A 2013 BMW 128i rolled into our shop due to a suspicious fuel-like smell and a small leak.
During inspection, our expert technician found fuel to be leaking from the leak detection pump. This means that the charcoal canister was saturated, causing fuel to make its way to the leak detection pump.
The leak itself is likely caused by a faulty float separator valve, which is built into the fuel tank.
Additionally, our tech found an oil leak at the valve cover. We are recommending to replace the fuel tank, leak detection pump, purge valve, charcoal canister, and the valve cover. After all this, we will retest and make sure all leaks are gone.
We will have this beloved vehicle back on the road in no time! Call Bavarian Auto Haus at 775-825-6511.

This 2014 Audi A5 Quattro came in because the A/C was blowing nothing but warm air. Not to worry! Our technician immediately hooked it up to our newest addition A/C machine and inspected pressures. Both the high and low side had atmospheric pressure, suggesting no freon in the system. Then, they did a pressure test and it failed. The next step was to run dye through the system to help locate damage. With the aide of the dye, we found the condenser to be damaged.
Our tech is recommending to replace the condenser and then perform an AC service to get this audi back on the road cool as a cucumber!!

Before taking a trip, the owner of this 2019 BMW X3 xDrive30i brought it into our shop. They asked us to do a general checkup, make sure everything is in order, and do a tire rotation and alignment.
During the inspection, our technician found coolant actively leaking from the hose at the coolant pump. The hose had broken off completely. Additionally, the rear tires have less tread than the front.
Our recommendation? Tire replacement instead of rotation, replacing the hose, and a coolant service. No matter where you go, Bavarian Auto Haus has got your back! Call today at 775-825-6511.

A 2013 Mercedes-Benz E350 came in for a coolant leak. Our expert technician brought it into the shop to perform a pressure test to pinpoint the leak. However, they were startled when they heard a loud clacking noise coming from the engine. Upon inspection, they found the serpentine belt tensioner slapping around. They followed the belt to the alternator pulley and found it to be wobbling around with metal flakes stuck to it.

Further along, they then found there to be a massive oil leak from the upper timing cover, covering the engine in oil. Due to all the oil, the integrity of the alternator is destroyed and has completely failed. Additionally, the water pump is leaking severely because of the oil saturation damaging the seals.

And only to add to our list of concerns, they also found the cooling system has had a stop leak added to the reservoir, which can completely damage the system, and the brake fluid is completely discolored and contaminated, and the sway bar link bushing is torn and leaking.

Our tech is hoping to combat all of these problems by recommending starting by replacing all problem areas and resealing the upper timing cover.

Then, replace the coolant reservoir and radiator cap and completely flush out the cooling system multiple times to get all contamination out and recommending flushing the brake fluid as well.

After these major issues are dealt with, they will need to look everything over again to make sure that all issues have been addressed and that there aren't anymore that they couldn't see from the initial inspection. Regular maintenance and upkeep is key with German cars. You can trust Bavarian Auto Haus to have your back! Call today at 775-825-6511, we are here for every roller coaster ride!

This 2013 BMW X3 was brought in due to the A/C making a concerning noise. Additionally, after the customer added freon, the air went warm after 3 days. While performing an A/C service, our expert tech found that the high pressure service valve was leaking refrigerant, and the upper radiator hose showed signs of dried coolant. They also found the oil pan to be leaking.
