  • Find advice. Let the insurance cover damage or 300€ cash? (With pictures of the damage)

    Hello guys, a young girl went to my Skoda practice in 2007 when she parked and got the police. I loved her very much, so I suggested to her that she do it without the insurance, so she won’t be upgraded. I offered her 500€, she offers 300€ otherwise she would like to do it through the insurance. What would you do in my place? A paintmaker I know well says I should charge 800€ otherwise about the insurance. I found that too much, so I find 500€ in order. Here you see the pictures of the damage, the door is scratched and closed. Thank you in advance for your advice! VG Lucky Luke

  • Survey: Monitor in the car

    For the first time with the XC60, VOLVO has installed a dashboard, where the monitor for the RTI no longer sits “on” the dashboard, but becomes a quasi integral component. As discussed in various threads, the path can now split: – continue as before, strict separation audio, RTI and heating control (and everything you could still display) the design in the XC60 is an error OR – in the future, as started in the XC60, one retains the separation RTI and the rest of the vehicle electric motor and lives with the “hole”, if you don’t have RTI OR – if it is true: as usual with other brands, VOLVO should also install a monitor in the future, where different information will be displayed without RTI would be interested in your opinion. I run the survey for 26 days, i.e. until 19.10.08

  • Watch videos at the front too

    Is there a way of having the image displayed in the middle of the main screen, e.g. via HDMI connection in the rear? But TV Tuner is not installed, would like to realize this via FireTV Stick or GoogleChrome. So far I could not find anything in the front menu to access the back of the mini HDMI connection. Is there a simple solution?

  • Tires loses air – mobility guarantee?

    Hello, I now had the second time pressure loss on the front right, only 0.3 less than the other 3 tires, now only 1.3 residual pressure. After filling it now stops for a day, but I have a bad feeling. 2 questions about it: 1. How do you find out what it is? When the valve slips, you don’t notice anything, running surface has no visible damage or foreign body, rim has not been damaged either. I’m afraid I’m just afraid if I want a new valve or a new tire. 2. If such a loss of pressure falls under the mobility guarantee? Then I’m not even allowed to drive to the workshop, because if I’m standing on the workshop yard, the mobility guarantee won’t work.

  • You want Subaru to put everything on one card?

    Subaru’s production capacity is fully exploited, you have a profit margin of incredible 9% and CUVs and SUVs sell like sliced bread. What now? Expand production capacities, develop new models, or continue as before: As a small niche manufacturer?http://www.bloomberg.com/…rowing-carmakers-decide-to-stay-small- Lieb Gruß Oli

  • Subaru Forester Diesel change due to problems with DPF

    For more than 1 year I leased the new Forester Diesel. My annual driving performance is about 35 tkm in mixed operation. The problem is that the PDF – except for regular motorway rides. I was 8-10 times in the workshop to have the filter regenerated there and 1 x the filter was changed already. Usually this regeneration was done by the way without written proof, only over 3 to 4 processes I have something in my hands. The general problem In the case of Subaru, it is not possible to interrupt a process of regeneration (which has to cover a distance of about 15 km). I have contacted the manufacturer’s technical customer service directly on this subject and also the problems on my vehicle. I was very arrogantly met there. Next Thursday the responsible technical area manager comes and wants to check my car. I have already communicated in writing that this is the last Chanc e is to put the car in a state suitable for everyday use. Has someone tips on the further procedure, especially on the topic of change

  • Are there really differences between fuel brands?

    Hello together. Either I only imagine this, or there are actually noticeable differences between the fuel brands at least in terms of acceleration. I drive for 15 years and about 140tkm a BMW 316I Coupe me lean 102 ps, so from the beginning no acceleration miracle. Either my popometer fools me or I notice noticeable differences between the two petrol stations Jet and Shell. I mostly refuel on the jet and sometimes on Shell, but my BMW comes to me like this. soon I will fill up the Super E5 at the shell I imagine that my BMW looks much more sparkling. Is there any point in that?
