German Exhaust Reqs for Driving in Cities

Post by Cheers...Steve »

Just heard from my mate in Weinheim & he reckons Bricks in Germany now need a cleaner exhaust to allow them to drive in cities.

In his words:
"Mmh, not so well I have to say.
I just learned that there are new exhaust systems for t3s so I will be able to get a green sticker for my vw. So I can go to cities and stuff. Red (which I would have now if I put the sticker on the screen) means you can’t go anywhere because you stink."

2 Qs

1. What's the upgrade, cost, improvement, etc?
2. Assume when we're on holiday & travelling through we can still visit German cities or will we be - in the words of Judas Priest - Breaking The Law! Breaking The Law! (Air guitar solo)

Some info here about it but unlike the London one I'm pretty sure the German ones only cover part of some city centres only. Click on the towns to see the zones.

Visited Germany last year with the van and was aware of this rule in advance but never needed to drive anywhere near any of these city centres and used public transport instead if we wanted to do sightseeing.
