Further to previous correspondence with you regarding DSG gearbox hesitation on exiting junctions and joining roundabouts, today, on Skoda's request, I took my car to the local dealer for a 'new software' update. It apparently wipes the DSG and ECU memory and installs a new programme. It took about an hour and the car has been transformed as far as I can tell during the 45 mile drive home.

Pickup is now immediate, at roundabouts and road junctions. It no longer dies as I enter my drive and I can squirt across the road into my drive in relative safety now. What I have not yet tried is reversing uphill, but going forward the difference is remarkable. I understand from my conversation with Skoda last week, and today, that this software update has just been finalised and only a handful have so far had the treatment.
