Dispite initially the Skoda website clearing my Superb I got the dreaded apology letter today! The Skoda website now agrees! I had been planning to sell or part-ex mine next year! I am now concerned that due to the uncertainty about what the fix might do to the Engines performance, power and fuel consumption tied with how long the fix will take to be done that its going to affect what my car is worth!

Has anyone had any issues or have any idea of what effect this has had with selling on affected cars!? Cheers

From what I can gather, outside of the general motoring press the emissions scandal has attracted very little attention apart from on the day it broke. Zafiras catching fire at random has got more attention in the Irish media anyway. If you're in the US there are definitely issues, but apart from using it as a bargaining ploy, I'm not sure whether any of the people who buy VAG cars are likely to stop buying them because of this.

 

Since nobody seems to know yet what the fix is going to be and it is likely to vary from engine to engine there is still considerable uncertainty on this though.

It's the uncertainty that I'm concerned about and I'm sure there are going to be plenty of traders/dealers who are going to use the scandal to there advantage, especially as anyone can check on the Skoda website which are effected cars!

You'll have no issues at all, even less so if you part-ex at a VAG dealer.
