It's interesting you mention the paddle shifters....my car always ran great after it got the latest update UNTIL I started shifting with the paddles again. It was like clockwork every time. This is one inconsistent car.

I doubt resetting the ecu weekly would do any damage based on what others have stated before on the forum.

I had the same issues as well but did the throttle calibration after ECU reset and it's fine. Also, my car needs about 250 miles of driving after a reset to feel good again. Before that it feels sluggish, it just need time to relearn. Also do your ECU reset via the pedal method, seems to work better for my car. Good luck!

Cleaning throttle bodies helps, but the problem sometimes appears where it goes into a funky mode and doesn't accelerate strongly and the brakes get very touchy. Yes, it's as if the brakes were dragging, but it eventually clears up. It's almost like the VDC or parking brake is on. I doubt it's stuck calipers, brake wear has always been reasonable, but I'll also check the rotor temp to see what they look like.

What's a good temperature range to target?

Then one day, all these symptoms would be gone and the car is back to being wonderful again.
