Rough trans shifting
I gotta say once more - the 2.0T 8 speed trans is the roughest shifting, jerkyest, most difficult to drive smooth transmissions in any car I have ever owned. I am scheduled for a trip to the dealer for a passenger seat that doesn't move anymore so I intend to complain about the shifting again. Maybe there is a TCM update which will help - but either way, I can't believe AUDI would put soemthing like this one the street.....seems alot of people are complaining.
This is my first AUDI and so far I'm not impressed.

Got the update last week, and it's cured of any hesitation! We were just commenting that we have never driven a car with such smooth transition between the gears...all 8 of them!
You need to talk to your Service Manager, because something is not right! Drive their Demo...see the difference! Good luck!

What drivetrain do you have?
In our 3.2 6-speed, the 1-2 transition is not smooth when cold. It tends to hold first gear too long - under moderate throttle, where you'd expect a shift at 2-2.5k RPM, it tends to wind out to around 3.5-4k followed by a hard 1-2 upshift.
Using manual mode eliminates the problem.
Once warmed up, it performs much smoother.

37G1 TCM update
I had the update done today while I was at the dealer for other warranty work. Had to ask for the update.
First impression - it actually seems to feel better during the lower gear downshifts. I'm reluctant to pronounce the problem solved in view of the fact the TCM has the ability to learn (hopefully not to be bad again).
Interesting - I was given an A3 Sportwagon to drive (it's a rocket)while mine was in the shop. Seemed the throttle mapping made the car much easier to drive smooth. No "turbo explosion" when pulling away from a stop. The 2.0T is a great engine in the A3 and the trans shifts wonderfully!
