Software irregularities discovered in Audi V6 diesel engine

More Audi diesel vehicles are allegedly fitted with an illegal defeat device.

Audi has paused the deliveries of certain previous-generation A6 and A7 models in Europe.

The affected models of both cars are fitted with the 268bhp variant of the company’s 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine.

Audi, through its own internal investigations, found that this specific engine has irregularities in the unit’s management software.

The company has now reported the issue to the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA), Germany’s Federal Motor Transport Authority, as well as the Luxembourg vehicle registration authority.

KBA has requested a formal investigation of Audi regarding the possible presence of a previously unknown defeat device on vehicles powered by the aforementioned V6 diesel engine.
