Spray pattern / atomisation characteristics.

Got my letter from Audi today. Told me what I already knew, which was basically that it is affected and they are going to be in contact once a technical solution has been confirmed.

I too got my letter from audi confirming that my vehicle had the e189 which i already knew. Just very intrigue on how they will fix the issue and what performance loss the car will lose being a 2.0tdi
Soldato
I'm hoping for 0% performance loss. I'd rather lose the odd mpg here and there but we will see.

it was a 2009 Polo Dune, sorry missed it from my post.

I'm also hoping for Zero performance loss, but I just can't see it, as they need to burn the Nox to bring down to required level, but then surely that will affect the DPF
Tests aren't performed flat out, therefore it is very unlikely you will see a performance loss.
All they'll do is modify the software / injectors so it burns cleaner in the areas it needs to to pass the official test (not to be confused with an MOT test, this has nothing to do with the MOT)
No one gives a **** about emissions when your foot is buried in the shagpile, it all about heat management at that stage. Although saying that, dervs work the oposite to petrol, more fuel is more heat, petrol is less fuel more heat.

And the guy who announced the cheating is called Mr Lies.

More bad news for VW

That flies in the face of all the revelations we've heard so far, that VW were warned about this in 2011 and decided to do nothing. I rather doubt that decision would have been down to a software engineer. It might have been a software engineer that came up with the scheme (maybe, seems unlikely), but as soon as management knew about this the responsibility rested on their shoulders.
Such blatant lying/blame deflection suggest they haven't yet learned any lessons, so I don't feel too bad about the shafting that they are going to be receiving.

Also got the letter a few days ago, my 2013 Caddy 2.0tdi is affected.

Is it ?
take a less inflammatory source

We don't know yet if the accelerated warm up cycle only took place during testing. If it took place all the time, its a non issue.
And that draws the same conclusion as I reached. Endemic rot, with upper management lying and pointing fingers in any direction but their own.
Despite having a considerable length of time to prepare for this, they haven't even been able to concoct a good story and stick to it. No honour amongst corporate scum bags.
Have just seen this - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-34705604
I am looking forward to it, dad has an A8 3.0TDI so hopefully should get a nice courtesy car for the day

Interesting that VW are denying it, the details in the EPA Notice seem pretty damning

Agreed, sounds pretty advanced so not sure how they could ever argue it wasn't intentional.
