Emissions issues with some Skoda, VW, Audi and Seat models

[Clifford7162]

Can't help but feel that people complaining about owners trying to get compensated is a bit of the green eyed monster because "their car wasn't effected".

VW is multi billion company that turns over a hell of a lot of cash. It deceived and lied about emissions cheat software and now to fix that issue alters owners vehicles. Degrades performance, economy and attraction for selling on.

Ok we don't have to have the update done, but what knock on effect for re-sale etc? I mean once mine is sold I will never own a diesal or any vehicle from the VAG group.

Has anybody within the above owning groups been issued with a recall notice reference the above widely publicised subject? and if so have anybody gone to the extent of collectively appealing to VW through collective litigation channels? I would be interested in how this process will be managed by legal representation.  I believe that in America, compensation payments have come about, even though the issue is mainly for engines failing via software up to a Euro5 build.  So I believe europeans should be similarly compensated by some means, for the mis-represented facts on initial purchase? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forums.

 

In future, a search might be a good way to start rather than creating a new thread.

 

Anyway, some members have signed up for legal representation but from what I've heard, not much has come from this yet.

 

It might be worth reading this thread for more info:
