I hope it isn't true as it could do enormous damage to the company.
I wonder is this a 'cheat' or just like MPG figures ?
Could this be why the Evoque was their best seller for years and until recently the most economical.Is this across the board or certain vehicle mainly Evoques, hopefully Evoques, Just Evoques, or similar vehicles I dare not mention oh sod it Evoques.

I agree with most of what Nodge says but to say " as we all know diesel engines are dirty things anyway. " Is way off the mark for modern diesels, many are now cleaner than equivalent petrol's.

I think it depends on you're own definitely of clean.I agree with most of what Nodge says but to say " as we all know diesel engines are dirty things anyway. " Is way off the mark for modern diesels, many are now cleaner than equivalent petrol's.
I think it depends on you're own definitely of clean.
A petrol engine burns as cleanly as a gas engine, but a diesel produces Ultra Fine Particulates (UFPs), which definitely aren't clean, or good for humans, or any other air breathing animal.
No amount of DPFs or the addition DEF will stop the production of UFPs being produced completely, but they do reduce the size of the articulates, which is apparently even worse than large soot particules.
Petrol being a volatile liquid, readily forms a gas, and this is how it's burned, so it's inherently free of UFPs.
CO2 production is per KWh is a different form of pollution, and a diesel does produce less CO2 than an equivalent output petrol engine.
But as far as cleanliness goes, they're as different as chalk and cheese, especially older EU4 and earlier diesels.
As I understand it with the increase in the uptake of petrol vehicles on the road the overall CO2 levels have risen?
Is this basically just the new version of PPI claims?
I guess now PPI claims have ended the lawyers from the ‘no win, no fee’ brigade haven’t got anything to do??
My question is, claim compensation for what? Polluting the neighbours?Asking you to enter yer details in the event there is a claim.
That bugged my when VW initially made the headlines. It's not a device, it's simply a software routine.They also refer to 'cheat device' which annoys me. It's not a device. It's a section of software that reads... "if the engine revs are about 2500 and my wheels ain't turning and it's been like that for x amount of time, then burn fuel differently untill the revs drop to tickover". Under those circumstances the car would guess it's being tested.
From what I understand about this... the cases are being raised under the Consumer Protection for Unfair Trading Act 2008. The act protects buyers from unfair trading practices where a seller may mislead the buyer intentionally or leave out vital information they should have been given. The buyer will have bought on the basis of taking into account the info given to them (at the time of sale) on the spec of the vehicle, including the emissions. In theory they may have made the decision not to buy said vehicle if they had of known the truth of it being less efficient than the figures given. You can claim up to 100% of the purchase price as a deterrent to manufacturers to take the act seriously.My question is, claim compensation for what? Polluting the neighbours?
