As the vehicles currently on the road are never going to be tested
again, then removing the "cheat mode" is completely and utterly
pointless.

No it is not. They are producing emissions way above what they are meant
to. If altering the software so they stick within their claimed
emissions
also reduces the performance, it's up to the owner to get compensation.
There will be lots of others in the same position.


That isn't removing the "cheat mode", it's putting it permanently into
"cheat mode".


No, the cheat mode is what the vehicles normally run in. Under test,
giving nice clean results, they were *not* in cheat mode.


Tother way around ISTM. They cheat to pass, normally they don't pass.
