That's odd, the 1.6 FSi is only one engine so how can it be EU3 or EU4?!
Hi @A2Steve
The problem is that if the option codes for your car shows EU3, that's what DVLA will treat it as, despite it meeting EU4 emission standards. Someone with such a car should put this to the test; get fined and then prove that your car meets the required standards! I would have done so but an A2 1.2Tdi is not much use for this purpose in the UK. Otherwise it's a case of early adopters of clean technology being (illegally?) penalised by the DVLA.
Just email them, address above. However, if your option codes sticker shows EU3, don't bother. If it shows EU4, there's no need to contact them. There's no chance of your car being "upgraded" to EU4, despite it meeting EU4 emissions. The Germans don't penalise early adopters of clean technology - it was then!
Just email them, the address is above.
I may, of course, be wrong, but as I understand it, the A2s (and many others) were not classified, because Euro 4, although introduced in January 2005, did not become mandatory 'till January 2006. This is why there is no Euro classification on the Audi CoC.
You're wrong Mac! DVLA and Audi have confirmed in writing that my 1.2Tdi is classified as EU3. In 2001, when it was built, EU4 did not exist, so EU3 it is. However, exactly the same car, produced in 2003, would have been EU4. I have a green plakette (EU4) for the same car in Germany. You are, perhaps, confusing the above with a possible requirement to explicitly state the EU classification on the CoC. Early adopters of cleaner technology are penalised in the UK. In France, it's even worse! Our 1999 Lupo 3L is officially EU3, meets the EU4 emission standard but would only get a Crit'Air sticker in France that equates to EU2! That's because the EU standard is not on the V5 (for whatever reason), the emission values are ignored and in the absence of the EU classification, what you get is determined by the year of registration! In Germany, it would receive a green plakette! Having failed to get DVLA to place any EU classification on my V5s, it's time to try to get some sense from my Brexit party MP! Some hope!
No, that's not what I am saying because there is no EU standard on any of my CoCs. A letter won't prove anything other than what you have on your car's option sticker. What was incorrect was the first line in #14. Your FSi was built to meet EU4 because Audi knew what was coming, otherwise there would be a cut-off date, after which they would not be able to sell their cars! That's the reason why the BHC replaced the AMF.
The letter I received from Audi, along with the CoC, says:
