    It's difficult to work out from what you're saying, but are you suggesting the gearbox is troublesome, or the engine's power delivery? If you're implying that it's the gearbox, you could try renewing the transmission oil. New oil can work wonders in an auto.

    Do you mean when you use the kick back function? pedal flat to the floor?
    If so mine does the same (2.2 direct) I put pedal straight to floor it kinda pauses, drops rpm then power kicks in. Kinda like a 2/3 second delay from putting foot down to power kicking in.
    Tried the same in triptronic and it doesnt do it. Main dealers had a look at my gearbox and advised all was ok and that it was normal (confirmed by an indie gearbox specialist too). I was also advised by both to not have oil changed unless there was a clunking between P,R,N,D and that it was a visual check at 40k for condition of gearbox.

    Hope that helps dude.

    Its funny you mention about an update for the gearbox. When I mentioned on here back in december that my car was going in for a full service sum1 kindly pm'd me to ask the dealership to update my software and gearbox and a free wash n vac. When I went and said about the gearbox update he laughed and said sum1 has been pulling my leg and that no such thing exists.
    I might phone round a few more dealers and send an email to vx about it. But yeah dude mine kinda does the same, i took car out to see this is what ot did. Got to 30mph then kick down there was a 2second pause revs go slightly up then drops then power kicks in. So from foot down to power kicking in it took 3 seconds. Tried again in triptronic and smooth as a bald mans head lol.
