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.
