Our 2015 has had the fix for about 1000 miles. Yes, it is a little different, kind of like a car before you put on a nice tune or chip. Would I still buy it today, post fix, yes 100%, still loving it!

Not going to happen on price. I tried to buy one at 20% and they played three card monty with me.

Have noted, it does seem to stutter more frequently when the temperature is slightly above freezing. IE; 35-45F. When the temp is under 32F, it still clatters, but doesn't stutter. That, at least, has been the one commonality.
2nd note : Field technician drove the car on a colder day... in the 20s.
Once again, for all those keeping score: 2013 Cayenne Diesel ~53k miles... ~1200 miles on it since the fix; And the stuttering only began after the diesel fix.

just drove my '14 touareg back from the dealer after getting the fix. I have 90,000 miles on it. I noticed virtually no difference from before/after. First 10 minutes or so, it was a bit louder, with a hissing/air releasing kind of sound. The idle also seemed a bit higher.
After about 10 minutes the noise went away and idle dropped back down. Normal and sport mode seemed to be no different than before. If it stays this way, i'd gladly take $8K for the fix.
i took the car from inside the shop so it was warm. we'll see how it is when temps drop. They did not know about the fuel fill up so remind your dealer when bringing it in. i had 3/4 so didn't make a big deal about it.

No issues here on price but the price i was quoted was only like 16% off Sale went smoothly but can't say the same about service after the sale. Had a 3 hr ride home that turned into 4 because of the snow. Low oil warning came on about 30 minutes into my trip. Turns out they must have only put 7 qts in when they changed the fluids. Still fighting about the flat spotted tires. Feels like I'm driving a Barney Rubble car.

Hello. I too am experiencing this issue, whereas when the vehicle is cold, the acceleration stutters, or hiccups, as if it's starving for oxygen or fuel for a moment. It's very unsure of itself when it happens, as if it's confused as to what to do. I have an appointment scheduled for next week. I'll report back. Everything else with the vehicle, thus far, is proper, no loss of fuel economy noted. I thought about trying to get this on video, but it's very difficult to catch, I'd almost have to setup a recording every time I get in the vehicle and start driving it (when its cold), but I don't have the time nor patience for that.

"The day I got the truck back, and about 2 hours into my trip, the Def alert came on to tell me I had 1000 miles left. I was worried a sensor was out, but when I took it back it turned-out they didn't reset that counter after they filled the Def tank."
This is interesting... I didn't know that they reset the counter on the DEF. So what happens if you don't fill the DEF tank, and reset the counter?

My understanding with the 2016 CD, all fluids are changed, tires for sure are all replaced, and other items such as wipers, etc are replaced. You say you are experiencing flat spots, they did not give you new set of tires? I'd go back to that dealership and impose a replacement on a new set of tires.
