Thing is Adi were do you stand if, say it's been dyno'd before and after and you want it back to how it was? Don't think audi would do it.Thanks for letting us know as personal I was very interested in all this process especially becquse my car is having just 136 ps and I m worried that I m going to lose some or the nice torque I have at the moment...such a shame, but maybe someone who can have access to a dyno to measure as accurate as possible before and after. Adi
In America they (vw) gave compensation and other things. In the UK f**k all.That s for sure that s why I m so concerned next thing if we end up in having downsize ps or Nm.. We really can prepare£££ to take tuned up the engine... It s just unfair for me to pay for a soft just because Audi been caught up cheating...I ve bought the car in good faith two months ago and now I need to take it down to Audi to "fix it" I ve asked them how?? They said that I m going to get a letter with plenty of explanation.. This was like two weeks ago.. Nothing.. Adi
https://www.goapr.com/support/boxcode.php is what you are looking for I think
Thank you for this....I've been thinking actually, after reading the OBD thread, I'm probably going to remove the fuses. If I do this and tell them there is no way they can inadvertently do it, as the car is only in for bodywork rattles etc issues afterall, They have no reason to plug anything in there.
But my car is due a service in a few months, which I would like to get done with them before the warranty expires, this does worry me that they might update it by mistakes, I take it they have no way of reverting it back if they had done it and I complained?
I agree can't see them in the current climate rising tax on diesels but do think they (the government) will be looking at the emissions and trying some way to get effected cars to have to do it.I dont think it could ever happen, atleast not in the way they propose, they have been saying it for years but have never followed through due to the effect it will have on our economy.
Tankers, taxis, buses, vans etc etc most are diesels, and chosen because of the lower running costs.
It is not feasible to increase tax costs by enough to force people out of diesels, they need to faze them out in a different method, this bull in a china approach will just put costs up stupid high for business running costs and bully/force them into buying new fleets with huge knock on the consumers.. Fuel prices etc.. and the governement know this, but they just have to be seen to be atleast talking about it so green peace dont nail themselves naked to their buildings
I agree it would be quite difficult to do it, but if ever they do come round to an agreement I think we as consumers of small cars will be hit first, as you suggest even having a phased approach, the bigger trucks/buses/vans will have to be phased out/hit last since they would have the most impact.I dont think it could ever happen, atleast not in the way they propose, they have been saying it for years but have never followed through due to the effect it will have on our economy.

What hesitation do you speak of?They'll raise the tax somehow cause these so called low emission £30 tax ain't gonna pay for british roads .
Another forum a few are experiencing a hesitation between certain rpm and a few mpg are lost post update , but they won't put the original map back on whereas any remapping firm will if not satisfied .
"Hi,
I had the emissions recall software update when my Golf (2.0 tdi bmt, 2010, 6 speed manual) was in for it's service last Thursday (they didn't mention they were going to do it). I have found that there is an intermittent lag at +40mph between 1800/2000 revs since this was done. Effectively it feels like the delay you get when you put your foot down in an automatic."
Shame, if audi did do it then you did get a remap, do you think it might be tested again at annual MOT time (similar in Portugal)?I'll have to do it otherwise they will report to Audi that I didn't and I risk having to pay extra taxes for polution the car is doing.
I'll probably just remap it after they update the software
Not sure what Portugal's laws are Gaz personally. Might be different to the UK?Risk paying extra taxes for pollution the car is doing![]()
There is no such legislation , utter nonsense.
I am not sure what MOT is but if it is the techical inspection test they do here every 2 years the worst that could happen is failure (but they as far as I know it wont)
Well, in Portugal every year (on the month you bought the car) you have to pay a bill that is calculated with your car engine size and CO2 emissions. My Audi pays 230€ a year, now if Audi tells my car is doing more Co2 I may end up paying more.
Or probably not but I dont want to take risks with them, besides I was planning in remapping anyway.
I know in France when you buy the car, a Co2 tax is included in the price when you buy it for the first time... I have no idea how it's done in UK
