Has anyone else experienced trouble starting a Volkswagen Touran after the 'fix'?

I have had the update done on my Volkswagen Touran 1.6 TDI and on driving home the glow plug light started flashing, it got returned to the garage and they 'fixed' it by saying the software hadn't loaded properly and has now been redone. On driving it the following day, the engine completely cut out and was unable to be restarted for about 10 minutes after several attempts. Has anyone else had this?

Yours is one of the first EA189 1.6 TDIs to have been called in for the NOx fix, so we have no other reports. The big news today is that a law firm has launched a class action against Volkswagen that you can join: www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/volkswagen-emissions-sca.../
