TDI: Volkswagen Making Progress with First Wave of Technical Measures for Diesel Engines

  • After three weeks implementation of measures on over half of the affected Amarok vehicles already completed
  • European Volkswagen Passat to be next
  • Implementation runs smoothly

Only three weeks after implementation of the technical measures for EA189 engines affected by the NOx issue commenced the Volkswagen Group has already successfully completed modification of over 50 percent of the first wave in Germany. By Thursday, new engine control software had been installed in some 4,300 Volkswagen Amarok. The vehicle now meets the limits required to comply with the EU5 emissions standard.

In December 2015, the Volkswagen Group presented specific technical measures to the Germen Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) for the EA189 engines affected by the NOx issue. As agreed, Volkswagen began implementing the measures at the end of January for engines with a capacity of 2.0 liters.

Over the next few months, the measures will also be implemented on engines with 1.2 and 1.6-liter capacities. Volkswagen started with the Amarok at the end of January. The Volkswagen Passat with the affected 2.0-liter engines will follow in March. Modification of the 1.2-liter engines is scheduled for the end of the second quarter. Completing the recall, the measures for vehicles with a 1.6-liter engine will be carried out from the third quarter of 2016.

A software update is planned for the 1.2-liter, 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter EA189 engines. The pure labor time for this will be less than half an hour, as has been confirmed by the measures carried out on the Amarok. For the 1.6-liter engine a flow rectifier will additionally be fitted to the intake duct with the expected labor time, inclusive of software update, of just under 45 minutes.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
