Protection Agency U.S. environmental (EPA), which has accused Volkswagen of cheating with the level of pollutants in September, said the other “deceptive” engine group — this time we are talking about a V6 diesel.
In an open message, sent to VW, refers to the same cunning software engines that were used for diesel engines series EA189 (1,2-2,0 l). Signified, by detecting the connection of the test equipment puts the engine in a more “pure” mode with a reduced emission of nitrogen oxide. According to the EPA, won't be one second after completion of the test, as V6 on heavy fuel will start “real” work cycle and the level of NOx will increase by approximately 9 times.
Thus, under the prosecution got Volkswagen Touareg 2014 model year, the 2015 Porsche Cayenne and the Audi A6, A7, A8 and Q5 cross 2016. Only in the States of such models, there are at least ten thousand.
The VW has reacted to the situation, and representatives of the company told the media that special software was not used for these engines. However, in EPA, it seems, are more than serious message to German concern carries a direct accusation.
Let's see if you don't have to remind them that “diesel” scandal could cost the company several tens of billions of euros. It's like spending on a service campaign for 11 million “fraudulent” models with motors EA189 and possible penalty in the United States, coupled with the fall of the stock and related issues with investors.
