When pushing on its brilliant though. In yours with the new 7 speed does that seem to have been eliminated?

P.S - looks great in white, thoughts on aftermarket wheels? I've got the gloss anthracite Revo RV019s which are a lovely wheel.
I think they have eliminated (as I would have noticed) it cause that was working on my nerves in S8 when torque-converter was taking longer than needed to change gear on relaxed drive. Absolute beast when pushing - car is not settled yet (engine , transmission) but drives so good! Deffo JB4 and DSG software update - now you have added springs to equation
