This won't stop at diesels. You can better the same con has been applied to petrol models. My V6 fsi Superb drink juice like a V16 if you drive it at all hard. Its fuel consumption is worse than my previous XR8 Ford.
In Australia, our emissions standards are poor, only equivalent of stage 4 in Europe & California. VW has pulled this stunt to get its diesel vehicle over the Stage 6 hurdles overseas. I've never believed VW/Skoda's claims about low CO2 emission from this R36 engine. It is logical they will have applied a similar con to petrol engines to main performance & avoid development costs.
It is all good as far as I'm concerned. VW, including VGA is going to have to offer big discounts now, to keep sales. They've got a long history of poor customer service to which they can add lying & deception.

Stick your boot far enough into any car and fuel figures will be terrible. I am getting close to what they claim but then I drive it like I own it , not like I stole it. Makes a big difference
Not this one which is titled Diesel con and moans about petrol engines.
To say they will have to offer big discounts to retain sales is another way of saying Im not happy but will be if they lower the price.
Wont alter running costs and will lower trade in prices as well. Jeeeeez
