I don't believe the owner can be required to pay for the fix. VW/Audi will be required to pay for the "cheat defeat"? if it comes to that. I am more concerned about what I may have to spend on a tune to get it to run like it did when we purchased it. I chipped the 04 TDI and my 07 Grand Cherokee CRD and it is well worth it. More power and better mpg is better in my book. I guess it depends on whether you are more concerned about CO2 or NOx.
