  • I hate my life…

    Just two and a half weeks I have now my new BN and just I had the first accident … almost half self-inflicted I carried out a somewhat exaggerated evasive maneuver in front of a (possibly drunken) cyclist who led me with both wheels of the driver’s side at about 35 km/h at a rather sharp angle over a traffic island with 90°-bar-stone edge, which is located in the middle of a kinking front road. I am certainly already felt 5000 I drove past this place once, without ever having a problem. Today of all times and especially with a car, which has not yet 2000 km on the clock … I could really roar with rage. The result: both rims are over and both tires are flat. Fortunately, there is no visible damage to the thresholdr, underbody and the front or rear apron, because the ground clearance of the car was probably still sufficient. I will definitely have 2 new rims and 2 new tires need, and certainly also the axle geometry must be tested and adjusted if necessary, if possible. Question: does anyone have experience with how solid the chassis of the BM/BN is designed? Do I have to expect that other parts have passed away during the action?

  • Can anyone try/report details on USB stick and Mazda3 2017?

    I can plug in a USB stick at my dealer and play around, but some things remain unclear. Does anyone have a Mazda3 2017 and use a USB stick? What size (GB) does the USB stick have? Will the USB stick be re-readed after each start? It is also played by a 128GB stick, but that takes 5-10 minutes until what is played. Of course, this is useless. Can you deactivate the re-reading after each start? Collects the MZD data from the USB stick until all op. with another USB stick there were more options, ie it could be that options come in after some time? Looking forward to every info!

  • MZD Connect (problems connected via WLAN hotspot)

    Hello Together, ..bin from the Golf V Forum ‘overrun’ – since the 05.01.2015 I drive a Mazda 3. Have you had experience with the MZD Connect? I have not yet managed to go online with my Mazda 3 via a Wi-Fi hotspot (tethering). I am interested in the online data / services, such as weather data or fuel prices, for the Navi. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2. Although my Mazda recognizes the WLAN or the WLAN hotspot, when connecting I get a Network error. Even with unprotected WLAN (without password) it doesn’t work – that’s the same problem. Do I do something wrong or is the function generally somewhat problematic? A USB-tethering or Bluetooth-tethering does not work either. Is it possible on the mobile phone? However, the pairing via Bluetooth (telephoning via hands-free system, music, SMS etc.) works perfectly. Greetings!

  • Used car shopping – smells huge

    Moin, I used to buy a nice BMW here, but the conditions are so stupid that it stinks already. Was on an online market, contacted the seller via email. The price was indicated in the market at 8,000€, 40,000km. Reply mail then came from an email address with female name of a French woman. Broken google translate German. Car is on her name, she “has taken the car from Germany and now the car is in Frank Tüv would be rich until 5/2018, divorced from her husband, car reminds of him, wants to sell him as soon as possible, pushes the price down to 6000, if I go to the Franco-German border Strasbourg and take it with me. S/W tires in the price, “all taxes paid in Germany” (which taxes?), service booklet completely maintained. So damn good offer. Then comes what I don’t get at all. All papers will be ready for a sale, and I can also use the same To appease again, it is suggested that you go to some workshop nearby and let the car look at. Questions: Don’t you have to deregister the car here in Germany first? Otherwise you could just theoretically say that I stole your car. And then her name still hangs everywhere in the papers?! Supposedly, the thing is completely fine, how would I/she have to proceed here? The thing just stinks. But if that were a serious offer, I don’t want to miss it either! Hope for input and thank you in advance.

  • Cheap, reliable convertible, two seats!

    Hello, I play with the thought to get me a convertible. Ask me if this is possible with a budget of approx. 2000€, and if so what. It should have power, mind 120ps upwards. 2 seats, of course would be most horny with leather equipment. From the outside already something to do. Best also well suitable for screwing. Age is relatively irrelevant to me, should of course be in a neat condition, even if you buy still find many defects Km running power is re I think my demands are too high, especially in the area where there is little good, or do I see that wrong?

  • Liability for defects/guarantee

    Moien, I bought my better half in early January 2017 a Golf Bj. 2011. I drove about 480km far to a dealer and everything was ok, at least so far. Now in the Kombi 2 warning lights lit up and I am on my own account to the VW dealer who read out the car. It looks like the ignition distributor has one away. In the worst case the control unit, which he does not assume, because with my model the ignition distributor often gives up the mind. Now my question: If the ignition distributor, at least about 200€, falls under the liability for defects, or does it stick to me? Do not misunderstand, if it had been the ignition cables, I would have paid it directly, but the ignition distributor…

  • Roadster searched: BMW Z4 E85 vs. Mazda MX5 new

    Hello together! I want to finally fulfill my dream this year and buy a nice two-seater convertible. Since “beautiful” is almost subjective, I have limited myself to 3 models. 1. BMW Z3 Facelift (but actually out, because too old/adventure) 2. BMW Z4 E85 (only R6, the favorite!) 3. Mazda MX5 New car/year car (the reason variant?) Important marginal condition: Austria (i.e. restricted market or expensive import from D) Are both variants suitable for everyday use in the sense of: – All-year drive ug – Lanternparker – holiday 2 weeks open driving At the first reviews of the MX-5 at the dealer’s office, the trunk seemed pretty small for a holiday. Does anyone have practical experience? What would you recommend in terms of profitability? Spend more and low follow-up costs but value loss or otherwise around? Driving performance is hard to say, but probably so 15000 km/year. Thanks for your opinions!

  • Software Update

    Hello everybody, I had a service appointment at Audi yesterday. The service consultant said that since 27.05 a new software update would be available (I have a V10 Plus Bj 2018). To the question, what exactly did the update do he could not give me a correct answer. However, the update definitely has an effect on the sound. I had it put back for the time being. Does any of you have more information about this update here? Greeting Timo

  • V6 -> Audi 80 Cabriolet or Coupè ??? purchase advice

    Hello people. I have to get a new car. I decided for 2 cars but I can only decide for one. I just wanted to hear your opinion. I would like to know what it looks like in maintenance (very important), sprite consumption, whether the V6 engines have any bugs, which is to be paid attention etc… also the mileage… so basically I did not want to buy anyone with over 150,000 km. these engines are, what you hear, very reliable and long-lived ig. to the selection are an audi 80 convertible & an Audi coupè, both with a 2.8 liter V6. my requirements are leather and also the original root wood, which there was in both.. lastly, the two have full equipment. I will then drive one of the vehicles also ONLY in the summer. the cabrio I wanted to make myself quite discreetly with beautiful porsche rims and yes chassis possibly a bit here and there, but not too much, because less is with such a car more, I find. would like to stop d I’m thinking: because it’s a fabric cover I’m afraid the son of the children can not start with their long stay and steal the cover from me. Furthermore, the cabrio without quattro and since you can quickly let the front wheels come with nem v6, it might go to the mature… now to the coupè… I wanted to do this evenly and what I absolutely shouldn’t miss is this huge beer. theke back on the audio. i find the original spoiler is the hammer. unfortunately very rare but possibly later to buy !? advantage here is the quattro and the non-slashable roof so my reference: convertible horny feeling but without quattro…hmm please tell me your opinion. would be happy. gruß schacki
