Just in from the CA DMV for TDI Owners while settlement drags on:
If your registration is due and you have to SMOG Please read/Print and take with you to smog appointment or DMV.....from the state!
Thank you to the Office of State Senator Ted Gaines for tracking this down and making available to us all!
"The VW diesel defeat devices will not cause a Smog Check failure because the defeat device also defeats the Smog Check inspection. The diesel Smog Check inspection involves scanning the vehicle’s on-board computer and checking for fault codes, a visible smoke test, and a visual inspection of the emissions systems. The Smog Check data shows that VW diesel vehicles affected by the defeat devices will still be correctly tested during a Smog Check inspection for other emissions system failures. Any VW diesel vehicle owners with problems passing the diesel Smog Check inspection where it is believed to be affected by the VW defeat device can contact me directly to investigate further with the Air Resources Board.
