  • Media, Echo car, WLAN

    Hello together, I have been driving an F11 BJ 2014 with the big Navi for several years. So far we connect our smartphones via Bluetooth to play music via streaming, but in the long run this is very cumbersome. I have now thought about switching to Amazon’s Echo car, also a WLAN hotspot would be practical in the car. Does anyone have any experience and tips on this? Thank you very much!

  • Motor scooter leasing – is that worth it or too expensive?

    Hi guys, I’m still looking for a scooter. Can’t decide yet if it should be a 125 or one from the 300’s class. The only argument against a 300’s are the sometimes extreme prices for a scooter. For the 125’s class speaks the reason and arguments like “affordable” and “sufficient performance”… In the class I am interested in the models NMAX 125, Medley 125 and SR GT125… all visually my taste and the driving performance Now… since I have an A2 driver’s license… a 300 would of course be much more powerful… the question is, do you need it? Is the difference off a highway so outstanding that it excuses at least 2000€ extra charge? favourite would be the Medley 300 or an XMAX here for me. So, now we come to the crux… it is worth to lease a scooter instead of buying? Simply pay for 5 years 70€ every month and then ev Is this a good idea? I came up with the idea by this provider from Berlin and now I love it again with a 300 scooter, because the monthly price is quite painful. What do you think? https://www.autohaus-koenig.de/zweirad/piaggio/beverly/2200/

  • Manual gearbox hooked (3rd gear) after gear oil change with original gear oil

    Hello Schraubergemeinde, am not a long time R8ler and was so far more interested reader as topic writer. (also in the R8-Quattro Forum) In the course of a large inspection after 8 years (Bj2009) and 33000km the “life-filling” gear oil of my manual manual transmission changed for a new filling with original expensive G052171A. quantity etc. (3.5L) according to specification. (The part number is for’s manual transmission) With some measure fast gear change of 2nd in the 3rd gear is at the egg This was definitely not the case with the old oil. I’m a car driver and 100% screwdriver, so “is also filled in enough oil” etc. can be excluded as a possibility. Is there any experience regarding other oils from Castrol, LiquiMoly etc.? Syncronrings should be quite sensitive about the type of oil in principle!? The original oil should, however, be of its own accord. h work!! (Who knows which manufacturers are selling under the same part number over the years!?) Marcus is delighted about experiences and tips

  • Dubious pricing Distributors

    Moin, I would like to buy a new car as a hybrid car. Last week test drive at a large Toyota dealer here in North Hesse, I just wanted to see how a hybrid car feels like after almost 40 years as a motorist…. Dangers and found the woman enthusiastic too Then was counted in the salesman’s office…I pay the purchase price cash, you came to an amount of 17990€ Now I am looking for the same car at the same dealer when searching the internet I can fuck myself In the net there is the Yaris Hybrid by the way, same equipment for 16500€ Now I’m sure another dealer will sell the car to me…Headshake Gruss from Kassel

  • medium-term new commuting vehicle – economic solution sought

    Hello together, so my Cupra 280 is sold. Currently I drive my former second vehicle (Ibiza 6L with 75 hp) as main vehicle, so now I have time to look for something new. Drive simple route 62 KM to work (50 KM highway, 7 KM AB, 5 KM city). A total of 32 TKM a year, which is why the Cupra should also be gone. I am now looking for a more economical solution, but it does not matter on every euro (the Ibiza does not meet my requirements). T€. I drive almost only rural. So would be quite willing to jump on the diesel train and shoot a bargain here if necessary. Gladly with sporty look and beautiful interior. What I currently prefer is a Mazda 3 BJ. from 2014 with the 150 HP Diesel with Sport-Line equipment. They usually still have factory warranty. Only times as an idea what I like. Important is half-wise clever entertainment system with Bluetooth, cruise control, good light, climate automation and seat heating g. However, the BMW 320d 3s are slowly slipping into the price range from 2014 onwards, although still 1-3 T€ more expensive. I find a difficult decision. First I had shot myself on the Mazda 3 as a petrol engine (with simple suction technology), but now the diesels cost almost as much. What is your opinion about the two vehicles? Any objections or further recommendations? Is there any new information, when regarding driving bans something official happens? Greeting Fabian

  • Fiat Fiorino 147 engine problems

    Hello together, I bought an old Fiorino 5 years ago to participate in a fun rally. Since then it serves every year for two weeks men’s holiday in summer. Now the big trip starts again in three months. He got new TÜV last year in July and stood since then in the garage. Now I got out in two weeks to move him again. I stayed after 20 minutes. Since then following behavior occurs: In cold condition he jumps immediately After about 10 minutes (as soon as it is warm) it goes out. After that it can start again but only keep it running if you keep it on gas. If you don’t do this, it goes out again immediately and doesn’t jump on. After about two hours I can start it again and the game starts from the beginning. Now it’s the 1.4 petrol engine with 67 hp with electronically controlled carburettor. No workshop with me still knows about it or wil So far I have only exchanged the spark plugs. I have the great hope to come here to help so that as a simple screwdriver I don’t have no idea of ecotronic carburetors in vain to renovate things. I certainly still forgot important information that I will always provide if they are needed to give me a help. Thank you very much.

  • Can’t keep doing my job like this!

    Hello I have a huge problem: I am a car mechanic 34years old with about 15 years of professional experience! Now it is unfortunately so that my back will no longer allow my profession to continue (physically heavy work) because I have 2 disc incidents, 1x Operated 10years ago, now currently with the 2nd sick to home without surgery on the way of improvement…grad 5 weeks rehabilitation behind me! Had recently had a consultation conversation with the pension fund for retraining etc. There I had the topic Master School mentioned and the nice gentleman said that they would pay for it too if I could explain this with tangible facts why it is because from his/her experience you can get out as a master: -no attitude or only low job offer -only as a working master in the workshop! (that wouldn’t have helped me) How do you see this? What can I do as a master? Does car inspectors make sense? Acceptance/Workshop Master is clear… Power Master overworks Meaning or something else? Other suggestions!? I’m also very hard to think about taking a completely different path because cars are actually my thing and rather the craftsman is! Self-employment also doesn’t come into question…opening up your own car dump nowadays is not easy! Car salesman wouldn’t be my thing at all! I’m really desperate at the moment what to do…it’s really difficult with 34 “again”. I have to start from scratch now, too. Thinking about what to do…I’m home for almost half a year now(I’m falling the ceiling on my head) MfG

  • ’67 Ford Mustang, how suitable for newbies is it??

    Tach people, for a few years now the idea of the 67 Mustang doesn’t go out of my mind. Now I would have bought the dough around that part. But I have unfortunately hardly any idea of cars, rather of motorcycles. I drive no Harley. So, quite honestly, without the patos and romantic shit, you can do it. Can you really have a 40-year-old Ford Mustang? Without that you are constantly lying under it or unraveling oil? Or is the part constantly standing around in my workshop and costing money, and w Yes, how much?

  • Tyre advice: Goodyear or Michelin ?

    Hello , I need new summer tyres in size 205 / 55 / R16 for my Ford Focus (petrols, 125 hp) My factory-mounted Conti Sport Contact 2 left after 40,000km to 1.6mm. I am very disappointed by the Contis, so that now only the following tyres can be considered: – Goodyear Opti Grip – Michelin Energy Saver – Michelin Primacy HP My driving profile: 80% highway with constant 130km/h, 10% highway, 10% city traffic. I am concerned with longevity, running calls and good wetness properties. Please do not recommend other tyre manufacturers. I am exclusively fixed to Michelin and Goodyear. Thank you in advance.
