So my car (65 reg 2016) is showing it needs emissions update.

When I log on to myAudi, a red banner appears at the top saying that a campaign update is required. It then details this as - "A-Reducing diesel emissions*"

This emissions scandal has really reduced my pleasure of owning this car - I can not see residuals holding up well at all.

Still not sure what to do as there seems to be much evidence suggesting that performance and reliability will be effected. I understand Audi will boost the warranty, but that's not really what I bought the car for.

Still with the chief exec of Audi being arrested yesterday I can see the UK lawyers rubbing their hands in glee.

Mine shows the same message i.e. A-Reducing diesel emissions* followed by XXXX. The message above it does state "Should the code 23Q4/23Q7 be displayed, indicating that your vehicle is affected by the diesel exhaust gas campaign EA189, please check your local Audi homepage on how to proceed www.audi.co.uk. If additional field campaigns are displayed, please contact your authorized Audi Partner". As no such code is displayed (I presume that is what the XXXX field is) I have assumed no update is required: I have confirmed that twice this year with my local dealer ............................

Once all the TDI updates for the SQ5 have been done to your cars, my TSI will have more performance, and economy..........

 

[MrH]

Maybe and then only until the diesel version comes to these shores later this year

And soot

Bloody funny, cough, cough.

Yes mine also showed the code xxxx

If that means it's not required why even flag the message up. Hard not to be a little disappointed in the Audi 'experience' at present.

I hopefully will never get this update. Can Audi sneak it on without telling customers? I have only had an MOT, brake fluid change and some minor warranty work done at Audi since diesel gate started. All servicing done elsewhere. Is there any way of knowing if its been added via VCDS etc?

What is your MPG post fix SteveMak?

Mine went in at the start of the month for the Aux Heater fix, I told them I had taped up the OBD port and didn't want any updates doing as mine is mapped.

What was there response?

What was there response?

No problem Sir and bright pink writing across my paperwork. I know I've now voided what warranty I have left (drivetrain) but the car is a lot more enjoyable since the remap and my philosophy is you've gotta pay to play.

My car was in for a hill hold assist issue 2months ago and I said I don’t want the update done. They say no update for mine yet. Mines a late 2016 SQ5+ if that makes any difference.

I foolishly (potentially) had my 65 plate updated two weeks ago (21st) during the major service... A week later and 1,000 miles further, I've the emission warning light on, 600 (now 400!) miles until the engine will not start again and according to a mate's diagnostic tool, a P20E8 low reductant error - pump pressure is low.

The car is in with Audi now and I'm awaiting the bad news.

It's the timing of the failure so close to the software update that irks me...

Any update?
