Only related story is that of a small passenger car diesel the Mercedes OM 636 4 cylinder diesel. I had a service van with it back in the day and loved it. Reliable and never failed.VW has done a series of recalls on the DieselGate engines. The first one applied a software update. The second one changed hardware in the emissions system. Depending on when the second update was done, another one of the same might be needed to get the car to 150000 miles, which is the end of the emissions warranty.

No emissions stuff, no computers just an engine that works
OM 636 History
The legendary Mercedes-Benz OM 636 four cylinder in-line, indirect injection diesel engine with a cubic capacity of 1767 cm3 and producing up to 42HP was originally developed between 1946 and 1949 and fitted to the 170D (170Da, 170Db, 170DS, 170SD), 180D and 180Db Mercedes Ponton sedans during the 1950s and is considered the forefather of later generations of Mercedes diesels.Its design was derived from the M 136 petrol engine fitted to the earlier 170V and with which it shares many dimensional similarities and internal components.
Numerous automotive applications of the OM 636 include the Mercedes-Benz Unimog 2010, 401, 402 and 411 models, the 319 series transporter as well as in forklift trucks, farm tractors, combine harvesters and other special purpose vehicles.The OM 636 was also used to power electrical generators and stationary water pumps.
