    VW suspends thousands of UK car sales

    The company says the vehicles may be equipped with the device that cheated emissions tests in the United States.


    The German company said the move will involve four thousand vehicles across the VW group including the VW, Audi, Skoda and SEAT brands.


    The company says it is a temporary measure. It intends to return the vehicles for sale once a fix is identified for the cars.

        The irony here is that there is talk of possible jail talk for the executives of VW, yet few criminal charges have been bought against those bankers/traders responsible for Libor fixing etc........

              What is wrong with helping you through the MoT?

              Will all the schoolchildren who have private schooling, including tutors, have to resit all exams? Who cares if the reliability of testing is influenced by artefacts?

                    "I'm just a simple engineer from Michigan," says John German, the man who helped discover the Volkswagen emissions scandal.

                      VW hit by falling sales as crisis deepens

                      I am told that the first evidence that customers are turning away from VW will be revealed in the new car registration figures to be published by the Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders (SMMT)on Thursday morning.

                        anyone else get the feeling VW is just one manufacturer of many who will have been discovered doing this?

I am now saving the money each month that was making little difference to the balance and not a bit of difference to my credit file as a result of finding AAD.

                            VW cars can also cheat European emissions tests, BBC learns


                            VW's clever software knows when it's being tested, because the routine is the same every single time. Starting with a cold engine, in a lab that's between 20 and 30 degrees centigrade, it's then driven for six miles on a rolling road, no turns, with exactly the same gear changes at exactly the same times, and all within a speed at two km/h either side of set limits.

                            The whole thing, including some idle time, always lasts 20 minutes and 20 seconds.

                            So, we then tried to trick the computer into thinking it was out of the lab, by simply accelerating hard a few times, taking it above motorway speeds. Straight afterwards, we ran the Euro 5 test again, but with one simple difference. We started with a hot engine this time.

                              Sales of Volkswagen cars fell 20% in the UK last month following the diesel emissions scandal.
                              In November, 12,958 new VWs were registered, down from 16,196 in November 2014, SMMT figures show.
