Thankfully i have a SEAT that has the next generation EA288 2lt diesel in & its unaffected.
Runs very well & puts next to nowt thats visable oot its exhaust. good job its £20 road tax.
same equ NEW car with same engine is now £140 to tax? its bonkers.
Why should they bother doing anything about it, when people keep buying them?
A friend bought a new Evoque, had to sell it at a year old, couldn't depend on it.
Fuel problems. Could not sort it.
mine has the later engine & i can assure you its not very polluting.Yours should be £140 to tax as thats the emissions its really emitting, because cheat mode only comes into play when testing, and the emissions that are the problem are invisible gasses.
I do find it ironic that London will allow cars in free due to a known cheat of the system and polluting more than other cars that are paying.
The emissions are on paper less on the earlier version of same engine... this is the unaffected EA288 Engine familyYours should be £140 to tax as thats the emissions its really emitting, because cheat mode only comes into play when testing, and the emissions that are the problem are invisible gasses.

Land Rover 300tdi engine, the best engine ever built
Of course they would/do.Be ideal running on LPG. I doubt any US diesel from Ford/GM or Cummins would pass EU emissions standards.
It’s very rare you hear of engine failures theses days....it’s usully the electronicsI have to say that Imo BMW have always seemed to make the best modern diesels. They just seem to have the right formula, something lost to JLR. There are other good engines now not in production but BMW seem to have been getting it right for a long time.
So they were still seizing after 2012?The new design they mentioned at the end did not work. If anything they were worse.
So whats in current LR vehicles of a similar size must be a diff engine family again is it ?The new design they mentioned at the end did not work. If anything they were worse.

Read back a few posts and you will find that a proportion of new ones are still failing.So they were still seizing after 2012?
Same engine family throughout, the Ford/Peugeot 'Lion' V6 and V8 diesel.So whats in current LR vehicles of a similar size must be a diff engine family again is it ?
Running in this case a LR product out of makers warranty is a risky job theres plenty who will back me up
on this. Yet alot of the foreign made shall we say competition doesnt seem to have this stigma.
Yes we had a 2012 Audi hatch with 1.6 Tdi engine that lunched 2 injectors in rapid succession within a month on having EA189 applied. Both were repaired gratis but Audi made me sign a slip that said words to the effect that the injector fault was nought to do with the emissions update. Car was sold within 3 months.I know about VW being naughty.
So have they done the fix and then the fix is causing issues?
What does that tell us about the moral integrity and trustworthiness on VW Group? That they cheated their customers to gain a commercial advantage and then cause untold problems with a 'remedy' and force customers to either pay for subsequent repairs or sign false declarations that excuse them from liability.Yes we had a 2012 Audi hatch with 1.6 Tdi engine that lunched 2 injectors in rapid succession within a month on having EA189 applied.

That's one car manufacturer that will not get a penny out of my pocket ever again. On principle.
