It depends on whether they are being tested for emissions, and whether the special software has kicked in or not.

I’d say you’ve got the word you’re looking for in the question itself: “putting”. Is “Volkswagen” significant, or will any car do?

The correct term isn't "putting" but put-putting (or "putt-putting"). Why isn't this word perfectly descriptive?
