Yea, it's not knowing what happened in that first 1500km... but you never do unless the car is brand new... It was on a flexible rather than fixed service plan (I guess the owner thought he was to do > 10K a year), but the dealer did an oil change anyway, which after 18 months is just as well. I will be doing > 10K a year ;-)

Hey guys, Today was the day....the Emission software update. My Audi Service Centre had my car this morning for the update. When booking-in, I was advised that to-date, my Service Centre had not received any bad feedback from this new update. Dropped my car off at 07:30am, then at 10:30am, got a call back from the Service Centre saying my car was ready. Had the following carried out - Emission Update, Air-Conditioning Update and renew of the cabin pollen filter. It is too early to know what difference this Emissions update had done to my car but driving home, the car did seem to drive smoother and was actually a pleasure to drive but being Automatic, think I was comparing it more to the manual A3 TFSI courtesy car and my "out of practice" gear changes. Anyway, I am on the Motorway for a bit next Weekend so I guess I will see if I still hit the 55 - 58mpg figure I achieved a few weeks ago driving at 70mph in cruise control. I'm not expecting any significant change as to be fair, I have no idea on what this Emissions NOX does. I know there is a system in the car which gives out Factory settings when obtaining Emissions figures which is different when actually taken out on to the open road(s) but no-one has told me as to what this upgrade actually does to my engine.

I just had mine carried out this morning. Probably too early to tell. However, I did notice the drive was more smoother in the 28 Degrees today, but that might be more due to bad gear changes of the 2016 A3 courtesy car i was using so I was comparing the two cars.
