Sorry what update is this? I had an inspection service a couple of weeks ago and they mentioned nothing
AdBlue Software Update from Dealership.
Hey guys,
Got the recall for the dreaded update which I filed safely a month or so ago lol. Question, what happens if I refuse it.
My van is in for an inspection service on Saturday & I'm going to tell them I don't want it doing, but any ideas on comeback on this. Tbh, I have vw warranty till January then an additional 2 years dealer
Just wondering as you do?

I’m in the same boat, expecting my service reminder to pop up soon and really want to avoid the update. I have a horrible feeling that whatever you tell them they’ll do it anyway. Would they be able to say that you wouldn’t be covered by warranty if you didn’t have it?
Weirdly, I had mine booked in for an Adblue fault so fully expected them to do the update.
I asked them about the recall on the fuel pipe, the dodgy rusty door seal and the Adblue update and was prepared to say to them I didn’t want it (to see whether they’d agree to not install).
They knew about the fuel pipe recall but had evidently nothing listed about the Adblue update. Whether that was true or not I’ll never know.
My Adblue error cleared so I’ll cancel the appointment today.
102BHP Eu6 BTW.

I didn’t know about the recall for fuel pipe, I’ve had nothing

Type your reg in, search, and then click right at the bottom of the page.
it only affects a small batch, but mine is within the range.
edit: just checked and the batch is larger now.

Thanks, never knew you could check for recalls on there. Nothing outstanding for mine so all ok
Why would you not want the adblue software update??.. be cause of the slight increase in adblue usage?
No recalls listed for mine... my18 204 t32 dsg.

Not the Adblue per say, as it costs buttons, but you never know if it also includes a tweak to the duration of EGR use to reduce NOx also, or any other changes to reduce emissions.
I’m sure someone on here said their fuel economy was poorer after the update also.

Looks like I could be the Guniea Pig for this scenario then lol, wish me luck on Saturday. I really dont want an update!! STAMPS FEET lol
Wonder if they will do the update anyway & not say anything, getting away with the free adblue, or will they say I have no choice, so many outcomes :-(

me & you both, (touches wood) over 10k miles since I bought Elvis & he's doing me proud!! Why risk it??
Well,
Had Elvis in for his service this morning. When I dropped him off they said there was an outstanding recall, mmmm says I, whats that then. They proceeded to say what it was, higher adblue useage due to more frequent regens with a software upgrade but MPG should be the same, free adblue etc so me being me said what happens if I dont want it. Thats fine, no affect on warranty etc, just sign here to say you dont want it doing today. I says, so what happens if in 6 months I decide enough people have been guinea pigs & I do want it doing, fine says him, just give us a ring & we can book it in
So, not had it done, waiting for the great @Loz to report back on his findings after a while lol
Cheerio, me!
