For years, we have warned that “cheaper” fossil fuel vehicles (FFVs) are generally more expensive than electric vehicles (EVs), often costing at least twice as much over time. With 14 years of experience and insights from various sources, including tuners and technicians from authorized Porsche Interauto service centers, we’ve seen that new FFVs are often poorly made. They are constructed from low-quality and weakened materials, incorporate overly complicated solutions, are prone to programmed failures, and have excessively expensive parts. For instance, the 3.0 TDI engines installed since around 2014 have been problematic, yet this issue has largely gone unaddressed for nearly a decade.

The public only became aware of these problems when they experienced them firsthand. Despite the widespread issues, fossil fuel vehicles rarely face recalls or part revisions for even the most serious faults. In contrast, every detail of EVs is scrutinized and criticized. Mainstram media often provide shallow opinions and fail to hold FFVs to the same standard of reporting and journalism. They rarely question the cost of parts in gasoline or diesel vehicles, which are often more expensive than the entire EV they criticize.

These media outlets praise fossil fuel vehicles because they are paid to do so. If they criticize them, they risk losing exclusive access to new models for test drives. This biased reporting contributes to the declining quality of FFVs, making journalists who sell such propaganda complicit in the degradation of automotive standards. In multiple notable examples mainstream anti-EV media propagate misleading information.

As a result, consumers have a hard time finding reliable information about both EVs and FFVs. The automotive industry suffers from this lack of accountability, and the true cost of owning an FFV remains hidden, while the benefits of EVs are unfairly criticized.

After years of enduring journalistic bias and discrimination of EV in the automotive industry, it’s clear there is a significant lack of independent, unbiased information from ordinary users and crucially, experienced mechanics. Mechanics, the essential link in providing reliable information to vehicle owners, have been sidelined and demonized as “scammers” by journalists and self-proclaimed “car enthusiasts.”

The media landscape is dominated by biased reporting that fails to criticize low-quality, expensive engines and programmed failures. Only a few voices, like colleague Bagrameli, consistently highlight these issues from a fossil fuel perspective. Mechanics with their extensive experience should be respected and proud of their contributions to the automotive industry.

Audi has particularly struggled with their diesel models since 2012. Issues range from high-pressure pumps that deteriorate and cost €10,000 to repair on the 2.0 TDI, to catastrophic failures in the 3.0 TDI engines. These engines, identified by codes CRT, CUA, CZV, and DEWA, have fundamental design flaws. For example, a spring in the camshaft meant to tension the gear disintegrates as early as 50,000 km. Additionally, after an oil change, an air pocket can remain on the pressure valve or oil pressure regulation sensor, potentially destroying the entire engine block. Every component, from the crankshaft and camshaft to the oil system, 48V generator, and 48V Li-Ion battery, is prohibitively expensive and prone to failure.

Most of these vehicles face severe, costly problems by 50,000 km, where a vehicle with 200 kW can only be driven gently to ensure it lasts to 100,000 km. The state of the German auto industry raises serious concerns, and the lack of critical voices to address these issues is troubling.

As a result, many people will inevitably switch to EVs, not due to coercion, but because they have no alternative. These fossil fuel powertrains often fail before 100,000 km, with repair costs around €28,000. The need for reliable, critical reporting and recognition of the valuable insights from experienced mechanics has never been more urgent.

These vehicles are so risky that even simple oil change services, where the poorly designed engine can blow out the engine block, will result in blaming the mechanic, as it usually happens. Owners have started to harass mechanics with invented expensive problems, “it wasn’t like this when I came,” so there are fewer and fewer mechanics and services willing to work on these vehicles. It’s less of a hassle to replace the battery on an EV than to do a small service on an Audi diesel CRT engine.

Therefore, it is certain that fossil fuel vehicles have dug their own grave with poor quality. Those who drive them and charge once for subpar parts will realize that even the battery on a Tesla, costing 20,000 euros, is cheaper than diesel trash. We have been working on and servicing them for years, and we switched to EV primarily because of wasting money on oil, and the last straw was the poor quality of the engine and increasingly expensive maintenance parts. So, dear audience, the EV battery is 4 times cheaper than a fossil fuel engine.

Ono sto već godinama upozoravamo nakon 14 godina iskustva, da su “jeftiniji” fosilci od EV u principu skuplji od EV, u najmanju ruku duplo skuplji. Tema za koju smo mi znali, iz više razlicitih izvora upozoravali (ne samo što ih mi radimo već) od Tjunera pa do tehničara ovlaštenih servisa Porsche Interauto, da su novi fosilci smeće. Smeće od nekvalitetnih materijala, oslabljenih materijala, prekompliciranih riješenja, programiranih kvarova pa do abnormalno skupih dijelova. Motori 3.0tdi koji su se počeli ugradjivati ako se ne varam jos od 2014, znači prije 10 godina, kako je moguće da to isto smeće niko nikad nije prozvao, propitkivao ili izvještavao. Kako je moguće da se to poluproizvod smeće prodavalo skoro 10 godina i da šira publik sazna o problemu tek na vlastitoj kože, a odgovor leži doslovno u svakom mogućem članku Revijahak, Autoportal, Jutarnji, Auto Klub, Start Shitnews, Index Auto i ostalim portalima kojima je mišljenje podmazano da bude površno. Kritikuje se samo EV za svaku sitnicu, a smeće od fosilaca i za najopasnije greške ne dobije ni opoziv, a kamo li reviziju dijela. Temama koliko koji dio košta na novom autu je samo propitkivan kad je u pitanju ono sto oni mrze i sto neobjektivno žele dezinformirti publiku, a to je koliko košta EV baterija ali ne znaju koliko košta ijedan pogonski dizel benzin motora tih vozila koja oni hvale a koji je u principu skoplji od CIJELOG FOSILCA (upravo ono sto tvrde za EV), a hvale jer im je plaćeno a ako kritikuju onda nemaj “eksluziv” pristup novim modelima na test voznju. Zato ako se pitate zašto su fosilci sve veće i veće smeće, glavni krivci su automotive destruktori – novinari koji prodaju propagandu za prodaju hvaleći nešto o čemu nemaju pojma ni kako radi. Šebalji, Ilko autofašista sa automobili.hr , novinari indexa , jutarnjeg i ostalog propagandno desktruktivnog kartela su zaslužni za stanje užasne kvalitete u automotive sektoru. Običan vjerni ljubitelj limenih igrački se nema gdje informirati niti o EV niti o Fosilcima.

Screenshot Primjer jednog fakenews portala koji agendom ne kritizirajuci fosilce, neobjektivno bombardira dezinformacijama. Novinari koji poprilično nesposobnim vještinama poznavanja ijedne automotive materije kopiraju clanak dodaju narativ da dobiju par klikova i izmjišljaju nepostojeći debilizam o automobilima, dok istovremeno ne prenosi recimo temu o dizelskim pogonima koji su smeće u cilju da zaštiti kupca ili budućeg vlasnika i da prizvođač ponudi trajno riješenje. Ne prenosi kvarove i cijene dijelova istih.

Tako da nakon svih ovih godina slušanja novinarskog automobilskog fašizma i diskriminacije onih tema kojima se njima ne podmazuju možemo doći do zaključka da jako nedostaje neovisnog i neucjenjenog auditorijuma u režiji običnih korisnika i vrlo ključnih mehaničara koji su zanemarena karika i glas u informiranju vlasnika. Mehaničarima sa iskustvom oduzeto je pravo na glas, oduzeli su novinari i samoprozvani “automobilisti” i još su u tom procesu mehaničare demonizirali u “prevarante”. Skoro da uopće nemamo takav medijski podij sa realnom “pljuvačinom” na smeće, nekvalitetne i skupe pogone, programirane kvarove. Iskazuje se jedino kolega Bagrameli sa tim temama i dugogodišnjim iskostvom koji vjerno prenosi teme i iz fosilnog kutka. Mehaničari sa svojim iskustvom bi trebali biti ponos tog dijela automobilizma.

Audi je sa novim dizel modelima od 2012 fulao sve od visokotlačne pumpe koja se počne perutati i sanacija košta 10000eura na 2.0 tdi, pa do kompletnog 3.0 tdi motora gdje su u bregastu smjestili oprugu da napinje zupčanik koji se raspane već na 50k km. Prijavljeni poluproizvod kodovi motora su CRT CUA CZV DEWA. Osim toga, motor je toliko loše konstruiran da nakon izmjene ulje ostane airpocket na ventilu tlaka ili senzoru regulacije tlaka ulja da razbije kompletan blok motora. Na motoru se raspada radilica, bregasta, uljni sistem, 48v generator, 48v Li-Ion akumulator… i svaka kompnenta je kao suho zlato.
Velika većina tih vozila jako skupe probleme ima već na 50000km, gdje vozilo od 200kw bi morali voziti do 50kmh i sa balerinkama na nozi da penetrirate samo 5% pedale gasa i da bi ste sačuvali motor da izdrži 100k km. Žalosno da se čovjek zapita koji je klinac sa tom Njemačkom autoindustrijom i gdje je taj glas kritike da se to zaustavi. Realno ekipa će prelaziti na EV samo zato što nemaju alternativu, čak i bez (kako bi rekli ravnozemljaši) prisile.
Ta vozila su toliko rizična i najjednostavnije male servise izmjene ulja, gdje ce loš dizajna motora izbiti blok motora pa će biti “majstor kriv” kako to inače bude. Mehaničare su vlasnici počeli silovati izmišljenim skupim problemima “nije to tako bile kad sam dosao” da sve manje mehanicara i servisa ima koji uopce žele raditi na tim vozilima. Manja je šteta da na EV probijete bateriju nego da radite mali servis na Audi dizel CRT motoru.

Zato je sigurno da su totalno nepouzdani fosilci sami sebi iskopali grob nekvalitetom, tko ih vozi i naplaća se jednom škart dijelova shvatit će da i sama baterija na Tesli od 20000eura je jeftinija od dizel smeća. Mi ih godinama radimo i servisiramo, a na EV smo prešli primarno zbog bacanja love na naftu a zadnja kap je bila nekvaliteta pogona i sve skuplji dijelovi za održavanje.

Tako da draga publiko, baterija na EV je 4x jeftinija od pogona fosilca.
