Dad's MY15 Caddy is affected and I'll still be buying a Mk7 Derv come next year.

Overhyped. Boring. Bandwagon.

You'll probably get bigger injectors and a new tune that will decrease the car's mpg and give lower torque at lower engine rpm. Later you can tune it to 140 BHP to make it more pleasant. :signLOL:

I have the 2.0 engine and have the letter regarding the recall, can I ask why you are not taking your car in?

Fixed my last post. :ashamed:

The mpg will decrease since the cat needs more fuel to be more efficient. Also, the 1.6 TDI will probably get AdBlue.

I think if VW want to give our £1000/£500 vouchers I'd take one.
But I'm not going to sue them.

And it continues http://finance.yahoo.com/news/vw-engineers-admitted-manipulating-co2-111023327.html

Notice this paragraph:-
"Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported on Saturday that VW managers were worried about travelling to the United States because U.S. investigators have confiscated the passport of a VW employee while on a visit there".
No VW staff will want to fly into America now since that's how you treat criminals!

I noticed in this article http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/industry/12015062/Volkswagen-investigated-in-Germany-over-tax-evasion.html
the word "fraud" now that's the time too worry if you've got shares in VW!

I can see the German government getting the VW group of companies loot out here in fines before anyone else can,cause that word fraud is used!
What will be left is the equipment and the workers for the Yanks!
Let see if they keep those workers on and where's the pension loot?
