Brought my car in to look at a few rattles/noises today which I'm sure the dealership loved that, but I was mostly concerned about a potential busted window regulator. I had no intentions of throwing a fit if the others couldn't be isolated and found. They weren't a big deal and were most likely related to cold weather.
Anyway, it turns out there was also a service campaign open for my car. I checked on VW's recall campaign lookup to be sure and it looks like it was for "VW Action Code 24FX" (screenshot below).
It appears to address the stalling issue found in 2019s, but I thought that was under code 24FD. 24FX also appears to address a catalytic converter failure code issue, but does anyone know of any other specifics, by any chance? 24FX is very recent, as it's dated Mar. 12, 2021. I'm just curious about any other details related to this service campaign, if there are any worth knowing about.
Also, I thought my car felt a bit lazy before the update, but throttle response felt more immediate and the transmission seemed to downshift in reaction to throttle inputs more readily. I hadn't tried resetting the adaptations before, so maybe that did something, if that's even part of the update process anyway. It also felt like there was more midrange punch for some reason (I'll be able to test this more when it's not raining and after I swap the winter tires out). This could all likely be just placebo effect too.
I noticed a slightly "lumpy" idle on cold starts as well, so I wonder if this somehow fixes that too, but I won't know until the next time the car rests long enough to fully cool down.
