- I was recently had my '90 Passat in the shop (for the 4th time) for
- transmission problems. When I was driving with the Service Manager and
- explaining the situation I asked what had been done the last time my
- car was in for the same problem. He said that the transmission
- computer memory had been "reset". I asked him to explain what "reset"
- ment. He explained that after a while, the computer "remembers" your
- driving habits and adjusts its shifting patterns to take better
- advantage of them. This is above and beyond either Economy or Sport
- modes.
-
- Is this fact or fiction??
