  • Wheels ! Size comparison and optical effect of the T27

    Rims! Sizes comparison and optical effect of the T27 Hello to everyone! I wanted to have some information about the optical effect on different rims on the T27. Have now a 7Jx17H2 rim on the Avensis with an ET 40 Wanted to convert now to an 8.0Jx18EH2+ ET45. Now the ET increases by 5 mm, right? Compared to the ET 40 the ET45 rim is 5 mm denser clean. At the same time the 18 inch rim is 25.4 mm wider than the 17 inch rim Accordingly the 18 inch rims should be Should Felge then be 20,4 mm further out than the 17 inch rim, right? Is that comparable to the 20 inch track plates on the 17 inch rim? I thank you for your help

  • Toyota Avensis T25 1.8 Petrol low mileage

    Hello, I would like your opinion on the following used car. Toyota Avensis T25 Limo petrol 1.8 l VVTI 4-stage automatic 11.000 km EZ 11/2006 (so model maintenance?) Very good condition inside and outside TÜV New First hand, it is a car that was bought by an older man but is almost never driven, now it is sold. Regularly maintained, car is fired every once in a while to drive it. He would like to have 7,000€ for it. It is the SOL Edition with onboard computer and aluminum rims. From the power it reaches me, I also like to drive the 4 step automatics. Where I would like to hear opinions 1. at the price, justified? 2. in a car that drives so little, what should I pay attention to when buying? Thank you for your opinions!

  • Avensis as an EU car ?

    I’ve been looking for a new car for 2 months. And it could be an avensis if I get a positive feedback here among connoisseurs. Currently, the prices for Avensis as a Euro car are unbeatable. Since we drive “only” about 10-12 Tkm per year, the decision this time was made on a 1.8 petrol with manual gearbox in the version “Premium”. My questions: 1. What is the 1.8 engine ? Does it often have any problems ? Are you generally satisfied with your avensis. Would you be it recommend ? 2. What disadvantages do I have when buying a Euro car (from Denmark). With which German version is “Premium” comparable? Would you be grateful for advice.

  • Prices and statements from theToyota dealership ?

    Hello, At our Avensis the alternator failed. When I looked at it and measured the voltage I noticed that it probably pushed oil out of the control cover. Anyway, the alternator is quite sloppy. At Toyota they suggested to me only to have the Lima replaced, because allegedly extremely many Toyotas, with this engine, have this error and that is quasi normal, so not bad. I unfortunately got a bit stunned, since the Lima just on What do you think about this statement from Toyota and how long will the new Lima be doing this? On the other hand, the replacement of the Lima is to cost 720€. The full program including the sealing of the tax cover and the new Lima is to cost 1600€. Are these prices ok? On the estimate there is a overhauled Lima for 435€ (without tax). I looked in the net once and saw the alternator for much less money. I have also seen in various forums that this should cost only 450-550€. However, the entries are partly quite old. About a few opinions, advice I would like to. Thank you

  • Crack in the engine block

    We recently decided on a Seat Arona Xcellence package, 1.6l, 95 hp, DSG, built in 6/2019, diesel, 70,800 km. Last Monday he was registered and gladly picked up at the dealer’s. We drove about 50 km home. In the evening I drove again a lap and also a piece on the highway. At the motorway exit then came the disillusionment, started in the lower speed range to Ruckeln and became unpleasantly loud as if he would not burn cleanly. and then came home well and immediately wrote an e-mail to my dealer. Tuesday morning came the call back and one suspects a loose injector (inspection, oil change and TÜV were new!). Car was picked up and a rental car was placed. Wednesday morning came the call, which would probably take longer. The engine block had a crack and it would be ordered a new engine. Since it would be available he would come this week. The installation is probably a bit time-intensive According to ErWin, the Arona has only been moved a few kilometers for almost a year. What do you think of it, the cause can be the long service life or there are problems with the engines in general. Had a Skoda Rapid 1.4 TDI DSG before and it was always very reliable as a 3 cylinder. Greetings from Regensburg wool

  • Navi and no end

    Good morning , In addition to the here already described “problems ” with the Navi I would like to attach here also again the following problem which I can not explain to me .. ( Arona , Built 2022 ) My daily way to work drove over city , BAB , federal road (well developed) Now the federal road is for at least 6 weeks fully closed! In the first week no report of the blocking in the Navi , standard route was proposed . Second week to today , sporadic display of the blocking , tägli A second possible redirection does not come at all via the Navi (more federal road, but even better developed than the standard route ) All systems are paid 🙂 and online is up to date. The “learning function ” of the Navi is activated. What can this be on ? Mfg Mathias

  • Towing coupling “ball head”

    Hello all, could it be that the “ball heads” (I don’t know the compartment expression) have different diameters? The clamping lever of my ATERA bike carrier went on the trailer coupling at our AtECA to clamp down to the stop. At the present ARONA, the clamping handle can only be pressed down half way. The bicycle carrier is sitting properly on the clutch, the safety marking is good to see. Does anyone have an explanation?

  • Seat Connect after the expiry of the free time “lose”

    moin, moin, the other day I got a message that my SEAT Connect subscription to the 25.01.2024 expires. Since I didn’t want to use the service any more anyway, I don’t see any added value for me and my movement-u. I don’t have to squander other data live, that’s no problem for me either. I would like to delete the account immediately and also the main user. But what happens after I have deleted the main user. Then I have to re-use the whole radio again. What benefit would a main user have without a SEAT Connect account? Who has done this and can report it? PS: the “advantages” of the Seat do not interest me, I don’t use the internal navigation either. I only signed up because I thought it was necessary to get a system update. That also worked and so far I used the infotainment auc h no longer had any problems. Thank you!

  • Voluntarily oil change after 1 year without BC request.

    My cars always got oil every year… No matter what the BC or the inspection magazine said. How does the Arona react, if I at ATU after 1 year only the oil change against new 0W20 crossover oil and that to the car not at all, say without Vcd’s entry into the electronic maintenance directory. So simply : Aktol away, new oil and filter on it, finished. (is this possible without Vcd’s intervention at all??) Theoretically, the car BC recognizes yes… “Oh I have new oil… Now I give it another 30,000k m…” Or how or what?… And : How do VW workshops react when they arrive after 30,000Km for inspection, but the first oil change has voluntarily done elsewhere after one year according to factory specifications (FOR the time indicated by the BC)?. Is there any experience?
