Volkswagen Group May Need To Buyback 85,000 3.0 Liter TDI Models

So far, we already know the Volkswagen Group has decided to comply with a settlement that includes the buyback of 2.0-liter TDI-engined cars linked to the Dieselgate scandal, with the pricier 3.0 TDI models left hanging.

According to the latest report, the situation has been resolved – and it’s going to have huge financial impact on the second largest automaker in the world. The situation with the 3.0 TDI hasn’t been resolved yet because the implicated parts have no solution yet – or at least not one that everyone agrees upon.

The key phrase is "...older 3.0 V6 TDI..."

In an article I read a few days ago, VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group) representatives said the *older* 3.0 liter diesels were "too complicated to fix", and would be bought back. This still leaves the "newer" 3.0 L diesel engines without a solution that's acceptable to authorities. (That's where I am, with my 2015 Q5 3.0L TDI).

Right, I think the cutoff was 2012, but I haven't seen that for sure.

Caching caching...the sound of money flowing out of VW coffers! Time to reserve another $10 billion or more as everyone keeps getting on this gravy train.

Time to move the 911 to the MQB platform!
