I'll be taking my Golf TDI to the dealer in the next few days for its first (10K mile) service.

Does the dealer update the vehicle firmware anytime an update is available or only if the customer identifies a problem that a firmware update might address?

Usually, only when you have a problem but you can tell them that the car stumbles every once in a while and they will apply any flashes.

Well this is an aukward one, if you your motor is running ok then you would be better off saying nothing. It appears these software updates can reduce your power so don't complain about the DPF if it comes on? Users have notices a power loss after these updates.
