Off topic, but in order to get weird characters when copying and pasting I past into a text document on the computer first. Then copy and paste that into forum.
Extra step seems to work. |

Now that's information worth knowing! Thanks.

Has anyone investigated coverage under a Lemon Law? The cars were manufactured and sold with this defect. We might be covered.

The Federal emission law requires the manufacturer to warranty the catalytic converter, ECU, and on board diagnostic equipment (OBD) for 8 years or 80,000 miles. Don't know if those parts differ some for a diesel car.

Tell those lawyers good luck. They will first have to prove that the leadership at VW knew all along of the cheating, and its not clear to me that its a known thing at this time. And the 10X to 40X test results were a realistic on-road test, not the standard protocol test given by local inspection centers. The TDI's will only need to pass the standard, and current, test protocol. In addition, if it cost an unheard of $5k to retrofit the cars, that will still be a lot cheaper than a buy back - not to mention a retrofit will avoid setting a precedent to other countries - where most of these vehicles reside. Oh, and its not going to cost anywhere near $5k to fix them.

So what is happening right now if you own one of the cars in question and you need to go for emissions inspection, like tomorrow?
does your state's inspection facility just run the car through, as normal, knowing at this time full well the cheat code is engaged and the car, in fact fails to meet the regulations, and turn a blind eye until VW gets their plan together?

I never owned a diesel so I'm not sure but I don't think California has required testing of individual diesel automobiles-----------yet.

Pretty sure that it's business as usual until Nov 20. Had my 89 Ranger tested on Sat on the dyno and it blew a 1.26 for nox.

California does require testing diesel autos - for at least two years now.

It was common in CA, in the late 80s and 90s, to find gas Rabbits and Rabbit trucks that were converted to the 1.6 diesel, as the higher mileage gas engines would no longer pass without a rebuild. Swap the motor, and no more etest.
