    It's a court decision and I didn't comment, so how do I have 'obvious bias'?

    Mick,VW vehicles have been proven many many times to be the cleanest of all diesel engine vehicles on the road,but you have chosen to ignore the facts and be one a Mick crusade against VW. Just adding a further fact,VW doesn't have to come clean about anything, they have and continue to meet Australian emission standards without implementing the cheat software. Pat

    My mate has had nothing but trouble with his T4 VW diesel. After issues with suspect fuel, he was offered $1200 for a $40,000 vehicle as they said that's how much the repairs would cost. Took them to VCAT and lost. Poor bugger is gutted. Still owes a heap on the car and now it's worthless.

    Didn't you know, "real men"(tm) get their news and info from shouty fat men with youtube channels, not the "biased" ABC.

    "We say you can't simply recalibrate these engines and get all the same performance and fuel economy and wear and tear on engine life, and magically achieve very different emissions outcomes," he said.
    So when did a lawyer all of a sudden become and engineer? Its ironic that technology apparently never develops.
