Do we need to get software updates for the emissions issue...? I thought it was just for diesel cars?

Cheers, it's going back into VW next week for them to have a look at it. Mind it doesn't help that he drives it like a "Vicar going to church on a Sunday!" fast driving is in excess of 50  but no faster than 60  :smiley:

Despite two letters from VW, I'm still waiting for mine to be sorted.

Not sure what difference it will make but fingers crossed it doesn't create a problem.... :whistle:

He's a lucky lad, quoted £1200 to do the job and vw will foot 90% of the bill.
