Just because VAG fiddled some tests shouldn't make all diesels

All the measurements made in city centres say diesels are the main
source of harmful pollutants. CO2 not being regarded as a harmful
pollutant in this case.

Next they'll be banning gas boilers. They are not far behind with their
NOx emissions in city centres.

But no particulates.

What particulates? All modern diesel cars have DPF filters.

Aww, bless. I can still remember believing that they worked. ;-)

Your link to the article that shows they don't work please?


No link, just the evidence of my own eyes. Considering the proportion of
diesels now fitted with DPFs, visibly black exhausts ought to be
disappearing fast. This is definitely not the case.

Ther is no visibly black exahaust on my 2005 freelander unless its
either just been started or there is a split in the turbo hose.

And that's with the EGR bypassed as well.
