Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

So it isn't a rouge engineer or intern
VW Had A PowerPoint Presentation On How To Cheat Emissions Tests: Report
Log In - The New York Times
The presentation has been discovered as part of the continuing investigations into Volkswagen, according to two people who have seen the document and have spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the legal action against the company. It provides the most direct link yet to the genesis of the deception at Volkswagen, which admitted late last year that 11 million vehicles worldwide were equipped with software to cheat on tests that measured pollution in emissions.
It is not known how widely the presentation was distributed at Volkswagen. But its existence, and the proposal it made to install the software, highlight a series of flawed decisions at the embattled carmaker surrounding the emission problem.Last edited by Amalgam; 27-04-2016, 02:37 PM.

Thanks for the links guys.
The youtube video by Felix Domke (IT) and Daniel Lange (ex BMW engineer).
slides here:
Daniel gives a great overview of the car industry from an engineer's perspective. He mentioned it takes 10,000 engineers to build a car in VW group!
Felix has analysed by reverse engineering exactly how the ECU has been manipulated using one of two engine maps, a specific set of variables and a little bit of code. For his car using SCR, the "alternative model" turns adblue consumption right down.

I suspect anyone complaining in Australia has their facts wrong, since our emission laws are easily passed.2015 Polo Comfortline 6M + Driving Comfort Package
