There are some shocking cases in between.

Last Sunday, we asked what the highest garagerekening is that you have to pay. There was really everything, and some of them knew the beautiful words. You will not have anything to read, so this is an overview of some shocking cases and lovely comments!

The father of @joel_d has a motorwissel in his Mercedes E55 AMG. Maybe that an E-class with that engine got?

For me anything from 500 Euro. My father had once a bill of 45,000 Euros for a new engine in his E55 AMG. Fortunately he “only” 1/3 to pay.

@ponnie explains why he is going to tinker with it.

When I have time thick 300 euro I need rags for a new caliper, I’m going to tinker with it.

@smulders shows that driving a car from the A segment as its advantages and disadvantages.

420 euros for a major service (60,000 km). Adjust headlights, oil + filter + additive, brake fluid replaced, air filter replaced, spark plugs replaced, brakes behind cleaned, MOT inspection and full checkup.

And that from a dealer. Long live the A-segment. Just a pity that I am so idiot row.

An old M3 drive is of course cool. That this is so are costs let @boris9397.

9000 euro for a some of a E30 M3.

@gerjan does not give too much to the maintenance of his car. Maybe even too little?

Few 100 euro. Always come imitation or 2 the or third Hands parts. Cheap tires under it. Recently took the wing mirror broken. Of paper mold made. Mirror from the attic caught. Mold on it. From cutting. And paste. Car should not be too much cost. 🙂

@p2000 has a time very, very much for a mirror have to pay.

€25000 for a new wing mirror. The car was lying on.

Fun hobby, a car, but sometimes it just doesn’t. We feel with you @stephane8200

€2500 for new valve puchrods and some other work on my Elise at the Brook. Year then €3000 for HGF (head gasket) at the Of Services. And the same week €1000 for about Verhagen Honda because the ignition system of my EK9 geploft was. And 3 months then €13,5 K because of voorschade because someone on the A20 out of nothing, silently stood up and I could no longer avoid my predecessor that hit the reed. Insurer would not pay because they made a mistake in the appraisal report were while they first had accepted. Eventually, with retroactive effect to almost €3K premium on the basis of new afgetikt. Then €1700 for an APK on an Audi TT where absolutely everything wrong with it was, that I supposed had exchanged on my Elise.

Oh, yes, and even a new engine in a tuned smart roadster to him again, moving to get and sell. Something of €2.5 K.

Expensive hobby, cars.

@hfdude let see what the power of a specialist.

With a cooling water losing e53 X5 4.4 to the BMW dealer in Breda gone. The account of 3.500,- and the problem is not resolved. At the BMW specialist in Rotterdam (yes a Turk), they had the problem after 20 min found and with a new snake (known BMW V8 problem according to them) for 150,- fixed. Since then I have come only at the BMW dealer for an oil change.

@silver has a nice story about a Ferrari.

34.000 guilders for a comprehensive major service on a Ferrari 412, I I that bill saw after the test drive, but have not purchased…

@jerone outlines the horror sceario where we’re all a little afraid of it.

Exhaust Peugeot 206 CC mn mom from driving, towed to Nefkens Peugeot in Den Bosch. That when EVERYTHING on a bill written that they could think of (including a great turn that less than a month earlier at them it was done). Total: 5500,- or a, total loss.

100,- should pay for their “calculations”, then a normal bovag garage gone and it was fully repaired for 650,-. You understand; Nefkens Den Bosch is not a must, in fact, I would far from stay away. I’ve rarely been as conned and felt.

A story of @sketcher that wegleest like a thriller by Stephen King. The costs fall slightly, but what an adventure.

1120 euro, but especially a lot of sweat, tears and silent prayers.

Christmas 2011, we had no plans to go anywhere, to my grandmother of my wife suddenly suffered a stroke. When was everything on its head. We went here 2 days before christmas. Normally not a problem but my wife is from Moldova, and the grandmother lives in Transnistria (not recognized country in MD on the border with the Ukraine) about 2500KM further. I had my Discovery II Td5) like a half a year, bought it with a ton but with maintenance, the most well done but not quite yet.

Briefly considered to Germany, Poland, Ukraine to drive but opted for Germany, Romania, Hungary, Rumania, MD.
Short to fast, everything packed, refueled and in the evening away so that we at night the traffic jams in Germany would miss. Disco did fine, delicious with 140km/h through Germany drove the whole night. Just before the border with Austria at 5 am in the morning I feel the Disco what cloying. I did the same: The air suspension. At the border, stopped to look and idd when I pressed the button for terrain elevation light the whole dashboard, and I got idd the error of the SLS.

Using the Wi-fi a dealer on the route in Vienna found and we go there. Luckily they were just opening by the time we got there and despite the fact that I already told what was broken, they had him plug in the computer. Analytical thinking is not at all needed via the PC at the dealer, another reason why I prefer not to come. Also they were not really a lot alive. I got no warm feeling in each case.

But after more than an hour klunzen with the readout equipment the conclusion: SLS compressor kaduuk, You don’t say! Yes that they did not have in stock, At my insistence throughout Austria called off, no, that was from France and would not until after christmas. No option, of course, because that would be grandmother is already dead and buried. 120 euro for reading, and thank you. I got them back air in the system to blow up and are on good luck further to Budapest ridden. Vienna we had also already seen, and Budapest had been a while since we both had been so real bad luck than but stay there. We had the dealer already called but not to tackle driving so hoping for a miracle to happen that way.

The basket there spoke no English but very friendly. 3 addresses called off, 2 gotten hold, unfortunately. Via google translate the man said, Sorry, happy Xmas and goodbye. We back away, we are at the door, the phone rings. His 3rd address. Yes that was a lie and would come to him. 3 hours later, it was ready. The cost is about 1000 euros but that we had there.

That same trip I made with old bicycle tyres, glue and tyraps also a condensing coil repaired in Moldova. Actually never had it with the Disco, the maintenance himself. Compressor was broken by bad height sensors. Often. Sin for a new sensor takes just 2 tens.

Grandma has saved and is still alive and as well as completely restored. The trip back was a lot more relaxed, and that we have what hares slaapjes in 1 ruk driven. A total of more than 5000km.

Now I have o.a. a spare compressor on hand, along with crucial parts and tools. I have readout equipment so no need ever again to a dealer. Furthermore, I know the Disco II by and by.
