This could see VW founder

If I had a VW (I don't) what would I do if I got a letter saying my VW had to go for a recall to have its software rogered with to make it comply with regulations but with some impact on power/economy?

I'd say no, you keep the car and give me back what I paid for it

11 million cars at average of say £15k each. Then there's the £25k per vehicle the US can make them pay for nearly 500,000 cars sold there.  This is going to take much more than the £5B they've provisioned

But what really pisses me off is we're all going to get PPIesque phone calls about VW now.

You underestimate the man on the British street.
Don't give a monkey's about emissions etc.
Just wait a while until VW hits the bottom then get a pretty decent car very cheap.  Thumbs:

But what really pisses me off is we're all going to get PPIesque phone calls about VW now.

I'm not so sure of that, it will depend on how easy it is for call centres and data supply companies to get  customer data specific to purchasing a VW. PPI, debt relief and sub prime product campaigns were easy enough to put together in the scheme of things as it's easy for data supply companies to get information on whether someone has a credit card or loan and if they are a low, medium or high credit risk and but on the datasets I had to process for call lists information actually showing which lender the product was with was rare on new data and usually only obtained after agents had talked to that particular person.

There may be some campaigns but I don't think there will be anywhere near the saturation level of PPI calls.
