Exactly the point Gareth... and guess what...? My daughter has a 1.6 tdi VW Golf and I've told her not to bother with the 'fix'. Hey-ho

Had the 'diesel-gate' emissions software fix last year on my multitronic 140 tdi that has 48k miles on the clock. Since then I'm convinced that the lag in pulling away is worse (e.g. Pulling away at a roundabout) , and a lot of my hill starts end up in stall! is it a coincidence or just that the weaknesses of the multitronic are becoming more noticeable as it gets older......? BTW fuel consumption around town is worse (it never was brilliant) but on long runs I still get 48-52 mpg which isn't too bad.
