Thread: D3/RRS Pregnant Pause at Roundabouts

MY13 D4 3.0l LP

Mine does exactly this, regardless of the current temp.

I have about 4 round-abouts to get thru on the way home, and unless I get a straight run thru it, or stop totally, I will get the "pause"

It IS worse in the mornings, especially when I have to do a dash across the main road.

Just wondering, have people advised their dealers of this issue, and if so, do they call it a "feature" or "thats just the way it is"?

At the wrong time, it could be bloody dangerous...

There is a software update for this. Check DISCO3.CO.UK - Index

That link just takes you to the Disco3 Home page.

Do a search.

I should have added, that I have found a "work-around" of sorts.

If I drive the car in S (speedy???) mode, for the 20km trip home from work, the next time I drive it in D, it seems to be better.

So, to me at least, it appears that the adaptive transmission is adapting, but not staying...

I have the same issue with my D4 TDV6 Se MY11. What sort of cost am I looking at to get the software patch updated? (which sounds like the true way to fix the problem?) I've used Alto in Sydney previously though happy to use elsewhere (tho guessing main dealer is only place that has the software patch tool thing)

The fix has been available for some months now; I've had it (and an earlier one) applied, and not only is the problem no longer present, it changes down much more smoothly too.

Thanks for that.

Good excuse to drop it into the dealer and get all the niggly little issues sorted and this one as well.
