Yes its a common problem especially with the 1.6 tdi engine

I got mine sorted it turned out to be a faulty egr cooler audi did it for free and gave me a courtesy car for the 3 days they had mine very pleased with the outcome car was like new when I got it back

All I got was a 12 month warranty on the remap they did for the emissions fix I replaced the maf myself and have a code reader that still brings up the maf code also an egr code I'll get back onto audi about it last time I tried they quoted me £60 for a diagnostic check to see what they could find but I don't see why I should pay

Hello All, I took my 2011 audi a1 1.6 tdi for the emissions fix in April of this year (2017) it was in perfect working order before I let them butcher it. Within 3 miles of driving it away the engine light came on and the glow plug light started blinking. I pulled over restarted the car and it was ok but it happened again before I got home. I rang audi immediately they said they would call me back the next day which they failed to do anyway 2 months later in June of this year it went into limp mode it' been like this ever since. I had a diagnostics done by a firm who deal with audi,Skoda,vw etc they said it was the egr valve and cooler also possibly (maf sensor which I replaced at a cost of £118) so it couldnt be the maf because its brand new. Anyway they quoted me £540 to get the egr valve and cooler sorted this is money i dont have i bought the car at 5 years old and still have 3 and half years to pay it off. Of course audi claim its not tge fix thats caused it but the car was perfect before they touched it im sick to death of this heap of crap im now stuck with its causing me unwanted stress and im literally throwing my money away im at my whits end with it I should have stuck with the old banger I had before buying a "reliable well built car" what was a dream to drive is now depressing every single second I'm in it. They shouldn' have lied in the 1st place I think they should repair it for free

I had my emissions recall done in April 2017 the car was perfect before I took it. They did whatever they did to it then gave my car back. I drove it about 2 miles when the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree the engine light on constant even still today also the coil light kept blinking. Now we're in September 2017 and car has been in limp mode for 4 weeks now. So far I've had a new maf sensor and a new battery still in limp mode though. Audi have broken my car I still have over 3 years to pay it off and it's out of warranty although the emissions work is still under warranty as they give you 1 years warranty on it. Should audi remove the emissions remap for free as I don't want it and would like it returned to how it was.
