Audi Diesel Emissions Claims

Thousands of Audi owners in the UK were affected by the dieselgate scandal. The claim is now finished. The ramifications of the scandal, however, are still being felt. 

In 2015, Volkswagen admitted to inserting a “cheat device” into many of their cars in order to cheat emissions tests. Audi has been owned by the Volkswagen Group since 1966, and a number of Audi’s cars were fitted with this cheat device.

This has meant that over the past decade thousands of UK citizens could have been driving Audi vehicles that promised better performance and less pollution than was actually the case. Autocar tests have shown that the cars do have a worse fuel economy after the fix.

The claim is now closed.

 

What was the Audi Emissions Scandal?

In September 2015, Volkswagen admitted that 1.2 million of its vehicles sold in the UK were fitted with a cheat software. The case became known as the VW emissions scandal or “dieselgate”.

However, included within these 1.2 million vehicles were cars within the VW Group brand – Audi, Seat, Skoda.

While no definitive emissions tests have yet taken place in the UK, researchers in the US found that when tested on the road, some cars emitted almost 40 times the permitted US levels of nitrogen oxides. The permitted levels do differ in the US and the UK. This is particularly ironic due to Audi’s tagline of “Vorsprung Durch Technik” – “Progress Through Technology”.

In addition to this, it has been reported that many of the senior figures in charge at the time of the use of the cheat device had originated from Audi.

Not only is cheating the NOx emission tests bad for the environment, it can potentially hurt the pockets of Audi customers. Clients who have been affected may have suffered damages because of it. If they have a valid claim they may be able to make a claim for compensation.

In 2017, the Volkswagen Group brand had to recall 4,997 A8 models in Europe fitted with V8 diesel engines to update their software after it was found they emitted too much NOx.

Manufacturers have already paid out over £100m in compensation in the UK in respect of the Diesel Emissions scandal.

 

What cars were affected by the Audi emissions scandal?

The VW NOx Emissions Group Litigation relates to vehicles manufactured by Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT or Skoda with a 1.2, 1.6 or 2.0 litre EA189 diesel engine, manufactured before 2016.

Other cars may be affected including, Porsche. Whilst no finding or decision has been made in respect of other vehicles such as Porsche, our panel are looking into them.

How to find out if your Audi has been affected by the NOx Emissions scandal

Audi initially sent out letters if your car was affected and they were recalling cars. However, you may not have received this letter or bought on the secondary market in between 2009-2015.

There is currently a link on the Audi website which can help you find out if you have been affected:

Am I eligible to join the Audi emissions lawsuit?

The Audi emissions lawsuit is now over.

 

Why should you have brought a claim for compensation against Audi?

ClaimExperts are asked this question regularly, and we believe there are five reasons:

  • Saving the Environment
  • Corporate Accountability
  • Financial Reimbursement for mis-representation
  • Saving your health
  • No risk to you due to no win, no fee

The key reason is that a multinational company lied to its customers in order to make more profits. This meant that they sold an Audi that was not what was advertised, meaning your health and your pocket could have been affected.

The Volkswagen Group also lied about a dangerous pollutant – NOx. This is responsible for acid rain, global warming, smog and the deterioration of the ozone layer.

Customers of Audi could have claimed compensation for:

  • Added depreciation as a result of finding the cheat device
  • Any increase fuel costs incurred over the years
  • Increased car tax
  • Damages for breach of contract

 

How much could I have received for an Audi emissions claim?

Manufacturers have already paid out over £100m in compensation in the UK in respect of the Diesel Emissions scandal.

 

How can I begin my Audi emissions claim for compensation?
