  • Dealing with the possible loss of funding for plug-in hybrids from 2023

    There is a detailed presentation of the proposed changes to the promotion for e-cars from 2023. There it says about plug-in hybrids: Quotation: 3. In the sense of a as slim as possible promotion, which focuses on the positive climate protection effect and since plug-in hybrids are now marketable, the promotion for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) is to end on 31.12.2022. Specifically this means that plug-in hybrids with a first registration from 01/01/2023 thus no longer receive funding I would like to know how the reaction of the old PSA core brands is. Especially from the point of view of the current delivery times. Do you buy the vehicles anyway or would this change lead to a cancellation of the order? Vehicles such as DS4 or Peugeot 308 have only come on the market this year as a plug-in hybrid. The price difference with the pure burners is still clear at the moment. If possible, it would be an objectively friendly discussion and, if possible, limited to the former PSA core brands.

  • ASSISTANCE DANGER – my DS7 went straight ahead in the turn

    Hello together Sorry, but I have to take up a serious topic, which I am very concerned about, because it is about human life here. Upcoming … I was super satisfied with my DS7 until he unfortunately drove straight ahead in a curve. In short: I wanted to turn into a right turn at approx. 55km/h, but the DS just went out and was no longer steerable. I came to a stop after the braking shortly before the ditch on the opposite track. The assistance system was not activated. Several alerts flashed in a row, some of which I could still photograph, e.g. “Error tracking system” and “Servo steering”. You can imagine that I will no longer be on the road with this vehicle. I don’t want to imagine how the situation would have ended if I had only 2 minutes later at speed 100 on the road. dstraße into the oncoming traffic or in the forest would have strayed from the road. Unfortunately, this does not interest anyone at DS. Neither the company Spiegelhalder and Heiler in Heidelberg, where I bought the DS, nor the PSA Leasing and also not the DS Salon, where the car has been standing since January and which said with quote: “the fault memory was cracked, you can drive quite calmly”. (shortly: I had the DS in front of the workshop at the expert) I have no idea if such an F I hope and don’t wish it to you.

  • DS7 Crossback E Tense does not pull electric

    Hello, does someone still have the problem with their E Tense? During the ride, the electric mode no longer works. You can set all modis except electric the display of the current stops. It is fully charged in the morning. I always start in hybrid mode in the morning. If I come from the highway and have to start again I notice it already. It strenghts at the start and no longer comes out of the quark. Consumption is then 9- 17 L. At the traffic light it also does not go m I hope someone will be able to help me. I’m glad to see you again. I’m glad you’re here. I’m glad you’re here. I’m glad you’re here. I’m glad you’re here. I’m glad you’re here. I’m glad you’re here. I’m glad you’re here.

  • looking for praise and criticism for the DS4

    Moin! I’m looking for a new company car right now. Coming from the Insignia, I don’t need much more space in the future, which is why I like to look around a number smaller. Actually, the previous place should give way to a little more sportiness in the future. So I would probably be out of place now with the DS4 E-Tense. Nevertheless, I like it visually and should now face the Cupra Formentor (Hybrid, 245PS) in direct comparison with me, which for me is currently also hoc h is in the course. Except for very few YouTube videos, which are all quite superficial, there is not much you can find. I would be interested in how the assistance systems and infotainment work. Is there Patzer, or does everything work as it should, or even exceptionally well? So: Does the track hold assistant find its tracks? Does the Adaptive Tempomat work smoothly? Does it work together with the traffic sign recognition – thus also slows down car Is the head-up-display what? Does the connection to Apple Carplay work without any problems and does it work wirelessly? I would also be interested in how the car is driving, if the battery is flat when the long distance is running. Will it then become sluggish? Just throw in a few things that you feel worth mentioning. I thank you!

  • DS 7 Hybrid and washing line

    Good smears, I’ve had my DS 7 since yesterday and I’m positively surprised. A really great vehicle. Let’s see how it proves itself. But now on the actual topic. I would like to free the car from the road salt and drive through a wash road. Now I found in the operating instructions at all possible places hints on the use of the vehicle in wash roads. A complete “instruction” but not. In the past, you didn’t need such a thing because cars were still cars. are it more computer … Therefore my question to you, how do you handle this with the following points or if you know any further points: 1.) Expand the mirror (is that really necessary?) 2.) In the front area and in the area of the underbody no high pressure wash must be carried out (this will be quite difficult, because nowadays high pressure is used for every underbody wash. Just like driving into the Faschstraße every time a short high pressure wash of the entire vehicle takes place.) 3.) Komf Deactivate the opening function of the rear cover. (Very impracticable if you have to do this separately every time. Does the tailgate open under the washing process?) Do you turn off the AUto when you are in the wash road? Will not go if it is one with pulling device, as the wash road is blocked. So, do you run the vehicle and set it on N? Is there anything else to consider? Thank you very much!

  • DS7 – Storage Lordosis support

    For almost 2 years I haven’t been reading the topic with us yet. So I assume that I am the only one who is affected. I’m still trying: I have a performance line with leather seats, but without a massage function. There I can still set the Lordose support. However, I noticed that the setting for this is not stored correctly. At times I had the feeling that it is not stored in general. Or the pumped-up Ki But it is sometimes the case that the support is pumping up, even if it was still a bit pumped up – and that is to the value that I had tried to save. In short: The part does what it wants. Either it is not there after start or it kicks me in the back. The workshop said that it cannot reproduce the problem and therefore a solution is difficult. Am I the only one who has this problem?

  • Brakes DS7

    I noticed today when cleaning, that all brake calipers and the parts are rusty, although I drive almost daily to work with them (130km). I also don’t use a rim cleaner, because I have to seal winter or summer bikes before season and assembly. For me this looks like inferior quality. So a car looks normal when it is rarely moved. What is your opinion about it and has someone else with it problems and has the My DS7 is only 1 year old and I e-mailed my dealer the pictures and wrote that I will definitely complain about this next week at the annual service!

  • DS 7 e-tense 300PS

    Hi Does anyone know about you? Was built into the DS 7 e-tense 300PS, building year: 22.2.2020 the famous infamous THP engine, or was it further developed, or is it a completely different engine. (The THP engine from Peugot/BMW has considerable oil loss and chain tensioner problems) I found no clue in the technical data. An injection is it definitely. The dealer could not make a reliable statement!

  • Guarantee and scalded services

    Dear everyone, has someone already dealt with the issue of warranty or/and warranty extension? After we have only 2 years the extension possibility exists up to (in total 96 months), but what is really involved with it? If I look at the variant 1 (simple warranty extension), here are actually all the relevant things, such as the batteries (by the way I forgot to mention – I drive a 4×4 E-Tenese), or also the headlights not included. if I think that only one of the engines of our headlights breaks (and here I am not talking about rockfall) and we will have to change the complete headlights that will probably go into the money …. I have a few months to decide here whether the extension really makes sense, because at least over € 7,000,- for 96 months with one-time payment and if then nothing is covered …. I would be interested in your considerations and experiences about this Here!

  • DS7 E-Tense 360 – Batteries in the engine compartment and luggage compartment empty

    Today both batteries of my DS7 360 were empty. Last weekend I drove 450 KM. On Monday I washed the DS and put it in the garage. Since then the car is standing. During the week he got the full pampering program. After washing polishing, waxing, suctioning, cleaning windows. Of course you have to open and close several doors and hoods. That was not a problem with any of my cars. But the DS seems to be a sensitive little bit. I noticed that during the entire work, even when the doors were closed, the start button lights up red. It seems that it can’t turn off. Can someone tell me why the start button lights up continuously and why the car’s electronics don’t turn off? How can I avoid this problem next time? Open the case lid and then disconnect the battery in the engine compartment? What is the Bat for? terie in the trunk responsible ? To clamp this would be a rather not reasonable effort. You can’t get there really quickly. Thank you very much for your help in advance. With the DS everything is somehow a little different …
