  • Climate SL 280 R 129

    Hello, at my SL BJ 1997 the climate stopped during the ride. So air conditioning was cool and cooled. At some point I thought “but damn warm here” and looked at the system. There was the lamp in the EC switch on. I pressed, and nothing happened. Even after longer waiting time or days later always the same effect. EC lamp on and climate does not cool. Does anyone have a advice or tip or should I drive directly to the friendly MB? gamby

  • Shock on Saturday SL R230/II won’t be a racer!

    Last Saturday all the larger Mercedes dealers saw the new SL convertible. What a shock! The front is so strange that I canceled my “fast order”. Seller said, you get used to it. But 2010/2011 should come the real successor. After Facelift 2006, now Facelift II. Who is waiting or who is convinced of the new Facelift. I am right over to the Porsche dealer and will order 911, you can never do something wrong. ns if one of the SL designers in Bremen or Stuttgart reads with us here. 2 emergency seats like the 911 and many other sports cars or old SLs would do the new SL good in 2-3 years, because the rear shelf is now nothing half and nothing whole. The children want in there, but are not allowed and do not understand …

  • Rear lights: red vs black lassed

    So people, I used the TT meeting on Saturday in Ulm and now finally comes the long-awaited and promised light test for the comparison of normal and black lassed taillights. DO NOT discuss again which hollow-headed special students are so gaga and build up these lights!!! This is a technology forum and not a children’s playground. Opinions are in demand, but remain factual, otherwise “closed” as in the other thread. So back to the topic. First of all, an image with the light on it:

  • Door handle shells Mondeo

    Hello! I had to find out that at my Mondeo tournament (Bj 2003) on the front inner door handles the paint is peeling off. My first thought was: scratched by the previous owner and painted over! The car had only 1 previous owner and only 15000 down when I bought it! My workshop told me that this is a disease with the new models and is also known. In the course of the extended warranty Ford would cover 30€/part and 30% of the installation costs…! Door!! Has someone gained experience and is it cheaper? Greeting Ben

  • Durability of the Mondeo engines

    Hello! After having informed me about a car up to 3000 euros at the used car portals, I often came across Mondeos Built 94-95. What about the durability of the engines beyond 135,000 KM in general? Would it be advisable to look for a 2.5 V6 (6-cylinders last longer?!) or are the 4-cylinder 115 and 136 hp in general also durable? Thank you for your help! Greeting Manuel

  • Mondeo SCI at very low speed

    I read here that the SCI (also in the 6th gear???) with very low speeds (from approx. 1,250) can be easily driven and practice this without any problems. This means switching down if I want to speed up faster in the 6th gear at 60 KM/h, but is very fuel-saving. Now an acquaintance told me that this means too heavy a load on the crankshaft and is very harmful. Can anyone say anything about this? Thank you in advance!

  • Climate control / automatic climate control

    @ everyone is familiar with the climate automatics of the current Mondeos. The A/C button in the climatetronics gets me a bit confused. If I’m in car mode, then depending on whether it’s warm or cold outside is made by cooling or heating that my chosen temp. in the interior is reached. Is the right thing? What kind of function does the A/C button have? Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything in the forum – just in case, that there is already something to say- Greeting

  • 12V coffee machine only when the engine is switched off?

    Hello, have just bought me a 12V coffee machine for the Mondeo and now read in the user manual that you should use it only when the engine is switched off. Now my question, is there a danger for the device when the engine is running and can it be eliminated by a simple electronic component? The reason for my question is that my battery is already loaded enough due to mainly short distance driving and I do not know if it also has a coffee machine. thanks and greetings

  • In case of delay in delivery no more mobile storage credit of 675,- € net?

    Hello, to the background: I ordered in 04/2021 a Formentor Hybrid and a Leon VZ310 as leasing. Non-binding delivery date for Formentor was 10/2021. Non-binding delivery date for Leon was 12/2021 The Formentor was then delivered 02/2022. The Leon was now delivered after 15 months 07/2022. Since the delivery date was not met, I would have had the possibility to get a rental vehicle for 30 days or a credit of 675,- € net. I ha Since Leon was still waiting for him, I was also confirmed here (written!) that I would get the credit for Leon as well. Now the Leon is here and I wanted my credit, now it was said that Cupra has changed the mobile maintenance support due to the considerable delivery problems and here only the costs of a car rental are taken over proportionally and also only with the customers who do not have any e have further leasing contracts! Of course, I don’t take it that easy anyway, only in writing confirm that the customer will stay calm and wait until the vehicle arrives at some point and then after receipt of the vehicle to say “Sorry, you have the car now, but there is no credit anymore”. Dreister is actually no longer possible. But that doesn’t matter, I will clarify that already. What I want to say:Has from you also the mobile keeping credit beko Do you still want to get them? Or did someone get new information from their salesman on this topic? Thank you in advance.

  • Real fuel consumption Seat Ateca through own experiences

    Hello, I’m new here and unfortunately I haven’t found anything on this topic of real consumption yet. I’m close to buying an Atecas. However, I would like to know from you what consumption values you can achieve yourself with your purchased Atecas. I drive about 20000 km a year. Actually it would have to be a diesel. In this case probably the 2.0 TDI DSG 7-speed automatic with 150 hp. On the other hand, I would be away from the Diesel Inde m case of the gasoline engine 1.4 Eco TSI DSG-7-speed automatic with 150 hp. (my favorite) Some tests say that this gasoline engine consumes on average 6.8 l. The dealer himself speaks of rather 8 liters. That would be still good. But I can’t quite believe it. Please put in your real experiences here. Consumption downtown / consumption highway / consumption on average. Also gladly from the diesel engines. Thank you. Ischa
