    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    It's a lease with Audi Care...tires may make it the duration of the lease. And tires at the dealer even with $500 credit aren't much cheaper than they are at the tire shop...certainly not cheaper than good used ones for lease turn in

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    Don't get me started on the idiots in LA that get on the freeway and drive for 3 exits to take their kids to school. Hello, surface streets, at the least?!

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    This time I'm not sure about that. I think it may be (shockingly) easier for the public and the press to forgive the automakers when people die...the rationale being "they couldn't have intended people to die." Here, it looks like they (or someone, at least) intended to deceive. Shared by...

    A side question I had....Because the power testing was done on a dyno...perhaps the emissions system was in full gear at the time thereby cutting power.

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    This was my initial thought...EPA just going after all 2.0 TDIs and not appreciating the differences between non-SCR and SCR cars

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    Indeed it is...I really wanted a 328d...I just couldn't justify the $100+ per month premium for it. Set your posts per page to 100 or more and it makes it easier I think.

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    I only gave it a cursory view...but it looks like, on average, the "clean diesels" aren't so...at least with respect to NOx

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    Assuming BMW didn't cheat, my guess is that they spent the time and money required in extra engineering to get their 2 liter diesel to not only produce more power and torque while getting better mileage (this is mainly due to the 8spd ZF tranny), but also to meet the requirements. Because the...

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    I took mine in a little early today for the 15k mile service...I have 10k miles before I have to face the fix...unless I want to give up the money I paid for the maintenance plan.

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    Someone needs to clarify this...the SCR/adblue cars are also being recalled..or are they? I'm confused about this.

    Of course I could be wrong as well, but I think it may be other way around...because DSG software limiting torque, there is no issue with DSG...it seems that those that have thrown codes have the 6MT.

    When I had the box on my car my economy was up about 5-10% depending on the day. Per the display it went from about 40-41 mpg to 43-44 mpg each way on my daily commute (30 miles each way, mixed, to/from downtown LA).

    I will say that even in stock form I've noticed the diesel's don't like the heat...even modest heat. Much more so than gasoline cars.

    So if we assume 10% drivetrain loss, we're at 171 crank and the car is underrated?
