It&#8217;s safe to say there has been slow progress in resolving the crisis to date.<\/p>\n<p>In December 2016, the KBA watchdog approved VW&#8217;s plan to fix the 8.5 million vehicles in Europe. Two years on, some 5.5 million of the 8.5 million affected vehicles in Europe have been &#8220;fixed&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>VW hasn&#8217;t imposed a deadline of when U.K. vehicles should be fixed but &#8216;hopes to have most of them done by the autumn&#8217;. As of March this year, VW said they had fixed approximately half of the 1.2 million affected vehicles. To say that VW is the second largest seller in the U.K., I&#8217;m surprised as to why VW hasn&#8217;t done more to rectify the situation and provide real redress to affected vehicle owners.<\/p>\n<p>In a response to mounting regulatory pressure, VW&#8217;s U.K. managing director, Paul Willis, stated<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>&#8220;&#8230;we have implemented the technical measures in more than 540,000 U.K. vehicles.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Links between the &#8220;fix&#8221; and adverse effects<\/h3>\n<p>Many vehicle owners have reported adverse effects following the emissions &#8220;fix&#8221;. Mr Willis denied that any changes made by the emissions &#8220;fix&#8221; had affected the performance of the vehicles. He states:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>&#8220;The technical measures have been rigorously tested and the relevant authorities have confirmed that there is no adverse impact on the vehicles&#8217; MPG, CO2 emissions, engine output torque and noise emissions.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>There&#8217;s yet to be any solid independent research to confirm Mr Willis&#8217; statement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The fear of undertaking the &#8220;fix&#8221; has been rife worldwide. Many affected vehicle owners don&#8217;t want their vehicles to be &#8220;fixed&#8221; in order for them to be compliant with emissions standards as this may have adverse effects such as reduced performance of the vehicle and reduced fuel economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Owners who refuse to undertake VW&#8217;s emissions &#8220;fix&#8221; software update in Germany are to be deregistered, according to new reports.
