#AutoCentral: The ‘Parts’ Episode
11 October 2021
On this week’s #AutoCentral, SA’s No.1 motoring podcast, our anchor George Mienie and co-host Wandile Sishi look at car parts: why they cost as much as they do, and which cars have the least-expensive maintenance- and repair parts. Based on info found in the 2021 AA Spare Parts Pricing Guide, some of the winners in this guide may shatter pre-conceived notions about which manufacturers have the lowest parts prices.
Chad Lückhoff then joins the conversation to review the Volvo XC40 T4 – a new mid-level variant of this stylish premium compact SUV. Finally, the team answers your pressing motoring questions in our Ask AutoTrader segment. Today’s topics include the best way to dispose of a car that was written off in an accident, and whether the computers of petrol- and diesel engines are interchangeable.
