Will a factory rep or dealer even work on an illegal one that got purchased without down grading it to meet standards?
I don’t know.
I finally bit the bullet and am in the midst of paper work of getting mine “fixed”. The actual work has not been done. I have been putting this off because I absolutely love how the car runs (like a scalded dog!) and am fearful my butt dynamometer will not have that thrill anymore. I have NOT been able to find any definitive claims of what the car will do after the fix other than the economy will likely go down.
I have received no notifications from VW that my car is currently out of compliance and therefore “WE WON’T WORK ON IT.”
