Everywhen Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Was idly browsing online today and cane across a Daily Mail Online article regarding one of their journalists who recently bought a 2002 986 2.7 and was getting charged for ULEZ in London. I’d paste a link here but can’t find there article now. Among the typical DM waffle there is this: In my case it is to ask Porsche UK to contact the head office in Stuttgart to find the EWG-Übereinstimmungsbescheinigung fultig für vollständige Fahrzeuge for my car. “This is the car's Certificate of Conformity which shows which agreed set of standards it reaches. On page three of the document, Porsche have listed the emissions data, including the crucial NOx reading. This is just below the section marked 'Höchstgeschwindigkeit'. For those that are interested, it's 250km/h.” When this was submitted to theULEZ scheme he no longer has tot pay the charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaboknaai Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 My 2003 986S and 2003 Jag XJ8 4.2 are both ULEZ exempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Any vehicle you can prove is at or lower than the EURO 4 (petrol) NOx emission as its factory spec can file as a compliant vehicle (Exemption is a different term and applies to old vehicles). This can be done as in my 'How To' , thanks @iborguk, by providing TfL (and CAZ unit a DVLA for the other ULEZ schemes) with the V5 and, if the V5 has no emission data on it, the Certificate of Conformity for the specific vehicle, so it must match the chassis number on the V5, from the manufacturer. Porsche took about 10 days to get the CoC to me. TfL processed it in 3 days, CAZ took about 10 weeks. That was 2½ years ago now.... It is crazy really as I can drive my avg 26mpg 2001 986 into central Birmingham CAZ of London ULEZ charge free whereas my wife's avg 50mpg 2015 Golf is EURO 5 diesel so has to pay... Which one is actually emitting more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazed Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Strange as my 2002 S conforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does, but back in the late 90s and 00s not all emissions data was put on the form by the registering dealer so the V5 doesn't have the data as it isn't in the DVLA database, so the cars are regarded as non-compliant even though their emission are. And often, as in the case of the Boxster, they complied before the Euro4 regs came in 2006, (Boxster is technically Euro 3 compliant) but back then no one considered how significant the data would become.

Check it is also CAZ compliant too Being ULEZ normally means TFL only https://vehiclecheck.drive-clean-air-zone.service.gov.uk/vehicle_checkers/enter_details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most amateur, lowest-common-denominator, clickbait trash ever...(assuming you can actually read the article among the ads). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinjohn308 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 It’s strange my Boxster 2002 3.2S is ULEZ but my Audi 2.0TDI A4 2010 doesn’t can’t wait to see Khan outed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesels need to be Euro 6, petrol is OK at Euro 4. All to do with NOx and PM2.5 particulate matter diesels still emit at Euro 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English places making the charge all come under one CAZ (Clean Air Zone) scheme (there are actually two bands within the CAZ zones so make sure you check), but if you apply to CAZ and you car complies you get on the compliant list for all 8 (or is it 9 or even 10 now?) of these CAZ places. I drive the Boxster into central Birmingham to concerts at the Utilita Arena and Symphony Hall 3 or 4 times a year now I've gone through the CAZ process. Also take it down to Westfield at Stratford (TfL ULEZ) when we go up to London. I have had no need to look into the Scottish scheme for their CAZ areas yet.
