Ok my Rocco tdi 140 is going in for 2 recalls ABS and emissions softwear update I have read about a lot of TDI owners having problems after a recall with failing EGR loss of power poor MPG and DPF issues.
Has anyone experienced this ?
And should I not have the emissions sorted any advice would be greatly appreciated

Re: Recalls
Even although VW now offer warranty on certain components after the emissions update, I personally don't see the point of taking the risk. The update is a compromise and despite VW saying there is no negative impact, I just don't believe them. The update offers no improvement but offers some risk. I can't understand why anybody would want to get it done unless you are desperate for a free VW thermal mug, assuming you still receive one for getting the update done. Just my opinion of course.
Even the ABS recall hasn't went smoothly for some customers with some having to go back after a few weeks to have the ABS ECU replaced. However, as this recall is safety related I would definitely get it done.
