Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor - Classic Car Doctor - September 26, 2015 - Hour 1 - Volkswagen in the Hot Seat: Emissions Scandal

Volkswagen in the Hot Seat: Emissions Scandal, Transmission Questions & Real-World Repair Advice On this episode of Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor, Ron opens the hour with his thoughts on the growing Volkswagen emissions controversy and what it could mean for consumers, automakers, and the future of vehicle technology. The calls keep coming as Ron helps a listener with a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue wondering whether a PCM replacement can affect transmission operation, and another caller dealing with transmission concerns on a 2011 VW GTI. Also joining the program is automotive journalist Paul Eisenstein of The Detroit Bureau to discuss the developing VW emissions scandal, how it happened, and the larger impact on the auto industry. The hour wraps up with a call from a technician reaching back out to Ron after advice given years earlier—another reminder that good diagnostics and honest repair guidance never go out of style.
