The main problem in my mind is that the 'fix' effectively de-tunes the vehicle. The vehicle effectively is made less powerful and less fuel efficient as a means of reducing emitted pollution.

As a 'consumer' therefore you have suffered a loss as you bought a product with specifications A but have ultimately received (after it has been 'fixed') a product with specifications B, which are measurably worse than those which you were originally advertised and bought.

The value of your chattel has also likely suffered additional depreciation as a result of the scandal, which it would not have done but for VW's shenanigans.

I wouldn't personally put the value of such a loss particularly high but a) that is not for me to judge and b) does not detract from the fact that I can see a real and measurable loss.
