So, with the old topic being deleted by accident and numerous people doing nothing but complain, here it is, a new topic. Start from scratch and go from there. Add what you know and let's return to a peaceful forum again please…



Things we know:

• Some engines don't meet some standards set by some governments.
• Some people got a letter to tell them that something would be done to their car at some point and that it wouldn't blow up in the meantime.
• 3.0 V6 TDI Now involved taking the list to 1.2, 1.6, 2.0 and 3.0 litre diesel engines.
• Some government people call for a "diesel scrappage scheme" http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-3330102/MPs-call-diesel-scrappage-scheme-changes-car-tax.html
• Porsche discontinued the Cayenne diesel in the US http://www.topgear.com/car-news/insider/vw-emissions-scandal-latest-porsche-stop-selling-cayenne-diesel-us
• VW says there will be no compensation to owners of effected vehicles: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business/34899937
• New news regarding what the fix will be: http://www.volkswagenag.com/content/vwcorp/info_center/en/news/2015/11/Massnahmen_KBA.html and a video to go with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19un49R4S6c
  Note where he says "For their American customers Volkswagen is still working on a solution"

Isn't it nice that Skoda and Seat owners have to go out and get the VIN number from their cars while VW and Audi owners get a tool to find it from their reg.

there's an emissions scandal?

there's an emissions scandal?

Apparently, and apparently now there's a Briskoda scandal to.

At least people have stopped posting a copy of their letter - you know, the one we've all had and all that's different is the name and address.

It would be great if some sort of timeline/Known facts, could be added to the first post to save us all trawling through hundreds of pages of links

If someone wants to make a timeline I will happily post it in the first post. I know very little of the scandal and am only here to try to keep the peace. Of course full credit will be given for anything that is copied into the first post.

And don't forget to watch Panorama on BBC 1 in half an hour.

Well, is the latest bit of news the 3.0tdi V6 is now involved? If so, you could add it as a bullet point to your OP. Although this does mean you will end up with a bit more work. Isn't there a thing about if you save a life you are responsible for it?

Announcement intended for shareholders

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/23/volkswagen-emissions-refits-idUSL8N13I48920151123?type=companyNews#UbScisQfLsp4C6TH.97

 

So, when shares go high enough, they will announce "the solution" then shares will drop to present value. That is why they aren't announcing solution now. Same story is for "goodwill" in Europe...

I suggested that in the last thread, but certain people objected.

they have bacame mgicians

 

"In the two-liter diesel engine rich from a software update, which the Federal Motor Transport Authority have (KBA) already agreed. Even the 1.6-liter engine VW have basically green light. In addition to an updated software mentioned here but also "hardware measures" necessary, admitted the CEO. But if it were "relatively simple changes in the air grilles or air filter cartridge"

I suggested it too with the same result. I think one of the mods suggested it also. Mind you the thread was a bit of an Infinite Monkey scenario jobbie and was so awash with links I think it had lost it's way and become a club for a few people with the stamina to continue it It would be nice if this one was concise and had bullet points or something in the first post though

I have read on the Beeb site that it looks like Euro cars are now possibly cheating testing. Guess that's what the Panorama show was about?
