Volvo's position on 'Emissiongate'
I've a new XC90 coming soon and I asked Volvo a number of questions pertinent to the VW emission scandal. Their only response is to provide this comment: Volvo Cars never has and never will fit any device to its cars that manipulates emission test results. Volvo engines have the same settings no matter whether they are being tested or in everyday use This isn't published anywhere and isn't attributable to anybody let alone an officer of the Company.
So that's all right then ..... and I shouldn't worry about a thing..... what could possibly go wrong? Anybody got any further than I have or have any comments ? |

Given I pay £265 VED for my D5, whilst the German equivilants only pay £130, I'd be pretty cheesed off if Volvo were cheating and that is the best they could do.
I don't think you've anything to worry about. |

Does anyone know if the diesel XC90 has a urea reservoir (aka AdBlue, DEF) for reducing NOx emissions?
If so, how often does it have to be refilled? |

It has all to do with the cars weight and which fuel it uses. The emission( tax) payments are taken care of when you buy the car new which at the present tax rate is 15480 euro's. Something for Mr Osborne to think about to raise more money from the motorist! |
