Hi Guys just received letter from Skoda Australia,

 

"  due to the number of Engine Management softwares,

    we anticipate  to commence technical solution , in April 2016, the next release

    will Launch during the remainder of 2016 "

 

further info is available @ "S=www.skoda.com.au/dieselinfo.

 

Thought I would pass on.

Thank you. Most enlightening little clip which I haven't seen before in Europe...

Sorry my bad typing,

here is a proper Link.

So if it's that simple why didn't they do it 8 years ago and save 5 billion pounds

Sat here Tuting and shacking my head

The first of the FAQ is a down right lie for a start!

 

No change there then!

Without starting WW3 in yet another speculative thread full of fury, hypercritical talk and making out to be hard done by: it's only a car and all/most other car makers have been "at it" for decades. The rules have been imposed, and the makers have to comply with the rules. In all the small print, they say the figures are obtained under test conditions. I know there is a lot of political pressure involved, as it seems the politicians have been ambitious in promoting ever lower emissions, and the makers are struggling to keep up!

 

My reading is that VW jumped the gun early on, before they had advanced their technology enough, to try and gain market advantage. Quite why the USA decided to lift the rug up sounds a bit protective. Perhaps VW were taking the p*** more than some others, who knows?

 

I know the JLR software guys were chuckling when it all surfaced, even my old 2002 MG TF had test dodging software installed. So what?

 

This is just my speculation - all the news is contained on non Yeti threads elsewhere on Briskoda and perhaps we can keep it there and leave us Yeti folk to scratch our beards

Q:    What is the problem on the affected vehicles?

A:    The emissions levels may not meet the regulatory requirements when the affected vehicle is driven under normal conditions.

 

 

Hmm, struggling to see the 'downright lie' in that.  Are you quibbling over the use of "may", rather than perhaps "will"?  It's a point for debate I suppose, unless it's known for certain that affected vehicles never meet the regulatory requirements under normal driving conditions.  Do we know that?

ejs, I wouldn't bother trying to reason with sufferers from perceived victim hood-didn't one of them bemoan the failure of human rights legislation to wipe their eyes and kiss them better? The now acknowledged fact that if you set clever people completely arbitrary targets they will find equally artificial means to tick the box and thereby appear to meet them. This is more worrying when it leads to queued ambulances at A&E. My previous Yeti was a diesel and a very good vehicle and there is no doubt current ones are. I don't see any prospect of monetary gain for owners and feel disquiet at how bad people are feeling about this-they need to come to terms with having the vehicle they chose working as they have always expected and find some serious problem to attend to.

Prove it is a lie.

Well partly the "may" because it is known that most cars don't come anywhere near the test figures in real world use. We all know that and along with fuel consumption figures take them with a pinch of salt.

 

It just made me smile that they have come up with such a limp-wristed answer when we know that the real reason was that they were caught cheating!

If that is aimed at me nothing could be further from the truth and my Yeti is Euro 6!

 

Just amused at VAG continuing with the smoke and mirrors when they are pretending to be open and transparent now!

 

And even after the work has been carried out the cars "may" still not meet the regulatory requirements! Very few cars do and if that was the real reason then other manufacturers would have to take remedial action.

I see you had your say before telling others to do it elsewhere.

Oh dear, I didn't "tell" anyone to do anything.

 

I prefer the less aggressive approach to a conversation - I have other things to get worked up about

Maybe not "tell" but the inference was clearly there.

 

As you say more important things to worry about. Now which bottle of red should I go for!
