Think about that and it stands to reason someone somewhere will come up with a way to cheat the system. Once one manufacturer has done it and got away with it, others will follow. Just hunted online for the latest Vauxhall scandal and in the side bits, it also cites VAG, Mercedes, Fiat-Chrysler and other results showed the Zafira was known about back in 2015 when Renault owned Vauxhall (or most of it) and supplied the diseasel lumps. https://www.am-online.com/news/marke...-defeat-device That really only leaves BMW, Ford and Volvo out of the mainstream manufacturers that haven't been investigated. When so many manufacturers have been found to have emissions cheating devices installed, can you really believe that diesels are clean? I think not! __________________ Cheers Dave Next Door to Top-Gun with a Honda CR-V & S Type Jag Volvo gone but not forgotten........
