My problem was lag at roundabouts etc (that gut wrenching feeling of being half-way across, car bearing down on you and going nowhere - then suddenly lurching towards the centre island! - anyway, that's gone) Generally all round seems to be improved. RE: 6-spd lag - hondafreak - 12-08-2016 12:17pm Since my car received the Q585, it feels like night and day. The engine is much more responsive. Before it was quite dangerous to enter a road with heavy traffic. If i floored the throttle it had 2sec lag until the car started to move. Now the car reacts instantanious. Also before i did the update was the car alway trying to shift down gears (engine break) when i lifted the throttle when driving towards a stop. Now i can let it roll out and save fuel. RE: 6-spd lag - Sarcastrix - 18-08-2016 07:38am Had Q585 carried out yesterday at the 4 year service. It seems to have loosen things up a bit in a good way, car feels like it did when I first had it remapped. Will have to check if it's overwritten my Bluefin ECU remap.

RE: 6-spd lag - Sarcastrix - 18-08-2016 10:39am Bilcenter i Norrköping. RE: 6-spd lag - benzina - 26-10-2016 07:50am Booked my Evoque in for service on Nov 15th....I have asked to install the software update Q585 (engine management system). I will report my findings here when it's done. Interested in hearing anyone else here who have had this done, and can report there findings too? Sounds very promising. RE: 6-spd lag - Pete - 26-10-2016 08:03am I have my 62 plate booked in for a service on the 3rd. I'll also ask for this, but I guess that software updates should be performed as a matter of course anyway? RE: 6-spd lag - Steve D - 26-10-2016 09:03am Yes, they should be as it's part of the service to carry out any software updates. I had mine serviced a few weeks ago now and they did the Q585 update and I have to say it is a vast and noticeable improvement. My dealer told me it was due anyway but it might just be worth mentioning that the update is needed so there is no misunderstanding although, as mentioned, updates are an item on the service sheet. RE: 6-spd lag - Pete - 26-10-2016 09:06am Thanks Steve. I have to admit that I'm kind of used to the way the gearbox works now, it'll be interesting to see what change this makes.

Sounds very promising. Further to my earlier thoughts above, I've noticed after the fix that the Fuel Range has increased from a 600km to 660km after filling up, although not sure if the mpg (L/100km) has actually increased. |
