That the people in Wolfsburg their fixes for the 1.6 and the 2.0 TDI that are ready to go we already knew, that ‘t is so little to the body, however, has not.

In a press release, VW let you know that the technical measures that are needed to get the offending EA 189-engines still in accordance with European law – and regulations to make, in fact, relatively few proposals. In addition, the measures adopted by the Federal Motor Transport Authority, so go there, but from that the quantity is now really solved.

For the lover of technical interpretation will be followed by technical explanation.

The 1.6 TDI’s get a flow transformer, which ensures that the sensor that the air mass in the inlaattraject measure better and so is more accurate works. To one another smoothly to let it expire, get the software update. All in all it takes the fix by car in less than 1 hour.

Than the 2.0 TDI’s. These units get purely a software update, and that takes all together about a half an hour. Why? We let VW himself the word.

Thanks to advances in engine development and improved simulation or currents inside complex air intake systems, in combination with software optimisation geared towards this, it has been possible to produce a relatively simple and customer-friendly measure.

The updates set so no flute for it, especially if you consider how much attention there is paid to Dieselgate. However, VW believes that the whole of 2016 is still going to be involved with fixing all the infected diesels. For that matter, the 1.2 in this story that are missing: the fix for the engine will be at the end of this month to be tested and is as yet purely a software update.

UPDATE: Volkswagen shows in a letter that the aid be repaid, ant info in this article!

*or at least: within the European Union.
