Post by: davewilliams000 on 12 August 2016, 12:58

Potentially affecting any cars built since 1995!

Quite concerning!

It would appear that anything MQB based is not affected.  Given how much technology has advanced (on the "good" and "bad" side), this isn't surprising.  It's not just VW that is affected either.
