We have had a few responses from members who have taken their car for recall and unfortunately it is not favourable.
Most have complained about EGR faults, one or two have said about idle speed and air con faults but worth searching through the forum posts to see what you find.
It is entirely up to you as to whether you take it in for the recall and I believe it is a voluntary recall and not a safety recall.
I have been issued with two recall notices for my Honda...both airbags on separate occasions...willing for them to replace the drivers bag but not the passenger bag as would probably involve removing the dashboard and don't want to get squeaks and rattles from where it hasn't been put back right or just the case that it has been removed and refitted after sitting in the same position for 9 years.
Let us know what you decide
Cheers Trevor
I took my 2010 Q5 in to have it done 5 weeks ago. It lost 20-25% of its fuel economy and now has uneven power delivery when the engine is under load. it has totally changed the character of the car and ruined it. Audi have had it back twice and can't fix it. I am still without it and I am not optimistic that I will ever get it back as it was before the EA189 update was done. DON'T DO IT!!
