Just because they fudged the test doesn't necessarily mean they are putting out more emissions than anything else.
I saw an emissions test of a whole range of vehicles while they were in use and they were all blowing a lot more than the claims. The emissions claims are based on a standard set of conditions, exactly the same as fuel consumption tests are conducted under a controlled environment, but on the road we all blow out well past those figures.Quote:

The technology driving the motor is the same across a lot of manufacturers, so VAG are not so unique.
Speaking to a VW salesman though, he said Dieselgate didn't affect his sales at all.
