Repairs are getting more expensive; it is easier to repair older engines but not the modern, electronically controlled ones

 Matt of Diesel Creek shows how simple and straightforward the repairs of mechanical engine  Those that are all ready electronically controlled looks complicated and expensive to repair.

Most of the engines of Heavy Equipment repaired by Matt are diesel.  The electric part only is about battery and starter.   That is all.    (The only complicated ones are bulldozers that have pony engine.  First you have to start the pony engine and then the pony engine will start the main diesel engine)  Then it is a straighforward checking and replacing oil, fuel, oil and fuel filter.   That is it.

But  there are two main paths to pursue in electonically controlled engine:   fuel (which is also electonically controlled by ECU fuel injectors and sensors)  EGR valve, crankshaft position sensor.   And they are not cheap

Thus Matz had to resort palit (change) parts (no more repairs) that involve sensor, ECU (which cost 6 numbers) And a day repair by Matz can cost upwards from P5K to P100k.    That is not my type of repair.

Our Navarra pick up repair tab runs up by 6 numbers too.  Huhuhu

Things you should never do to your car, to save on repair costs

These are preventive measures.  How many of them have your done?  Are you wrecking your car unknowingly or on purpose?

This is a good guide.
