    Question about 1.6auto shifting

    The other day my girlfriend got her car serviced. all was fine with the auto beforehand. after the service (brakes, oils, filters, rocker cover gasket) the car now shifts way higher than it used to. it now upshifts at around 4000rpm+ instead of 3000 where it used to.

    Any ideas what's happened??

    any replies much appreciated... thanks.

    Was the ecu/battery disconnected for a significant period of time? If so, the auto probably has to re-learn the shift points etc. that it was familiar with before.

    Even crappy late model Falcadores and Magna's have that kind of learning system, I can't see why your gf's wouldn't either.

    It has a few programs that it can run on.
    Economy, Sport, Alpine. They can be set in VAG Com.
    Maybe the battery has been off, or someone has tinkered with the VAGCom settings.
    I can sort it for you if you want.
