    Interesting, thanks to both.
    @Alter_ego how old was your car when you bought it, please?

    Is anyone else there with figures and if they got more than one payment?

    Thanks in advance.

    I didn't sign up to it and probably should have. I bought my used A4 in 2012 when the car was 18 months old, and liked it until the software fix. Since then I have lost performance, have a lower mpg, and doesn't seem such a smooth a ride.
    The local dealership also didn't install the software update correctly and after every so often the engine management light would come on for a  DPF fault. 
    Ended up taking it to an independent VW specialist who solved the software fault, but the car has never been the same car as I bought since the software update was installed
