VW goes big on total Touran makeover

It is an appropriate time, I suppose, to be writing about Volkswagen as just last week the Germany Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) approved the technical solutions for over 800,000 vehicles affected by what Volkswagen describes whimsically as the “diesel issues,” writes Declan Colley

The company announced that Passat, Passat CC, and Eos models with the two-litre TDI EA 189 engines, which were at the centre of a scandal that engulfed the company in an unprecedented and hugely damaging furore, will be the first ones to have their “issues” addressed.

Indeed, while the international reputational carnage caused to the firm may take years to fully appreciate, at least VW has finally got the ball rolling to try and restore customer’s faith.
