Are Volkswagen's engine hesitancy issues sorted now?

Has Volkswagen Group sorted out their 1.5 petrol engine issues?

Asked on 11 November 2020 by Peter Hill

Answered by Georgia Petrie

In mid-October, Volkswagen told us: "As far as we are aware the software update has been a success and no further measures are planned. We are unaware of any current cases relating to the 1.5-litre TSI engine."

There have been no further statements since then, though we still sometimes get complaints about this engine.
