VW needs a heating element in the NOx urea filter. Exhaust gas from the small diesel engines built by VW is always below 392 F (200 C) and is not always hot enough to vaporize urea at 356 F (180 C). Without a heater for the urea or other dispersion mechanism, NOx emissions escape without urea treatment whenever the engine is not under a heavy load. VW needs a better method urea dispersion at all temperatures. - theicct.org VW was telling European regulators they could not meet their proposed NOx standards, which ICCT found indefensible since they were able to meet these same NOx standards in America. So John German and Peter Mock at ICCT tested American VW models to prove they could meet the European standards if they wanted to - but instead found to their surprise that VW didn't meet the NOx standard in America either. - theicct.org John German and Peter Mock from ICCT
