US EPA accuses VW of cheating in oil burner tests

[p3asa]

The checker is now on the UK site but I thought we were all EU6 cars anyway?

I see my old Mk6 has failed.


"Dear Volkswagen customer,

We regret to inform you that the Type EA 189 engine built into your vehicle with the Vehicle Identification Number WVWZZZXXXXXXX you submitted, is affected by software that causes discrepancies in the values for oxides of nitrogen (NOx) during dynometer runs. Your car is safe from a technical standpoint and roadworthy.

We are very sorry to have broken your trust and are working at full speed to find a technical solution. Volkswagen will cover the cost relating directly to this repair.

We will be in touch with you directly to explain what steps are required. We'll do the necessary work at our cost.


Yours faithfully,

Volkswagen"

Just checked my VIN. Jan 13 GTD MK7. In the clear apparently! Honest...

All UK gtd's are unaffected.
