Yes - I did wonder about this. Bosch (and others) generally supply much of
the injection, and I'd guess would also be involved with writing the
software. Since they will be supplying much the same to other makers too.
So - again a guess - is they are the author of the software involved. So
wonder if it was hacked by VW?

To e-mail, change noise into sound.

What I would like to know is the difference between the emissions before the tests were brought in and the emissions reported by the dodgy software and the emissions level claimed to be achieved. Are we talking huge differences here ?

Its not that long since we had to listen to the diesel fan boys about how cleamn diesel was compare to petrol
