RVU 24W4 - ECU update

12/20/11 an RVU was released to update software in the ECU for rough running behavior and cold start issues at certain conditions (under high electric power consumption).

This is not safety related so it's not a recall, you will not get letter in the mail. When the dealership runs your vin # it will pop up saying it's open for your vehicle.

In terms of MK6's this applies to a vin range for both 2010's and 2011's with the CBTA and CBUA 2.5 liter.

As I am sure the question is bound to come up.

Will this erase my tune?

Thanks for the info! Shall we just call our local dealership to run our VIN to see if we are affected? In my case, you. :laugh:

Just posted my experience with this update in another thread

The purpose was to solve DSG jerkiness, not rough running as stated up top...

Beware!

First of all rabbit don't have DSG transmission. just the regular 6 speed slushbox which is not that bad for dd.

I did have the reflash last week. I have a manual transmission and the car feels the same as before. Car is running very good.

I find it weird since a reflash of the engine ecu has nothing to do with the transmission. I could be wrong , but the auto transmission has a seperate module.

If you have a problem bring it to the dealer so they can check it and ask them if the reflash modifies something to the auto transmission.

I have an dual clutch automatic transmission without a torque converter... is that a DSG?

Yes, they reflashed both modules in my car... possibly 24W4 has one option for manual transmissions, and a second option including a transmission update.

I will go back to the dealer that did the work under warranty. I know they did one additional mechanical adjustment, but as far as I understand, the shift speed is programmable, not controlled mechanically. They can hopefully tell me more about the transmission software update.

Looks like I am in the wrong forum... noob mistake - My 2009 rabbit is a MKV

Other car forums I am in organize by marque, and not by generation across a car maker's entire stable.

ryan if you still have my VIN, run it and let me know... my guess is if it wipes out my tune they will put it back on there for me?
