Audi Diesel Engine Car Sales Suspended In Australia
German carmaker Audi has suspended sales of cars with the 2.0-litre EA189 diesel engine temporarily due to VW's diesel gate affair.
Audi Australia has confirmed that that sales of the A4, A5 and the Q5 with the 2.0-litre EA 189 diesel engine will be temporarily suspended until emission issues are addressed in these vehicles.
The
carmaker,
in
a
statement,
said:
"The
1.6-litre
and
2.0-litre
TDI
engine
certified
according
to
the
new
EU6
emission
standard
are
not
affected.
The
same
applies
to
V6
and
V8
TDI
engines,
irrespective
of
whether
they
are
certified
according
to
EU5
or
EU6.
No
petrol
engines
are
affected."
The company will contact owners whose vehicles are affected and fitted with the emission cheat software with further information.
The announcement was made after a meeting with relevant government authorities. Until then, sales of vehicles with the 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre EA189 diesel motors will be suspended.
The carmaker has also made facilities for customers in Germany to check online if their cars are affected. This facility will soon be available to customers worldwide.
