This 2016 Porsche Cayenne Turbo recently visited Kreskas Automotive for its scheduled service, along with an investigation into a suspension fault and an unusual noise.

Following a thorough inspection and diagnostic assessment, we identified two issues requiring attention.

Engine Torque Rod: The engine torque rod was found to be worn, which can contribute to excessive engine movement, vibrations and unwanted noises.

Front Air Suspension: The driver's side front air suspension strut was found to be leaking, potentially affecting the vehicle's ride height, comfort and suspension performance.

Quality Repairs Without Unnecessary Expense

Maintaining a European performance vehicle doesn't always mean paying the premium price for genuine replacement parts.

In some cases, air suspension repair kits allow us to replace the faulty air spring component rather than the entire strut assembly, potentially saving customers a significant amount in parts costs.

Quality aftermarket replacement components can also offer considerable savings compared to genuine manufacturer parts, without necessarily compromising on performance or reliability.

The suitability of these options depends on the condition of the existing components and the availability of quality replacement parts.

At Kreskas Automotive, our priority is to identify the cause of the problem and provide practical, cost effective repair options that deliver lasting results.

Whether it's routine servicing, complex diagnostics or suspension repairs, we are committed to keeping your European vehicle performing at its best.

BMW X5 B58 | Brembo & ATE Brake Upgrade

This BMW X5 equipped with the B58 engine recently came through the workshop for a brake refresh, receiving a set of Brembo disc rotors paired with ATE Ceramic brake pads.

For a premium daily-driven vehicle like the X5, the right brake combination is about more than just stopping performance. It also needs to provide good pedal feel, low noise and consistent performance in everyday driving.

We regularly recommend ATE Ceramic brake pads for customers looking for a high-quality street-focused option. Their low-dust formulation helps keep wheels noticeably cleaner compared with many conventional brake pads, while still providing smooth, quiet and predictable braking characteristics.

Paired with Brembo disc rotors, this setup provides an excellent combination of quality, reliability and everyday refinement — particularly well suited to European vehicles where maintaining factory-like braking characteristics is important.

Whether your BMW requires routine servicing, brake repairs, preventative maintenance or performance upgrades, we can help keep it performing the way it should.

Mercedes-AMG W204 C63 | Service & Inspection

This exceptionally well-kept W204 C63 AMG recently came through the workshop for its scheduled service and inspection.

With the W204 platform now becoming increasingly difficult to find in genuinely excellent condition, it’s always great to see an example like this that has clearly been cared for properly.

These cars have developed a strong following for good reason — the naturally aspirated 6.2L AMG V8, unmistakable exhaust note and old-school AMG character make the W204 C63 a very special car, and clean examples are only becoming more desirable as time goes on.

Regular servicing and preventative maintenance become even more important as these vehicles age. Our approach is to thoroughly inspect the vehicle, identify any developing concerns early and help owners maintain their cars to the highest possible standard.

Whether your C63 is a weekend car, daily driver or something you plan to keep long-term, we can help with servicing, maintenance, diagnostics and performance upgrades.

Toyota Cressida | 2JZ & Manual Swapped

This Toyota Cressida recently came through the workshop for a routine service along with a few minor upgrades.

Far from standard, this example has been 2JZ swapped and converted to manual, making it a great example of the modified and enthusiast vehicles we regularly work with.

When it comes to heavily modified cars, servicing isn't always as simple as following the original factory schedule. Engine conversions, transmission swaps, upgraded cooling systems, custom wiring, fuel systems and aftermarket components all need to be taken into consideration when maintaining the vehicle properly.

At Kreskas Automotive, we're happy to work with modified vehicles and understand that every build is different. Whether your project is already complete and simply needs ongoing servicing and maintenance, or you're looking to continue developing the car with further upgrades, repairs or improvements, we can help you work through the next stage of the build.

We take the time to understand what has been changed, how the vehicle is being used and what your future plans are, allowing us to provide practical recommendations rather than treating the car like a standard factory vehicle.

From regular maintenance through to helping continue an existing project, we're always happy to discuss your build.

Hyundai i20 N | Performance & Interior Upgrades

This Hyundai i20 N recently visited the workshop for a selection of carefully chosen upgrades designed to improve both performance feel and driver engagement.

We installed a Pipercross intake system, providing improved airflow and a more pronounced induction note under acceleration.

A Powerflex engine mount upgrade was also fitted to help reduce excessive engine movement, resulting in a more direct and responsive feel during acceleration and gear changes.

To complete the package, the vehicle received an Alcantara steering wheel, adding a premium motorsport-inspired finish while improving grip and feel behind the wheel.

These subtle but effective upgrades complement the i20 N exceptionally well, enhancing the overall driving experience without compromising its usability as a daily vehicle.

This 2015 Nissan GT-R came to us with a common problem faced by owners of lowered performance vehicles difficulty getting over speed bumps, steep driveways and other everyday obstacles without risking damage to the front of the car.

Rather than raising the vehicle and compromising the stance the owner wanted, we provided a more practical solution by fitting a set of BC Racing coilovers together with a Stanceparts Air Cup Lift System.

The Stance air cups work in conjunction with the coilovers and allow the vehicle to be temporarily raised when extra clearance is required. At the push of a button, the system can provide up to approximately 50mm of additional lift, making steep driveways and speed bumps much easier to negotiate. Once the obstacle has been cleared, the vehicle can be returned to its normal ride height.

Paired with the BC coilovers, this setup allows the GT-R to retain the lower ride height and performance-focused suspension the owner wanted, while adding a level of practicality that makes the car far easier to use on the road.

Modified vehicles often require solutions that go beyond standard servicing and repairs. Whether it is suspension setup, performance upgrades, exhaust modifications or diagnosing issues on an already modified vehicle, we can help assess the car properly and recommend a solution that suits how you actually use it.

This 1984 BMW 323i came to us with an owner who was looking for clear, practical advice on how to best maintain and preserve the vehicle.

We started with an oil service and a comprehensive mechanical inspection to establish a clear picture of the car’s overall condition. From there, we were able to identify the items that required urgent attention, separate them from the less critical repairs, and work through the recommended maintenance in a sensible order.

Older vehicles often require a different approach to modern cars. Age-related wear, deteriorated rubber components, ageing cooling and fuel systems, electrical issues and previous repairs can all play a part in how reliably a classic vehicle performs.

Our focus is to provide sound advice and a realistic maintenance plan rather than simply replacing parts unnecessarily. By inspecting the vehicle thoroughly and prioritising repairs, we can help owners maintain their classic cars properly while also planning for future work.

Whether your classic is a weekend car, a long-term project or something you regularly enjoy driving, we can assist with servicing, inspections, repairs and ongoing maintenance advice to help keep it performing as it should.

This Stage 2 2015 Volkswagen Golf R came to us with a significant loss of power.

The customer chose to bring the vehicle to us after being advised by the dealership that the car would first need to be returned to factory software before diagnosis could begin.

During our initial testing, we found that the electronic turbocharger actuator had failed. Rather than removing the turbocharger, we were able to replace and correctly calibrate the actuator with the turbo still fitted to the engine.

Once reassembled, the Golf R was producing power again and initially appeared to be repaired. However, during further testing the vehicle would suddenly cut power under load.

Using live diagnostic data, we could see the ECU was requesting approximately 5–7 bar of low-pressure fuel supply, but actual fuel pressure was only reaching around 1.4 bar.

Further investigation led us to remove the low-pressure fuel rail and fuel line from the pump. We found that the internal lining of a deteriorated rubber fuel hose had begun breaking down, filling the fuel system with debris and restricting fuel supply.

The injectors and fuel rail were removed and cleaned, the contaminated fuel system was cleared, and the perished hose was replaced.

With everything reassembled and tested, full power was restored.

As performance vehicles get older, faults are not always caused by the obvious components. Age-related deterioration can create unusual problems, making accurate diagnosis and live data testing extremely important before replacing parts unnecessarily.

14/09/2026

This 2022 Hyundai Kona N is back in the workshop for a few carefully selected modifications aimed at improving exhaust note, drivetrain response and everyday usability.

XFORCE Resonator Delete
We are installing an XFORCE resonator delete to give the Kona N a deeper and more pronounced exhaust note, bringing the sound closer to the character of the i30 N while retaining the factory exhaust system and valve operation.

Powerflex Lower Torque Mount Bushes
The factory lower torque mount allows a degree of engine movement under acceleration. The Powerflex bushes help reduce this movement, resulting in a more direct drivetrain feel, improved throttle response and sharper gear changes.

Genuine Hyundai Wind Deflectors
We are also fitting genuine Hyundai wind deflectors for a clean factory appearance. They help reduce wind buffeting with the windows slightly open and provide added protection from light rain.

A well-balanced set of upgrades that improves the sound, feel and practicality of an already capable performance SUV.
