If you are referring to the illegal software issue, latest report is that affects 11 million vehicles fitted with the EA189 CR diesel. They haven't mentioned specific vehicle types.
Crisis.... LOL

Not a crisis? I would have thought a 23% drop in share price is more than a crisis for VW, potential fines in the 10's of billions, not a crisis? So what is a crisis? Or maybe I should have inserted "Financial" in the subject.
As a comparison, Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster operated by Transocean, BP fined more than $18 billion, maybe more of a disaster than a crisis.
Guess we will have to wait and see what vehicles have the software.

Only USA diesels so far but Europe and elsewhere are sure to be put under the microscope.
Possibly may vary between the various iterations - non turbo/single turbo/twin turbo - and lookout Skoda and Audi...
Damned clever these German engineers, but not quite clever enough!

You are incorrect. They've admitted to 11 million engines world wide (at this point).Originally Posted by greymad

Some articles are citing fines of $37,000 per vehicle, but I think this is California only at this stage.
If VW are cheating, I wonder if any of the other manufacturers are also ? Maybe they are not dumb enough to admit it however.

MK5 Jetta Turbo - Sold

I would imagine that even though its a problem for VW I don't think it makes one iota to the everyday drive of the cars involved , but if they change the specs it could affect the fuel consumption of affected vehicles . Last one I spotted this over on the general section of the forum , VW tell us if we change the computer tune of our cars then it will void the warranty , talk about the shoe on the other foot .

Somebody mentioned since 2009 on one of the news programs. They also mentioned that the US regulators were widening their net, but that might only be referring to VW's sibling companies, or it could be the world at large.
In any case, what will it mean for the T6 launch, or should we say sinking?
