I just posted in the mega thread about my experience with this, but figure "the fix" warrants its own thread so owners can post their experience.

I had my one year service, saw the recall and update, and did not experience the lag for a few days.

Audi recall shown on service invoice states: " 37M6 W - UPDATE - Engine and Transmission Control Module Software - 4M Open 37m6 performed"

I reached out to my service advisor -

Here is the message thread:

Me:

Hi David, could you please clarify a recall that was fixed on my vehicle: " 37M6 W - UPDATE - Engine and Transmission Control Module Software - 4M Open 37m6 performed" What is this?

David:

In certain driving situations, especially when driving at lower speeds and not coming to a full stop, the restart response and acceleration of the engine after an automatic start/stop event may not meet customer´s expectations. The updated software will harmonize the acceleration behavior after a start/stop event by optimizing the shift pattern of the automatic transmission

Me:

Received! This is the update I have been waiting for! PERFECT!!!

David:

Awesome! Hope it feels more responsive for you

**** I HOPE THIS IS THE REAL DEAL AND WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!!!! GET THE UPDATE WITH YOUR LOCAL DEALER!!!

Did it fix it? Also what year model do you have?

@larsendiv - So far it has drastically improved the response time. Not sure if it is a "complete" fix to no lag at all. I have not been driving enough to determine that. Will keep you updated.

I am on a 2019 Q8 Prestige.

I just called my dealer and they have the update. Going in a couple hours to get it done

In my vehicle it seems completely fixed. I have an early production Q8 from November 2018.

Yes, I drove quite a bit over the last two days and confirm it is fixed. Feels like a new vehicle to me and I can't believe what a difference this software update has made!

I would def recommend everyone to go get the update done.

I have a March 2019. No one has contacted me about this. But, I found out about it through Facebook.
