VW to give Aust govt car info next week

VOLKSWAGEN have promised government an update next week on whether Australians have been sold cars fitted with devices to cheat emissions tests.

The consumer watchdog will demand answers when it meets with local Volkswagen executives.

VOLKSWAGEN customers in Australia should find out next week whether their cars will be recalled as part of the emissions-cheating scandal that has rocked the German car maker.

VOLKSWAGEN and Audi officials met with the federal government and the consumer watchdog on Friday, promising to update them on whether Australians have been sold cars fitted with so-called defeat devices to cheat emissions testing.
