I had an Audi 10 years ago and I sold it after six months because things kept going wrong with it and the dealer's interest level was sub-zero.
I had a Golf 30 years ago. The body was good and solid, the mechanicals were....sub-zero.
I didn't think VW's integrity level was this low and their arrogance was this high though.

Perhaps you should learn more and opine less . Besides, everybody knows the lousy cars get culled and sent there.

I've owned 5 Audi's. I think I blew out a bulb in one.

You're not missing anything. It was a discourteous and uncalled for response. |

Really, so complaining about a 30 freaking year old golf adds to the discussion how, precisely?

Yikes, mate! Settle down.
So what about the 11 million cars world wide, and the 90k here in Australia? Is there any reason that those current owners shouldn't be somewhat cheesed off by VAG's totally illegal activities?

If I was VW, I would take them all back and sell them to a country where Euro 6 emission law is not required. That way the world is kept clean... Or tell the current owners to drive slower to reduce emissions.
Am I sarcasic? Yes, because I don't believe in global warming - oups, sorry, global climate change. - Or, what is it called now?
Was VW lying and cheating? Yes.
Who informed the EPA? Maybe Piech, after he couldn't get rid of Winterkorn earlier this year and replace him with a person of his choice.
Piech already bought additional VW shares... Everybody should.

I'm perfectly settled. Is there some correlation to current owners relative to 30 year old golfs?

Please feel free to share your opinion on the ethics of conning eleven million car buyers....and yes, I have learnt something but it might be rude for me to comment further.

The older rear engine ones were great. Specially on a bonfire. Blocks were magnesium. I had to put a car out using sand. Lucky it caught fire next to a building site.
