He did not seem to think it was necessary for my Jan 2008 build TSI...

(formerly TSI GUY)
First car: 1972 White Super Bug S
First Golf: MY08 Candy White Golf GT Sport TSI DSG
Now: MY13 Candy White Golf VI 2.0 TDI DSG (yes, I've come over to 'the dark side'...)
I had my 15K service in April and part of that was the DSG software update which was supposed to fix its poor operation (in my instance). I did however note that the fuel economy was improved according to the MFD. Typically my route to work shows at around 6.8-7.3 l/100km (depending on my mood) but after the service was around 6.5-7.0 and if I tried could get it down to 6.2-6.3 on the same 40km commute. I know that the MFD is not accurate when compared to checking actual fuel used vs mileage but it still shows a relative improvement which is noticeable at the bowser
Also, my car came with the latest software at the time (Mar 08 build) so the 24M3 update doesn't apply according to the service department.
I'd like to see one, Polar...
Just put the non believers on ignore
This has been discussed before, the Dynolicious software isn't that accurate which is even admitted by the creators of the software, the problem is that the sensor in the iphone has to be calibrated by the user and any slight errors during calibration make a big difference as does the location of the iphone in the car.
Temperature is another issue as it needs to be calibrated at the same temperature as the interior of the car at the time it's used as small fluctuations in temperature will create bid differences in the results.
It's not about being a non believer, it's about looking at the facts.
Fact is I'd still like to see a before and after in the same position in the same car using the same calibration.
It is a good indicator of any specific % change.
Placement aside, all the other stuff affects an in-ground dyno, and is probably a reason there are so many bun fights over any dyno results.
