Volkswagen fix engine troubles
Back in December the Volkswagen Group presented specific technical measures to the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) for the 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 litres. Over the next few months, the measures will also be implemented on the engines with 1.2 and 1.6-litre capacities.
This week the German minister of transport, Alexander Dobrindt, and chairman of the board of management Volkswagen passenger cars brand, Herbert Diess, met in Berlin and in the workshop of a Volkswagen dealership found out more about the practical implementation of the software update for the 2.0 TDI engine.
Volkswagen says it is starting with Amarok models with Passat models to follow shortly.
“The start of the recall is taking us a great step forwards,” said Herbert Diess. “Our customers are getting a good technical solution for their car and can also rely on quick implementation of the modification.”
VW maintains that customer-friendly solutions were an important aspect in developing the technical measures.
