Good evening all, I would like to say many thanks to all who have responded to this recent recall/update regarding the EA189 fiasco , especially those who are/ have been affected quite significantly/financially and emotionally. Although it is rather a large rain cloud hung over the VAG camp I would like to say I am extremely happy and still really enjoy my daily driving experience in my A6 .I wouldn't trade it for another vehicle . (Other than maybe a RS6 Avant) 😊😊😊👍👍

Funny really i've just been watching how Audi hand build and manually tig weld the R8 , I wonder if the same team were involved in the software for this ruddy cheat!!! . It would explain the full retraining each person has to go through every 6 months to validate they have the same standard/tolerance they have been for the last 6 yrs welding together that R8 with regards to this hoodwink of a fix. Just a thought really 😉😉😉✌

Good news buddy, I believe you meant Stealership not Dealership. Common spelling mistake that you know😅😅. 170 it's a good gain and right from the go . Be a good idea to start looking on Blackcircle tyres for some new fronts soon then!!!.👍👍

Hi Andy, my brothers 330d BMW has a Celtic Tuning eco remap and it is although a 6 pot lump which runs smooth and quiet as standard feels like it could crawl up the side of my house and returns 60+ mpg on a run , so I guess that answers that question then .170 bhp up to 200 ish if desired and quieter and smoother for the Avant is my next road to travel.I guess that's your train of thought!!!.

Hi Andy, cheers for the reply . Yes this is one massive !Removed! up of volcanic proportions, not only has their been an illegal operation performed on all affected EA189 engines but VAG somehow think by carrying out a less than appropriate fix which is causing some very close/near misses with accidents for some customers they think they can abdicate responsibility for their fowl up . And a remap on a vehicle with 70k on the clock will probably cause a DMF and clutch issue also.Anyway enough honking , it's a great car as are all members cars here so yes a remap is the answer is guess .

Just a quick extra add from my last post, a vehicle in good serviceable order is essential.

Hi all, i'm quite new to this club and have noticed that their seems a large number of EA189 emission update/fix/cheat problems from a varied amount of Audi models, like yourselves i've also been tricked into this update back in February and so far have only suffered a slightly less refined running engine ,! No failures yet !! However I have run a standard VAG com diagnostic with no faults .I have called Audi uk. to discuss what they intend to do returning our A6 tdi 170 Le mans back to it's previous quiet and refined state and the Audi employee replied with "We can plug your vehicle in to check but! if not fault is found you will be charged £60!!! ,This is all we can offer" . I'm still chewing over this and have thougot about a basic economy remap which may cost £250-£400 but will kill many birds with one shot . Remove this dreaded software fowl up , improve linear power delivery, possibly better mpg, increase power as a by product and save based on feedback on this subject £1500 ish from EGR/ DMF replacement . Just some food for thought maybe. Let your insurance company know though if you have this remap done.

Hi again Steve , judging by the way the ea 189 emissions update is wrecking all manner of things on various Vag vehicles ,the sooner the better I think. Our Avant is full Audi history with 70k on the clock so other than a DMF and clutch which is the usual fail after remap it should be all good !!😕😕.

Hi Steve Q, thank you for your response and kind words on our A6 , it took about 9 months to find !!. Once I've figured out how to i'll post some pics . Would a economy remap make for a good investment and which company ? I've heard Celtic Tuning are reliable.

Good evening everyone, i've just joined and am the proud owner of a 2010 A6 Avant Le Mans 2.0 tdi 170 , I have owned now for 8 months. Generally a great car just the usual DPF sensor and Air con Sensor failures other than that great motoring . Also had the Emission 189 update done !!! , since this was done the car runs a little less refined , mostly low down combustion rattle !! it goes when DPF regen is active , it drives as before the Emission update was done . Anyone else experience this .( Luckily no EGR failure or associated parts) !!.
