Suggestion
You could always prompt a re-learn of the gearbox DME by disconnecting the battery for an extended period of time (30 mins, possibly less) to reset the memory (don't forget to put the key in the ignition to position 1 to avoid alarm deafness).
Leading evidence: 'Disconnect battery' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Disconnect battery' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
The box will have a cold/winter setting that is slower to change between gears and moves up the gearbox earlier (with be in a higher gear than normal for a set speed).
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

loving my 98 c2 tip in the snow (unlike 97 sl500 which is trying to kill me !)
but, how can I get the `sportier` of the 5 gearbox maps to kick in when better conditions return ( april?) Seems to take a lot of welly for ages before it decides to hold a gear longer. Kickdown is still fantastic but not always advisable in everyday driving.....
regards

The Tiptronic gearbox has FIVE dynamic modes.
Ie they self-select depending on conditions.
The box will have a cold/winter setting that is slower to change between gears and moves up the gearbox earlier (with be in a higher gear than normal for a set speed).
These are either mechanical sympathy interlocks or in the case of higher gear torque reduction, keeping you out of trouble.
The problem is, until the car detects a higher starting temp or has an extended run, it will maintain the winter setting or similar (ie at the opposite end of the spectrum to the sporty settings).
The system is analysing average usage patterns the whole time, so it will revert to sporty when it is ready.
You could always prompt a re-learn of the gearbox DME by disconnecting the battery for an extended period of time (30 mins, possibly less) to reset the memory (don't forget to put the key in the ignition to position 1 to avoid alarm deafness).
But at the moment that would be pointless as the car will sense from scratch it is still bloody cold and start in winter mode again!
well you could just slip it into manual mode and wait for the car to try to kill you
as mine did near gatwick a few days ago hehe
i thought it would be a good idea to hold it in a lower gear (3rd) as we edged along but when you loose traction things get interesting in the snow
but the look on the face of the guy in the car next to me i was overtaking was priceless as the wheels span up and i passed him while gently tankslapping down the road!
dont wish for too much too soon
