Volkswagen emissions scandal - early business lease termination

I'm a plumber and back in June 2014 I leased ( on a three year deal) a Touran through my business. It's fitted with the EA189. I'm thinking about approaching Volkswagen and just saying ' look, you fibbed big time and the vehicle was mis-sold under the trades descriptions act' because at the end of the day IT WAS. I understand that I could well have to pay 50% of the outstanding rentals but if I was to remind Volkswagen of their naughty little scam?

If you can do this, everyone can and if everyone can Volkswagen goes bust. So you can't. Besides which, the mods to comply with EU6 are very minor. (The mods to comply with EPA Nox limits are more extensive.)
