Hi All,

Sort of off topic but.....

There was a lot of fuss about the VW diesel emissions test being fiddled. VW is/has paid compensation to owners. I have seen a few websites stating you can also claim for Citroens & Vauxhalls etc. Is this actually real & are the websites genuine or a con? Just wondered if anyone had actually made a successful claim?

Hello

The EU emission test cheat devices (software?) were found in the Euro 5 Citroen engine, these were fitted to the C3 from 2010.

The claim is for compensation for being mis-sold.

Without any actual loss suffered by the purchaser it will be interesting to hear if there is anything to claim?

Mine is a 59 plate (although comes up as 2010 on most motor factor computers) & is an Airdream+ model whatever that means. I've had it from 3 years old. Just wondered if I could get some cash!
