Hi there,
since currently there is a hefty discussion in Germany about diesel engines - I'd like to know whether there is a similar discussion in the UK too ?
In Germany the discussion is mainly about German manufaturers (VW, Audi, Porsche), because it was uncovered that these companies betrayed massively in the approval tests. But there have been also tests indicating that Fiat seems to be affected as well; in one test a Doblo with the 1.6 l Multijet engine came up with the worst NOx results of all cars in the test. So it is not unlikely that also the 500L is affected, since it probably has the same engine.
There might be the danger that such cars are prohibited from entering inner cities in the near future, at least in Germany
Any thoughts ?
