All have confirmed my suspicion about this, so thanks for the replies.

The tone of the letter leads me to believe that the next letter will possibly offer a bribe to have it done. It had better be in the £100s to convince me! Hope VW are reading, as are lots of owners of these engines.

I had my software updated 10 months ago now. On leaving the service centre then, I noticed a change in the way my A4 Estate drove.
On pulling away and having just gone up a gear, I noticed less power, and seemed to be noisier, but i put up with it.
Wind forward to early June 2017 and I've booked a holiday. On the 2nd day the engine management light comes on, which kind of killed the holiday to be honest as I couldn't make any plans until somebody could look at the car.

A local independant service centre stepped in to help me and found the error was given by the pressure sensor for the Diesel Particulate FIlter.
He reset it and sent me off to get some DPF cleaner to put into the diesel.

Last Saturday the Engine Management light came on again. On Monday I was informed it was the same error and that a new sensor may solve the problem, but the errors kept repeating.

It seemed like I was going to have to have the DPF replaced, (which is roughly £1000 job)
An independant VAG specialist was sent my way by a friend, who checked the car over, found the DPF clean as a whistle, and no other faults, apart from a problem with the Software update, to remove the cheat emission software that Audi uploaded 10 months ago.

The car was factory reset to it's original settings, and I no longer have engine management light coming on, and I have the power back.

I wonder what Audi will do for me to apologise for my losses, or make me want to buy Audi again? I won't hold my breath.
