VW emissions - 2.0 Passat software update - feedback?
Hi I got a letter from VW last month recalling my 2.0 Passat to "fix" the emissions thing. It needs a software update and the letter says
it will not affect MPG or performance at all. It mentions improved combustion technology, whatever that is......
I am sceptical however. Has anyone on here had this software update done or know of someone who has?? Any feedback??
Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

I think you might be correct to be sceptical, with doing some leg work before commiting... After all if it's that simple to fix the emissions
why not do it right to start with  Something must have been lost to meet the emissions...

Do passenger cars use adblue I thought it was only for lorries?
You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a

My Passat does not have the adblue.
I tried a search on-line but can't find any feedback from owners after the update was done.
I will not get the update done at this time.

Theres is a thread on audi-sport.net with feedback from someone reporting that their engine seemed to be working harder and felt a little slower
I haven't had a letter (only just bought my audi) but it is one of the ones and I wont be taking it to audi, unless there is some benefit for me
such as lower tax etc, which I very much doubt.
Not only because of the chance of altered mpg and power etc, but because my time off work is important to me and I have better things to be doing than
waiting for audi to fix their cock up
