I will never forgive VW for cheating on diesel emissions. That corruption went so far throughout the org the entire company should've been criminally indicted and shut down.
- OptionOfT 10mo agoAnd there was a solution available. AdBlue. Mercedes already used it, and so did BMW. But VW didn't want to use it. And because of this scandal VW pulled their diesels, AND both Mercedes and BMW followed suit. Quite sad, because an X5 diesel had really good mileage (if you used it for longer distances).
- MrDrMcCoy 10mo agoMy diesel VW had adblue, and still was affected by deiselgate. The ecu fix took my highway mpg from 35-50 to 18-24, and made the APR tunes incompatible.
- general1465 10mo agoCompared to what diesel trucks running across the country are exhaling daily, then what VW did is absurdly negligible.
- Garvi 10mo ago> what VW did is absurdly negligible You're both completely right, while you're completely wrong.
- calmbonsai 10mo agoNo. They deliberately programed entire generations of diesel engines to give the wrong smog emissions results by knowing the environment and duty-cycle of emissions testing. On both total emissions as well as emissions/ton/mile metric, long-haul commercial fleet diesel trucks are far better than the millions of polluting and poorly maintained small displacement privately owned diesel cars and pick-ups.
