  • What kind of car do you want ??? 😎

    I would be interested if you would also like to drive other brands instead of FIAT ?? May it also be a brisk Opel Tigra, or a sleek Peugeot 206 ?? What prevents you from it at the moment, if not the price!

  • 900 SE Turbo

    Hello, I’m new here in the forum. My car CV: Beetle, Alfasud, Golf I, Scirocco, BMW 316, BMW 325e, BMW 535i, then service car SAAB 9-3 130 hp, SAAB 9-5 Kombi 150 hp, second car; SAAB 9000 Turbo S with 195 hp. No more service car: BMW 324 TD, BMW 320i The 9000 was a fun machine, but my account and my nerves were very strained. But just because it was so much fun, I forgave him a lot…. When it was no longer possible, I had to sell it hard in my heart, Now I want to give away. Now I against such a fun machine, because the account looks a little better again. However, the 9000 Turbo is only difficult to get or very expensive for the age or, the risk. There I noticed a SAAB 900 SE Turbo with 185 hp. Can someone please tell me if it is like the 9000 Turbo is much fun? How does the realistic Verbracuh, if you drive in itself rather land road 110 km/h and only leave the power out when overtaking ? Is there especially What about the durability of the gearbox, ignition cassette, turbo, engine control? It would be nice if you could give me some tips. Thanks for this! Kai

  • Alfa 156 SW + Question to the Papas

    Moin, my still ongoing search for a suitable car, I have now discovered a 156 sports car 1.6. The model is from 2001 and has run 90,000 KM. Since I have not been able to gain any Alfa experience so far, the question arises whether … 1. the car is recommended overall (stands at the Alfa dealer), especially in terms of mileage, because the car is supposed to run for a few years. 2. the sports car is family suitable. The Papas among you could become a transpor t of stroller etc contribute. I am curious… Greeting

  • 145 or 156 ??

    Hello, since my golf unfortunately makes me so slow, I thought about trying something different than VW. Can’t decide between the 145 and 156 unfortunately. From the course the 145 would be quite enough for me, however I wonder if I will be able to reach something more than 100 HP. What does your opinion mean for and what against the 145/156? Have read here already several times about torn timing belts with 156. What should I pay attention to when buying? Is there a special Bj. there should I avoid? Thank you very much.

  • Wrong fuel 🙁

    I have cleverly filled 2.5l Super in the 60l tank of my 156 SW JTD!!!. The petrol station Heinz explained to me that it doesn’t matter if you fill the tank with diesel. I did it and I drove 100 km without any problems. But now I am smarter and know that with newer turbo diesel no gasoline is tolerated at all – theoretically. How does it look practically, has anyone ever experienced something similar?

  • Timing belt change YES/NO?

    Hi dear community! We bought our RRS at the time at 175,000 km over a RR dealer. The car comes from first possession of a triple doctor and professor with a complete service booklet. The car looks like new today as at that time despite the 250,000 km. Apart from the service booklet there were still a stack of invoices to it. What we did not think of then is the timing belt because I thought that the RRS has a control chain. At the last service then asked me the friendly e if a timing belt has ever been changed here, since there is nothing registered in the service booklet. So my dealer called where I bought the car. He only said: With us the change costs with everything around the 4,000,- (working hour 180,-) for the reason many drive because the border to Germany nearby is to DE because there the works are supposed to cost about a third. Also the seller who is a regular customer and has bought a new RR, is to DE f He can’t confirm this in writing, but he can’t give me a phone number or an e-mail address for data protection reasons. However, he was so friendly to ask the seller by phone, he thinks he had the belt changed in DE, but unfortunately he has no more invoice for it. Now I was at 3 different RR dealers, and everyone thought he had been changed for sure because no RR 250,000 km managed without tearing. The Interv all is at 168.000km and there the timing belts are supposed to look like the friendly terrible, and you can’t imagine the 80,000km over it. I have already ordered all the parts for the change at lrdirect, but the installation is very expensive and expensive. If it turns out when the change is new, I get angry, but I tear it off even more. What do you think about it? Lg

  • Crack in the paint – what to do?

    Hello dear forum, since my idea of cars is limited to driving, I wanted to ask you for advice. I have for the first time a self-inflicted damage to the car. Stupidly this accident hit me 4 weeks after the purchase of my new Tucson and not before it with my ancient peugeot. Anyway, there was a smaller collision with an object where it broke the underrun protection. Due to the force is also a crack in the paint next to the daytime running light unscathed Now to my questions: 1) Does such a deep crack have to be painted and what happens if I have the crack repaired only slightly (must not be perfect). is there a risk of consequential damage such as rust etc.? 2) is only the damage itself painted or the whole area? I am concerned that one can recognize clear color differences to the newly painted area (color sand white) I was in 3 workshops, 2 of which want to paint the area and a advises to leave the crack so, since it will hardly be visible after the replacement of the plastic parts and lacquered areas always show color differences. As I said, it is about a new car (3000km). I look forward to your input. Thank you in advance for your advice many greetings

  • Hybrid charging cable Mercedes: Charging interruption by switching off the socket

    Hello, maybe someone has a tip for the following problem: We have a Mercedes C 350 E hybrid that we charge at home via the supplied charging cable (charging cable with a box for the 220V socket, supplied by Mercedes, manufacturer company Intertek). We now also have a new PV system that I want to use to charge the car. So that this only happens when solar power is available, the idea was to use a controlled switchable socket. I now have neulic h when it became dark and no solar power was available anymore was simply the charging cable on the mains side off the socket and experienced a nasty surprise the next morning. The control electronics in the car probably didn’t come along and the 12V vehicle battery was completely unloaded (there was nothing left!) because something still remained in operation. Now the question: Does anyone know a possibility how to get such an interruption of the charging process easily? Thanks in advance for eur e ideas on this.
