Volkswagen Ireland says emission scandal solution will not affect value of cars

Volkswagen has stopped sales in the European Union of the remaining new cars that contain the diesel engine fitted with the software that was used to cheat on US emissions tests.

The head of Volkswagen in Ireland says no customer's car should be devalued as a result of the emissions scandal.

The company says it is writing to all Volkswagen customers this week to outline options to address the emissions problems with their cars.
