There are a number of software updates, inspections and possible part replacement TSB's.

There is a software update for the transmission and transfer case control module. There is also a TSB for possible replacement of the actual transfer case.

There is another (not sure if it's the same as one from earlier this year) one for the remote range fix.

My 'T' is in the shop today having all of this done. Some who have already had their transmission software updated say they've noticed a difference in how their vehicles shift and they've been very happy.

I get mine back tomorrow morning.... I'm anxious.

I just got my 'T' back from having all the software updates, including the transmission flash.

First let me say, I didn't think the two problems I had with my transmission were anything more than driving a vehicle with drive-by-wire technology and I like to think I'm in tune with what my vehicle is doing.

HOLY CRAP, what a difference the transmission update made. The sensative gas pedal/lurching from a dead stop to accelerating is gone. It's reeeeeeeal smooth now. The slight hesitation I had while accelerating in 3rd gear is completely gone. And the transmission seems much more intuitive. When you jump on the gas, it seems to go right to the gear you need, with no questions asked.

I'm really impressed with the update. My service guy says my Transfer Case has to be replaced - it's on order. He is also checking to see about replacing my tires because they are starting to cup and it may be related to the Transfer Case.
I also have a new amp on order for the sound system because of poor bass output.

Overall, very happy with the updates

Oreddie, I think that "stumble" as you call it is the same thing. I thought when I first got my TOUAREG that I had to adjust my driving style as wel.... having never owned a vehicle that had drive-by-wire technology.

Now that it's most definitely gone.... I now know it wasn't me.

The "VN" code is for the Seatbelt Recall. Mine was checked and I was told I didn't have to have it done.

The other codes you mentioned are all the current open TSB/updates that are needed on the TOUAREGs, so it looks like you're in good shape.
