The severity of failures, of course, depends on the operating conditions. Nevertheless, we highlight some of the breakdowns that arise from the carelessness of the mates.
The first is clogged radiators. Since the units must be dismantled before washing, they pay attention to dirty cells only if the engine begins to warm up or lose power (a clogged intercooler), or if there are problems with the operation of the “climate”. Therefore, it is better to pay for the procedure (and do it regularly) than to overheat. Let’s add to this the fact that most “Germans” like to “eat” fat. Here is the result – the inevitable overhaul of the “choking” engine, which also suffers from lack of oil.
Many Mercedes and BMWs that have been driven in the city have a clogged particulate filter for 130,000 km. You should also clean the intake manifold. If this has never been done in 150,000 km, then it is definitely clogged with mud. Such a mess entails the replacement of swirl flaps (about 50,000 rubles), so it’s better not to wait with the “moidodyr”.
And here is the characteristic “pain” of the people’s favorite BMW X5 with a “diesel”. The O-ring of the charge air line should be replaced more often than the replacement of the brake discs. So for 200,000 km it will have to be replaced several times. Otherwise, traction will disappear and the car will become “sluggish”. But worst of all, the sealing locking bracket is worn out. Then replacing the “chewing gum” is indispensable. And that’s where the “money sucker” begins. The bracket is only mounted with a tube. It is better not to install the Chinese analogue: you can damage the bypass damper. And if the pipe is connected directly to the turbine, the chances of “getting” a lot of money increase significantly.
We also note that the “Germans” are fast cars, but they are not intended for racing. Drifting is contraindicated even for M-series sports sedans. The differential, hubs and bearings suffer from this. And very often crossovers such as the Mercedes-Benz ML or Volkswagen Touareg are called SUVs. But even with a “roadless” package, it is better not to drive them in serious dirt. You can not only tear off the bumpers, but also ruin the “razdatka”, like other expensive units.
