VW diesel emissions scandal

[AC]

VW fix explained! You heard it here first.....

 

[SMB]

Tried to check if mine was impacted, but Audi site needs flash player and I am on ipad/phone...

Any other solutions, without me having to get the laptop out?

 

[Dub_cub 89]

How much has it reduced your fuel economy then ?

I'd want...

This whole scandal hasn't affected me in the slightest, I never could warm to the 2.0 or 1.6 tdi, and I honestly couldn't give a toss what my 1.9pd 130bhp a4 is emitting

Seat uk have just been on the phone
They have took my details and will pass them onto donnellys in dungannon,have to ring donnellys tomorrow and confirm it also

Also just checked the missus's Leon 2012,1.6 tdi ......it's also affected

so is that to arrange donnelys to do the fix ?

 

[gizmo98]

Aye well I have to register my details with them as I didn't buy the car direct from seat
And not on their system
And to arrange the fix but she said it could be a while yet as nothing is sorted their end regarding the fix

 

[CharlySkunkWeed]

Ah right. I'm the same , got mine last year from Ballyrobert. Not sure how Seat will contact me , or if they even will . I'm seriously considering doing a deal on a petrol equivalent if that offer is available. Not sure how that would work , as I assume it's only on a new car and I'm not keen on shelling out on a 2015 petrol FR !

 

[gizmo98]

Did you leave your details on the site after you checked ?thats what I did

Check Your Car

 

[Chris100]

Checked mine on the Audi site and it confirmed what I already knew, its affected.

 

[Marc]

I dont understand why you boys are chomping at the bit to get it "fixed" all it will do is either lose you power or decrease you mpg as it will need to burn hotter to get rid of more gases.

 

[gizmo98]

Who's chomping at the bit ?

 

[CharlySkunkWeed]

I'm certainly not . Ive better things to do than take time off work to balls around dropping off and collecting car from main dealer for a start !

 

[richiemucker]

No phone call or letter yet from VW for my Passat. Checked online and its affected.

 

[Chris100]

I don't care whether they fix mine or not, it will be going back to them in 6 months under my current deal and they will have the problem selling it on not me.

 

[Paddy_R]

I don't even care enough to check if mine is affected (though it being a 2012 2.0 tdi I'm pretty sure it is). And if VW ever do contact me I'll be ignoring it. All this has achieved for me is that I'll never be back to VW for anyany sort of work. My Scirocco runs just fine and doesn't fixed.

 

[m00k]

Checked both ours last night... Both effected

 

[Coog]

Aye I'm not bothered about mine either. Its never been to Audi since it was bought new and that's not going to change tbh.

 

[Rover Repair]

Question is will insurance / warranty / resell etc be effected.

 

[Coog]

Can't imagine insurance or warranty would be affected. Resale value might though depending on what the change does to economy/power.

 

[Eager]

Can't see it being a put off. A rake of the vag's here are clocked and butchered about with, doesn't seem to stop them selling.

 

[Coog]

Same story with the newer stuff except its potentially less powerful and less economical.... and who knows what their quick fix will do for reliability.

People here are as tight as a ducks arse. Any whiff of the above and the prices will drop. If its a decent fix then I'm sure it'll be business as usual.

 

[Eager]

If it's a fiver less than another then it will sell still.

 

[Rover Repair]

Lol skynews currently. Yanks arnt happy.

 

[KevM]

TorqueTronix will be flat to the tin!!

(other vehicle remapping services are available)

 

[Pumesta]

I can't see there being much affect to used values long term, or if trading in against a VAG . You might find a different manufacture might be a bit reluctant taking one as trade in,in the short time until a 'fix' is announced, as they being the supplying dealer could be held liable
