@@acceptablecasualty5319 in case you weren’t up on your history, Volkswagen was brought into existence when mustache man commissioned Ferdinand Porsche to build an affordable “peoples car”. It was a pre-war creation, but only shortly. Created by everyone’s favorite villain. There are many companies still making products that made things for that side of the war machine. VW, BMW, and Mercedes are among them, but one specifically had its origin in the mind of an evil totalitarian. It’s funny to me how the woke mob hasn’t canceled all things German yet, not that they should

@@acceptablecasualty5319 VW was founded pre-WWII by Hitler’s government and Hitler himself was heavily involved with them. His order for the creation of a “people’s car” is what led to the founding of the company and the creation of what we now call the VW Beetle.

I can imagine

I was mechanic for abit before the pandemic, when he brought up DPF's/those other systems, I just face palmed.. so many diesels would come through with clogged particulate filters.

As a former heavy duty truck technician, it was my experience that a majority of breakdowns were emissions related. I could change EGRs blindfolded.

@@madkills10 These systems hate short trips. They cant burn themself free when they dont drive hot enough. I said this to someone that wanted to buy a new car and that he should buy gasoline instead but nope, did not listen. Now he is on the cusp of not being let into the inner city because of emissions :D

I have been truck driver for over 18 years and i can confirm. AdBlue is a total piece of crap with good intent but bad execution. Also it really doesn't do much in winter around here as it freezes around -11'C and thaws only with hot coolant pipes running through tank, which doesn't do much in delivery vehicles that struggle to achieve proper engine temperatures anyway and constant stopping with engine shutdown obviously stops circulation, allowing what little bit it has thawed to cool down again. Also if truck is left undriven for some time, water evaporates from AdBlue, allowing it to crystallize into pipes and nozzles and it usually isn't able to dissolve crystals away, especially if nozzle becomes blocked and they cost around 700e a piece to replace. It's not difficult to see why some companies stick with their old beaten trucks that don't have AdBlue systems and particulate filters. They are so much cheaper to run, even with all other things breaking down due to their age.

a fine is only a punishment for the poor, the rich always have a way of simply eating the cost, or in your case, passing off the cost to “expendables”. anything to avoid consequences

Well more people are in prison for this than the Boeing 737 max scandal and that without any doubt was responsible for hundreds of deaths.

Prison for too much emissions, (all a money and power grab to begin with) EPA clearly has it out for the CEO of VW. Guess he didn't donate to thier political party? It's never what's shown NEVER!

It raises a legitimate question, what is worse, the emissions from the tailpipe or the emissions from making more fuel to compensate for the lack of efficiency? It is a tricky quandary with no real easy answer since both sides will claim they are right.

Agreed. I was a mechanic around the time. Know the sad part when it came out we, my boss and other mechanics, read it and just went ahhh that makes sense and explains trying to dyno tune these things. To explain that sometimes the vehicle would randomly put out less power than it should and trying to chase the issue causing it so hearing there was a cheat device for emissions honestly made sense. Boss said something along the lines of not the first and won't be the last. Wish he had explained the past ones honestly.

I'll buy a car with said device

It's like poetry: emission standards make cars crappier, so VW cheats on its cars. Then anti-petro politics make *literally everything* unaffordable, so hopefully we get some dosh back from lawsuits about the cheating!

I was working in the measurement area and a lot had to do with car manufacturers. I know how many engine tests under all kinds of conditions they make with own but also engines from other manufacturers. I'm sure when VW said they sell diesel cars in California, every other manufacturer tried to get one of the cars just to find out how they solved the emission problem. So everybody knew how they did it. I'm also sure that the other companies didn't tell this because every company seems to have secrets like that and everybody else know about this.

@@Ulrich.Bierwisch yeah, it's like that old saying: every time you point a finger, three more are pointing back at you.

@@Ulrich.Bierwisch Totally! Them skeletons have a way of escaping closets the same way chickens come home to roost. Like I said, it made me smile,

VW wasn't the only manufacturer that tricked the emissions test. Others used the adblue system, but they only had a small tank for that stuff. They also didn't want people to have to mess with it, so they decided it should only be refilled with the normal car service. These lead to programming where they just didn't use the stuff in many circumstances, like cold weather, high speed, so the adblue wouldn't run out before the car went for service at the dealership.

Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof.

Yeah without a doubt. The Hellcat gets like 740 hp and you're going to say that it passes emissions once the accelerator is pushed? Please.

Vortec, vtech all those are systems that manipulate the camshaft to give the car more power when on the gas and less at idle to pass emissions.

Nothing wrong with that. F the epa

Given the lack of long-term consequences, that's not a stretch. Personally, I think VW should have ceased to exist as a company after this.

And certain "eco lobbies" (Deutsche Umwelthilfe) were keen to sell particle filters for suppliers and get themselves more donations from them. I wasnt affected, but it still made me sick. Those eco zones are also a farce. While the rich people can afford newer, more "eco friendly" cars, people with cheaper older cars will get excluded. Thats just unfair.

Well that makes allot more sense. But before direct injection the air and fuel was mixed before compression? But yes it makes allot more sense to say that the diesel ignite due to the hot compressed air. Older lorries and cars had to use glow plugs to compensate for cold starts in winter time. And still even in good condition struggled and failed to start. But modern lorries even in -35c (-40c even) and running bio fuels manages to start with the only requirement being to make sure one has good crank power. (batteries).

Best thing we’ve done to our powesrokes is the DEF delete. Way better mpgs and no breakdowns from the absurd system.

And yet, the plan almost worked out. I guess a billion people had contact or indirect contact with scandal VW diesel engines and even though - nobody noticed or cared to notice or knew but didn't care. Almost a full scale test of how much anyone can fool people and almost get away with.

This is how it's done in Europe. All testing is done in a controlled environment and almost no roadtest are made. After diesel gate there must be done tests on the road

Unless she was breathing straight from the exhaust the car had nothing to do with her passing

Sorry to hear about your aunt, we often look for reasons why we lost loved ones; but I hate to say it but I don't think Volkswagen claimed your aunt.

Awesome thank you!

Yo i got commented

😬living the dream

Exactly.

Thank you I really appreciate it!

The Watergate hotel would agree lol

To be fair the engineering behind this was pretty good, it just wasn't legal or arguably moral...

If you want a truck that'll last get a helux

Ford's ignition switches still will randomly burst into flames. German engineering is but this was more about ethics than anything else.

At least for Europe, Fords development is also largely done in Germany.

Modern Ford is trash..... You act like it's Lexus...........

Not sulphur. It just clogs it up with carbon

@@wizard_of_poz4413 Yes, carbon is enough to eventually clog but the sulfur make the process much much faster.

@@MikkoRantalainen nah I run ulsd exclusively in my truck but I pulled the grid heater off and the valve and intake were caked all the way thru at 35k miles

@@wizard_of_poz4413 Interesting. We have TDI with factory spec EGR configuration with 300k km on the clock and the intake manifold is barely blacked, definitely not clogged at all.

@@MikkoRantalainen well I thought vw takes exhaust off the dpf

...but even then, it turned out, Mercedes did a lot of cheating with their system too. So they would have been able to shift the blame over but the real problem persists.

Typical just blinded by money. The managers and CEO’s will all be rich and dead by the time the effects of these emissions cheats are truly understood.

Urea, not urine 🤣

@@lukerinderknecht2982 now if you could run a car on piss! 😂

@@lukerinderknecht2982 same thing

The pandemic and "vaccines" has been the most glaring example of profit over all, over lives in that case.

I think a lot of people forget that, when you get to the heart of it, a business exists soley to make money, to profit. I've never been able to trust anything a company says, at least beyond a very small, local level [your neighborhood mechanic that everyone goes to because they are honest and upfront, the local bakery, etc]. I'm in no way saying this is ethically correct, but that's how it is.

It's a perfect example of why regulations are needed; companies will do anything and everything they can get away with (or think they can get away with), no matter the harm it causes. Now, what exactly the regulations should be is another question. But "none" is the objectively wrong answer, otherwise we'll end up with even more things like the DDT disaster and ozone depletion, and no way to rectify them.

Let’s not forget ford pinto.

I feel like that's worse, since Toyota know people were dying because of them, and still didn't issue a recall......

That is awesome!

It is not necessarily "awesome", but it is certainly ambiguous. Could you tell us in which way it was insightful - was your take-away pro VW or attorney?

@@graafisk the attorneys discussed aspects of litigating in foreign courts, and the difficulties therein. I wasn't necessarily in support of either party, so I had no takeaway in that regard.

It's funny you bring this up. Good friend of mine his father worked for Detroit Diesel in their testing laboratory when that whole scandal went down. As soon as the new VW engine was launched we were at the Detroit international Auto show to check it out, GM couldn't meet those emissions with the same hardware he told us right away "something's wrong here. I think they're cheating" ol man was right.

Fk the EPA AND THEIR BULL CRAP REGULATIONS. LONG LIVE KING COAL.

@@otm646 yeah when Mazda was developing their diesel they had the same thoughts. They used the same tech, but couldn't hit emissions targets.

4 bilions you say. Jail time also? And no one died. What did Boeing had to do after killing 346 people? Slap on the wrist, no one is in jail.

They learned to try cheating better.

yes terrible story. told mothers it was healthier to bottle feed than breastfeed, specifically advertised their expensive but “healthy” formula to low income african families who had to give most of their income to even pay for it, while not considering that they likely didn’t have clean water, but the kids were already formula only and mothers were dried of their breast milk so had no other choice. lots of children who contracted diseases from unclean water. very sad.

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire. Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power. Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes. Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved. Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed. Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions. Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope. Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome. Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948

Yes to this! They've killed unknown numbers of babies.
