NO2 kills about 2,600 people each year in London.

Across Europe this is easily tens of thousands of people and it's easily an order of magnitude over 150.
VW market share is about 20% of that [2]
so about 4000 deaths if they polluted their fair share, but since they polluted 20% to 40% more that's about 2000/year additional deaths?
numbers are all over the place however, too many uncertainties and unmeasurable factors.
also my number doesn't come anywhere close to other estimates[3]
