There can be a direct relationship between AdBlue in the Dieselgate scandal, which is a key consideration for anyone settling a claim for compensation.
One of the biggest fears is that the removal or the deactivation of technology that could amount to a defeat device could lead to increased running costs for users. There are also the concerns about reduced efficiency and performance of vehicles as well, which can also be considered.

About AdBlue and the Dieselgate scandal
There are a number of links between AdBlue and the Dieselgate scandal which could result in people spending more money on their vehicles once a defeat device has been removed or deactivated. You may have seen a lot about AdBlue and the Dieselgate scandal in terms of how the two are linked, so let us briefly explain how they can be.
Ultimately, we cannot know for certain precisely why some vehicle manufacturers may have engaged in behaviour to cheat emissions tests. The most plausible theory is that they knew that adhering to the rules could result in higher costs for people running vehicles, and could result in the performance being adversely affected. This is because reducing emissions can be achieved by forcing engines to work inefficiently.
When it comes to AdBlue, one of the theories is that it may need to be topped up more regularly as a result of a defeat device being removed or deactivated. This means that the costs of running vehicles could increase for the user, which may be one of the motivations behind why manufacturers decided to cheat. Whilst cheating is never acceptable, this is the way that things seem to have gone.
When it comes to compensation, the question of AdBlue and the Dieselgate scandal may be that any settlement could account for the fact that the usage of AdBlue may need to be increased.
Your rights to pursue emissions justice
We are pursuing dozens of carmakers as a result of allegations that they have engaged in behaviour that could cheat vital lifesaving emissions regulations. If any vehicle manufacturers are found to have deployed technology that could amount to a defeat device, we say they may be in breach of the law and they may owe consumers significant compensation.
So far in England and Wales, Volkswagen settled claims for hundreds of thousands of drivers without any admission of liability. In respect of pursuing a case, this means that people can still settle their claim which is the outcome we are looking to achieve.
If you have owned or leased a diesel model over the last decade or so, you could be entitled to significant compensation. You can find out if you are eligible to pursue a legal case by completing a few forms on our website here now.
