Emissions update

[waa]

I've had a call from audi ,there wanting to update the emissions software.
The question is whether or not to let them do this?

[Alucidnation]

Indeed.

Try Google or other similar search engines and have a read.

HTH.

I wouldn't personally, if the car is running fine now why have it done?

Indeed, from reading on forums there doesn't seem to be much positive being said by anyone who's had it done, with stories of less power, poor running, reduced mpg and various parts failing.

I certainly wouldn't be doing it if I had an 'affected' vehicle.

I received a letter last week from Skoda concerning my 2012 Octavia vRS 2.0CR DSG. The letter enclosed a pre=paid card for me to send back if I did NOT want the emissions software update. Did so and it seems that I will receive no more reminders.

Do not have it done.

No benefit or gain to you at all.

I'd always planned to have mine remapped, so got Skoda to do my vRS 170 CR whilst in for a service.

Hard to say whether it was in my head as I was expecting it to be bad, but it felt sluggish (no diesel estate jokes please) compared to before. What was $hit was the noise it made around 2k rpm. A gruff burst of revs from the engine. Horrible noise (again, it's a diesel I know, but noisier than before).

Then I took it to Revo and have never looked back.

I think that question is answered thanks.
