  • TDi engines: Run turbo?

    Should one actually let a TDi run after the end of the journey for a moment to avoid a heat build-up in the turbocharger?

  • Opel Vectra B vs. Mercedes-Benz 200 or 230? Some questions

    Hello together. I have now been driving my driver’s license since a Jar and up to long a Opel Vectra B with 75 ps and 1.6 liters displacement. I have now also bought the money together to buy a beautiful Mercedes of the w124 series from the 90s. about 130ps And while there are some questions to ask me: Should I rather get the 200 with 2 liters or the 230 with 2.3 liters displacement? Do you notice at 0.3 liters displacement a difference? Does the 230 consume much more petrol? How about the Le And what’s the most important thing: can you get one with a good kilometer on the clock (200,000) or should it have as little as possible? Do you remember the Opel and the Mercedes a regular tie? (Generally because he has a quite high own weight.In addition, I have driven the Opel so far) I hope I am right in this section of the forum.It has been best past I thank you for every useful answer Greeting Th eDragonAlpha

  • Pick up used cars only a few days after payment?

    Hello guys, I looked at a car this week which I like very much, I have already signed a purchase agreement with the dealer. Paying I do in bar but only next week. The problem is, I get the paper etc. only after I have given the money to the dealer in bar. That means the car has to stand still at the dealer until I have it logged in and have my number plate. Since the dealer lives a little further away it has to go so unfortunately, red number plates want I don’t get the price for the fuel to go there is cheaper than to make the circus with the number plates now. Now to my real question. If I have the purchase contract, car papers etc and the car and pick up later, but the dealer suddenly says “never sold” or anything else turns crooked, he can then somehow win in court or…? just worry me a little, because the car is still a few days after the payment with him until I have just registered it and have the number plates. Greetings, Elephantoz

  • Buy a car, low budget

    Hello people, stand, due to a move to the country, close before buying my first car. The problem is that I have no idea of cars myself. Driving itself is no problem. But as far as the assessment is concerned, my knowledge is limited to 1 month reading on the Internet. In that month I have already selected a few models and would simply present them. I am grateful for any recommendations, opinions, etc.. However, according to the rules of the forum I follow first of all the check list: 1. Due to my budget it will probably be a small car, but does not necessarily have to be. Since I am poor, the car should be as sprite-saving as possible. 2. My budget is 1000-1500 Euro. Possibly 1600-1700 upper limit. 3. Driving performance about 20000 – 25000 KM per year, several times weekly journeys of 100+ KM. I find the following models interesting: Suzuki Alto, Hyundai Getz, Fiat Punto, Nissan Micra, Ford Fiesta, Opel Corsa (etc.) http://suchen.mobile.de/…/details.html?…http://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/…/387792916-216-3847http://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/…/387718438-216-2932http://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/…/387229078-216-3405http://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/…/387143094-216-3589 I would upload more soon. As I have no plan, things like HU, check booklet, invoices, etc. are important to me. Do you have any recommendations?

  • How much money would you spend on a car?

    Hello, this is my first post, because I just want to have an opinion from outside the family and friends circle. The “problem” I’m standing before at first doesn’t sound like one at all, because I found my dream car. Was already at the dealer’s, I already drove rehearsal and I just went back and forth. A car like this has always been a big dream since I was little, I can’t think of anything else since the test drive Thinking this has certainly already been experienced by many . The catch on the thing, the car would cost quite exactly 1.1 gross annual salaries. So of course you think if you want to spend so much. Of course I would have to finance it, because I don’t have so much money. 30% I could pay, the rest I would finance over 36 months plus the end rate. I would just like to know how you do it so or if you all think it’s crazy. I’m just a big car friend, I love cars of all kinds, i love all kind of cars, i love all of them. And I’m just so insecure. On the one hand, I think people only live once, why should I put all my money on the side and wait until it eats inflation or what happens in Europe the next few years. On the other hand, all this would be too expensive for me.

  • Cigarettes ten times worse than modern diesel engines

    Air Pollution: Cigarettes Ten times worse than modern diesel engines Researchers from the Cancer Institute in Milan have discovered in an experiment that cigarette smoke pollutes the air ten times as badly as the exhaust gases of a modern diesel engine. The researchers started the experiment in the Italian Alps because there is very little fine dust in the air. In a garage a diesel engine was first run for 30 minutes and then three cars were burned. The evaluation of the results showed that the concentration of particulate matter in the smoke of cigarettes was ten times higher than in the diesel engine. Since cigarette smoke is very short-lived, it is mainly a pity for the closer environment, the researchers explained.

  • Possibilities of burglary

    I hope to pick up something completely new with this thread. The thoughts that I’m going to take over on it because of new radio, Tft etc. How easy can you get into the A3? When I return to my Polo 6N back then, they were quite firmly in there, you need – did the policeman say – just press the lock in the right direction with a wrench then the door jumps up. At my Peugeot 206 Tendance they have the so-called Rus right in front of my front door. I hope that the lock on the A3 won’t work, and maybe the doors are a little more stable? How are your experiences? And before someone thinks in the wrong direction, I don’t want to open an A3 so I don’t want to open a detailed public route, but I want the opposite. Pepe

  • TDI: cracked piston normal????

    Hello, I’m not sure if the topic fits in here or not; if not, the moderators will be happy to postpone it. Now to the problem: a colleague of mine is a workshop master in a VW/Audi workshop and has recently seen some TDI engines with cracked pistons; what should be known is a capital engine damage. The problem so far occurred with 1.9 TDI models and the 2.5l V6 models (180 hp) (always Audi models; therefore the question here and not in the VW compartment) How it makes itself noticeable: no performance; foaming of the oil (since gas pressure escapes into the crankcase etc. etc.) Also bad: many workshops find the error only after expensive exchange of other parts what the repair for the owners still considerably more expensive!! Now my question since it is not so knowledgeable with the PC: is it a coincidence that especially at the workshop of my colleague the piston cracks in driving performances pile up by 150,000 km or is there often?? No discussion whether the TDIs are stable or not; I just want to know if something like this is more common and if other people/drivers/workshop employees are also known!
