There was no anomaly in the new Audi A8, Audi A7 Sportback, Audi A6 and A6 Avant models with six-cylinder diesel engines, the Volkswagen subsidiary said Thursday night with.
The automaker therefore has the 2016 tests of all its V diesel engines completed. The results were sent to the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). The details will be discussed in the coming weeks.
"The investigations were more complex than expected," said Bernd Martens, a member of the Public Procurement Council, who leads the internal review of the diesel crisis at Audi. About 700 engine variants have been studied in detail.
The Federal Office of Motor Transport repeatedly objected to inadmissible invalidation devices on various Audi models and organized reminders. Until now, KBA Audi has provided seven such reviews for software updates arranged, said the group based in Ingolstadt. This concerns 240 000 vehicles worldwide
By the summer of 2017, Audi had announced that it would voluntarily recall a total of 850,000 vehicles equipped with six- and eight-cylinder diesel engines of the Audi, Porsche and VW brands for a software update. Audi is developing the largest diesel engines for the entire VW group
