If you are leasing you shouldn't be getting anything back really. Take what they offer and be happy since leasing is a fancy name for renting. You won't be ever owning it unless you buy it AFTER the renting is up and that point you can just walk away if you don't like what the emission scandal "did" to you.

I have the 2013 CD since new (Vancouver BC) and recently received the recall letter as well. From the letter looks like settlement amount CAD7,800 or buy back (not sure how much) or trade in factoring the settlement amount into the trade.
However, if I wish to keep the car and receive compensation, the recall repair has to be made before any compensation. I still like this pig. After the repair, performance and consumption will suffer.. Now not sure
whether to trade in for the new generation or just keep it.. Anyone here been offered trade in value ?

Just found this thread, trying to resurrect it.
I guess we are awaiting Canadian court approval of the settlement, in early April.
I have a 2013 CD, bought new in late 2012.
Local Porsche dealer has already been doing fixes, I was just in a few days ago (test drove '17 C2S service loaner!). Buddy of mine had his Q7 (not sure of MY) fixed about a month ago.
Is the understanding that compensation won't be paid unless fix is in place? Seemed to me there was as ?split payment in U.S. (half up front, half after fix)?.
The reason I'm asking is that I'm considering delaying the fix, for as long as I can, over potential post-fix drivability and other (fuel/DEF consumption) issues.
I know that I am happy with how my CD drives, prefix and am a bit concerned that it may degrade post fix.
Thoughts ?

I have a 16 A6 TDI. My understanding of the letter is that settlement has not been approved. You can go ahead with the fix without forfeiting your right to the settlement. So in short you can do it or wait and still get paid. As to whether you don't get paid until the fix is done I don't recall what my letter stated.

The pollution for a non fixed diesel is 40 times what is allowed. fix your car or give it back. Do you care about the environment or have kids? . It should be mandated that the cars be fixed or off the road. We have enough pollution. BTW After the fix it supposedly drives similar to before.

Tracking your 996 (and others)? That has been modified? Modified to...decrease your emissions? For - necessary transportation?
Tell you what. Since *you* have raised this, this is what you're going to do:
1. You are going to review your commuting and leisure motor vehicle use and calculate your excess emissions against my 9 - 10,000 km/year use of my Cayenne Diesel.
2. PM me the results
3. Keep your unsolicited opinions as self-anointed Rennlist green/morality cop off of these threads.

Ahhhh the treehuggers finally surfaced! Regardless of having all the pollution controls on it or not, how much does a track car pollute during a race weekend? How much does my son's go kart pollute during a race day? All these are done for entertainment, maybe they should be banned? The 40x is just a number that the government came up with. That 40x was half as much 10 years ago.

Turbodan, I am gathering the garage you list are older vehicles and not pet names for your slew of expired public transit passes.

Secondly all of my cars have catalytic converters and pass the government mandated rules for the years manufactured. My cars are all LEGAL.
I have read about pollution levels in European cities going up large amounts during the recent years, just based on VW/Audi/Porsche vehicles cheating. Your car is known to be cheating and you want to continue to CHEAT.
The discussion about race cars is a joke as it is so miniscule the amount of race cars that run around (partly due to time/availablitity/cost to run) and pollution from race cars is tiny...very different than a manufacturer producing cars for the public streets and CHEATING and owner's not wanting to fix.
And all this law breaking so you can drive a beautiful sports car fast? no its for a Diesel SUV! Get if fixed or sell it back to the manufacturer!

So..... not to get back on point or anything 😉
Anyone know what the actual fix is ? Is it a software de-tune or is there hardware involved ?

this... why are the automakers 'cheating', because a theoretical politically-derived number can't be met... FWIW, 996Turbo was the first (IIRC) supercar to clean the air (tailpipe cleaner than air intake) in any major city on the planet....
