  • erWin service entry yourself

    Good evening, I am currently unsure what to do exactly. I bought an A5, EZ 09/23 a few weeks ago. A service was carried out here before delivery (no hander/workshop from the VAG Group) However, this service is refused to enter into the Digital Service Edition, which, to my knowledge, should be possible via the Audi erWin Portal. I am only told over and over again that they cannot and only Audi can do this. Even an Audi employee has already confirmed to me that this is not true and that other workshops/dealers can also make these registrations. However, since I would have liked to register the service already in the digital service booklet I wanted to do it myself. As far as I know, I have to register as a company customer for this. For me, however, the question now arises, what exactly should I enter here. Is this checked in some way or another? can I simply enter my name etc. in “Company”? Has someone already done this here and can help me there? LG Jonas

  • SL R129 Lock cylinder Ignition lock ticks how to swap?

    Hello, we bought a SL R129 280 built in 1994 last week. When we bought it, it was clear to us that we had to change the cylinder in the ignition lock immediately. And as long as it could still be turned I would like to do it. I have been driving a W 124 here for more than 10 years. The exchange takes only a few seconds with the right tool. Position one exactly to the point then with my processed bicycle spokes and swups is this outside. Well h I’ve been looking for the R129 in the net for a long time. There are way too many things.. somehow got completely confused.That would be so easy for the year of construction. Can someone please help me? Is the procedure like the W 124 it? Or do I have to do something else to set up and install the cylinder!? Is there a guide for this? I already have a new cylinder. Thank you for your help.

  • Ford Mustang gt 2015 or Mercedes

  • replaceable rear lights ?

    Hello together, I play with the idea of possibly getting a Ford Mustang VI V8. Is that recommended? Does it seem to be a really cool car. I heard that you can’t change the rear lights at all because the LEDs are broken. Does that mean that I have to buy a new rear light every time? The front lights should all be replaceable. Is there anything else you should consider before buying (except the slightly higher) consumption? Has jeman d heard when this will be fixed with the “flattening” bonnet. FORD shared with me from 3 months with “we are working on it” (what that means) Would be nice if you could share your experiences with me. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do a test drive yet, as there are hardly any demonstration cars at the Ford dealers (but I started via FORD and wait for an answer now).

  • Purchase advice Ford Mustang 3.7 V6 2014

    Hello dear community, I need your help I’m looking for a new everyday car with a little bit of strength under the hood and an eye-catcher he should be too. Found me the Ford Mustang 3.7 V6 very attracted me. I find the Mega. After a few hours looking around and researching info I found out and often read that he did not consume as much as expected. I have often read from 9 liter kombi to 12.7 liter kombi n. and of the everyday suitability that he adapts to every driving style no matter whether city highway or country roads. jzt to my question what can you give me so from infos is that with the consumption ? is the everyday suitable? and if I get it then with lpg plant or not ?! and what is the “shaker” which stands with some or “stabis” or reinforced cardan wave I have already read ? there are ed differences between build year 2012 to 2014 ? or 2013 to 2014 ? how does it look with service from ? what are there for costs? and etws very important still for me because I live “unfortunately” in Austria and I have to pay import tax because of the exhaust gases, I need to know how much Co2 emissions in grams which gives out because I could find this nowhere? Please help me and please leave this with the why ned immediately a V8 I find 300 ps are for me no more I do not need and I do not want to. Thanks in advance

  • Discovery 4: What to consider when buying/sampling?

    Dear forum, we are about to buy our first Land Rover and will soon be adding a used Discovery 4 HSE SDV6 diesel from the MY16. We will therefore be looking at 2-3 cars at different dealers in the next few days. Do you have any tips for me what we should take care of during the test drive or when inspecting this model? Maybe we can better recognize certain LR or Discovery specific defects. I would be very grateful to you for every tip! Thank you!

  • New Defender “Service & Adventure Pass”

    Hello together, when last September a nice Defender advertisement fluttered into the house, I thought of something banal. Then I read something about free vehicle maintenance and an Adventure Pass. Mistrustfully read the text at least 2x, but actually… Now I would be interested if someone knows which years of construction – by the Defender 😉 – are “affected” by this gift and whether someone has already taken advantage of or scheduled something despite the Sauwetter. I am curious 🙂 Chr istian

  • Retrofitting a beverage cooler in the middle armrest

  • LEXUS: future models

    Good afternoon, with an interesting article about future model introductions at Lexus. Even if the article refers to the Australian market, you will find broad information about what some of us also expect in Euopa:http://www1.autotrader.com.au/…/59D124ADF8528A6CCA2572C90016B851 Who doesn’t want to read the whole article: LS600Lh – October 2007 (right name: LS600h and LS600h L) LX570 – January 2008 (not in Europe) IS500 – First helped 2008 RX MkIII – Second help 2008 LF-A supercar – 2008 GS facelift/GS460 – 2008 SC facelift/SC460 – 2008 JX compact SUV – 2009 (IS Crossover – small RX ?) IS Coupe-Convertible – Late 2009/early 2010 IS hatch – 2011 (sometimes also called BS ?) GS MkIV – 2012 IS MkIII – 2012 The question whether the GS350 (AWD and RWD) are also offered in Europe and, for example, replace the GS300 remains unexplained. What seems to be confirmed, however, is the conversion of the V8 to the new 4.6l at the GS430 – as it was expected. Gruss , Lex P.S: Mk = Mark (model generation): motorization(s) unknown

  • IS 220d

    Hello Lexus municipality, after 30 years Opel, I get on an IS 220d next week, I am a little skeptical already, because of the space offered it is small, and the driving comfort ??? I had the Toyo exchanged for Bridgestone, I hope a good decision. Has someone with it experience. Consumption, let me be surprised. Is there experience with organic diesel?? Lexus says no, but I don’t think that is so relevant, because they secure themselves to all sides. sse can I drive??? What about a Power Box?? Experience values??? Thank you in advance, omega7 If everything fits, I change the name
