Volkswagen said that 810,000 vehicles had been fixed by the end of last week and 374,000 had yet to have the upgrade. John Stillwell/PAVolkswagen has blamed its customers after failing to fix almost 400,000 diesel cars fitted with software designed to cheat emissions tests. The company recalled 1.2 million VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda cars and vans in Britain after the “dieselgate” scandal was exposed two years ago by US regulators. It promised to fit new software that would reduce their emissions but admitted last night that almost a third of the vehicles had still not been fixed. The company said that some customers had chosen not to have their cars fixed despite receiving at least two requests to take their vehicle to a dealer for a software upgrade.
