Title: VW diesel and computerized emission controls
Post by: Cameron on September 22, 2015, 11:37:47 AM

Interesting...

VW's TDI diesel emission controls only work when the car is being tested for emissions.
The car's computer turns on the emission controls, when the car's computer senses it is on a rolling dyno road test.
