6-spd lag

KaDargo, are you saying that their is absolutely no lag when you floor it from standstill, and also slowing at junctions then flooring it too? So it just immediately responds? If you can describe these two scenarios as best you can, in comparison with how it used to be, that would be great.

P.S. Do i ask for this...s/w update Q585 (engine management system upgrade) when i go in to the dealer then? Whats s/w stand for?

I just remembered my password for topix and had a look. Firstly, for my car it says ''their a no outstanding Field Service'' for this vehicle.
Also had a look at the list of bulletins for the evoque, but could not find this update listed.
I then put Q585 in the search and it indeed came up "Q585 (engine management system upgrade)'', but without subscription i was not able to view more info. It was only just added on the 7th April.

I don't think I've ever 'floored' it from standstill !!
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.

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.

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.

Where did you have it serviced?

Bilcenter i Norrköping.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
