Avoid fix like a plague  !!!

Noooo

Tell them no and keep telling them every time your car goes in

No, no, NO!!!  If you do leave it with a Dealer for anything, put signs up all over the car saying you don’t want it done, and take photos when handing it over.  They have done the fix many times without the owner’s permission, and refuse to reverse it.  See Facebook page “The Volkswagen Diesel Customer Forum (Emissions Scandal)” for a lot more info.

You can enter your VIN on the Skoda website for your market and it should tell you if it's been done or not. There should be a sticker on the build label in the boot with 23R6 on it as well, but that's down to the technician not being lazy on the day.
