It took about 6-7 weeks for VAG to post the compliance.

Just an update, they have a new e-mail for this kind of enquiry.
I received this answer today:
Thank you for your email, please be advised this department no longer processes Certificate of Conformity requests.
Please email the address as below with VIN number of your vehicle, name and full postal address.

Hello All,
I live in east Kent, and don't wish to visit inner London if I can help it.
It's likely I'll have to visit the outer suburbs where he proposes to extend ULEZ to.
I just checked on TFL website to see if my 2001 1.4 AUA petrol, registered 5/3/2001 was ULEZ exempt.
Mine was I believe registered in Germany briefly before coming to Britain.
It was very quick to do, by entering the registration number, and confirming vehicle.
Great result; it's exempt from the ULEZ charge, but still liable for the congestion charge of course.
He's lovely that Sadiq Khan. I won't have a word said against him, HA HA.
Best of luck to you all.

We have an Audi A2 1.4 petrol registered on 9 February 2021. For the last 2 months I have been battling with TfL to get it registered as Ulez exempt. We have sent them the logbook and a letter from the VWG homologation specialist certifying that the car with our chassis number is Euro 4 compliant. But they still refuse to accept it is Ulez compliant because the letter does not state the reg no or the nitrous oxide emission figure. But the nitrous oxide emission is alternative to Euro 4. And the reg no is of course given in the logbook. Does anybody have any advice as to how to get over this farce? Audi customer services are completely useless. VWG type approval we’re initially helpful but now refuse to respond to queries.
Hello Robin.
Regarding my 2001, 1.4 AUA reputedly being ULEZ exempt; I only entered my registration number (Y reg) on the TFL
website, and confirmed the vehicle. It said it was exempt.
Whether if I ventured over the ULEZ line, it would think the same, I don't know, I haven't tried yet.
I might encounter bureaucracy.
Did you do what I did first? You said your car is registered 2021?
Regards, Keith.
I would write back to TFL and point out that the chassis number identified in the VWG letter ( I assume means VIN) is in the logbook which in turn identifies the registration, therefore they have their required information.

I though the Emmissions Declaration had to have a separate, (ULEZ compliant), NOx figure, in order to comply. ULEZ being NOx dependant, not Euro 4 dependant. Do early petrols have that? Good if they do.
Mac.
I have attempted to get my 2003 1.4 petrol V5 amended to show Euro 4
Applied to Audi to get the COC, which I received and sent off. This was rejected by DVLA as the CoC 'does not show the Euro 4 description' - I had tried to avoid this by referencing including the attached line in my cover letter "You will note the current V5 has the required emission levels and paragraph 46.1 of the COC shows that this vehicle complies with 1999/102B and as such is a EURO 4 class vehicle"
Despite this and a subsequent phone call pointing out that 1999/102B is the directive that defines the 'Euro 4' they said no.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help

Your car is ULEZ compliant, as long as the NOx figure is below 80mg/km, (and PM below 4.5mg/km),
Doesn’t have to be Euro 4, although it's nice to have.
My CoC came with an Emmissions Declaration, stating it meets Euro 4, and DVLA amended the V5C. Did you get an Emmissions Declaration?
Mac.
Edit: Does any of your documents, V5C, or CoC, etc, show NOx as a separate figure, and if so, is it less than 80mg/km?
If so, you're ULEZ compliant.
ULEZ is not the same as Euro 4.
Mac.

They will catch us all out soon if ULEZ allowed to expand nationwide.
The foundations of LTNs, 15 minute cities as per UN Agenda 21 /2030 and C40 Cities were stealthily introduced during lockdowns since 2020.
Once reliable and sustainable older cars removed, cost of new vehicles likely too high for majority of the population and EVs will have a "pay per mile" charge - probably claiming PMs from road contact are now the main AQ issue....
Meanwhile, Euro 7 due in 2025 will have "massive" reduction in NOx (or not because percentages aren't empirical amounts):
To quote the ICCT on Euro 6:
"The NOx limit declines from 0.18 g/km to 0.08 g/km, a reduction of 56%. Explicit NOx limits were introduced at the Euro 3 level, and in the Euro 6 standards the NOX limit is 84% lower than the Euro 3 level. This has significant implications for control technologies, requiring for the first time the integration of emission control after-treatment for NOX emissions, such as selective catalytic reduction, lean NOx traps, or others."
So Euro 5 to 6 was a mere zero point 1 of a gramme reduction of NOx per 1000m driven.
Next Euro 7 will achieve what? A NOx reduction of 0.04 g/km ? So 4% of one gramme per 1000 meters driven? And the US EPA will reduce it by 6.4% of one gramme per 1000m?
Are there AQ meters out there that can actually measure the reduction on a 15 mph windy and rainy day say 3 metres from an exhaust pipe at 5 foot pedestrian elevation whilst a vehicle drives past at 30mph? (ooops sorry I meant 20 mph!)
In addition what will the increase on local Ozone be as a result in the amazingly lower NOx?
I received a CoC from Audi written in German, which amongst other stuff list does list emissions including the NOx emissions as 0.025g/Km. I did not receive a separate emissions document . The emission figures are on the V5.
That's all very well - London's fine the ULEZ checker is good and will , but other cities seem a bit confused and often reference Euro 4, the main govt website says I have to pay to visit Birmingham and it's hard to find the actual regs.
I have found draft regs (were they enacted?) here https://birmingham.cmis.uk.com/Birm...WGewmoAfeNQ16B2MHuCpMRKZMwaG1PaO=ctNJFf55vVA=
and page 15 seems to indicate I'm Ok as the NOx figures are as you say below 0.08g/Kg (as listed on my V5), but I really don't want to go through the hassle of getting a PCN and then appealing every time.
Having Euro 4 on the V5 would seem to avoid all of this hassle, which I understood from others here that we could get listed...
