VW Group launches websites for drivers to check if their cars are affected by emissions scandal

 

Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda and SEAT have all set up new websites to allow owners to check if their diesel cars are affected by the recent emissions scandal. 

Up to 1.2 million UK models spread across the four different brands could be fitted with the illegal software designed to cheat nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions tests, but up until now owners of diesel VW-Group cars have not been able to confirm if their vehicle is one of those affected. 

Volkswagen confirmed on Wednesday Oct 07,2015 it will begin recalling cars fitted with the emissions test-rigging devices in January 2016

New chief executive Matthias Mueller said he hoped the vehicle recall would begin at the start of next year and all affected cars will be repaired by the end of 2016
