Seriously though ... It's got to be group wide... I heard on a report one of their (vag group)own engineers sounded alarm bells internally over 4 years ago.. saying it was illegal..
Wonder if any of the engineers went to work for a.n.other manufacturer and said "I've an idea..".  | |||

"You probably won't end up paying any more tax anyway. The remapping of the ECU will result in the car being permanently in 'test' mode, therefore it will meet the regulations requirements (and the published figures). You will notice significantly reduced performance though. | |||

The whole group VW has produces 11mio cars..this includes Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, and overseas-brands SEAT and Skoda Brussels were informed about the issue in an internal memorandum from Berlin 4 1/2 years ago, when there were attempts to change the laws in regard of emissions linked to Diesel engines. It stayed an attempt due to the intervention of "Mutter Merkel" & friends as she pointed out that it would "ruin" a main stand of the German industry.
