  • My SL55 in Mopf2 optics

    Sooo… it’s done. After long and elaborate considerations I had decided to miss the Mopf2 look of my 55s. Since my car only has 60TKM on the hump and the engine even only 28TKM (engine change by AMG at 32TKM due to material errors) … and I am eigtl. all around happy with the car, I did not want to accept the loss of value by a sale. Besides, every MT’ler knows that I am a big fan of the 55 compressor engine… Just because of the r optics take a darker engine and the loss of value. Nope… And this is what the result looks like now. It was important to me that everything (really ALL) is 100% true to the original: parts, gaping material, underbody cladding, functionality (mirror and LWR), cross trainer, inner wheelhouse cladding etc. … all original AMG! By the way: MopfAMG (Dirk) helped me with the technology great. My recommendation! But what am I talking about for a long time… pictures say more than words.

  • First inspection cost what makes sense

    Hello together, I now have a good 20,000 km on it. Since a longer ride is due in December and I have to change the tires anyway, I wanted to have a first inspection done. For the service booklet or that the guarantee is also not lost and mobility. What should this cost about? Bzw also, what makes sense? 20,000km, 1.5 years old. Got an offer, through a Seat workshop: small inspection, oil and pollen filter change approx. 320€ Zuzgl wheel change 27€ Find this all What did you pay? Best regards, Nicole Meilinger

  • Seat Arona windscreen wiper rear as well as front cause problems

    A hello to all Arona drivers. We got the first new Arona in July, here we had after 4 weeks, which one drove us on the back. Now on 16.08.19 we got the next new Arona and here we have the problem, that the windscreen wipers at the front as well as at the back do not function correctly. We drove at night the first time in the rain, the windscreen wipers rubbed over the disc, that was already very dangerous, because no clean wiper picture was created. The other day in the light I looked at it exactly, it was rubber abrasion from the wipers, this was very stubborn to remove. At the back of the disc there were also traces of the rubber, also that I removed for once. Unfortunately, I did not take pictures of it, I thought it would be done after the cleaning. Unfortunately, it was not, the problem bes tand further. I went to a Seat contract workshop, which made a film of the problem and sent it to Customer Service Seat. Here came in response, windshield wipers are wear part, because they can not make. Today I have attached a new wiper at the rear, the problem persists. Since someone of you had such a problem or knows such a thing from other vehicles?

    Hello, I unfortunately came with a tire against a curb. The flank is now damaged, a piece of the tire has dissolved, but you can’t see the fabric. Should I replace the tire or can I leave it on it?

  • 7 years guarantee? Not really!

    Sounds great at 7 years warranty at KIA. But when it comes to it, it’s amazing how fast KIA gets out. I bought my Rio from the dealer 06/2012. At almost 16,000 kilometers the car was maintained at the dealer’s and with almost 19,000 kilometers the coupling is now defective. Regardless of the fact that the dealer rejects the warranty, KIA writes back the error, according to the dealer, to my lack of driving experience, since I have the coupling constantly Since I drive a company car as a second car, and I drive more than 40,000 km a year with it, I feel that this is already a shame. The costs of more than 1500,- Euro should therefore be paid myself. Therefore, it is not possible to talk about a guarantee. But most of all, I got angry about the incompetent dealer, who explains to me after 2 minutes during the test drive: lies on the driver and the driving style. No guarantee possible. that will be my last KIA.

  • Xceed winter bikes

  • What part? Fat Boy, Fat Bob or Street Bob?

    Would be nice if someone could show briefly where the significant difference is with these models. I would like to add another cruiser. I already had a Yamaha XV 1600 Wild Star Silverado, BMW R 1200 C Montauk and BMR R 1200 CL. I tend to the Fat Boy. Why does the Fat Bob cost about 3 bills less? I don’t understand the Street Bob. When is this recommended? As said would be nice.

  • Underfloor lighting

    Tach. Wanted to ask if someone with underfloor lighting has experience here and can tell me what that looks like in red? All other colors are I hardly think the problem, but with red I can imagine that red is not the same red! The question is how can I know beforehand if the red what I buy is also really red and also remains red? Does someone have an idea to buy or maybe red underfloor lighting? Would be grateful for any help. mfG NeXuS

  • Purpose of this forum???

    especially at vw where it is so often about styling and optical tuning I do not fully recognize the meaning of this subforum! wouldn’t it be more useful to maintain the usual division??? because I come from the g3 forum, where practically as before everything is discussed optically, I don’t understand this more effort for the mods! moreover, res also does not necessarily contribute to the clarity of the mt forum!!!! as far as I remember more than 2/3 of the threads in this forum, in a my proposal would therefore be to activate the search again, and not to create new forens.

  • Audi RS4 and fire from ESD
