Diesel Volkswagen: just a change to the software? – Behind the wheel

A CALL EPIC – The project of rehabilitation promised by the new CEO of the Volkswagen Group, Matthias Müller ( here to learn more) It would be more complicated and time-consuming than initially emerged. The claim some experts contacted by Automotive News , that the engineers of the German company should act differently depending on the age of the engine involved. The premises are well known: the German company announced yesterday that it would recall the approximately 11 million cars powered by the 2.0 TDI Euro 5, with the intention to regularize the anti-pollution system ( here Read more).

A Volkswagen Golf TDI 6 and in the background an American city: from its overseas started the investigation on pollutant emissions that led to unveil a software irregular in cars equipped EA 189 engine.

TWO DIFFERENT WORK – The Volkswagen has unveiled what constitutes intervention, but now merely talk about rehabilitation. Therefore we do not know if the change only interests the software part or whether it can also extend to the hardware, or the physical components. The engine indicted, remember, has project code EA189, complies with the Euro 5 and was also mounted on 482,000 cars sold in the US between 2009 and 2014. Experts quoted by Automotive News which refer precisely to the models sold in the US, argue that interventions should be considered easier when the engine goes back to the period between 2009 and 2012, so that older units may need only a software change. The reason is explained by the use of the least processed of the catalysts to nitrogen oxides, called in jargon Lean NOx Trap.

In the above drawing an example of installation of reduction of pollutant emissions Rankings on that of the Volkswagen engine EA 189 sold in the US until 2011. From left the traditional oxidation catalyst, which neutralizes the carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned hydrocarbons (HC), the lean NOx catalyst that reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx), and finally, the particulate filter.

HOLDS NITROGEN – This type of catalyst works similar to a standard filter, which also is present in all diesel starting at Euro 5: retains oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in its interior to the passage of the exhaust gas thanks to a chemical reaction and, periodically, it is “cleaned” by powering the motor with a richer mixture. At this point the nitrogen oxides, which may be irritating to the respiratory tract, are transformed into common and harmless nitrogen. Defects of Lean NOx Trap are the frequent “cleanups” catalyst, that increase consumption of the car, and the performance that is highly dependent on conditions of use. For example in the car charging or at high speeds the performance declines significantly.

Above a drain line of the Volkswagen that uses the most sophisticated SCR catalytic converter (Selective Catalytic Reduction). This is after the oxidation catalyst, which reduces carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and is followed by the filter.

THE IF SCR – the opposite case if the engine Volkswagen EA189 is newer than 2012: in this case the houses have expected a more sophisticated and expensive catalyst for NOx called SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction). In what experts say, in this case the engine may need additional interventions to the physical components of the car. For the Volkswagen Group would mean a multiplication of the intervention costs that someone estimated to be higher than the 6.5 billion already allocated by the house to deal with the situation.

In the photo above the particular injection of AdBlue urea inside the SCR which occurs in a continuous manner during driving. A command its dosage thinks the unit according to the demands of the engine.

IT TAKES The AMMONIA – The SCR works by adding the exhaust gas passing through an additive nebulized called AdBlue, a solution based on urea. This solution at high temperature breaks down creating the component that serves as a reagent for nitric oxide, that is, the ammonia. This is deposited in the catalyst and the passage of the exhaust gas combines with NOx through a reaction which generates nitrogen (N) and water (H 2 O), completely harmless. The main advantage of the SCR catalyst is increased efficiency, for which up to 95% of the nitrogen oxides are converted. Disadvantages are the higher initial cost of the technological solution and the need to periodically refill the additive AdBlue, which normally is done at each cutting from the service network. That of the SCR catalyst is therefore establishing itself as the preferred solution by most manufacturers.

Dieselgate Vw, new software in two weeks and six others for … – Milano Finanza

For Matthias Müller, the new CEO of Volkswagen, demine the dieselgate (as it was renamed in the US) is a top priority. Volkswagen has not yet announced how it intends to re-phase diesel engines equipped with the fraudulent software. But officials close to the issue told the German newspaper Handelsblatt that a crisis plan has already been drawn up and an update of the software should be available within two weeks.

The company is in constant contact with the Federal Authority transport the US to find an acceptable solution. The Authority warned during the weekend that, if it had emerged from Vw a technical solution by 7 October, would withdraw the certification of the vehicles concerned, that they could neither move nor be sold. The Authority’s role is crucial, because if its experts will give their blessing to plans to re-equip VW cars to be recalled, all the other European countries will follow suit, giving instructions to dealers and contacting the owners.

“Since most of the cars affected by dieselgate is in Europe, is likely to be just a software upgrade,” said a senior manager at Handelsblatt Vw. If the company would make a great effort, most of the calling program could be completed in six weeks, he added. Even the component suppliers are working on possible solutions. “In the coming weeks, we will present to the authorities the technical solutions proposed,” said a spokesman for VW to Handelsblatt, “then it will be prepared an operational plan to fix the vehicles of the customers concerned. This will take several weeks.”

The subsidiary Audi has meanwhile released the models affected by dieselgate: are 2.1 million vehicles around the world that meet Euro 5 emissions standards of the European Union. And ‘almost its entire range of products including models A1, A3, A4, A6, TT and sport-utility vehicles Q3 and Q5. The new models are not affected by the problems as they conform to Euro 6, as reported by a spokesman for Audi.

The dieselgate has, among other problems, also it demonstrated that it is counterproductive to have put the pooling of technical platforms and modular assembly, thanks to which the car makers use the same components in a variety of different vehicle types. VW was at the forefront of this trend, which has invested tens of billions of euro in new equipment and technologies. The advantage is that the modular production makes plants more flexible, allowing them to move from assembly of one model to another without costly retooling, thereby saving billions of euro. The risk is that if a key component is defective or, as in this case contains a fraudulent software, the problem infects many models.

Volkswagen knew that the software was illegal. Meanwhile, the … – Il Giornale

Volkswagen has for years ignored the warnings issued by a member of his staff and a supplier about the fact that the software – used to manipulate the results of the test gas emissions – was illegal.

These are the accusations that are emerging in the German press in the last hours. According to reports from Bild am Sonntag, Bosch, auto parts supplier that produced the device, the group had warned back in 2007 that this is not legal. A spokesman Bosch he has argued that the company can not comment on the details, calling into question a confidentiality agreement with his business partner.

As another newspaper, the Frankfurter Allegmein Sonntagsxeitung , also an employee of Volkswagen had issued a warning in 2011, noting that the software could be a violation of the law. Both warnings, however, would have been ignored by management.

The new CEO of VW, Matthias Mueller, intends to make a clean sweep. “ Volkswagen will result in a ruthless cleaning internal to delete all the tricks used in tests for the emissions of its vehicles. The group German, Mueller writes with the workers’ representative, Bernd Osterloh “ develop and implement the most stringent standards of governance and compliance in industry ” .

The German authorities meanwhile are putting pressure on the automaker, asking that defines by 7 October with a timetable which will ensure that his diesel vehicles meet the national standards of gas emissions without the use of technologies rigged .

It is confirmed while the stop sales in Italy. Yesterday Volkswagen sent a letter to all dealers Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda and commercial vehicles and ordered to immediately suspend “ the sale of all cars EUR 5, as a precautionary measure pending receipt of further information and details . “

A real blow to block around 40 thousand cars in dealerships and pizzali It brings more problems for many retailers already damaged by an unprecedented industry crisis that finally seemed resolved after almost ten years of losses. But the premier Matteo Renzi , speaking from New York, the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, thinks otherwise: “ I’m not worried, I do not fear repercussions on Italian growth. It is an environmental catastrophe, is a scandal and as such will be punished “, he said.

Meanwhile, another German manufacturer, Daimler, wrote to about 11 thousand owners of Mercedes Sprinter van for an update of the software connected to the system of emissions in order to prevent “possible problems with authority and controllers”. This was reported by the Welt Am Sonntag, but the company replies that the recall from last June “has absolutely nothing to do with the current problems Volkswagen”.

Audi: 2.1 million cars on which the software is installed indicted … – Il Sole 24 Ore

History Article

Close

This article was published September 28, 2015 at 11:53.
The last change is the 28 September 2015 at 13:32.

There are 2.1 million cars in the Audi brand on which you installed the software that indicted decreased the level of emissions. This was communicated by a spokesman of the Ingolstadt subsidiary of Volkswagen. Of these, 1.42 million are in circulation in Europe and these 577mila in Germany all have an EA 189 engine 2.0 TDI 150 hp. The models involved include the A1, A3, A4, A5, A6, TT, Q5 and Q3. Probably, the spokesman said, the cars involved will be back to the parent to resolve the problem.

VW last week announced that 11 million vehicles are affected by the scandal discovered in the United States.

The story meanwhile continues to cause changes at the top in the parent company after the resignation of the number one Martin Winterkorn, on which today the judges of Lower Saxony have launched an investigation. Volkswagen was in fact suspended the heads of research and development (R & amp; D) of Audi, Porsche and its parent, as writes Reuters citing sources familiar with the matter. In recent days, it was found that the emissions testing in the US, then manipulated election results, were managed directly by engineers employed in Germany.

On Thursday, EU ministers will discuss the competitiveness of the Volkswagen and the measures to take governments to make full disclosure on the impact of the scandal of rigged units and provide a first quantitative assessment of the size of the scandal in the EU. Tomorrow the Commissioner industry Elzieta Bienkowska meet in Brussels the new president of Volkswagen Hans Dieter Potsch.

The German government presses on the Wolfsburg. By 7 October, it announced the Ministry of Transport, the company will undertake the measures to solve the problem of the anti-smog rigged. The KBA, the German Federal Institute of Motor Vehicles, asked VW “to submit binding measures and an agenda that prospects technical solutions regarding the technologies that cars have implemented.”

Volkswagen, “Software illegal Bosch, the ‘responsible’ knew by … – The Daily

->

Volkswagen “knew” . Some unspecified “responsible” had been alerted in 2011 profile lawlessness in the software that allow you to edit data on emissions when the vehicles were tested. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , taken by all the media of Germany including public television, citing a document reporting sources close to Board surveillance .

This is a “Memorandum” written by a engineer Friday submitted to the members of the Security Council. What’s more, the same supplier system German giant Bosch , according Bild am Sonntag , he would notify the manufacturer even in the 2007 (the year in which Martin Winterkorn was appointed head of the group and in which he called his successor, Matthias Müller , the headquarters of Wolfsburg) of the possible profiles of lawlessness of its use. The software was developed by Bosch only for internal testing. The supplier would not comment on the news.

What has not yet been announced is why, if the document emerged during the investigation inside there really has not been taken into account . Or, even worse, has been ignored. It is not clear even to those who have been subjected to, but it is likely that these “details” emerge if not in the coming hours, probably in the coming weeks.

The head of communications of the brand, the 52 year old Peter Thul (in office from July), has refused to comment on the details, but said that “ we are investigating at full capacity and once we have the results will make them public. ” Managers of the division Audit seems to have escaped the greatest plot in decades. Yet it is an office, which numbers in hand, it seems efficient. In 2014 alone, 72 employees of Volkswagen have lost their way to “irregularities”.

Motor German (KBA) and Ministry of Transport put pressure after having received the not-too-veiled accusations of “flanking” the Houses, both for not having made further controls on emissions data supplied by manufacturers, both for slow the process that was to lead to the introduction of stricter limits and new criteria for carrying out the test .

By 7 October Volkswagen will provide a calendar on the initiatives it will take to adjust and stabilize the vehicle fitted with the device falsifying data . If the manufacturer should not be able to provide satisfactory answers, the authorities threatened to withdraw the permissions for the motors involved. Something that seems to go beyond the simple block sales , because it would retroactive effects . Removing the software would cost Volkswagen 200 € for car . A figure “ridiculous” compared to what you may have to pay when they will be called to answer in court. But on that internal document should be also the “fingerprints” of those who have handled. On him or them the manufacturer has already made it known to want to retaliate.

Volkswagen, EU: “Check only the emissions, not the software … – Rai News



A spokesman for the European Commission, responding to reports in the Financial Times. Padoan: “I hope in limited consequences.” The Deputy Minister for Transport Nencini: “Vehicles in Italy could be a million”

Share

Europe knew, but only half. The Commission corrects the reports in The Financial Times that Brussels had warned two years ago the risk of manipulation of the emissions testing by automakers. The British newspaper had referred to r intake of 2013 the European Joint Research Centre showed that the problems posed by the defeat device, the device at the center Volkswagen scandal.

The Commission’s response came from a spokesman who has specified as the EU researchers measured only car emissions, not the engines which had not access, discovering gas in the laboratory other than those of road: a known fact that led the EU to introduce tests on road by 2016. The Commission then also r icordato it is for the states, not in Brussels, check indicted software such as Volkswagen.

As for the possible consequences for Italy’s Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan recording “the very hard blow to confidence, but a key ingredient of the most deficient in the crisis.” The holder of Via XX Settembre added then that impacts expected “I hope limited, because there could be a chain effect on the Italian industry. The problem is not only German, but European” and “if the trust is eroded, are risky investments. “

There is however still no certainty about the numbers of diesel ‘made-up’ of the Wolfsburg circulating in our country. According to Deputy Minister for Transport, Riccardo Nencini may be about one million. “A rough estimate indicates about one million vehicles involved. There are controls in place to check the damage even in Italy.”

The survey, according Nencini, “may close within a few months, by the end of the year and hope that Volkswagen resolve this situation quickly. I see that it is moving with great speed: he It changed the leaders in a few hours by the news of the scandal. ” “I add and I stress – continued Nencini – that was a year in chiaroscuro for Germany: in April, Deutsche Bank has agreed a penalty of two and a half billion euro for having rigged the Libor data. Now the Volkswagen case. I It reminded of a joke Pietro Nenni: ‘Beware there is always one more pure you purges’. “

From Golf Passat, hunt fake software. And among the guests rooms psychosis

Here are the vehicles under fire

But you’ve got? Now is a psychosis, a bit ‘surreal, among motorists who drive a car in the Volkswagen Group can smell tarot. He was unleashed hunting “defeat devices”, the infamous electronic device inserted in the unit that may affect engine performance by reducing a specific request (ie when it senses that the car is under test) amounts of harmful emissions.

You have it or not? And who knows … The device can not be seen, and to find out it takes a technical ultraspecializzato with sophisticate equipments. It also does not be alarmed too, because the car does not exactly dangerous, nor will leave on foot: a maximum pollute a little ‘more. And if necessary it will be the manufacturer to summon you to the workshop and operate the ‘recall’. To find out which models can actually be interested, it would list “intelligent” provided by the vendors. But even in Volkswagen at the time, they have all the necessary information. The list that was supposed to arrive yesterday did not come, and who knows when we will have.

Skoda Octavia

So you rely on only certain clues, with large grain of salt. Let’s recap. Of a total of 11 million diesel cars in the world that have fraudulent software, they would circulate in Germany and 2.5 million in Italy, as in France, one (as stated Minister Delrio). First clue: we speak only of branded cars Volkswagen, Audi, Seat and Skoda sold between 2009 and June of this year, before the almost total of Euro 6 engines that are free from risk.

Second clue: the engine under investigation is the 4-cylinder diesel TDI type EA189. To give an idea, this common rail is used by over 30 years of Group models. Third clue: the displacement of the engine that triggered the storm American is 2 liters (2.0 TDi) but in Europe the same system could be mounted on the turbo version with a displacement 1.6.

Volkswagen Golf

Three clues, in this case, do a test. Because the list of cars with the device remains huge. It ranges from the compact, as the Volkswagen Polo and the Seat Ibiza, the high range represented by the Passat, Skoda Octavia and Superb, but is also among the most popular medium that probably sneaks the enemy electronics. Eg VW Golf, Seat Leon, Audi A3. And then there are the people carrier type Touran and Sharan or the Seat Alhambra, there are SUVs like the Tiguan and Audi Q3. There is everything and more. The highly anticipated official list, sooner or later, it will come. Meanwhile it is important not to panic. And do not generalize.

Volkswagen Passat

It is now all diesel are sick or to ban . You can argue long shots of CO2, NOx and fine particles, there are armies of technicians who stand for or against the diesel, but certification is scientific: the modern Euro 6 are cleaner than gasoline engines. Even those with the electronic bug.

Volkswagen, if the Seat Leon Police and Carabinieri had the … – The Daily

->

Seat Leon who won the call for Police and Police , and that since last spring have become officially Panther and Gazelles, are equipped with the engine 2.0 TDI with 150 hp , one of those at the center of the storm that is sweeping the Volkswagen Group . But those are Leon Euro 5 or Euro 6 ? It is not forgivable, because the approval is the difference between the models that have the modified software – what America needed to avoid controls on NOx emissions – and the regular ones, the most recent . Among the conditions of the invitation of the Ministry of the Interior there was that of ‘ approval Euro 6 , in force since 1 September 2015. Given that the first units have views to the Police Festival last May logically could be Euro 5, and then hide the software “rigged”. It would not be serious, given that at the time Europe has not yet been established no irregularities, curious but certainly yes. For the first time the State Police will appeal to a foreign manufacturer for its supplies, and picked up the greatest scandal automotive of the decade. The tender won by the Volkswagen group in the supply of 206 car (100 for police and 106 for the Police) and an amount of about 9.7 million euro . The Police has reserved the option to purchase under the same conditions ( 43,897 euro per car , special equipment and service included) up to 1,800 cars, the Carabinieri other 2,100, with appropriations and maximum 84.9 € 99.1 million.

Messages pop-up against bullying. It is not awareness campaigns, but ReThink, software that detects potentially offensive messages. When the extension recognizes that is being published content that could hurt someone else, notification, through a pop -up, that the words used may be offensive or harmful.

ReThink he was born from the idea of ​​the 13 year old Trisha Prabhu, affected by a history of suicide of a 11 year old girl. Trisha and the team that created that have occurred with the use of software, the desire to send a message aggressive fell from 71% to 4%.

Doing lectures or sermons, the notification mechanism simply with a “ReThink Alert”, which something does not . The user can decide to publish the message, but according to the research conducted, less than 10% decided to continue.

Currently ReThink is available as a free app on Android, and there is a version “community” for schools and districts.

Given the efforts against harassing attitudes carried out by the company – first of all Twitter not it would be strange to think of new additions to ReThink.

Buy the car but not the software, which is why it is difficult to find who … – DDay.it – ​​Digital Day

The scandal Dieselgate is not subsiding after Volkswagen in the sights of the European Union and the various bodies in charge of environmental protection end all our other car manufacturers, from BMW . One thing that is not surprising at all: the certification pollution is a fight that has been going on for years and that involves virtually all .


 
 

On the one hand there are the houses, which must find ways (hopefully legitimate) to pass tests that year after year they become more and more rigid, the other who invents the same, periodically reviewed and refined to avoid just that companies do as Volkswagen , or recognize the test and adapt accordingly. Tests can be made only road or on the reels , when in many cases it would be enough to look first few lines of code and figure out if what you are going to measure is a real behavior and not one simulated for the occasion.

 
 

Possible is so hard to find cheaters? Yes, it is possible because unfortunately is not allowed to “look” into the software of the car and understand what actually is done and what the state . They can not do the users, and this is normal, and can not do even those which issue the certificates. If cars were once real mules full of gears and wires, Today the unit has a key role : When we buy a car and leave it to the dealer a check for € 20,000 and goes, we’re not in Actually buying the whole car, but only the body and mechanical parts. All the software that governs the car is licensed for use , but remains the property of the car.


 
 

Woe then to touch: who takes risks hand an indictment by the same automakers , because all the software part of a car is protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a law American who becomes a federal crime any attempt to put hand and understand how a secure system, including the software of the car .

 
 

The question widens obviously also to smartphones, televisions and any system with on-board software or a system of protection, but it is obvious as in the case of cars, where in addition to the pollution there is also half of the safety, The DMCA is a real obstacle to security researchers who want to somehow help to make sure the product. Paradoxically, if the researchers who discovered the dieselgate they did in the laboratory analyzing the messages sent by the control unit of the car to the catalyst and engine, would have risked an indictment, a situation similar to that of someone who finds a bug of the locking of the car and is forced to keep silent about the pressure of a team of lawyers .

 
 

A shield that of the DMCA that most times the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an American organization that fights for the rights in the digital world, has asked the government to loosen excluding certain categories of product such as cars and agricultural vehicles. The reasons are many: could be repaired vehicles in unauthorized workshops , which often is not possible if the problem is with the software, and secondly it would be easier to find possible security holes. But the automakers do not hear us: a report of General Motors clearly explains that allow access to the software could lead people to touch vital not only for cars but also for the environment. “ To increase the power of the motor cars may no longer be in compliance with the parameters of EPA certification “. The same answer that a few months ago gave its the EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency: “ can not allow everyone to watch what’s in the software of the control units of the car – said a representative of the agency – an option that would allow anyone to alter the parameters of the engine with the ability to increase emissions beyond the provisions of the Clean Act . “

 
 

It seems that this risk does not exist: there are already thinking producers to do the “dirty” work.
