiness at low rpms is essentially gone. I mainly had the problem around town in stop and go situations. A big difference. Feels like I had expected it should.

Will keep an eye on the miles per gallon too. i think it will be same or maybe beter mileage since this update also supposedly does something with emissions. I believe its an early model issue since (which mine is) since the letter specified to check your VIN number to see if needed. the service manager said I did need it based on that. He also said that they check and update the ECM at every scheduled service, but not every visit. I had gone in for a tire issue at some point but they did not check it or update at that point.

Fantastic news, do you mind me asking which engine you have? I've read an awful lot about the Si4's jerkiness.

ECM update - Fixes emissions and throttle response

I assume I do. I have the US gasoline version. We only have one engine here.

Tim do you do a lot of highway driving? All I can muster is 21-22mpg mixed city/highway. If straight highway I can do 26-28mpg at 70-75

Great to hear! Any info on when LR starting putting this update into the cars they make at the factory? I'm about to buy a new Evoque and join the club and would be good to know if I'll need to have the dealer flash it with the new software before I take delivery on it, depending what date it was made. So would be good to know what date the factory made the change to the new software.

I'm assuming since any car on a California dealer lot right now was made at least 75 days ago has the previous software version, but perhaps LR recognized the problem and put the new software on the factory line before they sent letters out to everyone?

Hey NorCal

Register on topix LR then plug in the vin and it will show you if it has or hasn't upgraded the software. Mine was a made in Sept as the first release.

I haven't received any info yet - but I'm going to go to the dealer and see if I can get the update as there is some jerkiness in the earlier accerlations... nothing that concerns me... but if it improves fuel efficiency... WHY NOT!
