VCDS reset would definitely be worth it. The one I do (read about it on here or another forum) is with the key out, floor the throttle, key in and turned until dash lights come on (don't start the engine). Hold accelerator for 30 seconds.

This should reset the software. I don't know if it's a full reset like VCDS but it is free and only takes 30 seconds. It may surprise you ... Certainly did me! My friend has done his car and also his mum's A3. She found it was lagging badly when pulling away, made no end of difference.

Are you sure this works? I've read threads on other forums saying it doesn't. Tried it on mine and didn't notice any difference in drivability

It think holding the pedal down reset is the placebo effect
