He explains that not all new vehicles with EU6 engine are affected, nor are petrol engines.
According to the announcement, Volkswagen's action plan envisages, as a first step, informing the owners concerned about the issue through the websites of the brands (www.vw.com.cy, www.audi.com.cy, www.skoda .com.cy, www.seat.com.cy) which will provide continuous information on any developments, as well as the ability for owners to distinguish if their vehicle is affected, by entering the chassis number / VIN. For more information owners can contact customercare@unicars.com or call 80077560.
Then Volkswagen and the other brands of the group whose cars are affected will showcase their technical services and implementation within October.
After that, the owners of the affected vehicles will be informed in order to make an appointment at the Unicars Authorized Service Network for the implementation of the necessary technical measures.
