The VW Group has announced that it is close to concluding its investigation into false CO2 measurements, and says that far fewer vehicles than the original 800,000 believed to be affected will be recategorised.
In a move that could be interpreted as an attempt to head off compensation claims, VW also says that no fixes to any of the cars will be required, and, as such, that the real-world fuel economy figures of the vehicles will remain the same.
VW models affected by CO2 irregularities:
VW Polo 1.0l TSI BlueMotion 70kW EU6, six-speed manual gearbox
VW Scirocco 2.0l TDI BMT 135kW EU6, six-speed manual gearbox
VW Jetta 1.2l TSI BMT 77kW EU6, six-speed manual gearbox
VW Jetta 2.0l TDI BMT 81kW EU6 seven-speed (DSG), Five-speed manual gearbox
VW Golf Convertible 2.0l TDI BMT 81kW EU6, five-speed manual gearbox
VW Golf 2.0l TDI BMT 110kW EU6, six-speed manual gearbox
VW Passat Alltrack 2.0l TSI 4MOTION BMT 162kW EU6, seven-speed (DSG)
VW Passat Variant 2.0l TDI SCR 4MOTION BMT 176kW EU6, seven-speed (DSG)
VW Passat Variant 1.4l TSI ACT BMT 110kW EU6, six-speed manual gearbox
Earlier this month, it emerged that Volkswagen would offer cash incentives of up to £1500 to existing UK customers as it tries to avert the potential sales affect caused by the emissions scandal.
Dealer correspondence leaked to Autocar shows that in response to concerns from VW’s British sales network, the company is going to top up any discounts offered to existing customers trading in a VW of any age with a further cash incentive - £400 on the Up city car, rising to £1000 on the Golf and Passat, and £1500 on the Touareg and Sharan.

Brilliant just took delivery of my manual 184 roc on Monday, right in the nick of time.
A faster car in a lower tax band than it should be, cheers VW

Re: Any Lawyers On Here?
If that list is comprehensive and correct then my car isn't on it as it's an auto and apparently it only affects the manual 2.0 TDIs.

Re: Any Lawyers On Here?
That list is just for the cars with incorrect CO2 values. There is still the original issue of false Nox values that just affects some diesel models. These cars will require "the fix"Paddy_R wrote:If that list is comprehensive and correct then my car isn't on it was it's an auto and apparently it only affects the manual 2.0 TDIs.
