11 Jul 2018|1,143 views
In the course of addressing the diesel crisis, Audi AG has reached an important milepost. As announced in advance, following the conclusion of internal technical analyses of all its V TDI engines, the company today passed on its essential findings to the German Federal Motor Vehicle Transport Authority (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt, KBA) as the responsible authority.
The extensive investigations looked at all V6 and V8 TDI engines, which Audi uses in mid-range and full-size models.
The experts have therefore also already examined the status of all those second generation evo and third generation power units that have been brought out since mid-2014 or in fact will only be appearing from the introduction of the new Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure emission standard from 1st September 2018.
So far, the KBA has issued the company with seven notices for mandatory software updates in connection with the diesel crisis. These apply to a total of around 240,000 vehicles worldwide. As agreed at the Diesel Summit in August 2017, Audi is offering a voluntary software update for 370,000 vehicles with V TDI engines in Germany to improve emissions in real road traffic conditions.
The retrofit programme is always free of charge for Audi customers and will have no adverse effect on fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, engine output, peak torque or noise emissions, nor on the durability of the engine and exhaust-gas aftertreatment system.
