  • Day-time running light as driving light

    For some time now, I have always been attracted to the people, especially BMW and Audi, with daytime driving lights in the form of LED tapes or “so-called Angeleyes” groping through the NIGHT or DEMMERUNG. That’s crazy, why do people do such a thing???

  • Vehicle location online via GPS

    Hello. I found this on the website of mobilforum-dresden.de on the topic of car theft protection. It is in my opinion something that is in the coming. The Saab dealer has equipped his demonstration and workshop Kfz with boxes of the company YellowFox. With these he can track the travelled routes of his vehicles via GPS via online portal. But read for yourself: test drives belong to the service of serious car houses. Of course also in the company mobilforum Dresden, that the brands Saab, Cadillac, Corvette and Hummer offer. After all, the careful customer compares very accurately when buying high-quality vehicles. Last Friday, the managing director of mobilforum Dresden and Jürgen B. agreed a test drive with the Saab 9- 3 sports combi model. Sales value of the new car: 46,500 euros. Mr. B. left a credible impression: well dressed he presented himself as the branch manager of a Bavarian call center, who used the car as a business vehicle. The documents were obviously in order, the Saab fully fuelled. The procedure provided 100km of driving performance within 2 hours. Everything was quite normal. When the agreed return date exceeded 2.5h hours and Mr. B. could not be reached by telephone, the management informed the police. And not only the: at the same time the GF telephoned with its service provider, the YellowFox GmbH. This Saxon company with headquarters in Kesselsdorf offers medium-sized companies like the mobilforum Dresden hardware and software for satellite-based vehicle location with permanent access via the Internet. The mobilforum had provided: due to the accumulation of “test drives into nowhere” (3x in the past half-year), YellowFox installed a small P-box in each of its demonstration, test and workshop vehicles, which can be located at any time by means of GPS and is displayed in the YellowFox tracking portal. The police made the work enormously easier: together they were The Saab moved from Leipzig to Markkleeberg, from there to Chemnitz and back to Dresden. The two managing directors in the mobilforum now stopped nothing in the office. They took up the persecution. Another employee remained on the PC, kept a close eye on the stolen vehicle and gave his boss instructions through the telephone. Cross and cross it through Saxony until B. headed for an address in Dresden. He definitely did not want to bring back the vehicle. The driving performance was more than 500km. Thanks to the online location everything was documented. When B. stopped the vehicle and got out a little later, he stared at the eyes of the police astonished. The local police confirmed that the Saab 9- 3 would not have been found so quickly without the Yellowfox vehicle location.

  • Roller rappels while driving

    Moin, I have a question and I have driven with my scooter Keeway Hurricane a longer distance of 37 km and have already noticed on the way back that sometimes slows down to 30kmh, and then also no longer pulls after a longer time the first pulls back to 50 km/h. Then on the way back I was mountain down at good 60 km/h and then catch up once on my scooter to Rappeln the feeling is very hard to describe how it was exactly. Then wanted to go right and then to go auen but the rear brake had a counterpressure and speed did not go down while braking, first with the front brake it then worked and at that time my speedo light also went out maybe it has a connection.

  • Car corso and rest disorder…

    Good evening together, Germany is in the quarter finale. Of course, I’m happy for it. Only I would like to go to bed now and sleep in peace (at 4.30 am we go back to work). Instead, bring me back until about 2.00 am (that’s known) horny cars and grumpy, drunk fans to sleep. Here I can remember the § 30 of the STVO. Too bad that the race management doesn’t get through harder here and finally keeps a few driving licenses. Instead, I will be back again. This is a very important aspect of the Commission’s proposal, and I would like to thank the Commissioner for his reply.

  • Family car (2+2) to 30T€

    Hello all, I’m looking for a family car, and am currently swinging between 3.5 models: – BMW GrandTourer 218d/220xd or even without “x” – Skoda Kodiaq 4×4 tdi 150/190ps – Kia Sorento from 2016. – half the Nissan X-Trail 2.0 dci automatic. Half, because of the CVT transmission I’m not particularly convinced of. Surely the questions, why SUV… habit/comfort to sit higher and save a lot on the back when the children have to be tied in the seat?! and I have already driven a lot, from Espace, Alhambra, to Land Rover, Mecedes, Volvo… but I think between the above mentioned 3 it should be. Driving profile: Max. 20Tkm a year, city/long distance (also 3000km) 50:50, woman also has to be able to drive and park easily Ah yes, the Peugeot 5008 we drove well, in itself an interesting car… only I would have had a Frenchman and with that only electronic problems. What do you mean? Thanks for your Help, experience and advice.

  • Formulation Purchase contract if damage before handover

    Hello, In case of a used car purchase should lie between contract and handover 3 weeks. Is there a common formulation to treat a damage case here from the seller? So zb with repair, or equally general option of the buyer on resignation? Then the car should also be declared before as accident and above all paint damage freely? Greeting

  • The residual value is way too low.

    My car has suffered a total damage according to the opposing insurance. Mine says something completely different. A counter-assessment was made. My expert opinion: Value of the car: 3300, Damage 2100 incl. VAT. According to the counter-assessment: Restitution value: 2000 and residual value: 230 and repair costs 2700 incl. VAT Where did the extreme difference come from? How exactly does the equivalent insurance want to proceed? The residual value is ridiculous, I have seen damaged cars in I-net for 140€. If I have to sell the car for 230€? Or does it matter, do I have to show it what? A question remains, does the insurance have saved money with it or is that hardly a difference for the insurance? In addition, there is 16 days of use compensation. the insurance then pays more than before, since VAT is deducted?! Or did I not understand anything?!

  • Warranty loss and other disadvantages because repair is not available in brand workshop

    Hello … I have to have my new car (as usual 2 years new car warranty) Kaskoversafen and there the insurance offers to have the car repaired in case of damage in a Wekstatt selected by her, if you want this (of course you get also for this percentage on the cash insurance). 1.) Is it useful to do this (from the money of course first of all yes) but what could result for disadvantages (e.g. in case of damage warranty loss, if the car not in d he has been repaired) o.Ä….
