I have read all the threads regarding the lag/hesitance at low revs - especially with the SD4 Auto box, and the terrible fuel economy as the engine beds in.
My question is...the dealer has said these things will improve as you go, apparently a major difference in economy at around 10-20,000 k's. What are others thoughts?
Also that the lag will improve as the learning works out your style. Well after 600kms my style is.....
push loud pedal to the floor at the lights.....no response. release. push again. no response..
How can i teach the computer i want 1st/2nd gear???? Any ideas on how to teach the ECU to get rid of the lag?
90% of my driving is city, with lots of traffic lights, but not much traffic, so i want as much acceleration from the box as i can. My old vehicle was a Merc ML270 cdi, heavier with much less power but when I pressed the accelerator hard it still moved off in 1st into 2nd...
cheers!
