Dropping the mileage Europe's big problem, only two cars are protected!

But some automotive manufacturers show that there is another way. According to police data in Germany, the speedmaker is manipulated in every third used vehicle. So even when Croatian buyers buy vehicles used in Germany, they can expect to enter the same statistical category.

Speed adjustment is usually children's game and is offered by 50 euros. Thus, cheaters raise the average value of 3,000 euros per car, misleading used automobile buyers or launching companies. Total damage estimated in Germany is about six billion euros annually. Besides cheating prices, a potential buyer may suffer because, for example, he does not change his time belt and because of this engine, he may suffer a catastrophic breakdown.

Acceleration is difficult to detect. Most of the OBD devices can't do that either. Therefore, users of used cars must check for differences. Check service bills, service documentation, MOT data, fuel bills (if a fuel card is used, mile is shown there) or oil change labels for authenticity. The oil changes later in 40 thousand miles.

So if there's supposed to be only 100 thousand miles an hour, and the next change of oil is 180 thousand miles, something's wrong. When buying a used car, pay attention not only to the mile but also to the condition of the car and the work of the former owners.

A two - mile [1 km] - long vehicle headed on short urban streets that cause consumption may be under stress more than one with many miles of travel, which is mainly on long journeys. Memory of mistakes and maintenance intervals can be read in services. Kilometerage partially recorded in error notes (resisting in cars) should not pass the total mileage shown on the instrument panel. We know, there's a lot of variables, but there's no alternative. Or you may enjoy the factor of fate to buy a used car.

If you have any doubts, you can determine the date of the speed production and control units at the service center. It is possible that they have been damaged during manipulation and then replaced. A speed measure, or one - year control unit, of production 2021 (usually stamped in boxes or taped to a glue) will not fit a vehicle produced in 2019. Unless the previous owner may prove to have been replaced because of a defect. In this case, however, many manufacturers transfer the current total mileage to the new ward.

EU regulation 2017/1151 stipulates that mileage in a car should be systematically protected. The law has been in force since September 2017 for new model vehicles and since September 2018 for all new cars. However, there is still a detailed regulation of what this protection should look like and which neutral organ should control it. The result is fraud continues.

During the assessment of relevant websites, ADAC experts noted that this is no longer relevant to new models Audi A3 and VW Golf 8. It is reasonable to assume that such models can be better protected from fraud than many other models, even in the rank of higher prices. Class. Audi and Volkswagen claim that computer chips with HSM are responsible for the difficulty of breaking their code. It stands for Hardware Secure Modele, which is a mechanism to protect against mileage manipulation. /Telegraphy/
