I have had the "upgrade" for the emmisions problem on an A1Sportback 1.6l DCi 63 plate.
I think I have problems with poorer fuel consumption ( 5 to 10% ish) and low revs control of the engine. The car does not appear to be as smooth as it was, sometimes "snatchy" when applying power at low revs and not as responsive accelarating from lower revs. It is not always noticeable and so difficult to put a finger on. Sometimes driving in traffice it is not always clear that something didnt perform as well as it should. I had a time of what I would describe as 2 "missfires" at 50 on an open road fully warmed up separated by 3mins each, as a clear example.
I am looking for what was actually done to the engine and any feedback from other owners please.
