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,

  • VW incorrect CO2 emissions

    This one is a bit weirder. CO2 emissions goes to fuel consumption. Everybody knows the quoted fuel consumption figures are not real world figures. So the quoted figures are based on a test cycle.

    ICCT on real world vs lab fuel consumption From laboratory to road: A 2015 update | International Council on Clean Transportation

    So basically, the regulators had added financial tax incentives for manufacturers to lower CO2 emissions, and the manufacturturers have all done their best!

    ICCT: As our series From Laboratory to Road has made clear over the past three years, in reality, co2 emissions from passenger cars in everyday operation have not declined as much as these official statistics would seem to indicate, which has become a subject of rising concern.
    Do some cars have another engine map for producing lower CO2 emissions by reducing fuel consumption different from the emissions map that presumably runs more EGR for lower NOx?

    Or would they get away with one map that uses more boost and high EGR in "limp home mode" that can achieve both better economy (lower CO2) and lower NOx at the expense of high end power????

    The data in the ICCT paper from spritmonitor.de (page9) shows BMW,Daimler,Toyota and Audi producing better CO2 that average and VW doing worse than average. The average divergence of real world CO2 from "type approval"is about 35%. So the focus on CO2 might be a bit of strategic mud slinging in progress???
