Thanks everyone for the advice, I will see what happens when I take it in. I have been printing off useful info on forums that I can take with me when I go. On the link you sent Gareth it says that remapping will get rid of the update. Has anyone tried this? If it does work, i may spend the extra and get it done (may work out cheaper in the end).

Hi All I bought my A3 6 months ago, a car I had admired for years and i was so excited to finally get one. 6 weeks ago it went for its emissions fix. At the weekend it went into LHM on the motorway. The AA diagnosed an EGR failure. I have called AUDI and my car is going in to be looked at in 2wks. They said if it is related to the emissions fix they will replace. I am really worried in case they come back and say it is nothing to do with the fix and I am landed with a hefty bill. I have also noticed that it seems like a fan is running after I turn the engine off, this is something that never happened before. I have spoken to an Audi Specialist garage who said they are unable get hold of EGR Valves as they are all going to Audi. If I have to pay for this myself I can't even go to an Audi Specialist to save a bit of cash, putting approx 300 on the bill. I wondered if anyone had any tips on how I can argue the point if Audi do say it's not related to the fix? I dont know anything about engines so im feeling a bit helpless. I didn't realise it was a voluntary fix, I wish I hadn't bothered! Thanks
