There's some pretty good reasons for not letting owners work on the engine in their Koenigsegg. No, your uncle Hank doesn't know how to fix it and probably shouldn't even be trusted with replacing spark plugs.
Oh come on. I think there are some maintenance tasks that I would be able to complete, even on a Koenigsegg. If you have to take it in for something as simple as changing a burned out lightbulb somewhere then the design is poor.
No, it's not poor design - it's intentional. It's something you buy into if you decide to buy one. If you don't like it, you gotta buy something else. If you want to get your McLaren 720S engine repaired, you go to a McLaren specialist. (Or you get the tools and void your warranty.)
You can change bulbs and shit like that. You can even change some filters without removing the complete engine cover. I want to say you can do an oil change without removing anything major. It's a couple of panels in the skid plate and you do it from under the car. There's a central panel that you can remove to get limited access to the engine bay to put more oil in.
You have to remove a giant chunk of the rear end to do anything major with the engine. That needs to be done properly or you'll fuck it all up and have to replace that giant piece of carbon fiber. Plus the engine is insanely complicated with crazy tech specs.
IIRC, the Veyron doesn't even want you changing your own oil.
I think a lot of that is due to greed, they are trying to squeeze every penny they can from their customers, and having all the repairs done by their shops helps that tremendously
Chris just left for Tennessee!
For good, or just to visit?
Until Monday.
For booze
