"After three garages failed to fix my BMW's timing chain rattle, EuroLine diagnosed it in 20 minutes. Their Ngong Road-tested solution saved me KES 280,000 versus dealer quotes. That’s why I trust them with my M5."
— Brian M., Performance Car Enthusiast
Kenya’s driving environment creates unique challenges for German engineering:
Bosch FSA 740 Compression Testing: Measures cylinder health without dismantling Thermal Imaging: Detects exhaust leaks invisible to mechanics Transmission Fluid DNA Analysis: Checks for clutch material contamination
"Discovered my Audi's low oil pressure was a failing oil pump - not worn bearings!" — Fatima R., Audi S5 Owner
| Component | EuroLine Approach | Generic Shop Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Turbochargers | VGT solenoid calibration bench | Improper wastegate adjustment |
| Timing Systems | Laser alignment of chains/belts | ±5° error causing valve damage |
| DSG Transmissions | Mechatronic pressure mapping | Blind clutch pack replacements |
| Engine Blocks | Ultrasonic cylinder wall testing | Overlooking hairline cracks |
Solutions for Local Conditions: Carbon Defense System: Walnut blasting + revised PCV for TFSI/TSI engines Dust Armor Kit: Upgraded air filters with pre-cleaner cyclones Traffic Survival Mode: DSG software recalibration for stop-start driving
Road Simulation: 30-minute test replicating Thika Highway climbs Performance Benchmarking: Power/torque curves vs factory specs Emission Compliance: NTSA-standard exhaust gas analysis

Likely timing chain tensioner failure - common in N-series engines. Left unfixed, it can destroy your engine. We replace with upgraded INA components (KES 64,000 all-in).
Stop-start driving overheats mechatronic units. Our Traffic Survival Mode recalibration + oil cooler upgrade solves this (KES 38,500).
Yes! We save clients 40-60% by remanufacturing instead of swapping. Our rebuilt BMW N20 engines have done 200,000+ km.
3-year/60,000km warranty on all overhauled engines - Kenya's longest coverage.
DSG services: 1 day. Full rebuilds: 3-5 days. We provide Mercedes C-Class/BMW 3-Series loaners.
