Volkswagen launches online look-up tool for owners concerned their cars are caught up in emissions scandal

Volkswagen is providing an online look-up tool to help identify its cars affected by the emissions issue.

The tool only allows checking of vehicles from Volkswagen passenger cars or Commercial Vehicle divisions, but it says other brands in the group will launch their own self service tools shortly.

As AM publishes this, the tool was failing to cope with the amount of traffic it was getting, leaving users with an error message in its place.
