Hello ChrisK,
Our dates are pretty much the same... 2009 A3 1.6TDI, went for the update in February. They also said there should was a problem with injectors and it would cost me about 1400€.
Two days after the update it was back in their hands with engine light ON. I picked it up again and the next day it was back at Audi. It went like this for almost two weeks!!!
After that, they promptly apologized and replaced the injectors and some other parts at NO COST for me (This was really strange and got me worried because they wouldn't just offer me 1400€ if they were guilt free)!
It's been little over a month now, and today the car stopped during my commute to work. I was on second gear going up a road and it went completely limp! Had to make a full stop and that was when I realized that there was coming lots of blueish/grey smoke from the rear. As soon as I turned the car off, it stopped.
I turned it on again after 1 or 2 minutes, and everything seemed fine so I was getting it to a safer place to park and call Audi. This is when the most insane coincidence happened... I was now behind a 2004 Audi A4 1.9TDI, and it was going up at 20Km/h and smoking... I did honk so the guy would stop and we could have a chat about it and complain to Audi TOGETHER, but I believe the guy thought I was mad at him and didn't stop, unfortunately.
My car is scheduled for tomorrow, and I'll bring some of these comments with me, and some feedback from that facebook group when they accept my application.
I'm really !Removed! at Audi/VW for trying to get away by making their clients suffer and making them all pay for the same components, when it's clear that we all have the same symptons AFTER THE UPDATE! Don't they know how easy it is for us to do a google search and find about a lot of other people with the same problems?
