Has anyone any information on the "software" fix that will allow Merc to start registering and selling diesel cars?

Mercedes has halted the sale of new registrations till an emissions "fix" has been designed and fitted to some diesel cars!
I was wondering if anyone new when the fix was being done?

Seems unlikely as they have some new engines (2l and 3l)

"used" cars on Merc's approved used list registered in June easy to find...KO18EOC registered 20/6/18

It's also mentioned in Best Car Leasing Deals: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

"New car day! GLA AMG Line due this morning, booked in for delivery back in April/May. Excitement!

Emailed Mercedes to see where it is.

"Sorry, we forgot to tell you it's not being released to you now, as it has an emissions recall. We don't know when it will be fixed. We don't know if we can give you a spare car. We don't know why we didn't tell you sooner.""

I cancelled my daughters one yesterday and reordered a petrol instead!
