I’m sure VW would agree as they hate being the only maker caught out playing little games with emissions testing.
But are they all alone?
According to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! a test performed for a German environment association allegedly proves that an Opel Zafira 1.6 diesel shows higher emissions when tested with all four wheels turning rather than two as per usual on a rolling road. GM (Opel is a GM brand) deny everything.
Have a smoking Zafira. You’re welcome.

Wouldn’t the engine be working harder in 4x4, therefore generating more pollutants?
