Volkswagen under investigation over illegal software that masks pollution

[gldgti]

Gldgti and Umai Naa!! Case proven.......... a vw owner asking about recall and potential sponsor customer.(gldgti next time use whole post to quote not cut n paste)

Arcadelt , the only report I’ve seen (which others dispute without a link?)has said it slightly worsens fuel economy . But I’m sure others on here who’ve had it done could give a more detailed review in terms of power. Engine longevity hasn’t been an issue yet, but remains to be seen as that’s the clause in the euro 4/5 that vw claim allowed them to do it in the first place.
Last report was on previous pages; here’s another where we get a mention.
Aussies slow to grab VW's diesel fix

I was here in the early days, but gave up probably 1000 posts ago.

Found this one today apparently they have stored all the buyback Dieselgate VWs next to the Pikes Peak Speedway in Colorado love the fact that they don,t want anyone to take aerial photos .


But someone forgot to tell the guys at Google Earth that they did not want the photos shown .

Hey Sunny,
I saw some pics about this on a discussion board at work. Simply, wow. That’s a car park. There is another one in Victorville CA. Wonder if there are others...

Yes it seems that Google Earth have updated their aerial images because if you go to Street View it shows the field still covered in grass etc .Yes I bet this is just a small sample of storage areas for various parts of the US , I could not imagine they only use one site . Yep found this one next to the Victorville Airport again street view shows empty lot then its suddenly full of cars when seen from above .

There's one in Florida as well.

Bear in mind, the legal system in America allows a complainant to look a gift horse in the mouth, and check it's tonsils too.

The parking lot at the abandoned Pontiac Silverdome is another spot where they are storing some of the 400,000 cars bought back. I've read that some will be used for parts while others will be repaired and sold in the US and other markets. I'm not surprised that some are only able to be used for parts after the way they were returned when they were bought back - stripped of parts to the point that a Judge had to issue an order for owners not to strip the cars.

So all they need is a sign at the entry "VW Pick'n'Payless Spare Parts Yard"

You should check the ongoing thread about the cheating saga I already posted several photos from Google Earth with two sites . One at Pikes Peak Speedway and the other at Victorville Volkswagen under investigation over illegal software that masks pollution That one in the video is adjacent to the Victorville Airport , it gives an scale of how big the buyback is thanks for the video .
