| Is it possible to alter throttle response? |
|
One of the main gripes I have had with our D4 is the total lack of throttle response.
It has never seemed to be as drivable or pick up as easily as our old D3.
On a return trip to Cardiff today, I had a play with the terrain settings and tried it in 'sand' mode.
What a revelation! Throttle much more resonsive, in fact was like the car I always wanted - although would not drop into top gear in sand mode.
It raises the question, is it possible to programme the throttle to be more responsive in normal mode?
By way of a remap maybe?
This would then give me my perfect car! LOL

Agree with Russell above,
We have a D4 at work and it's so much more effortless than the D3
Admittedly mine is a manual 3 but I've driven enough auto D3's and several D4's to know which one I would prefer to have under the bonnet. Have u driven any other D4's to offer a comparison. Only dead fish go with the Flow !
