Only a software update, turns out not to be enough for the cleaner to make of the Volkswagen diesel engines.

That has Michael Horn, CEO of Volkswagen Group of America last night stated during a hearing. The EA-189 2.0 TDI has both software and hardware updates are needed. That ruling relates to the first and second generation TDI’s in America is delivered.

The third generation of the TDI’s that Volkswagen in America delivers is with only a software update is clean enough to make, these are the engines that came in cars with a model year 2015. This seems to confirm that also in the newer engines, software testing and manipulates.

Customers who have the fix carried out to get (Volkswagen talks about working 5 to 10 hours by car), after the adjustments the same efficiency, but deliver the potential in what concerns performance metrics. This last seems to us to be fodder for lawsuits, as customers ultimately have paid for a certain performance. You can’t just take away, seems to us to be. A scenario could be that the cars of Volkswagen in addition to the rollers, always more performance to have had, and on the rollers exactly their ability afleverden. In that case we are talking about a whole new level of consumentenbedrog, because a car will always float has perceived at trial than those of competitors who abide by the rules.

Horn emphasized in his testimony that he never knew of the use of fraudulent software / hardware. He says that it is a choice of engineers, and that these decisions are not at the directional level. Whether that is true turns out to be we will no doubt not soon to find out, although the invasion of justice in the German headquarters, may provide a solution in this problem.
