The last couple of days It feels like the car is "off". Bad throttle response, slower, doesn't shift like it used to... I can't put my finger on anything specific but it feels dull. (That's also why I started another topic on how to get started with Forscan.)

Is there perhaps a way to reset adaptations? Like from the ECU and gearbox? Anyone who experienced the same? It's a Euro Raptor with 30k kms. I always tank 95 RON bc I don't notice any difference but I filled it up with 98 last time just to be sure.

Thanks

You have winter blend gas over where you live? When it rotates in here in the States, there is noticeable uptick of people complaining about performance and lagging.

I looked it up and apparently yes, didn't know they also did this with gas and not only diesel! From the start of october so I guess it's possible. I do also notice some weirdness in shifting, but perhaps it's all in my head.
I came from a manual daily to the RR and from the start I didn't like the lag when you're flooring it and it needs to downshift 2 times. You push the pedal to the floor and it goes only like a full second later. It's even kinda dangerous sometimes and it feels more extreme now than before.

Not 100% sure but I think disconnecting the battery?
I'll try it, thanks.
