Introduction: How to Check If Your Volkswagen or Audi Is Affected by the Diesel Scandal for FREE
For this tutorial you will need:
- An OBD adapter
- either a generic ELM327 adapter, or Carista's adapter.
- An Android or iOS smartphone
Step 1: Download and Launch Carista App
Step 2: Insert You OBD Adapter Into the Car's OBD Port
Consult your owners manual, if you can't find it.
Step 3: Launch the App and Click on "Is My VW or Audi Affected?"
Step 4: Select You Location and Click on "Yes, Connect Now"
Step 5: There You Go
N.B. You can also enter the information manually without an adapter, however I highly suggest the automatic option as it is more precise.

Or just use Volkswagen's website:

or one of the other VW related brands:
http://skoda-recallactions.skoda-auto.com/en-GB
http://www.audi.co.uk/content/audi/owners-area/emi...
http://www.skoda.co.uk/owners/dieselinfo/pages/che...
Those links are for UK, the search engine of your choice will help you if you live elsewhere.No smart phone, app, ODBC tester needed.
