Code 199 has a good equipment and is maintained. Reselling? but most want to have given everything battles?? that would be worthwhile as good equipment and good technology or ready and put away or drive a new Mercedes fender I still have as well as a very good rear bumper and since my B Is there nothing in the way of a new varnish, but is it worth it?? Can you easily turn the engine to Euro 2, it is from 1989. or what would you do with it? Battles are too bad for me because these cars become less daily. Gruss Lars

  • 90002.3i CC and CS start-up problems

    Hello, I have a CC and a CS each, both from 1991 with a 2.3L engine without turbo and with automatic transmission. Both have the same problem: the cars jerk and crawl – if the cars have stood longer (in cold weather enough also over night), then they start in the morning with unround motor run and a start on “D” is only very slow and with interruptions possible, often the engine also dies off! In the reverse the phenomenon is by far not so pronounced After a few minutes the symptoms disappear. Then I can leave immediately after 3-4 hours of rest over the day without the phenomenon again. A “Saab-Fachwerksatt” already cost me 800€ for an unsuccessful troubleshooting! LMM, throttle valve and temperature sensor as well as petrol pump were tested, everything without finding out. Who can help?

  • Climate compressor is stuck

    Today, just before the driveway on the motorway, the engine went out together with strong smoke generation. As it turned out, the climate compressor has failed or is now fixed. It is a 96 model and there is a much smaller compressor installed than in my 97 BJ. Ok after 22 years it may fail. Even if I only had a climate maintenance done there three years ago. Now my questions to you. 1. How can I get the compressor for a Übergan If my wife is driving with it again, she doesn’t pay attention to it as I do. 2. What would you recommend, because I would like to have the air conditioning system used again: 3. I have stored a compressor of the 95er BJ here for several years, but I am not sure if it has not set itself in the meantime. 4. Is there a good address for an exchange compressor or is there otherwise a Possibility for a cost-effective exchange/maintenance?

  • “Saab newcomer” needs your help

    Hello together, my name is Chris and I have been driving a 94er 2,3 EcoTurbo (170hp) for about 2 years. Today I need your help. It’s my first Saab and my first turbo-vehicle (comes from the chrome-mercedes bearing) and I’m really fucked up, because there’s a lot different about the Swedes! 😉 Otherwise I really became a Saab fan in a very short time. But now to my problem: A few months ago the car started to jerk at exactly 3700 rpm. I didn’t remember so often, because I used to read about “Fuel-cut / too much charging pressure etc.”. I wanted to take care of this on occasion, but at some point the Saab ran again over 3700 and more! Since the day before yesterday I have the same phenomenon at 2000 rpm! Since this speed is reached fast, I thought first I had ignition problems and had suspected the ignition box (but my predecessor had changed some time ago). I have changed today I usually went under this speed. search to stay under 2000 and have always switched at 1900….and see, the car is driving quite normal and jerk-free. But this is not a condition, of course, just wanted to locate the source of the error here. What can I do now to solve this problem. A well-known (Kfz-Master) also wants to help me, but is not a proven Saab expert. I hope for targeted answers and look forward to your help. You have a nice evening (and don’t wait too long with the answers) , can’t always gurgle with my stick-ach in everyday traffic! ;-)) Greetings from Düsseldorf Chris

  • Request purchase advice for Renault Kangoo!

    Tach people, my father wants to buy a Kangoo and we inform ourselves now where and which model we should buy. The car seems to be really spacious, cheap and pretty confident. We are looking for a diesel. Question No.1: Which diesel engine has proven to be very good. We do not care about power, but more about durability and economy. Question No.2: Which type of equipment do you recommend? For us is mainly the air conditioning of importance. what extras should a Kangoo have? Question no.3: What do you know about re-import? What do you think of these re-import offers on this page http://www.car-connect.net/…/price list.asp?… Can you recommend certain dealers in the NRW area? That would be for the beginning. I ask anyone for help who can provide interesting information!!! Thank you!

  • Immediately available Born Sunday cars?

    The VW ID.3 and the Cupra Born fit well with my ideas. That’s why I went to the dealers before Christmas and informed myself. The Cupra employee said that the Born is only produced again in February and the demonstration cars come from the start-up production. I can well imagine that these cars have even smaller quality problems, which should then be fixed with the customer vehicles. However, I can already buy available models on Mobile.de. Are these dealers also demonstration cars? Does anyone know if you can hit this vehicle without hesitation? Or should I order? Then I have 6 months delivery time. Many greetings and thank you for your answers.

  • Formentor not regulated?

    Hello Together, as described above, I wonder if or at how much km/h the Formentor is locked off? Starting point of the question, my experience was yesterday on the AB. In advance to prevent various comments, I am not a racer. With the 7000 km driven to Dato I drove maybe three times around the 200. Yesterday in the morning on the AB and it was almost nothing going on. Then thought, look what goes on. The AB is slightly downhill and so I managed to get t Tacho 265 km/h and was g I don’t feel in the limiter yet. I stopped it with this speed then, because it got to me then nevertheless a bit mulmig. My old 140er. has raced into the limiter at 258. Now the question arises; is the tacho deviation so high, or is mine on stupidly not locked off at all. What does it look like with those who have tested it already before? Does not want to burn down a top speed topic here. I only care if the Formentors possibly have no limiter at all, or if very generously angels Egt is. I’m curious

  • Buying advice Cupra Leon or i30N DCT

    Moin together, I am currently facing the decision to purchase a new Leon Cupra 2.0 TSI with 245 hp as a Hatchback or an i30N performance with DCT. Both vehicles are new. The i30N costs me 35k and the Leon 36k. I can’t quite opt for one of the two. I drive about 70% in the city, 20% country road and 10% highway.In the year I drive max 10,000km. currently I drive a Polo GTI AW 2.0 from 2020. My thoughts: i30N + really fun to drive + great Exhaust sound and very flexible adjustable + spread between sporty and comfortable to configure in custom mode very well + 5 years warranty + Speaks to me visually very much + DCT works great and is not as “protective” as the VAG DSG – interior is OK, but no more – quite high fuel consumption (sampling averaged 14 L. At 110 on the highway with cruise control also almost 8 L) – slightly higher insurance costs and taxes Cupra Leon + Speaks me visually also outside se hr an + interior I find very nice, looks higher quality than the i30N + lower consumption values (estimates in everyday life about 3 L less on 100km than the i30N) + If it works, more extensive infotainment including wireless Apple Carplay + better sound system + slightly lower insurance costs and taxes – you still read of many software problems – looks quite stunned from the chassis – only 2 years warranty in the series ( 3 years / 50,000km connection guarantee approx 1000 EUR extr a) I’d be happy if you could just add your mustard to it….even if it’s not quite objective, depending on what you’re driving like that 😉 Maybe the one or you were already faced with a similar decision. Thank you! LG Sascha

  • Questions relating to the opinion

    Hello, had created an accident without fault, reports and the following came out: replacement value : 5700 € repair costs: 6500 € incl. VAT residual value: 1800 € incl. VAT evaluation: Total damage So now my question: ( evaluator sick,which is why he could not answer) If I had the vehicle repaired privately, how much would I get back from the insurance? Are these the whole 6500 € (because of130 % regulation) ? If I show no invoice, I get only the VAT deducted n? Thank you very much

  • Lupo GTI acceleration

    Hello I have been driving a Lupo GTI 6 gear with 125 hp (standard) for about 1 year. I have to say that I cannot explain the acceleration data from other contributions. The following tests were carried out. Audi A4 1.8T 150PS (8.3sec. 0-100) Audi A3 1.8T 150PS (8.2sec. 0-100) Mini Cooper S DigiTec 195PS (7.2sec 0-100) Porsche Boxter 220PS (7.3sec 0-100) Mercedes C320 (7.4sec 0-100) all factory specifications! Compared to the top cars, the Lupo Gti goes up to 80 better, from 80 onwards, the boxer pulls off. r away (OK also up to 80 one does not pull off the boxter, but it also does not come by), the mini goes only from 100 and the Audis go only up from 170 better. We better not talk about BMW, they are all together slowly at least at 80-100km/h, there look even the 325i/330d/525d/530d/525i/730i pale against it. I can only say that BMW should change the acceleration data in their brochures. So up to 80km the LUPO is the hammer and the whole with lavish 125hhhhhhs !!SUPER!! On the Aut obahn ab 120 is it already different, since you have to switch back, otherwise you can not even follow the 100 HP TDI fraction. Therefore I do not understand why so many in articles write the GTI is so good on the highway, of course it runs over 200, but that takes. As said up to 80/90 km/h 1 and 2 gear are the HAMMER!! Consumption cozy 6,8l normal 7,2l fast 8-9,5l What is your opinion?
