  • How long do your brake blocks last and what do you pay for a change?

    Hello, I used my Mini Cooper D with 15,000 KM (Mini Drive Now) from a BMW dealer, beí 24,000 KM had to be replaced all around the blocks, for which I paid a dealer 628 €, incl. sensors and antiquitschpaste. now I drove with it 48,000 KM (75 percent highway, max directional speed) and on the way to work came the hint: “Precautionally driving, brake pads change” I do not know, of course, if now also the B I’m just interested in how often you have to change (blocks / disks) and what you have to pay for it, I’ll get back to you when the work is done and I know what was done and how expensive it was.

  • E 320 (V 6 petrol) Oil level increases minimally

    Hello forum, I have a question: With my E 320 T V 6 (i.e. petrol engine) with approx. 191 000 km from ́01 it seems to me that the oil level will increase minimally in very small quantities. At perhaps 14 000 km approx. one and a half to two millimeters (not centimetres). The vehicle does not consume any coolant, smokes and steams out of the exhaust, runs very well, does not need a bit of oil. I drive about 20 % city, otherwise only on long distances AB and highway (approx. 200 to 500 km with bet still the oil smells a little bit like gasoline, but it actually has it quite easily with all my cars, even if I drove in the year 40 and 50 tkm. Are the injection nozzles leaking very easily, or is the oil level only now in the summer (would be an explanation for me) higher by considerably higher oil temperatures (even at 30 degrees and sharper driving) than in the winter or do I just worry too much? The next Assyst B would be in 2100 km. I look forward to your answers! Many greetings Daniel

  • Audi/Volkswagen Variocredit Experiences?

    Hello everyone, because of an accident one of our vehicles is unfortunately a total damage. For this we would need a reasonably quick replacement. Therefore the friendly Audi dealer calculated us an offer for an A6 demonstration car. Since the Audi leasing for “used vehicles” was not so sparkling, he created an offer about the so-called VarioCredit.https://www.audibank.de/…/auf_eine_blick.html The offer that was created for us is very “leasing-like”. In my opinion, it is too high a final rate. In other words, I personally would not assume that the estimated price can be realised on the market in three years’ time. Now Variocredit offers the right to return the vehicle with a certificate. Thus, the dealer is obliged to take the vehicle back after the fixed term and replace the final rate at the bank. Accordingly, the final rate – in contrast to a normal three-way financing – can depend on me. The only problem that I see right now is that the dealer goes bankrupt and I only have a certificated right of return to him. Has anyone had any experience with the vehicle return within the scope of the Vario Credit? Is this just as straightforward as when leasing? Or do you see other pitfalls?

  • Search Train Wagon with Armor ESP Additional Function

    Hello everyone, I am almost desperate. I have been looking for a suitable train car for my caravan Knaus Südwind 550TKM ( 1500kg zGG ) for weeks. At the moment I drive a VW Passat. Since we are 2 adults 2 children ( with pram!!! ) and both in summer holidays with the caravan, but also in winter without caravan in ski holidays we have certain demands. Due to my little experience with team-riding I attach importance to an ESP additional function ( team stabilizer ung ) Unfortunately I haven’t found a model yet that really fits. An example: The VW Tiguan is really great, but with the trunk and two children we don’t get far. I also find the new Audi ́s great, but unfortunately nothing for my wallet. BMW X3 has the problem with the trunk again. Mitsubishi Outlander has no ESP additional function….. ……. and so that day goes on from day to day………….. Which manufacturers offer these ESP additional functions? As far as I am informed: Opel, Mercedes, VW, BMW, Honda and Ford in the new Kuga. Two cars I have fit to date: the new Insignia Sports Tourer and the Honda CR-V? With Opel I have already fallen on my nose 7 years ago and the Honda doesn’t leave much positive here in the forum. I am really grateful about every info, every idea. The only answer I don’t want to hear is… a passat 🙂 Greetings

  • Purchase advice Ibiza 5 KJ FR BJ 19

    Hi, everybody, I’m looking for a second car, especially for the woman. She shot herself in the Ibiza and I’m a little unsure about the small petrols. So far we mostly had large diesel (2.0 TDI) or at least 1.8L gasoline. I found one here that would agree to us. Used car prices are just already luxuriant… What do you think the price is justified and do we have our peace with it for a while? In itself, the equipment tells us very much. Vie Thanks already https://suche.mobile.de/vehicles/details.html?id=414209088

  • VAG angular gearbox differences

    Hi guys, I’m looking for advice from experts who know the VAG gears. I get so many different statements that I hope I can find more insights here and ask this question in the VW, Skoda and AUDI forums at the same time. I drive a Soda Yeti, 09/2009 1.8TSI petrol 4 x 4 , engine CDAA, gearbox LHC. Type LHC is apparently identical to gear KSC. The angled gear is defective there. I somehow exploded at 170,000km / Case break due to internal mechanical damage probably. I need complete replacement and the search for it is difficult. The alleged today’s part no. of the angular gearbox is 0AV409053AE my mechanic says on the case he reads 0AV409053P. On the Internet I find various angular gearbox with 409053 but other pre & renumbers. The one supplier says that fits anyway, the angular gearbox would all be the same of the type at VAG, others say that does not fit because other Year of construction, wrong letter. I hope we have here a few screwdrivers who know each other with all the VAG designations and can give me advice. Or, if one has a suitable part from a butcher etc.. gladly offer…. Thank you, Gruss Joachim

  • Piston-eater/sticker the 4th

    Hello together, I think this will be a lot of text… As you know, people often come to me with their lay Latin at the end. Since I have already made a lot of vehicles, everyone always believes that I could always help and speak vehicle Latain. This time I don’t know any more, so I end up with my Latin. At the moment a Kymco grand sink 50 of the 2 clocks had already 4 times a piston clamp or piston eater last year. The scooter has about 6500 kilometers The first piston clamp came in the spring on one of the first rides of the year without any apparent reason and the scooter ran then even to home with low power. So it said the girl, which belongs to the scooter. So in the workshop a new piston and cylinder was installed. Roller ran about 100 to 150 kilometers. Then complete piston eater nothing more went. Now the girl came to me. So I got the The engine was completely separated. Changed bearings, shaft, head and cylinder. Roller ran perfectly again. This time about 230 kilometers. Roller meant to have to get a clamp again. Then I changed the cylinder head and cylinder again. This time directly mixture, because I thought the mixture would not work properly and would not be sufficient or even not produced in between. Pustekuchen also so it came to the light clamp again, this time only 50 to 80 kilometers later. I then had my accident, the scooter was then again in the workshop. Everything back to original condition built there and installed new oil supply. Roller ran again. Until last week and also only 100 to 120 kilometers. I would like to help, but again cylinder head, cylinder, shaft and bearing would not be the right solution… must be something else… Still someone an idea I have not yet thought of, why he always makes the bitches again? Should I perhaps advance were to buy a complete used engine, that is there on classified ads I think cheaper than to change again and again what?!

  • Peugeot 406 driver’s seat defective

    Hello, After a long time I report again. This time the existence of my 406 is at stake. In May the TÜV is due and my driver’s seat is broken. I.e., a cross-section of the seat frame is broken, so that the seat now shakes quite strongly (swivel chair). My workshop man says that the part can not be welded so easily, because it does not allow the material. Furthermore, the seat must be completely disassembled (because of the airbag). In addition, the conversion of the seat. Together with further repairs, which are due before the TÜV (brakes, track rod heads, exhaust…) the costs exceed the residual value of the vehicle. But I found in a large online auction house used seats, which seem quite inexpensive. The problem is that these seats are not suitable for any kind of use. What do you think, can I install an electric driver’s seat in my Peugeot, which does not have any electric seats from the house? Do all cables already lie there, so that I only need to connect them, or are there other conditions missing? If this is not possible, the seats are all the same, so that I can possibly use the frame and the rest of my “old” seat from an electr. seat? And how expensive would a seat be? Is there a change?

  • 508 allure seat quality with comfort seats?

    Hello can someone (long-term) experience with the Peogeot seats report. Best of a frequent driver. I am superior to buying a 508 sw as an annual car, of course with the versatile adjustable comfort seats. Since I drive more than 60,000 km/p.a., I would be interested in experience values of other frequent drivers. Thanks already /edit: should own into the 508 forum

  • Tacho, problems & seat of the signal converter?

    Greetings, need your help.. With my 406 (see Sig.) the speedometer went on strike again. When I go, it jumps immediately to 30km/h & so it always shows 30km/h too much, showing run perfectly straight up. Yes ok, I thought to myself easy thing, build it out & solve the cold soldering again. Nevertheless, I have the same problem as before… Then I changed the speed sensor on the gearbox (…What costs the world ) Nevertheless, my test remains The ServiceBox shows that my vehicle is a speed converter or a “detector tempomat housing”, which is supposed to convert the signals of the transmitter. TN: 1929SJ I ordered the part, and I want to install it straight, but I just don’t find the shitty part. I already found out that it should be behind the manual drawer. Okay. Expansion, Zv control unit, fan unit, clamped air motor & still a box but not that I have here in front of me ^^ I am actually d he thinks that this part doesn’t have, because I don’t have a cruise control, but if that’s what the ServiceBox tells me about my VIN will be like that …. I need your help. Where does this thing sit, and if I don’t have what else the mistake can be greetings
