Odd. I've been noticing smoke and nasty smells from new diesels for
years.
I know you can't smell NOX - but in theory all those cars should
pass a
visible smoke test at MOT time. So guessed if they smoke when it's
said
they don't, they were probably producing lots of other nasties too.


Ther have been quite a few reports about the air quality falling with
more particulates and NOX. Now we know why the quality is getting worse
despite better controls, VW have wrecked it for everyone and they
should
be sued by every asthma sufferer and any other illness that can be
caused by the cr@p they aren't supposed to emit but do.

Quite. They deserve to go under. But the government should take a hit
too.

FFS, you and Dennis need to get a grip. It is the climate change lobby
which needs to go under - preferably six feet.

This has nothing to do with climate change you idiot.

Actually it has, the whole drive to lean burn diesels was to meet CO2
emissions reductions. OK CO2 doesn't change the climate, but the
recieved wisdom is that it does.
