2. Selling a diesel car – with or without software update
some manufacturers offer software updates for diesel vehicles. These are designed to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions and comply with the limits of the euro exhaust emission classes. But changing the software is not enough to sufficiently improve the air in cities. Therefore, driving bans for diesel cars could still follow. This is what you have to consider when planning to sell a diesel car with regard to the manufacturer’s software update.
Is there an obligation to update the software??
Together with a Notification of the vehicle owner the consumer usually receives the offer to make a free software update. This measure can be carried out within one hour. In addition to authorized workshops, the update is also carried out at many qualified car dealerships. This is to save 25 to 30 percent of the harmful exhaust emissions that have led to the so-called diesel scandal. But at present, almost only manufacturers of German car brands have promised software updates for diesel engines. the brands of the volkswagen group vw, audi and porsche as well as daimler, BMW and opel offer these.
Will the "emissions scandal" cause my diesel to lose value?? While sales conditions for euro 6 diesels are hardly difficult, young euro 5 diesels first registered in 2013 or earlier are currently somewhat harder to sell. Until recently, younger euro 4 diesels were just as popular as older euro 5 diesels for second-hand purchases. but without the retrofit from the manufacturer side, these vehicles could be affected by the now possible driving bans and loss of value.
Make a software update before selling a diesel car?
Many customers wonder if an update makes engines less durable. Because the functioning of the engines is modified when the engine control system is changed by a software update. With this certain wear parts wear differently: For example, the exhaust gas recirculation valve, the storage catalytic converter, the urea injection system, the SCR catalytic converter and the particulate filter.
With the new engine control after a software update, for example, the fuel is injected under higher pressure. This leads to more soot, which can, however, be burned off and thus removed during a workshop appointment. Manufacturers assure that a software update will not lead to increased fuel consumption or reduced performance. Also, the engines of the vehicles would not wear out faster. However, there are no guarantees from the manufacturer for it.
in the event that customers wish to take legal action against the manufacturer, no software update should be carried out on the car. The vehicle should remain in its current state.
Anyone planning to sell a diesel car that has not been retrofitted must, according to legal experts, point this out to the buyer. Because among experts it is disputed whether diesel cars with old software have an operating license or whether there is such a significant defect here that it must necessarily be remedied by the software update.
