However, it would seem that the issue is heating up in Europe. While we on this side of the Pond got gift certificates, big cheques and more, the Europeans got bupkis.<\/p>\n<p>The story principally hovered around the 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine and although issues with the 3.0-litre V6 TDI had been spotted, very little was done, at least until now. An investigation has opened in Germany involving 2009-13 Audi A8 TDI and another one could begin shortly on the Porsche Cayenne diesel.<\/p>\n<p>These investigations involve not only VW but Bosch, a huge parts and technology supplier, as they\u2019ve been linked to the development of the cheat devices.<\/p>\n<p>As these two probes evolve, the fact that one German TDI owner successfully sued VW and got them to buy back his car for the price paid when new could set a devastating precedent for the giant carmaker. As class-action lawsuits are a foreign concept for most Europeans, could it be that VW will be facing thousands upon thousands of individual suits? Or worse?<\/p>\n<p>Although the dark cloud is lifting over the Americas, it\u2019s not going away as VW had hoped.
