Yep, mine is affected too.  Don't know what this means in terms of the affect the changes will make to the car?  I'm concerned.

What even is the incentive to get the as yet unknown work done? I'd wait for a lot more detail.

Mis sold TDi - they can get you compensation  :grin: :laugh:

Mines effected - biggest gripe will be a drop in MPG - espeically when I have got 23ks worth of fill drain refill figures to prove it if it happens.

Not going to start recalls until Jan - looks like they will be RE moting mine as its due in December when the warranty runs out  :rolleyes:

If it's out of warranty why even bother with the updated software?
In fact if it's out of warranty why is anyone even running it without a stage 1 remap????  :whistle:

Yeah I won't be getting it done straight away, if at all.  Won't be able to take it the dealers for servicing anymore as I bet they'll update it automatically.

Mine's affected too.

Wonder if it'll be a quick software update or whether VW will offer something more?

I read that resale values of the "affected" cars is has been affected by c.3%. I'm not planning on selling mine until next year so we'll see how it all pans out.  :rolleyes:

Both our cars are affected my Tiguan and the  wifes GTD .
I am same as above posters will wait and see what the cure will do to the mpg and power and also trade in price .
I see the big VW boss is blaming two techs for fitting the cheats  and says the management didn't know about it ,,, Bollocks the two techs didn't fit all cars so they did know ....

I bet you have to sign a waiver when the car is updated to the effect that you won't pursue compensation etc.
