In the years of my car ownership I've seen failing engine seals, multiple kinds of EGR failures, catalytic converter degradation, intake manifold baffle solenoids fail, fuel pump failures, thermostat failures, and more. And that's just failures, not all the preventative maintenance like changing spark plugs, changing timing belts, fluid replacements, valve clearance adjustments, and more.
Meanwhile the maintenance schedule for my EV drive train is a fluid change every 150,000mi.
- theshrike79 3y agoSame here, cabin air filter change yearly. The first "real" maintenance is at 150k km where they do something to the battery cooling system. After that the next one is at 300k. I have no intention of keeping the car that long. (of course there's the regular tire changes and brake repair, but it's not enforced by the manufacturer)
