Chapter 638: Mercedes-Benz E's common problem

The formalities went very smoothly, and Fang Yuan and Boss Wang were very happy.

Originally, according to the rules, in order to be afraid of deducting points for violations, Fang Yuan should bet a part of the car payment and give it a week later, because Boss Wang was in a hurry to go abroad, and promised that there was no violation, and people sent more than 10,000 yuan of insurance, Fang Yuan was embarrassed to mention this matter again, and directly paid all the house and car payments, even if there were violations, if there were fewer ones, they would deal with it themselves, and if they were more, they would find Sister Liu to solve them.

Fang Yuan thought that the current second-hand car expert-level vehicle condition identification skills could not check violations, which was still a bit imperfect.

Fang Yuan knew that Master and Uncle Sun were checking the condition of the car, and he was a little curious that they came back from the auto repair shop so soon, but he was embarrassed to ask in front of Boss Wang, seeing that the two of them were in a very good mood, it was estimated that the results of the inspection should be the same as his own judgment.

Things went very smoothly, and Fang Yuan said to Boss Wang, "Where are you going? I'll send you over." ”

"I won't bother you. Boss Wang liked this cheerful young man very much, and took the initiative to shake hands with Fang Yuan, "I'll just take a taxi by myself." ”

Song Guoyuan and Sun Yanming shook hands with Boss Wang one by one and said goodbye, and sent him to the car, Sun Yanming suddenly hugged Fang Yuan's shoulder, and reported the good news to him with a smile: "Old Song checked the cabin and covering parts just now, there is no trace of disassembly, the water tank has not been replaced at all, we did pick up a big leak, hahaha." ”

Sun Yanming looked up to the sky and laughed, in a very good mood, Fang Yuan was a little puzzled: "You didn't go to the auto repair shop?"

"You and Lao Song are both masters of car condition appraisal, you said it's okay, why am I going to the auto repair shop?" Sun Yanming was relieved that Fang Yuan and Song Guoyuan's technology was a hundred and a thousand, and both of them said that it was okay, of course they believed it.

"Haha. Song Guoyuan came over and said, "It's too late today to go to the transfer, so it's the same when I go back to Jingcheng and put it on the shelf first, and then change the oil and water for my grandson, and have a fine wash." ”

Sun Yanming was happy, and shouted at Song Guoyuan: "You must give me a twenty percent discount." ”

Song Guoyuan knew that Sun Yanming was happy, and he was joking with himself, so he slapped him on the shoulder: "Labor and management hemorrhage, all of them will be given to you for free, and then all the tires will be changed for you." ”

"Change tires?" Sun Yanming's technology and experience are not comparable to Song Guoyuan, he was stunned when he heard that Song Guoyuan was going to change his tires, and walked back to his Mercedes-Benz E quickly, looking down.

Sun Yanming knows that there are many patterns and uses of tires, but it is very simple to look at the old and new, just look at the date on the side and the depth of the groove.

"A business car, why do you do such sports?" Around a circle, Sun Yanming found out that this Mercedes-Benz E actually used mandarin duck tires with narrow front and wide back, or ultra-flat flat-proof tires, and asked Song Guoyuan a little puzzled, "Although the tires are 16 years old, the grooves are still relatively deep, and it is not time to replace them, right?"

"You don't understand this, Mercedes-Benz E's ultra-flat run-flat tire is easy to puncture, which is a common problem, it is safer, more comfortable, and less noisy after changing. Song Guoyuan said to Fang Yuan, "You explain it to Lao Sun." ”

Fang Yuan didn't want to immediately explain the reason why Mercedes-Benz E is prone to puncture, Song Guoyuan nodded with satisfaction, Sun Yanming was really convinced, he felt that he couldn't compare with Fang Yuan and Song Guoyuan, and asked Fang Yuan again: "Mercedes-Benz E's common problem, I know that it is easy to leak oil, a camshaft, what else is the common problem?"

"Yes, Mercedes-Benz has reached its age, and the engine has no oil leakage, and now it is only three years old, which is early before the oil leak.

This Mercedes-Benz E front-mounted four-wheel drive, its engine model is 276 823, belonging to the 3.0 twin-turbo V6 engine, the maximum horsepower 272, the maximum power 200, the maximum torque 400, the official zero hundred acceleration 5.7, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.7, the comprehensive fuel consumption should actually be more than ten oil.

On paper, the numbers are still very good. However, compared with the CT6 V6 engine, the output of the Mercedes-Benz E-class V6 is more gentle, more gradual, and does not have the sudden rapid power of American cars, but the acceleration of the Mercedes-Benz E-class V6 is not slow, but it is more gentle. This feels a lot like a self-aspirating engine, and the power delivery feels very linear overall.

In terms of transmission, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is paired with a 9AT gearbox. Because there are too many gears, it is estimated that it is really difficult to drive to 9th gear in your usual use, and perhaps Germany with no speed limit at high speed is where it comes in.

The gearbox is very smooth overall, with little to no pause in gear shifting, and when accelerating, the gearbox reacts very quickly.

Its 276 823 engine is the same as the 2.0T, four-cylinder M274 or 274A on the 19 Infiniti Q70L, because of design flaws that are prone to camshaft failure, which is indeed a common problem of Mercedes-Benz. Not only Mercedes-Benz E, but even Mercedes-Benz A, Mercedes-Benz C-Class or imported Mercedes-Benz will have similar problems. Once it appears, it will cause difficulty in starting the vehicle, the engine noise is loud after starting, and it will be accompanied by a decrease in power, fault lighting and other phenomena, when you come to the sincere maintenance in time, don't be careless. ”

Fang Yuan told Sun Yanming that in addition to oil leakage, camshafts and punctures, this 2017 Mercedes-Benz E is prone to broken axles and causes lying in a nest.

It is the risk of broken shaft in the case of long-term driving on bumpy roads, which is caused by the simple configuration of Mercedes-Benz E, and the foreign Mercedes-Benz E is made of aluminum alloy, so there is no such situation.

In Huaxia, it was simply made of steel, and the aluminum was reduced for steel, which also increased the weight of the body, which of course led to the broken shaft.

Secondly, the steering machine of the Mercedes-Benz E also has quality problems.

Whenever the wheels touch the road teeth during low-speed steering or parking, the body makes a loud abnormal noise, and the steering wheel shakes violently, and the steering wheel fails, it means that the steering system is faulty.

This is because of the quality problems of the steering machine supplier of that batch, which caused the lock nut of the steering rack of the steering machine to crack and fail to meet the strength requirements, resulting in the lock nut may break due to large lateral forces, and finally get stuck between the steering rack and the housing.

Finally, there are abnormal noises in the braking system, abnormal noises in the cabin, loud noise in the rear row, peeling of seats, opening of wires, explosion of paint on the central control wood trim, cracks, etc., in short, Sun Yanming found the problem and hurried to Jingcheng.

"Hey, in the German BBA, Mercedes-Benz has no power to power, and there is no control to control, and because some of the current Mercedes-Benz technologies are too closed, the probability of defects is relatively high, and there are so many common problems. Sun Yanming shook his head slightly and sighed, "I don't know how to do it, I just like it." ”

"Of course. Fang Yuan said to Sun Yanming with a smile, "Mercedes-Benz's zero-to-whole ratio has always been very high, maintenance is expensive, and working hours are also expensive, but Mercedes-Benz is Mercedes-Benz, in addition to styling, appearance and brand charm, it is still very commendable in terms of materials and workmanship."

The appearance is high-end, and its interior design has always been the best among the three, much stronger than BMW and Audi, and the overall temperament is also a lot more high-end, which is also one of the reasons why many car owners choose Mercedes-Benz. ”

"Don't be so pretentious. Song Guoyuan patted Sun Yanming on the shoulder and said, "The car is not so fragile, pay more attention when driving, and come over quickly if there is a small problem." ”

"Good. Sun Yanming looked at Fang Yuan and Song Guoyuan gratefully, knowing them was the greatest happiness in his life.

Sun Yanming drove his Mercedes-Benz E and returned to the Jingcheng Auto Repair Factory one after the other with the Audi can.

After everyone knew that this Mercedes-Benz E was Sun Yanming's car, Lao Li's well-informed master had nothing to do, and politely greeted Sun Yanming.

The young people in northern Jiangsu came over together, looking back and forth, inside and out.

Mercedes-Benz E's car length of more than five meters, luxurious configuration, and exquisite interior have aroused unanimous praise from Subei and others, who think that Sun Yanming is really awesome and has changed to such a good car.

Su Bei and the others were too addicted, and timidly came to Sun Yanming and asked how much the car was charged.

"Guess. Sun Yanming was in a good mood and joked with them in northern Jiangsu.

"I guess it's more than 400,000. Su Bei looked back at the car over there, and said enviously, "The day before yesterday, Boss Meng sent a 2017 E200L sports 4MATIC maintenance, and collected 300,000 yuan from the customer, and this 320 top configuration is estimated to be more expensive." ”

"You kid, you can sell used cars. Sun Yanming smiled, "If the normal car collection price is almost this price, but today Fang Yuan picked up a big leak and saved more than 100,000 yuan." ”

"Saved more than 100,000 yuan?" Not to mention that Su Bei and the others were dumbfounded, even Lao Li and these masters felt incredible, and looked at Fang Yuan in unison.

Fang Yuan simply told what had happened, Lao Li and the others all laughed, and gave Fang Yuan a thumbs up: "Niu, Manager Fang, you are really too good, too godly." ”

"Alright, alright, Subei went and drove the Prado off the lift. Song Guoyuan also wanted to check the chassis of this Mercedes-Benz E, change the tires, change the oil and water, do fine washing, and transfer the property early tomorrow morning, so he must hurry up.

When the Mercedes-Benz E rose above the lift, he first asked Su Bei to remove the plastic guards that extended to the rear of the car on both sides of the car, and Song Guoyuan took the lamp and walked down first and began to check.

Nowadays, the vast majority of OEMs will put a date label on each part, or a date on the time of pouring.

It's also simple to look at the screws, there will be a line of paint when it leaves the factory, scratching the nut and the side, if the paint on the nut disappears, it is 100% disassembled.

Looking at the rotation marks on the nut, of course, this method is not very accurate, and some people wrap the nut with something to cover up the facts.

Song Guoyuan knew that this Mercedes-Benz E was on the plate in May 2017, and the nameplate showed that the vehicle left the factory in November 2016.

Therefore, the date marked on the label of each part must be before November 2016, and it is impossible to exceed the time of November.

The maintenance record shows that the accident occurred in July 2019.

The light shines on the water tank, and a clear set of numbers appears: 9-10-2016.

Song Guoyuan smiled, but in order to prevent fraud, he replaced the dismantling parts, and looked at the radiator fan integrated circuit in the center of the water tank, and the label on it also showed the time: 8-10-2016.

The water tank is original, so there will not be any major accidents in front, even if the front bar is replaced, it does not hurt the water tank, it is a small scratch, it doesn't matter.

Song Guoyuan was still not at ease, and randomly checked the steering machine, anti-roll bar, swing arm, and transmission shaft......

These parts are all dated October 2016, and the nuts are intact and there are no traces of disassembly or twisting.

In the maintenance record, many parts are almost replaced, which is inconsistent with the maintenance record.

After checking for a while, Song Guoyuan finally determined that the maintenance records were fraudulent, and beckoned Sun Yanming to come over.

When Sun Yanming lowered his head and bent over, Song Guoyuan illuminated it with a lamp and pointed out to him all the labels: water tank, half shaft, various tie rods...... The marked time is all in October 2016, that is, the specific number of days is different, which is very normal.

"I can be 100% sure that the maintenance records are fake, showing that none of the parts that have been replaced have been replaced, and all of them are original. Song Guoyuan said that some people will use dismantling parts in order to cover up the traces of maintenance, one is cheap, and the other is the right time.

But the maintenance record shows that it was repaired for more than 60,000 yuan, and so many pieces were replaced, and it was more difficult to find all the replacements in October 2016 than to buy a lottery ticket with 100 million.

Sun Yanming's eyes followed the light, Fang Yuan and Song Guoyuan checked each other, and at that time he believed that the car was fine.

Now he has checked the chassis on the shelf again, and once again confirmed that the maintenance records were falsified, and he was used to cheat the insurance, and everything in front of him completely reassured him.

Sun Yanming pulled Song Guoyuan out quickly: "I drove the car to Jingcheng, I felt that the chassis was tight, the brakes, the steering wheel and nothing were shaking, the car was in very good condition, it didn't look like a major accident at all, and now I have repeatedly confirmed the condition of the car, I am completely relieved." ”

Song Guoyuan greeted Subei: "The car doesn't need to come down, change the oil and water, change the tires, and finally do a fine wash." ”

"I called Sister Liu and asked her to come over to get the formalities. Fang Yuan made a phone call, and Sister Liu came to Jingcheng Auto Repair Factory within five minutes, patted her chest with the formalities, and said that Sun Yanming's car must be the first to handle it, and it should be sent to Jingcheng Auto Repair Factory as soon as possible.

After tossing for such a long time, Fang Yuan saw that the time was about to get off work, and greeted everyone: "I won't work overtime today, call our Zhenghong's people, let's go to drink together, you can choose the location, and I will pay for everything." ”

Fang Yuan invited guests to dinner, everyone was very happy, in fact, many people did not worry about eating or drinking, what they cared about was Fang Yuan's affection.

"Also, there's one more good thing to announce today. Song Guoyuan said happily.

"What's the good thing?" the crowd gathered around curiously.

"In a few days, our branch will be opened. ”

These people in northern Jiangsu also know that now Jingcheng has strong technical force, and many customers are too busy, and the problem that restricts the development of Jingcheng is the scale and venue.

Today, the boss went out and got things done, and this speed made them feel very fast.

To open a branch factory, you need to recruit people, and you may have to transfer people from sincerity, let who go, who stays, not to mention that these people in northern Jiangsu are interested, even a master like Lao Li is curious.

"The personnel has not yet been decided, waiting for me to think about it. "In fact, in the car, Sun Yanming and the three of them have already discussed, because Hosono Konosuke has not replied yet, and he still has to recruit a master to repair trucks, and the Zhenghong Group has not vacated the warehouse, and now the only thing that is certain is that Sun Yanming will go to the branch, after all, Hosono Konosuke and those people are foreigners, and people with poor skills are factory directors, and they can't be suppressed.

The branch factory started from scratch, and it also needs an experienced person to worry about.

There is also the promotion of Subei as a sincere factory director, there is Fang Yuan to watch, and there are so many masters, there is nothing wrong.
