Hi all,
for those of you who don't know London introduced a new daily tax for cars called the Ultra Low Emissions Zone. Minimum standards now (ie tax free) are EURO 6 diesels and EURO 4 petrols. Eventually it seems this will roll out to most UK cities.
My car is a 2013 2.0 TDI (150bhp) A3. At the time, it was registered as a EURO 5 vehicle since EURO 6 standards were introduced in 2015.
I have unsuccessfully been trying to find the detailed emissions information for the above engine to see if it meets EURO 6 standards as Transport for London allows you to submit supportive documentation to waive the Ultra low emissions fee in London.
I have contacted Audi UK and spoke to 2 representatives who are unable to provide me with this type of information, they simply don't have any data (or so they claim) and have advised me to speak to Audi Germany.
- Has anyone dealt with this issue before?
- The engine fitted to my 2013 car has the same BHP and CO2 emissions compared to 2.0 TDI cars registered in 2015, but the latter were approved as 'EURO 6'. Does anyone know if Audi modified the engines in any way between those years? I have read that some pre-2015 cars were surpassing EURO 5 standards due to DPF filters so perhaps they would have met EURO 6 specification criteria before it was introduced.
Any help on this would be appreciated as it seems that this 'tax' may not apply to some pre-2015 cars with the relevant supporting documentation.
