This isn't really specific to Golfs but I note there are several threads that mention it. I'm confused.
I though WLTP was the name of a test. Is this true?
But is there also new legislation that includes, amongst other things, requiring a particulate filter in a petrol car?
If the above is true, where is the balanced thinking that offsets the unavoidably worse efficiency caused by putting a resistance in the exhaust with the vanishingly small amount of particulate emissions produced by a modern petrol engine?

There’s a wealth of information about the whole thing here - http://wltpfacts.eu

Yes, thanks. It is "Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure"
But how is it that a different fuel consumption test has such major consequences that are affecting the supply chain of VW Golfs?
And is the need for a particulate filter somehow associated with WLTP? Or was that fake news?

The Petrol particulate filter is to please the tree huggers and those clowns in Brussels.
