True, but the aecd was divulged to EPA, and is therefore part of the compliance process. Hence no stop-sale on BMW diesels. Unlike VW. I know the emissions systems are complex in order to comply with the new regs, but that happens every time EPA lowers the emissions limits, and the carmakers eventually meet the new…

I had an affected TDI as well. Now I drive a BMW 328d. The vw cheated, and as many times as they’ve tried, they can’t find any cheating on the BMW. As long as that’s the case, it proves the emissions targets are indeed reachable, VW just tried to cheat out of greed. I’m not saying BMW isn’t greedy, I’m just saying…

Honda Civic hybrid was available with a manual...

Oops sorry Ce he sin, I shouldn’t have replied to your post

Nonsense. That’s not how the game is played, and it’s clear that while it’s hard for vw to retrofit all the diesels they’ve already produced, they’ve been able to lower emissions significantly just with a tune. There are sacrifices to be made to hit emissions targets, but I have a hard time believing a single of the…

Love the Peugeot 504 bad guy cars. I learned to drive stick on one.

OK why the fuck would you disable EGR at highway speeds? The engine isn’t under a great deal of strain, the turbo is running, keeping EGTs hot, perfect time to do EGR, no? I can see lowering EGR temporarily when you accelerate by why when you’re cruising?

Where are you? Around here, it’s exactly 5k off retail, 0% financing, no questions asked, no haggling. Some of the base models are getting some further discounts. I imagine you’re on the West Coast, since they love to pad their pricing. Google it, you can find the TSB that says VW will pay for new tires and brakes as…

Yep, all the fixes are for the cars originally sold with the Urea system. The Gen 1s are still farged.

That stretch sucks for traffic, it’s taken me 3 hours to get from Seattle to Oly before, but the stretch South of Salem and North of Eugene. Ugh. Flat, straight, nothing but dirt farms. But none of that compares to Pennsyltucky.

Yes yes yes exactly right, thank you Burneko! Comey was a dolt and a stooge, and Democrats are playing right into the orange monster’s hands by canonizing him now. The FBI is inherently anti-democratic, and will become even more so once the newest stooge is appointed. Thanks for saying what many of us are thinking!

I’m just going to go ahead and suggest that if you are thinking about a CPO vehicle, go ahead and get it checked by an independent mechanic. Our last car was a 2011 Jetta Wagon bought from a certain Ardmore, PA dealer, who sold it to us as CPO.

No no no, you silly people. He said between 2 and 5000. He needs to buy my 2001 TDI golf, it’s only got 224k miles, and has plenty left in it. It will run forever if maintained correctly.

One thing to keep in mind is that the “fix” for the EU is different that that for the US, and I suspect the same is true for the UK. They got a little tube that restricts air flow. 2015 owners here get a software update for a change in adblue dosage, and all new emissions parts.

I’m curious why CNN is saying they reached out to the Maduro government for comment and heard no response. I’d very much like to hear why they did this. Chavez was much better about explaining his actions, and had massive press conferences. It seems like Maduro doesn’t have that same knack for communication. Strange.

Answer 1: Tatra T603- of course. Includes reliable air-cooled engine and swiveling headlights.

TDI with 222k miles, runs strong. It’s not just the 1.8Ts that were long lasting.

Starred for flimflam generator and swizzle sticks. The germans are the worst with flimflam placement.

Counterpoint: My dad leased his 1984 Toyota Camry from Beaman Toyota in Nashville. Leasing was most certainly possible in the 1980s.
