Only one is like four people who own these German machines in Kenya can afford to maintain them according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
That explains why they may have a somewhat bad name because most buyers are not the intended target market. Mtu anauza premio anashika Benz/BMW halafu maintenance anaexpect ikuwe exactly kama ya premio because that’s what his income allows. He cuts corners, kuruka service etc. Anapigwa stick anasema gari ni mbaya.
Still a problem but there are aftermarket head gaskets that help with the problem. I love them for the simple reason that I can work on them myself most of the time, you can do reasonable high speeds “safely” and the AWD. The other reason ni ujana tuu ndio unanisumbua.
