Isn’t it funny how an air pump that injects clean air into the exhaust to dilute it is an Ok method to achieve ppm, but this isn’t.

“It was Mr. Kodjaks group, in conducting research on diesel vehicles, that first noticed the discrepancy between Volkswagens emissions in testing laboratories and on the road. They brought the issue to the attention of the E.P.A.”
Looks like they MET THEIR MATCH. As anyone from my generation can tell you - you’re not going to come out on top if you mess with Kojak.

Lord no. Just wait until the cost of these fines and recalls add another 5 grand to vehicle costs. I don’t think people realize how much of the vehicle cost is due to these idiot mandates. Manufacturers should start listing them as mandatory line items on the window sticker

Without that emissions junk - that engine gets like 44 MPG - range of over 600 miles. The greenstapo should like that.

VW will give out a software patch to remove the offending program. Then all the folks who own these cars will not be able to pass their emission tests.

This is amusing. Diesel engines use much less fuel than their gasoline counterparts. The EPA has had it out for Diesel cars for years. VW did the logical thing - game the system which is exactly what the EPA does. Diesel pollution is responsible for all these deaths, eh? Prove it! The EPA needs to go.

Wow.
Somebody at Volkswagen was sneaky enough to figure out how to fake-out the government testing program?
The VA will be trying to hire this person.

So that’s how one gets great performance and low emissions out of a diesel VW.

Or give them a software patch that enables the car to pass the test, but prevent those in the northern climes from being able to start the cars in the winter.

VW needs to start making the WW2 Schwimwagens again. Think of a “Thing” with a propeller on the back.
To: JediJones
Sounds like a sleazy move by Congress, who has no Article 1, Section 8 authority to regulate that software.
