From the latest indepent research into emmisions....Only 6 vehicles have complied with the EURO 6 standard, 1 audi, 1 Skoda and 4 VW.

The B8 Passat 1.6 meets the standard but not the 2.0.

Where does it categorically say in this report that an A rating by their system equates to Euro 6 compliance? In the interests of transparency they should publish the emissions figures that each of their ratings A to H represent alongside the Euro 6 standard.

They have not published a result for any 2 litre B8 because by the look of it they have not tested one yet. An SV with the 2 litre 148 BHP and auto box has achieved an A rating so it is a reasonable inference a similarly equipped B8 would be there or thereabouts.

The absence of any VW with the 187 BHP SCR equipped engine is an omission. There is an automatic Audi A6 listed with rating C but that is a 2014 car.

There are some curious results too. Skoda and VW cars equipped with the 2 litre 148 BHP engine get a rating of A but a Audi A4 with ostensibly the same engine gets a C rating raising questions over different exhaust treatment effectiveness among VW group brands.

Firstly - it's emissions, not emmisions.

Secondly - VW Audi Forum - The #1 VW Group Community (http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/announcement.php?f=2&a=45)
