VW TDi Emissions software scandal
- Thread starter pvm1234567890
- Start date
My V5 says that I have a CKF. The service book says CKFC. No idea what it means. Can you help please? Thank you.
Seems to be aluminium titanate or silicone carbide based according to the self study guide

If wiki is to be believed - the CKFC is an EA288 motor - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Škoda_Octavia
Interesting graphs on PH
The new diesels are dirtier than a 35 year old Golf Diesel (as tested)!
That doesn't surprise me at all.
I have said for a long time that the current cars are built to pass tests - not to be clean in the normal driving.
All these people flapping about engine types etc. What are you going to do if you think yours is one ? ( remembering its actually software that's dodgy, and they've lied before.... ) what can you actually do?
1. Stop driving it. - not much use.
2. Write a letter to Percy Polar bear pleading forgiveness.- pointless.
3. Write letters to all the residents on the East coast whose homes are affected by coastal erosion? - well meaning but equally pointless.
4. Driving round in sack cloth and ashes - uncomfortable but whatever turns you on.
5. Drive round with " I am a dirty b'stard ' emblazoned on your car - may lead to physical violence against self for unspecified reasons.
6. Try to sue VAG - pointless until something concrete is decided.
So basically you can do sweet fa so worrying about it isn't going to change a thing.
Worry about things you can change. Your health . Your diet. Your weight. Your lifestyle.even your gender.

Thanks. Does it mean that all FR's 150 TDI (or at least the 13 plate ones) have this engine or can they have different engines?
If NOx is your chosen measure of cleanliness.Interesting graphs on PH

thats the material which they manufacture the physical catylist substrate.
The catilising is done by the metals which are attached to the substrate.
If you are just looking at NOx then modern cars can look worse, - why, - this is due to the fact that we now have cars with catylitic converters, the process of which produces NOx as a sort of by product. originally NOx wasnt something they perceived as an issue and so as more and more cars reduced the pollutants they were aiming for NOx increased.
Over the last few years emission regulations have tightened and recently new regulations have come in for NOx which is now considered a risk.
The graphs above are statistics, which you can adjust to suit. I could argue that the NOx going up shows better pollution control as its an indication of established pollution control technology.
This is why the engines pictured in this thread have one with TWO cats, one to do the traditional catilysing the second aimed at particulates and NOx.
Funnily when i was a process engineer VW was our main and massive customer!

From what I understand, there are (at least) two versions of the 184PS TDi engine that went into the Mk3 Leon - mine's a 2013 car with engine code 'CUPA', and I think it's only EU5 compliant, so would agree with what craigr73 posted. The other variant mentioned on here is 'CUNA' - if that's the one they're currently putting in, then can we assume that is EU6 complaint?
I'd be interested to know the source of this - I'd have thought those two should be the other way around...
Ideally, it'd be good to get a list of which engine codes are from which engine family.
This indicates the CUNA is an EA189 motor - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Volkswagen_Group_diesel_engines
And then this indicates that CUNA and CUPA are both EA288 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Škoda_Octavia

I'd be inclined to believe the latter of those two links, but to be honest anything taken from wikipedia has to be taken with a pinch of salt. Hopefully a full list of affecting brands/models/engines will be release soon by VAG or SEAT.
