Hi guys, just had my emissions 'fix' applied to my 2012 Leon FR+ this weekend. Not happy. The torque at the bottom end of the rev range is noticeably reduced and as a result the car doesnt seem to pull as well. Im going to be taking this up with Seat this week but I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience on the 170 CR engine? Apologies if Ive missed a similar post elsewhere.
VW Emissions Fix loss of torque Leon CR 170

The fix must affected the fuelling at the bottom end where the emissions must have been high. Feel like asking them to put the old map back on but theres fat chance of that happening now. Anyone else actually had this done? Dont want it to be just my perception. Wish I had a dyno test before and after.
I'll be getting mine done next week so I'll keep an eye on the thread. I'll post if I notice anything after they've "Sorted" it out

Took mine a few weeks ago asked all about the new emissions test and what they were going to do, told them I was thinking of getting a remap so they said don't go a head with it so didn't
I received a letter last week telling me that I can now book the car in. Pretty hesitant to do it at the minute though, I think I'll wait until I've seen more reviews about the impact. Pretty sure the letter states that no impact will be made to performance but I find that hard to believe if emissions are being reduced.
Thanks for the warning. I got my letter a couple of days back and having had it flashed back to stock briefly was tempted to get the fix applied. But think I'll skip it.
Got mine booked in for Saturday for Revo Stage 1 so guess that answers that.
Yeah, the letter said no reduction in bhp, torque or mpg. Maybe they mean no reduction in peak torque / bhp.

Had mine done last week along with my service and there's no difference I've noticed. All seems good.
At the moment anyway

I can't understand why anyone would let VAG anywhere near their perfectly running car. Tell them to knackers unless it's required by law.
Had mine done not noticed any difference still pulls from low revs cos it'll still fly up local steep hill I can get it up to 6th gear from around 30mph take a look at this post cos Sam pd170 says that he's had his on the rollersite
