I'm pretty sure that he still has it... a 2003 6-speed manual with a flatbed?

Looks to me as if even CA which its very strict emissions standards only does a visual test for diesel emissions. Does any state actually test diesels for NOX emissions? Definitely not Colorado.

I ran into this with a product release on a much smaller item, originally i assumed i sent it off somewhere so i could state it met certain standards. Nope. I could do a 3rd party, but most places self test. Ultimately i downloaded the standards, did my own tests and recorded them in super slow motion, and printed that it met the standards laid out for it.

I've been enjoying the tdi sportwagen. It reminds me of the 240d in its simplicity of operation and options, though it has much more than a 240 ever had it is simple for today. It has that feel of simplicity but more handling, more power and much more fuel economy than the 240 ever had.....and its nice rowing the 6 speed around.

There may be enough third world countries to allow Volkswagon to resell them in. If that where the case it could reduce the financial hit. I have little doubt remaining they may buy some years back. This may produce an abundance of many useful used parts if they were scrapped out in north America. Or they may decide to protect their sales of parts and totally crush them all they buy back. Retianing a few cores for themselves perhaps in the process. On an earlier post I noticed their sales of both gas and diesel cars new locally seemed really depressed. Now it looks almost certain they seriously are. It is of no help either that their new gas cars have made the top ten do not buy list in Canada. Locally besides half ton truck sales Toyota and Honda are becoming pretty dominate and much more so as the years go by in new car sales locally. If you talk about buying a new car usually the other party will almost always mention those two brands in conversation. Hyundai was doing well until it was discovered their engine are barely making it past the warranty period in far too many cases and their transmissions are also having issues. The strangest thing is these two components where pretty solid until the last few years production runs. Our oldest daughter purchased a new loaded up 2014 ford fusion even though in the past she had good luck with her many Japanese purchases. Plus bad experiences in comparison with her big three ones. I mentioned this before she got it as well as another son in law to her. Unfortunatly it did not work out well for her. The dealers service department should have gotten high marks for incompetence. The manufacturer for producing the car as well. The Ford empire less than cognizant that satisfied customers are repeat buyers. Volkswagon at corporate levels is just the same. |

All 1998 and up diesels are smog checked in California. This includes visual inspection, OBD2 and tail pipe test.

According to this there is no tailpipe emissions test for diesels in CA, just a visual inspection for excessive black smoke. No dynamometer test either.
California Diesel Smog Check Requirement - Do diesel cars or trucks need smog tests?

That link says there is no dyno test. But in any case, no chemical content test of diesel emissions is conducted.
Hence the oddity of going after VW for chemical content of diesel emissions when no state (to my knowledge) actually cares enough to test the chemical content of diesel emissions.
