  • He’s here!!!

    Hello, was on vacation last week and I came back on the 29th so I thought on Sunday I would watch the friendly one see if your little one is already there. I couldn’t believe it when I saw him…just nice. Delivery date is the 5.8. I think I can get to know the week and get it. Well, it was worth every day I had to wait. mfg Markus

  • Deficiencies in my Fox EZ:1.8.06

    VW Fox, 1,2 , climate, electric window lifters, metallic, sidebags…Complete decoupling except ESP Unfortunately, only anyone can advise to buy a Fox, I thought VW has learned to do so.The following defects on my Fox: -on the pick-up date in the car dealership, dent in the side part, scratch bonnet, varnish burst off on the fender, cover window lifter defective, many lacquer inclusions etc. -2 days later on the first rain both display windows leaked, as I have read here have the problem many. -S chainwerfer ray into the sky -Handbrake pulls only when almost vertical stands Up to today not a single defect has been fixed!!! Have a lawyer. VW dealer waits for a so-called varnish condition at VW. Until then it probably has to rain further in?! I also think that these defects are not an isolated case. Had times an Alfa Romeo for almost 20 000 Euro and therefore I am used to some things concerning defects, but that has not happened to me yet. The very last one!

  • Tuesday, 15.8. it’s time!!!!

    Hello people! I am writing here today for the first time and would like to introduce myself briefly here. I am Tobias and come from Weyhe, which is located directly near Bremen and am by profession aviation security assistant in general of the federal police and in between, if it is needed (in case of serious crimes such as murder and where incidents are feared like e.g. negotiations against foreign fellow citizens), security controller in the district and regional court of Bremen. (That was it briefly about me, now to the important We have 2 cars in the family, a Passat 3BG Variant Highline with 2.5 V6 TDI in Indigo blue and from Tuesday there will be a Fox 1.4 in Tornado red in front of the door. Ordered at the end of May (31 May, exactly one day before price increase) and just under a week ago came the redeeming call, which the Fox is ready to pick up in the car town. So Konfig we took a simple model: 1.4l with 75 HP in Tornado red color package and sliding, folding and wrapable rear seat and strip E-seat covers in black and white. Radio is retrofitted a normal one by Panasonic. I hope that everything goes smoothly at the handover and if you want, I will put photos of the handover online! I am so looking forward to the one, small day in Wolfsburg, that is incredible! Best regards TobiasR.

  • R129 sucks battery empty

    Hello together, I have the problem with the SL that the battery is constantly unloading itself in the stand. The problem has occurred for about 5 months so that after 1-2 weeks of service life the (charged) battery is so unloaded that the car can no longer be started. Probably the alarm system sucks the battery empty, because the discharge time is extended in the case of an unfinished car. Bosch service has measured and found nothing. Battery is apparently also ok, Lichmaschine also. n instead a 12V can connected to the battery. So I can have the car connected to the maintenance charger in the garage. Their comment was that the problem with the SL is completely normal and that happens to many. Therefore my question to you, whether you have this problem in principle? I don’t think it is normal that you can no longer start the car after 1 week of service life. It is a 95 R129 SL 320. Nice greeting to all SL friends

  • Manufacturer of crossbars

    Hello! A question to all who have already renewed the front crossbars: Do you know which manufacturer is installed with you and if so, which one is it and how satisfied are you with it? I am now facing this repair, but would hate to access the expensive originals. I had already installed some of Ebay last year – well, that I need some now, says everything. So now I have written to all possible suppliers at Ebay, to the manufacturers of the b They have all responded willingly and strangely, these are all good companies: Febi, Mapco, NK… Who has experience with the different manufacturers and wants to share them with me? Thank you Matze

  • SLS – residual value ?

    Hello together, I’m just planning on the next car purchase. Actually, I had categorically excluded to look at an SLS for price reasons, but now the “dream” is bothering me and I’m going to figure it out. Since I’m going to finance via the house bank anyway, I’m actually only interested in the loss of value of an SLS over the financing period. I want to find something about the 125t € with about 10000 – 30000 km on the clock. BJ seems possible max. 2010. We would, for example, be the residual value in 4 or 5 years, starting from a purchase today with the mentioned parameters ? What about the performance of the SLS in general ? Thank you

  • looking high car for my father

    Hello, I’m looking for a car for my 71-year-old father. His requirements are: 1. high and good seating position 2. good overview 3.strong motor(he used to be a test editor at a car magazine) Driving he will be so in about 5,000-7,000km a year so the consumption does not play such a big role. Mainly solid and not so incredibly expensive in the maintenance. Also the vehicle should be reliable. His budget is about 8,000 euros Here are a few ads I have selected: 1. Re nault Scenic 2006 2.0 16V Exception( 163 PS), 56,000km, 6,950 Euro 2. VW Touran 2.0 FSI Goal, year 2006( 150 PS), 120.000km, 7,500 Euro VB 3. Opel Meriva OPC( 179 PS), year 2006, 99,000km, 7,990 Euro Are there any other alternatives or are these engines in order (my father likes rubber on the highway) and what about the durability of these vehicles or the engines? Thanks in advance luckyphil

  • Reliable car up to approx. 8000, which also has a bit of fun

    Hello, to be honest, I am a real car layman and I am just about to buy a car again for the first time in a long time and the more I inform myself here and on the net, the more insecure I become. I would be very happy about suggestions and ideas. I am looking for a car with which I will drive about 8000 to 10000 km a year in the city or sometimes shorter highway routes (less than 50 km per route). As a budget I had thought about 8000 (a bit of room for manoeuvre is there). On the one hand, it’s important to me that the car is reliable (clearly there will be repairs from time to time, but I don’t want to worry about staying with every ride). At first, I thought that a trip (Aygo, C1, 107) is the right one, because I could get it more or less new. However, I’ve been driving mostly 1 BMW or Mini (BMW carsahring) lately and after some test drives with the triplets I have to tell me that the difference in driving comf I know that I don’t get a useful 1 or MINI for 8000, but it would have to be possible to find something that offers at least a bit more driving pleasure and comfort. So it would be great if you could give me suggestions that you would look at my profile. Thank you in advance, Frank.
