Gearbox issue or not??

Hi .
Just wondering if anyone else has the same annoying problem as my 2.2 dti auto.

Just had the box reconditioned after the dreaded coolant leak, but have noticed that someimes it tends to stay in low gear a bit too long. This seems to happen going uphill. Even when i press the peddle down it still doesnt change. Not only is this usuing more fuel but I am constantly driving to 'slow' uphills with the engine revving away.

Could this be a software pb? anyone knows if the software needs to be rebooted now and again like a PC??

Thanks for any advice.

Same on my GSi. As the box is "intelligent" (it can't read my mind yet), it adapts to your driving pattern (what a load of boll_cks). Disconnect the -ve side of the battery for half an hour to re-set the ECU and drive it like you've nicked it for a week. The box soon learns that you mean business!

EDIT - you can re-programme the box but a job for VX stealers on Tech2. Might be worth the money though just to make sure the electronics are up to date.
