BMW is now under attack as per the news here today. The same NGO that brought to light the VW scandal now is reporting to have tested here in Europe a BMW X3 equipped with the 20d engine, on the road, not in the lab, and has found that in reality it overshoots the European exhaust gas limits by 11 times...
BMW for now of course is playing innocent. Will be interesting to see how this story will keep building. Who knows, maybe our Pumas in reality are not Euro 4 and Euro 5, but only............

So, is an EGR illegal ? Surely that's also a cheat to artificially reduce emissions readings during a test and offers pretty much no benefit in normal driving ? http://www.yorkshireoffroadclub.net/

Have you bought a Volkswagen in the last five years?
You may have been mis-sold TDI. Call now and get your compensation claim started.  |

The EGR is fitted to reduce the NOx emissions. It would be illegal if the EGR was enabled or was programmed specifically to defeat the lab tests but would remain disabled otherwise in real driving conditions - That is not the case. It is illegal (at least in some countries, I believe in most European countries) to remove or disable the EGR, or tamper with any of the anti-pollution systems fitted on the car (that obviously includes DPF removal or fitting a decat exhaust). |

Was the Iveco Daily 4x4 withdrawn from the European market as it couldn't meet the necessary emission target? Seems I heard something about that. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

VW is sinking deeper into this. Switzerland have formally banned all sales of new VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat cars which are Euro5 and which have a 1.2TDI/1.6TDI/2.0TDI. Euro6 is ok. First country to do this, wonder if others will follow. You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

JLR confirms its emissions are honest...
< Linky... 
JLR CONFIRMS ITS EMISSIONS ARE HONEST By: Theo Ford-Sagers Date: 25.09.2015 Courtesy LROI Web Site Jaguar Land Rover has confirmed to LRO that it does not use technology that would manipulate an emissions test. JLR Confirms Its Emissions Are Honest Land Rover does not attempt to fool emissions tests, according to JLR As the Volkswagen emissions scandal spreads to Europe, concerns have been raised as to whether other manufacturers may also have played dirty. VW’s ‘defeat’ software, which puts the engine in a low-polutant mode purely in order to pass an emissions test, has been used to falsify results in the Europe as well as the USA, it emerged recently. As UK regulators prepare to re-test vehicles by other manufacturers to ensure the cheating is not widespread, JLR has expressed confidence in its emission reduction technologies, declaring to LRO that ‘Jaguar Land Rover does not use any emissions 'defeat' devices or software.’ Rog...

But that is different.
VW was singled out as there was some clever software that detected when it was in "test" mode, and cut emissions output |

No rules broken as
. All manufacturers will fail when measured in the real world compared to the test lab, but they were only ever asked to meet the emissions requirements in the lab. What VW did was defeat the lab test, which is why they should have the book thrown at them. My Disco 'best bits' Defender 110 XS CSW 2013 |
