My old Audi was one affected by their own emissions cover up. I was contacted by Audi and some nice men from the local dealership picked it up, did whatever they did and delivered it back with a posh car care kit.Loads of ads on TV from claims company’s about a class action against Mercedes who have been caught out fiddling the emissions figure on Diesel vehicles.
I’m not convinced the majority of motorists who purchase or lease a car look at the emission data.
The cost that I looked at was the RFL(yearly car tax) that was more a gauge of emissions that you could see in pound notes(of course this has been proved to be false in the case of diesel vehicles)
Anyone thinking of trying to get a few quid out of the German motoring giants in a class action.
I'd looked at the class action papers that were around at the time and found them to be a little vague when it came to who was liable for costs if the action failed. I didn't really have any interest in taking part anyway and the resale value wasn't affected by it so i didn't see any reason why i should be compensated. It was all a bit ambulance chaser for me.
