Fact: Germany has long worked for the primary buyer, forcing them to switch cars almost every three years after the warranty expires. The “secondary” brings huge incomes due to the rapidly “dying” parts. Yes, over a million cars are a story of years gone by.
After about 2010, even car manufacturers that call themselves premium stopped making reliable and high-quality products. Well, let’s remember. As, in fact, we forget a number of models that intend to go into the dustbin of history. Among them: famous for their “killability” Audi R8 and TT, as well as Volkswagen Sharan. By the way, the latest experts from the authoritative agency TÜV called one of the most problematic cars, which causes a lot of trouble during operation.
But AutoBild experts have long criticized the BMW N63B44 engine, which has undergone many improvements over the past decade that have not deprived the V8 of two turbines with characteristic sores. For example, constantly leaking nozzles will easily lead the engine to water hammer. About the “maslozhor”, we believe, it is not worth mentioning at all. Incidentally, VAG products also suffer from excessive use of lubricants. Especially with EA888 engines in 1.8 and 2 liter variants. These units have been exchanged for several generations, but they have not been able to completely get rid of the increased oil consumption. But also due to premature wear of the timing chain. But before that, the chains of the same Audi went even more than the engines themselves!
Incidentally, not only the Germans strongly advise against the purchase of the infamous A6 sedan, released between 2011 and 2018. For example, British experts What Car have repeatedly included this model in the rating of the most unreliable cars. The reason is still the same: a weak distribution chain and therefore permanent problems with the electricity.
