discussion Claim for VW diesel emissions settlement

So, this has been verified by consumer journalist, Wendy Knowler, as being legitimate.

Obviously, do your own research before making any claim.

This is the story:

Interesting!

After seeing literal oceans of VW diesels in buy-back yards elsewhere in the world, I just assumed we'd receive the typical 3rd world treatment. i.e. nothing.

Will forward to known qualifiers

Note this is on the 1.6TDI and 2.0TDI EA189 engines.

Sadly, no 3.0TDI so I can't claim for my Macan Diesel

When my uncle told me he got a call about this as he owned a Golf 7 2.0TDi years back, I was very skeptical. But yep turns out its legit!
