VW diesel emissions scandal

I agree entirely, if somebody intelligent is doing the remap it won't be present, however you would be surprised how many we see at the OEM!
The checksum is calculated automatically by the tuning tool or the editing software so not really anything to do with the intelligence of the operator. Maybe what you're seeing is from the use of clone tuning tools hard to know.

Nobody will "check" anything, other than a main dealer who always checks for and applies any recalls or fixes. Including software updates - they regularly make those too for all sorts of reasons. They always have done this, since forever. Only difference with this particular update is it is all over the press.
Nothing to do with software has anything to do with MoT.
And the MoT has nothing to do with the "test" VW failed. The "test" they failed is to do with type approval and classification for tax purposes. The MoT test is completely different, just a check at idle to try and make sure engines keep running "cleanly" as they get older.
Performance remaps (when done properly) have no effect on the MoT emission test. A properly mapped car will always pass the MoT emission test.
In the same way, the "new" VW map will have no effect on the MoT test results. It will pass the same way as the "current" map does.

I seen the Audi sign on the envelope and thought happy days, maybe they know I'm a S6 owner and were going to invite me down for some RS drives. The disappointment was great,when I realised it was for the stinking derv.The VW one is word for word the same with only VW replacing Audi, and the guys signature at the bottom
