Default Wheels special investigation: Australia’s own Dieselgate

https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/whe...own-dieselgate

The printed edition in the Magazine is much more detailed but the message is the same. Too often people are sold cars with an engine that's not suited to their driving conditions.

From article -

"ONE IN five new vehicles sold in Australia is now diesel powered. For many owners, buying one is starting the clock on a financial time bomb."

"While the glossy advertising touts gutsy performance, miserly fuel consumption and legendary diesel durability, the ownership experience can prove very different, especially for city-based drivers."

“Repair bills above $10,000 are not uncommon for common-rail diesels,”
