Just picked up my 64 plate Oct III DSG Scout from Skoda dealer and going through the paperwork I see an update 23w9 was applied while it was being serviced/prep'd for handover. I called their service dept and they said it was to do with engine ECU but on the internet skodacommunity.de suggests its to do with changing the lambda probe for the 184PS TDI engines.

 

I'm wary of changes to throttle back performance to tweak the emissions.

 

Anyone know what what the 'Action 23w9' really  is? ..... or where I can find out.

 

Thanks for any info.  Peter

@Hermit - Explicitly ask the Service Manager or Dealer Principal at the supplying dealership what work was done under "Action 23w9".

Thanks for the prompt Ken.

 

I've been in to Furrows, local dealer, and asked directly and their response was very helpful.

The 'action 23w9' is a recall to replace a batch of lamda probes which will have resulted in worse mpg.

 

While there he agreed to book me in to repair a non-working seat release lever in the boot under extended warranty but not to replace the flaking chrome of the dsg shift (trim isn't covered after the first year) - though he did suggest taking it up with supplying (recent) dealership.

 

I've always found Furrows really helpful and informative over the last 9 years I've dealt with them and its a key reason why I've traded in to another Skoda.
