Most expensive repairs: the engine faults that cost the most to fix

The most expensive documented repair among the the 206 engines and gearboxes we have analysed is “Total failure of the traction battery in the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y” (Tesla Model 3 / Model Y): up to €14,000 at the dealer, according to the published figure. They are followed by “Valve body and mechatronic failure: erratic shifts or a locked-up gearbox” (ZF 6HP, up to €10,000) and “Excessive oil consumption and engine failure” (1.2 TCe, up to €10,000).^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]}

Faults ordered by the highest documented figure for each, whether from an independent garage or a dealer. Prices are for Spain, including VAT; what each figure includes is detailed on the fault's page. It covers only the engines we have analysed. How we calculate costs
