Question 1

How much more road tax does a diesel pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Half as much again as a petrol car with the same CO₂ figure, because its fuel factor is 0.9 instead of 0.6. At 145 g/km, a diesel pays €143 a year and a petrol car €95.

Question 2

What should I check on a used diesel's particulate filter?

Accepted Answer

Whether a warning light has come on and whether the car has made regular longer runs, which let the filter regenerate. A filter clogged by short trips can need cleaning or replacing.

Question 3

Does a used diesel need AdBlue?

Accepted Answer

Most Euro 6 diesels clean their exhaust with AdBlue, topped up from a separate tank. Check that no warning shows, as a fault in the system can stop the engine restarting once its countdown ends.

Question 4

Which new diesel cars are still sold in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Mostly vans, people carriers and large SUVs, such as the Mercedes V-Class and Vito, Renault Trafic, Toyota Proace, VW Caddy and Land Rover Defender. Executive cars like the Mercedes C- and E-Class, BMW 3 Series and Skoda Superb still offer one too.
