Do we really need that nanny attitude. I suggest you look at this rather important and pertinent video.

The biggest scandal is nearly all car manufacturers have misleading emissions figures but only VW have been taken to town for it. It's not unusual for real world figures to be double those achieved under test conditions.
JLR recalled 44,000 vehicles that failed emissions standards but it never became a scandal, I suspect because they've got no money to pay fines even if it went to court.
Fiat-Chrysler and CNH had their offices raided over claims of illegal levels of emissions, but again it hasn't received much coverage.

Just because some others have been investigated and some have made some adjustments, it does NOT mean that they purposely designed cheat devices into their engines. Those that have are prosecuted. Those that are subsequently found guilty are punished, although mainly at a corporate level, although the net is closing at a personal level now also.The biggest scandal is nearly all car manufacturers have misleading emissions figures but only VW have been taken to town for it.

To demonise others with no evidence, and to demonise a whole class of engine because of one corrupt company is irresponsible and effects the livelihood of many and the value of many more ordinary people’s mode of transport.

Yes we are in on this for two vehicles and I know a few others doing it. It’s done by Slater Gordon. Fairly easy claims process and it’s now progressing. VW appealed an early decision in May which delayed things a bit but it’s now confirmed VW lied about 1.2 million vehicles in the UK. There’s 20 lead claimants of which SG are one. The courts will now look at these lead claims when submitted then VW will file a defence early next year.

The case for Scottish-purchased vehicles is still trundling on, but this week's developments appear positive.

What is the basis of the figures? the extra fuel used compared to what the fraudulent test figures suggested what you would get, anything for loss of sale value? does the time owned have a bearing?
