When you hand in your car for service at the brand workshop, it may happen - although it is very rare - that the car's software is updated. This means that the program is overwritten and lost. If this happens to you, we will ensure that you receive an updated program reinstalled free of charge as goodwill**. If you wish to restore the car's original software, we will also do this free of charge. A free update or restoration to original, then 1,990:-.
** Gäller ej om tillverkaren försvårar/omöjliggör uppdatering. Gäller under perioden som omfattas av motorgarantin från leverantören. Har din garanti gått ut har du rätt att tacka nej till en uppdatering om du servar på märkesverkstad, din motor blir då original igen. På grund av”dieselgate” skandalerna försöker märkesverkstäderna undgå ansvar genom att installera en ny programvara även på äldre modeller. Denna uppdatering ger normalt ca 7-8 % högre bränsleförbrukning, lägre motoreffekt och sämre gasrespons - här tackar du nej. Vi uppdaterar även din bil i dessa fall men kostnaden är 1.990:-. Vi uppdaterar inte kostnadsfritt Alfa Romeos 2.9T, Audi R8 V10, Volvo 2.0 diesel, bensin eller hybrid från 2016 och VW Transporter från -22 och bilar med dubbla ECU, kostnad 2.990.-.
STT Emtec emission & engine technology laboratory has tested diesel boxes that showed a power increase of approximately 1/3 of the promised power increase, another disadvantage was exceeding the maximum exhaust gas temperature in the turbo and too high fuel pressure.
