No cunt ever got kicked off the Corner for being too polite. I spent a lot of time on AV Forum over several years. I got sick and tired of uneducated people asking for my help with their vehicles and then criticising me for using cambelts instead of chains, and that type of thing. I don't set out to annoy or upset anyone. It's they who get annoyed and upset. I recall upsetting one bloke who couldn't find the dipstick on his VW Polo, despite my telling him precisely where and precisely what colour it was. I advised him to sit behind the steering wheel and he would find the dipstick on the driver's seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want low CO2, I can deliver that, but adversely affecting NOx, and vice-versa. I cannot change chemical or physical laws. We have had to introduce new chemistry to neutralise the effects, ie Urea technology. It gives wose results for vehicle performance, environmental cleanliness and consumer cost, but that is what the politicians have now asked for. Motorsport teams employ people to find loopholes in rules all the time. It is the only was progress is made. The entire Dieselgate will have one upside though, and that is to accelerate to demise of diesel power in passenger cars. Exactly right. If you recall, my objective many years ago was to reduce CO2 emissions from vehicle exhausts. My team achieved that spectacularly as did the whole Group by persuading people to buy diesel engined cars. Gordon Brown was a prime proponent in persuading the electorate to change. look at the vehicle excise duty rates in favour of low-CO2 vehicles, ie diesels. We can make whatever the customer thinks they want. How about mining rare earth minerals, sticking them in a vehicle whose electrics run at 400 Volts, providing an ICE as back up propulsion and using lithium aluminium hydride batteries? You end up with something that cost the earth to make, has bomb-like explosive batteries and cables under your seat that would literally kill you in a flash. All-electric cars? Yes, we can do that. Where will you plug them in? Where are the power stations? Where will the tax come from if you're not buying petrol and diesel currently taxed at 340%? A barrel of oil is 150 litres and costs $50 or 33 cents, 24p per litre. Add a few pence for refining and transport plus a bit of profit and all the rest is tax. If you don't pay that, where will the Doleys get their money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a captain of industrial-scale deceit or as we all suspect, someone who has been gilding the lily? I can only tell you the facts. I retired as an engineering director. One of many, since this is the world's largest vehicle maker and there are many sites, brands and people. We did not have THE director of engineering. I have no interest in the trials of others, I merely report my own actions, which were to lead a team designing engines to meet customer needs. One of those needs was to pass vehicle homologation requirements in each country of sale. Our vehicles used ECU systems and software in which nothing was hidden and no deviant practices were involved. A sensible program produced acceptable results, especially in the parameters being measured during testing. If I were still working at the Group, I would do exactly the same again. We helped people with economical, reliable, safe vehicles, exceeding all government testing requirements. If you don't agree, I cannot say I'm all that bothered.
