    That won't have been anything to do with the software change (yes, maybe the slight extra EGR flow in the update possibly was the straw too far), just a coincidence and it would have happened anyway, those 1.6CR EGR valves are failing in their hundreds and it looks like VW have made a contingency for this happening as it is inevitable, the law of averages says that after the fix a random fault is going to occur that gets blamed on the update and its easier to pay the dealers to just fix whatever it is and let it go, less stress arguing the toss. It is horrible for a garage when something like this happens, trying to explain to a customer that what you have done is nothing to do with the new fault, what we call the "Ever Since Club"

    So is the Stop/Start also a random fault as well - what are the odds of two random faults immediately after the fix. I've seem quite a few reports of both - this from Honest John website "VAG only seems to have started on the 1.6 NOx emissions 'fix' this year, which is more complicated with the 1.6 TDI. So far, a lot of disaster stories. Many of the engines almost immediately clogging up the EGR."

    Stop/start can err, start and stop, for all sorts of reasons, honest John is a complete **** with a seriously biased attitude problem against VAG... I stopped contributing on there as he would not lay off the anti VW rhetoric. I will give you an example of random faults, last week I was working on a customers engine and leaned through the window to turn the key and start it and the ignition lock fell to bits in my hand or another double whammy, I was reversing an R32 out of the workshop and the left hand side door mirror would not move, in fact the window would not open or the door unlock, all I had done was the rear brakes! And they are just two I can think of off the top of my head, over 30 years I have had so many examples that I can't remember them all.

    Is that the same Toyota who are involved in the lethal Takata air bag scandal? Or the same Toyota who covered up the deaths with the faulty accelerator pedals or the same Toyota with brake problems on the Pious or the same Toyota who seem to have more recalls than anyone else?

    Left in my 2010 A3 1.6 TDi in on Friday for the emissions update. They applied the fix and then in the process of testing it, triggered a fault on the Engine Gas Recirc (EGR) valve which apparently has some corrosion and would "probably" have failed at some unspecified point in the future. Now looking at over £700 to fix a car that was driving perfectly when I left in in. Now it's stuck on limp mode so I have no choice but to get it fixed. I'm now in the lap of the Audi UK gods as to whether they will "offer to contribute" towards the cost. Anyone else have a similar issue? I feel they should be covering most if not all of the cost: they triggered a fault that was not apparent, corrosion or not. Anyone know what my consumer rights are? Apparently I can't have the car back until the bill is paid - so if Audi don't cover it (I'll hear tomorrow), then I'm between a rock and a hard place - pay a bill I don't think I should have to pay, or go without my car!!!

    you could always take it to another garage to change the egr valve and half the labour cost. ?? incidentally, a 7 year old car is 7 years old now, well out of its 3 year warranty. if you have had all services and any other work done by audi then they might listen , if its been serviced elsewhere then i doubt they will consider it.

    The EGR valve dying when doing the recall is looking like a common issue and I am not surprised, break wind too close to a 1.6 CRTDI and the EGR valve falls over and dies... utterly useless part and an absolute bitch to change.

    Apparently in the test following the software update they deliberately force the EGR valve fully open and fully closed. This seems to have triggered the fault, which may not have become apparent otherwise for some time. Therefore I'll be arguing Audi should be contributing something. It wouldn't have been in at all but for a fix to an illegal defeat device. I'll probably end up paying but as far as I'm concerned they haven't a moral leg to stand on. I'll be arguing it!
