I was REALLY surprised when the SA got back to me and said there's a SIB (24 06 08) for that and they were going to do the software upgrade.

Left the car overnight. They seemed to have some problems with the update but eventually completed it.

I CANNOT believe how much better the 4.8i feels now! Uphill acceleration is so smooth. I think I'm going to be burning gas at even faster rate. My current average MPG is 6.2
haha glad to hear it feels better but that MPG sucks! haha I've been getting around 14.5mpg, but i have to bring my 4.8 in to fix that software upgrade.

Would you guys say that this problem is on the 07' models more than 08?
