- rconti 11y agoThe other sources I've seen specifically said ANY time a vehicle was tested, this did not show up. Tests are typically done on a dynomometer. One easy solution would be trigger the clean mode when the front (driven) wheels are spinning but the rears are not.
- hliyan 11y agoIt's a lot worse than that: "Only then did VW admit it had designed and installed a defeat device" that purposely lowered emissions while a vehicle was being inspected, the agency said. During regular driving, emissions would return to as much as 40 times the level of pollutants allowed under clean air rules. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/09/21/usa-volkswagen-idINL5N11R0TU20150921 http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/09/21/usa-volkswagen-idI...
