updated ECU software rolling out is brand new, we're already sorting out the tune files
will do.Can you let us know if it's the same after a couple hundred miles... they have to retune the computer... so all your readiness monitors may not be "ready" not sure on these cars but every other car I've owned hasnt had the same pickup and etc... until then... also curious about your first regen if there is any wierd smell or etc...
Thanks!!
+1 Literally happened to me this morning.Just a heads up to anyone who has an appointment to get 23Z8 (AEM-C) performed. Call to make sure there are parts available. I had set up an appointment online and did not get a confirmation email. So I just called the dealer to double check and he told me I was all set, and when I mentioned about hearing about issues with parts availability he checked and told me no parts available.
When I spoke to parts department I was told they get 1 set of parts per week and right now waitlist is 8-10weeks long.
Please everybody call and double check. I would have wasted a 60mile one way trip to be told oops we don't have parts.
Longevity of new DPF, the longer you wait, the longer the new one will last. Providing you plan to keep the car long term it may be worth waiting if your current DPF is working fine.After reading about the positive results from others getting the 23Z8 fix, actually looking forward to getting this done. I've had the first "fix" done; what benefit is there to wait for this one?

I also wonder what warranty they will offer after replacement?
I have this issue on the Touareg since the recall, only on cold days until the engine warms up. I cannot find any evidence of exhaust leak but is smells fairly strong.I've had this issue before this recall, but does anyone smell exhaust when driving? I've driven in the middle of the night with no other cars around and smell diesel exhaust in the cabin. It is more noticeable when the car is about to do a regen.
The issue still persists with the new DPF.
Any other short and long term updates on the second fix?
