Hi guys I had my A3 EA189 fixfail done 23rd of march about a week later started getting symptoms of struggling to start engine sound was different from before less power but didn't have any lights on my dash , spoke to Audi as I thought something isn't right, then thought I'll look on the internet see if anyone else has the same issues and it seems everyone who had it done was experiencing the same or worse symptoms, long story short I spoke to a mechanic friend of mine , well two who I no know what there on about and they both told me to remap my car , so had it done today and the drive was amazing with a little extra power as well more fuel economy and hopefully no more issues , so if you are experiencing problems after the emissions fix, go get your car remapped as it puts your car back to its healthy self .

Yes god damn predictive txt haha that's what they are mate bang on, and yh should be ok pal let's see... 🏎💨 and tyres ... man it's going be a dear do 💷💷💸💸

Yes edd definitely I'm taking my A3 be done tomorrow it's only 140bhp so 170bhp afterwards but I'll be happy have the smooth running motor back and not worry about the issues potentially coming my way, egr fail dpf blockage etc Audi won't do anything so I'll get it done by having the map it will cost 200-300 roughly but I'd rather that than the hassle of taking it Audi when the issues occur having time of work etc plus the lies they will fill me with... nothing has come up on our scanner , it's nothing to do with the ea189 update BOLLOX!!! It's everything to do with that fail fix , I'll let you guys know how my car is after the map and if it's as you said a much easier/ cheaper fix than dealing with a dealership

No problem pal, I love my A3 and after this update I'm beginning to hate it... once fixed I'll love her again but knowing it's going to cost the amount roughly to get resolved or the hassle if I don't get it remapped is going be ridiculous through Audi, I'm booked in to have it diagnosed on Tuesday but I'm not going to bother as they will only tell me nothing has come up on there scanners etc etc and try charge me for it.. soon as I jumped back in the car when I picked it up it stalled.. and I've never stalled the car, wish I had never taken it now and as for the dealership USELESS!!!

Fast edd , I have spoke to a mechanic I know who does remaps and he said it will resolve the problem, they have basically done a !Removed! map on the car and now needs either a standard map or something with a bit more bhp/ torque more mpg and just an all round better performing engine, the VAG group should be sued they are basically putting all road users lives at risk , if the car goes into limp mode when on a busy motorway or any road for that matter it could cause a serious crash, and alls Audi are telling me is that they will do a diagnostic check ... not good enough the fix they have put on the vehicles is no fix, it's dangerous!!! They should be sued for this ..., I'll be getting me vehicle remapped so it's back to its normal performing specs and hopefully the issues I'm having will be dealt with through this

I have an A3 2.0 59 plate , thought it was a great idea to take my car to Audi and let them do this horrific update for my emissions "fix" it has completely ruined my car , the car judders stinks of fumes / burning smell when driven , the fan stays on every journey I take and there isn't as much power there anymore, spoke to Audi who say they will do a diagnostic check on the vehicle but I know nothing is wrong with it, and they will not reverse the update , I think this is absolutely disgusting that they seem to think it's not there fault even tho it is obvious from how many people in this group have the same issues after the "update" I'm furious to say the least and would never advise anyone take there car to a Audi dealership for this update or for any other work mind...
