Reply With QuoteMy Mk3 will be officially a vintage car by then and I will be able to get a historic car rego for it. Just a matter of whether I will be able to get spares, fuel and lubricants to keep it roadgoing.

13.5 years til the end of the IC engine in German.......then battery and fuel cell, or more specifically 'zero emission' new cars.

At the moment (after 20 years), ebay and autoparts suppliers in Europe/US are my newest best buddies. Hopefully it will stay that way all the way through to 30 years and then I will probably have to get a shipping container and start my own stockpile.

Volkswagen's Dieselgate Settlement Will Cost A Whopping $15 Billion: Report
Volkswagen’s Dieselgate settlement with American owners of its cheaty diesel cars will cost the company more than $15 billion, or five billion dollars more than was originally reported, according to Bloomberg. More than $10 billion of that is slated just to go to Volkswagen owners.

I understand the EGR valve remains closed at WOT, if so couldn't it be easily fooled with an ECU tweak rather than all the blanking off work?.
