Just thought I would post some links to recent motoring press articles with regard to the emissions recall. Various issues are occurring to vehicles after the update has been completed. Info on the recall https://www.whatcar.com/news/volkswagen-delays-emissions-fixes/ https://www.whatcar.com/news/volkswagen-emissions-need-know/ Recall causing breakdowns http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/volkswagen/92893/vw-emissions-scandal-recalls-compensation-is-your-car-affected-latest-news https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/volkswagen-denies-its-dieselgate-fix-causes-breakdowns Vw Tiguans loosing power https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/volkswagen-emissions-scandal/8-reports-of-volkswagen-tiguans-losing-power-after-ea189-emissions-fix/ Engines loosing fuel economy https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/autocar-test-shows-worse-economy-after-volkswagen-diesel-fix https://www.carthrottle.com/post/volkswagens-diesel-emissions-fix-lowers-fuel-economy-claims-real-world-test/ If you have an affected vehicle then in my opinion I would not have the emissions recall done. Especially if your car is remapped or modified. Also a lot of cars that go in for recalls are being flagged up with egr/egr cooler issues which have to be fixed before the recall can be carried out. This can cost over £1000 to fix! I speak from experience as I worked as a service adviser at Volkswagen. Also the recall/update is NOT a legal requirement and does not effect your vehicle tax. I hope this is useful for some of you :) Cheers steve
