Emissions update

Since having this, cheat recall applied I've had no end of issues, my car now tells me release parking brake when I blip the throttle, not that it's in gear at that moment. Now they've related the glow plugs, yet the same problems occur ed again a few months later and I'm told the whole fuel system is corrupted and needs replacement. Corrupted with what they won't say but today it's gone into exactly the same limp mode, starts flashing the glow plug light then the engine management, this may well disappear again tomorrow but isn't a software issue, yeah right.

Why did you have the recall applied ?

Why did you have the recall applied ?It was sent on DVSA paperwork with no mention of being voluntary, basically I was fooled by a manufacturer who had hidden the cheat in the first place, 1.1 million cars and 1% affected, roughly 17000 cars.

Maybe you can reflash it with the older firmware?

I think I have read that dealers are unable to restore the firmware for legal reason and the inability to get the original/old code from the manufacture once done (I may be wrong)
