Hi all,

 

Bought a 2011 Octy VRS 2 weeks ago and have just entered my VIN number on the skoda check facility website.

 

Turns out my engine is affected as is the Type EA 189 and they will be writing to me to confirm it needs to go in for a software update!

 

The dealer said nothing about this before I bought it so I do feel a bit 'cheated' pardon the pun!!

 

Has anyone else had this issue and anyone have any advice on what I should do? I understand it is only voluntary but I am now paranoid this car is not worth what I bought it for due to this issue.

 

Generally not happy about this at all but then should have probably researched prior to buying it.

 

What implications will this have?

 

cheers all.

Don't panic, take the car in for the rework when prompted. Or don't if you'd prefer not to.

 

Used values aren't being affected despite the internet hype.

Forget it

As above. I wouldn't worry about it. My vRS is also affected but I'm not bothered. It's a great car and the world has moved on.

Mines a TDI mate and is running a stage 1 remap. What am I going to do about the recall? Sod all.
