Is that the engines updated after the VW emissions scandal?
Reason I'm asking is that I thought the update was only applied a couple of years after they'd stopped selling them - wouldn't have thought they could have bought them new and had the update a *few months* later?
Anyway, I've got the 1.6 that was due the update, but after the reports of problems decided not to get it done.
In fact I'd decided not to get the update even before they'd finalised it, because I'd read people in the know anticipating possible problems, and it doesn't affect MoTs etc, and by the time I'm done with the car won't affect its resale value.
And even if I sold it today I think VW would still do the update for free if the customer requested it.
