Hey Guys,

first post from my side. A big thank you for running this forum...

I am hoping to find out how others deal with the software update (Emission problem)/ VW class action.

I am from Brisbane and had my 2012 Passat in for its 90.000km service last month.

As many others, I picked up a totally different car. They applied the 23R7 update without even asking.

The car has a totally different power distribution. And not only that, it is less power/torque. After five years driving this car I am completely frustrated with this issue. I am just waiting for the actual problems to start, ie EGR & DPF.

All the best and again, thank you for providing this forum platform. I have been one of four Forum-Moderators in the www.ninetowners.com forum for many years, so I know what it takes to run a large world-wide forum and to appreciate having a platform like this available.

Thank you!
