VW Emission software fix

DMS Tuning. +50bhp and 100nm torque on most diesel engines. I've had 2 Mercs done. Makes a massive difference to driveability and does not reduce mpg as it makes the engine more efficient.

I,m takeing my Passat in tomorrow for this "fix" so we will see.I dont use it for towing though.

Presumably if you don't have the alteration then it will be picked up at the next MOT. My Passat goes in shortly but as the engine mapping has more flat spots than a 50p I can't see it making much difference. 

Very much doubt it. The MOT emissions test bears no resemblance whatsoever to the laboratory test that governs the "quoted" emissions for a new car. 

Why would the MOT be a problem? This issue has no bearing on the MOT or vice versa, the MOT hasn't changed and presumably it passed last time? Amongst my colleagues with VW diesels the 2 who have had the 'fix' both have problems. I am looking in to the legal action being started in the UK to see if it will cover fixing the fix......

Just had mine done not towed yet but no noticeable change in the way it drives. Was informed that it may use more adblue but the next five refills will be carried out free of charge by any VW garage also given free service and goody box for any inconvenience.

I think the legal action in today's news is more akin to the US class action, which, may result in an option for VW to buy back vehicles or compensation paid out to recover any increased devaluation at resale. Either way, it's going to cost VW dear if the UK legal action is successful, not only financially but also further damage to their reputation.

VW have already removed sales of all diesel cars in the US, can't see that happening over here but, you never know.

I got the car back this morning and it seems fine there does,nt seem to be anything different with how it runs.The car had been washed and they give you a box of freebies as a curtosy plus paperwork for your service records.

As an aside on this topic, Vag are finding there are less owners in the US selling their cars back, a much bigger than expected majority are happy to keep their cars. In addition Ford and Mazda amongst others are introducing additional diesel models into that market so maybe it is not the death of diesel some are predicting..... 

Just had my 2.0TDi Skoda 'fixed' this morning, had a chat with the service manager about some of the comments on forums. he told me, no problems reported back to him on cars that have had the fix with the dealership.

Away in the morning with the caravan for a few days will get it up to 60mph on the A1M (weather permitting) and make judgement then. He did say if any problems, then I have to contact him.

Got a nice goody bag for the inconvenience, Skoda umbrella, mug, pen and a shopping trolley token!! plus they give the car a wash and topped up the screen wash.
