The oil and oil filter will be changed, some additional safety checks will be made and some moving parts will be lubricated. The checks will be centred around the horn, lights, brakes, fluid levels, exhaust, tyres and searching for any fluid leaks in the car.

Mark: Hi, it’s Mark, Top Local Lead Generation in Vancouver with Mr. Bernie Pawlik of Pawlik Automotive in Vancouver. Pawlik are 16 time winners of Best Auto Repair in Vancouver. How’re you doing today Bernie?

Bernie: Doing very well

 Mark: So we’re going to talk about another Mercedes Benz, another Merc, a GL350 that you had to replace the engine on, a 2010 that seems kind of early.  What happened?

 Bernie: Very early, uh basically the engine seized up and that’s why we replaced the engine.

 Mark:  So diesels, aren’t diesels supposed to last kind of a long time?  How did this happen on a vehicle that’s not got that many years on it?

 Bernie:  Well, not only did this vehicle not have a lot of years, it had very little mileage too, it only had 50,000 kilometers so that’s what’s even more shocking but yeah you’re right diesel’s are supposed to last a long time and they do.  This vehicle however, did not have its oil changed regularly enough, maybe never, it’s hard to say.  According to the client he had changed it but obviously not enough and what happened is the oil had basically turned to sludge and the engine got destroyed.

 Mark:  Wow, how often are oil changes recommended on the Mercedes diesel?

 Bernie:  Usually its around 15,000 kilometers but they do have an electronic monitoring system and it will, it will remind you of when you need to change your oil so if you only drive say 5,000 kilometers a year, that would be like three years between oil changes which is far too long so they, they also put a time frame in those reminders but really you know, no matter what happens as an owner of a vehicle like this you really need to be responsible for it and go a year’s up and I’ve only driven 3 or 5,000 kilometers, I just need to change the oil anyway, so that’s kind of the, that’s kind of the key is let time be your guide as well as mileage.

 Mark:  So, tell us some more about this engine repair, did you find anything else interesting when you were doing the work?

 Bernie: Well there was a lot and I’m going to share a few pictures here, so let’s go to the screen share and I’ll put some pictures up. Now is that visible Mark?

 Mark:  Yep, it is.

 Bernie:  O.K. awesome and I’ll just maximize the size here, so this is just an example of some of the parts and pieces of the engine repair job.  This is an extremely complicated engine and this isn’t even all the bits and pieces.  I mean the engine block we have sitting on an engine stand so on this pile on the floor here, there’s the flywheel, all the fuel injectors are on the left side in the bottom, there’s turbo chargers ducts, there’s the wiring harness is that big black thing lying on the floor there with a lot of electrical plugs to connect, there’s a turbo charger near that piece, there’s just a variety of pieces so I’m just showing you this to scare you if you’re a person who owns a vehicle like this, change your oil regularly because it just makes a lot of sense.

 Now let’s see what else we have here; go through some of these pictures because they’re a little out of order for what I wanted to show.  So this is the view of what we found when we took the oil engine pan off and this was after draining the oil for a while.  If we’d actually tried to resurrect this engine by running some fresh oil through it, so this is sludge that was in the bottom of the engine oil. You can’t really appreciate unless you actually stick your hands in it, but this is like goopy tar and I think even the least experienced car drivers know that engine oil is very horrible kind of compound so it never looks like this.  Here’s another view; this is the bottom of the engine with the oil pan off and that’s basically just the whole bottoms covered in a sludgy, tarry substance.

 Just a few other interesting things we found. I mean carbon build up is a common problem on modern diesel engines because they use a EGR system that’s an exhaust gas for circulation, reduces emissions but what it does, it redirects exhaust gas back in to the combustion chambers and that will cause carbon deposits but this vehicle with only 50,000 kilometers it has just severe carbon deposits. We just, we never find these on a Mercedes diesel; you know sometimes it’s found on Volkswagens after like two hundred thousand kilometers but this is like, this is just an insane amount of sludge.  On the top you can see there’s a hole that’s blocked, that’s actually called a swirl valve and that’s the valve open, that’s the valve closed but I mean the amount of air flow through these ports is very, very minimal so we spent a lot of extra time on this engine cleaning these ports out to make sure it breathes, you know the engine is breathing properly so even if this thing had not seized up, it would not have been performing very well.

 There’s just some more sludge, I mean this is again part of intake passage way.  The diameter of this tube has been reduced by at least a third so that I mean that has a big effect on engine performance.  Again there’s our picture of the, all the parts so I’ll just stop screen share here and we’ll get back to our conversation.

 Mark:  Alright, so it was a mess, kind of reminds me of the older folks in our audience, the old Fram oil filter thing, pay me now or pay me later; would you say this repair illustrates that statement?

 Bernie:  Very well. The thing is interestingly of that statement is you can pay me now or pay me later kind of insinuates that you can change your oil or can use their quality oil filter and pay a little extra for it or you’ll pay later but that almost implies to me, it’s a 2 + 2 equals 4 kind of situation but in this case with this Mercedes 50,000 kilometers should have had about 5 oil changes, uh that’s about on this vehicle because they use a special synthetic oil and it’s a time consuming job, it’s about $1,000 operation but the repair bill for this job was well over $20,000 so that’s definitely, it definitely makes the changing of oil a lot cheaper plus the owner was out of the vehicle for a couple months and you know all the extra inconvenience so it really does pay to change your oil, use good quality oil, good quality oil filters, change it regularly, same with all your other fluids because it really does save you money.

 Mark:  So in the final analysis, when you had to change the block is that what you actually got a new block for the vehicle, is that why it took so long?

 Bernie:  Yeah, we had, we got a rebuilt engine block, it’s also for this vehicle the only thing quite inconvenient is that it was surprising because there’s a lot of Mercedes engines around; we service a lot of them, they’re found in several of these Mercedes vehicles, they’re found in Sprinter vans, they’re found in Jeep diesel engines, Jeep uses this engine but it’s a very difficult engine to find; there’s nobody around Vancouver who rebuild this engine, we had to actually order it from the U.S. from a rebuilder that does specialize in Sprinter engines or that, either that from the Mercedes dealer but that, but I don’t even want to tell you the price for that one, it’s just insane.  You know, so it’s either buy from Mercedes, try to find a used one, even a used one there was nothing available so you know, the rebuilt one, it actually runs very well so this should give the, with proper oil changes this should give the owner years and years and years of good service.
