Been suffering a little throttle delay recently.
It happens on pick-up from low speed, maybe at roundabouts, pulling away from petrol forecourts, that sort of thing. It's intermittent too, which makes it doubly annoying since you can never replicate it when you have a technician with you trying to diagnose the fault.
My first thinking was it was something to do with stop/start, coasting protocol, traction control or one of myriad of other electronic gizmos that are the bane of modern transport. However, my Porsche Centre seems to think it relates to the PDK software and has booked it in for a software upgrade - and it must be quite a serious step too because the car is needed for a whole day since engine management is also integrated into the process.
BTW, they're giving us a Panamera on loan for 2 days too whilst the work is carried out! [

My question is, is this something other owners have experienced and, if so, did the upgrade resolve any problems there were having or did the vehicle feel any different after it was done?
For my part, I'm expecting to get the Macan back with eye-watering, bolt-shearing power to such an extent that any aspirations I may have had for a Ferrari 488 GTB will now fade into insignificance. [
