The only thing VW did was turn the fuel waster off. American emission law requires a large amount of unburned fuel to enter the catalytic converter, along with the correct amount of oxygen, before it can pass emissions. V.W. circumvented this by simply making a perfect engine with their TDI, which improved fuel economy beyond America's approved levels, and despite having perfect emissions, the cars did not pass because the fuel waster was not engaged during driving.

This bust of VW is an EPA scam pure and simple. The current regime in America has not allowed a single truly fuel efficient car onto American roads because there is too much profit in high fuel consumption, and too much "guilt" to be exploited in the name of climate change.
Despite the fact that many large cars in Mexico achieve 60 mpg, these same cars have difficulty achieving 30 mpg just across the border in America because the law in America basically makes it illegal to accomplish that. I applaud VW for giving Americans a chance to drive a real car. Too bad they got busted.
