The Volkswagen petrol engine Cheat Codes

As predicted other engines made by VW are being investigated for cheating software on gas or petrol powered cars. as well as diesels . The focus is on CO2 emissions rather than the more deadly nitrogen oxide emission cheat. CO2 is slowly killing the planet as there are less trees every year to convert it to oxygen and obviously leading to climate change. Apparently the engine in question is the petrol 1.4 super charged and turbo charged engine in question – a former engine of the year too I believe…

If these other manufacturers have to abide by the rules than so should VW. In response to the CO2 revelations, the VW PR machine have implicated other manufacturers into the scandal and also blaming their processes.  They even have supposedly gotten the government in Europe somewhere apparently to say that the emissions are too strict – even as the Fog the kills returns to London. This tactic is typical VW PR or marketing 101 where any announcement is vague. Nonetheless it also points out the problem we have with measuring fuel consumption for instance. VW seem arrogant enough to think they have superior tech and knowledge to government labs which may be true but again its marketing 101. I guess they assume they have government on side. Just remember that their deception was uncovered by barely funded rookies and all sounds like a movie plot.

In the end though there are huge financial implications to all parties involved and as a result VW will inevitably survive until the next scandal.
