There was a post on an Audi forum (might even be on this thread) but basically when involved in deep diagnosis (i.e. beyond basic fault finding etc) they connect to VW HQ and transmit the data back for processing, from what I remembered it takes a while for the file to be compare to what they expect so a TD1 isn't instant and isn't something that happens from usual interaction with the ECU.   Something has to be badly wrong for them to want VW to get their technical bods to investigate and the data upload is the first step.

I've shoved this link up on here several times: http://www.vwroc.com/forums/topic/8351-bulletin-posted-to-audi-dealers-this-morning/

When you consider how many VW's, Audis, SEATs, Skodas and other VAG group vehicles including commercials get plugged into VW's service computers every day all over the world (and the interrogation would have to be quite thorough down through the internet, direct to Wolfsburg) then I'd assume, as Monsta says, it'd have to be something pretty bad for them to dig that deep into the ECU. Unless there is some Wolfsburg wonder computer that can diagnose millions of ECU's in a short space of time? I'd be amazed if this was the case knowing how crap the VW UK website is...  :whistle:

No Bluefin leaves behind a flash count same as any other OBD uploaded flash,  looks like I can read the obd flash count with vcds but can't reset it

I'd definitely say scare mongering. Had my car in for a service, I had flashed it back to stock but picked the car back up with no mention at all of the map.
