Most places don't know about the adaptation drive.
On their VAS computer or VCDS on a laptop, one can see the adaptation values that the gearbox has for various operations, these are mostly advances or retards of solenoid operations in milliseconds.
The drive is quite difficult to do successfully in the UK - I did it several times with the wife on my car for a hard shift bump sensation shifting into 1st gear when coming to a stop.
It probably needs a runway or at least going into the country at night, as one has to put the autobox in adaptation mode and go backwards and forwards many times on a trailinh throttle up to 30mph and hold for so many seconds and then up to 60 or was it 80 with a super ligt throttle letting speed build up over a considerable distance. I found it virtually impossible to complete due to people pulling out, slow traffic, speed limits, bends, people coming up behind when I need to go slow etc..
In the end, we went into country lanes at 11pm.
It got rid of my problem 100% on the third attempt. I'll try and find the instructions.
