Thanks for this - it actually makes sense given it's Bosch, not VW that make the ECU itself. Rather than find somewhere to add a specific cheat program VW just found a way to utilise the limp home mode every modern ECU has... I suggest it also would have made it easier to hide / harder to detect...
