I'm actually looking at getting a car at the moment so I've been looking into this to better understand the repercussions for consumers.
It's weird, VW say that if your car if affected, they'll fix it. It's a software update that a) won't affect performance and b) won't affect fuel consumption.
So, why did they do it in the first place?
Edit "VW confirmed the fix will not affect the performance or fuel economy of the cars, while Mueller also said the cars will pass the European emissions test (without cheating) after the fix has been installed." - http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/volkswagen/92893/vw-emissions-s...
