Seemingly after 22 minutes certain Fiat engines cut back on their emissions controls. By complete coincidence the emissions test is 20 minutes long.

If any manufacturer isn’t found to have been cheating I’ll be shocked.

Does anyone make a diesel that doesn’t violate the rules?

Difficult to believe there isn’t at least one, but I’ve been wrong before ....

I said it when VW’s issues came out...

I’m betting they all do it to some extent.

This is beginning to sound more like a failure in the testing method. It sounds like it is way to easy to pass the test without having to worry about the total emissions. They should start looking at the test itself as opposed to the way the manufacturers are going about passing it.

BMW and Mazda aren’t incriminated of cheating yet. But there’s still investigating going on.

I think the tests are so open to exploitation they’ll all have their little tricks.

Mazda might actually have the “cleanest” Diesel of them all because IIRC the Skyactiv-D has a compression ratio of 14:1 as opposed to the more widely used 16.5:1.
