Volkswagen dieselgate scandal - can I still make a legal claim?

I have just read your news story on Volkswagen's legal settlement over the emissions scandal claim: https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/legal-motoring-advice/2022-05/volkswagen-group-agrees-gbp193m-settlement-for-dieselgate-claimants/

Where do things now stand regarding compensation payments for owners of affected cars? Is it too late to make a claim?

I am afraid we cannot give legal advice (we are journalists and not lawyers). If you want to make a claim you will need to seek professional advice from a solicitor.
