blwnsmoke Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 https://www.engadget.com/amp/2016/11/07/audi-reportedly-cheated-gas-engine-emissions-tests-too/ The California Air Resources Board has reportedly discovered that even more VW-Group vehicles were cheating emissions tests. The WSJ and Reuters(via German paper Bild) are talking about how regulators have found software in Audi cars that effectively masked their CO2 output under examination. The revelations were apparently made up to four months ago, but neither Volkswagen, Audi or CARB have made the news public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I mean, is it surprising that Audi vehicles....you know, ones that are part of VW....would have the same issues? File this under no s*** Sherlock for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

File this under no s*** Sherlock for me. The whole scandal was over DIESEL emissions... this is GAS emissions. Unless of course the writer does not know the difference between Gas and Diesel. I took the article as in their gasoline motors. Edited November 7, 2016 by blwnsmoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Rosadini Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Both? Why are we only hearing about the diesel settlement? Everything I have read about VW has pertained to diesels. Today, there is news about Audi fudging results in Calif. and CARB is on their case-and the EU is after CARBS info-that I took to mean gasoline-but again, all the settlement info we have seen involved only settlements to owners of diesels-or so I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Carb found the software on one automatic vehicle it checked last summer, the reuters article does not specify whether the vehicle was diesel or gas. Other generic articles are taking liberties with lack of information...LINK The California Air Resources Board (CARB) discovered the software in an automatic transmission Audi last summer,the German weekly newspaper said, without citing any sources.
