Not sure when effected sales ended but I know my car didn't require a software upgrade as it was the next generation engine.

Nice! Yes I did, now fixed thanks. Yep I was pleased with that. I did have to follow a lorry for about 100 miles to get that figure but I wasn't in a hurry. Going a bit steadier and slower makes so much difference.
My normal MPG in summer would be around 65MPGish.
(UK gallons are bigger than US gallons so it's not quite as impressive as you might think. I must switch over to metric for everything.)
Mine gets about 42 US MPG if I keep a light foot, which can be hard given how fun it is to drive. Usually works out to around 450mi a tank give or take (14 US Gallons) depending on how I feel on fill-up day about fiddling my thumbs to wait for the foam in the tank to go down to top it up to get it to “all the way filled.” I love it to death and will drive it until the DPF gets clogged, then delete and keep driving. Just bought a MK4 Jetta TDI as a beater to see if I can drive it to the moon once or twice. :) Cheers!

While the behaviour was terrible, my understanding is that the vehicles were better to drive during that era.
A well maintained diesel gets absolutely massive miles over its life, and it sounds like you’re on that path.
