  • VW Phaeton Secure-Car Warranty

    Hello dear forum, about a year ago I bought my Phaeton V8. I am very satisfied with it, but with increasing age the probability of defects on the vehicle grows. Therefore I looked for a guarantee that I can make for the Phaeton. Unfortunately I had to find with regret that there is no guarantee insurance (anyhow on the net) that would insure my loyal glider. Here a link: https://www.secure-car.de I find the conditions very good, for the sake of security I would opt for the most extensive variant. Does anyone have experience with this insurer? Does this page make a trustworthy impression on you? Greetings

  • Questions about buying XC90

    Hello together After a long time, various questions have been clarified. It should now become an XC90 D5. Can someone tell me what differences from the sport to the standard models exist regarding: chassis (only harder springs?) brakes (larger discs or what?) roof railing wheels Next question about the iPod connection, for XC90 is only an Aux input available, about which I can not charge the iPod, how did you solve this? Any holder with 12 volt connection? What experiences do you have with the alarm system, order or not? Remote control for the stand heating, has someone ordered already? (Have seen the thread via SMS, I don’t want) return driving camera, because these can already be ordered from factory? So basically it should now be a sport or an executive with the following equipment: D5 with automatic machine, 7 seat grey metallic communication pack composite glass Bi-Xenon with cornering light (quot the really?) Electric seats standing heating with remote control BLIS alarm system Park Control rear premium sound coupling camera Return camera Have I forgotten something from it 😉

  • Again a consumption ́s question XC90 D5

    I’ve been driving for about 3 months now and now almost 8000km my XC90 D5 GT MJ 08. Now I’m a little confused about the consumption? Actually, I’m a balanced driver (…or what the XC90 makes of one), i.e. I drive in town without great rear-facing and also on the highway mostly with cruise control between 120 and 140. But I almost never get under 11 liters by car? Sure if I’m in a hurry and I’m very fast on the road, the consumption increases exorbitantly and the BC shows 15l and more, but that’s the big exception with me. With what consumption do you get there? I only mean that the low-priced consumption (Lt. Manufacturer) for me in class comparison was AUCH an argument for the XC90. I had for example a GrandCherokee 3.0 for a week for testing and he had a lower consumption, than now my XC90? I drove the GC with the same driving mode (and with significantly more power, 6Zylinder and 5G Automat) Patrick with around 10l greetings?

  • Slices remain open when rigged?????

    Hello has this experience already one of you at a V70 ? BJ 2001 On the remote control are following options. Lock , Unlock boot lock and lighting (round yellow button) . – Have now tried Lock 2x short one after the other and also pressed longer while locking but disc remains below . Even after a waiting time of a few minutes disk does not close. Do I do something wrong or have to reprogram the key (the remote control ). Windows can also not close when the key has been pulled off and the car is not yet locked . That is new to me even with my old Opel the discs were autom. closed when the scales was closed . ? And still a question to the GAS drivers . Can it be that the oil consumption (engine oil) after conversion to gas becomes higher ..? and which ratio Butan /Propan isei V70 to miss in gas operation or is that any matter ?

  • inexpensive alternative to XC 90 ??

    In a comparable fred, the initial question was what we would think of a 30,000 Euron SUV – but the contributions were exhausted quite quickly and ended up in the 50,000 class. For me, it is no question that my big ship will flatten every average car if it comes to an “average collision”. I drive about 30,000km a year and the lion share on highways, so I want a safe car = XC90 But what about my wife, who brings our children to school every day, and takes various other (practically only) inner-city rides? In the first-vehicle choice I deliberately did not talk her in, because she was already an auto muffle and got out of it anyway is an Opel Agila, who is red with fire and also has reflection strips round around it, but should it rather not have a crash…. The elevated seating position she wants to keep in any case and all-wheeled has never done! So corner points, which is a SUV fulfilled. Even if I would like to renew my Dickship in about two years, would not have to propose a great price for her?

  • Had a crash, hitch hitch damaged?

    Moin, Well 14 years accident-free and on yesterday’s day it happened: refuelling accident. The Toyota was pushed by a VW Sharan on my V50. I myself stand at the time of the accident (backlog in front of a red traffic light). The guilt question has been clarified and it is now going to the regulation. My reviewer will come to me the days, my regular workshop has looked at this today and said that we are here Ratz fatz at 2000€, because sldoe trailer coupling has to be exchanged e.g., in addition to the damage to the bumper and everything behind it. More precisely, the reviewer will be able to say it. I place with just the question, whether it is usual that in such accidents the AHK is exchanged? The hook was not mounted, in the decrease of the cap (police wanted to take photos) came towards me plastic parts and a part was bent somewhat, probably because the opponent vehicle pushed so far into the bumper when impacted, that there was also a blow on the coupling. What do you mean?

  • Volvo C30 pulls to the right despite multiple adjustment of the track

    Dear Forum members, I already had the track set at my Volvo C30 at two different workshops and the car still pulls to the right. I added the excerpt of the last axle measurement as a picture. Unfortunately, I did not get the extract of the first axle measurement from ATU. I have also pulled brand new summer tyres on it since this weekend, with the hope that it is gone afterwards, but this was unfortunately not the case. It is particularly noticeable on the motorway at higher speeds. The steering wheel stands to go straight ahead a few degrees to the left and when the steering wheel is released the car pulls to the right as if it were a lane change. The car had a damage from the previous owner on the front right, which, according to the previous owner, did not pull the frame. Nevertheless, the hood, front bumper and the right fender had to be changed. Is it possible that it was still lying on a drawn frame? What could it be, and how could I get the car to steer straight again?

  • It can’t be the outpost alone, can it?

    Hello Motor-Talkler, who knows this: Investigating object: A W124 (E 200 Diesel), 2 liters with 75 hp, built in 1995, manual 5-speed manual transmission and 160,000 km on the clock. Note: I had recently confirmed from a workshop that the backlog “is no longer quite in order”. (Symptoms: In idle noises, I step the clutch pedal disappears.) Question: In addition to the noise of the backlog, which disappears again when the clutch pedal enters, another noise constantly runs in idle. I believe it has also occurred at the same time as the problem of the backlog. The noise is a dull tone, which strikes in the cycle of crankshaft rotations. If the engine hood is opened, this noise does not seem to come directly from the engine, which runs very clean, as always. Can this sound come from the gearbox??? Does anyone know this problem? Is it a problem at all?

  • Manta B GTE or GSI ???

    Moin Moin, I’m looking for a Manta B, now the question is GTE or GSI.Had a 86 GSI a few years ago and was very happy with the car. Well, the GTE is a carburetor and the GSI is an injection. What experiences have you made and what would you tend to do? MFG COUPE PILOT

  • C20LET Engine Charging pressure etc…
