Tomorrow I made a very bad mistake with the car purchase of my new passat. I bought a VW Passat in Berlin on Friday, visually rust and scratches and dents not to see from the outside. I was at the dealer on Monday a week ago and I did a test drive and also everything a beginner can test can test, everything was ok, except for the engine control light was on. The dealer said that the error is still fixed and he has to go to his factory town because of new TÜV. When I had picked up the car on Friday was made new TÜV and there were no lights on. The dealer told me that everything was done and also something new came up on the exhaust, on that I bought the car for 2750,00€. Then I drove from Berlin to Mühlhausen without problems, yesterday after a big ride into the CSSR, the engine light was shining at once the dealer again. When I was at home I took the purchase contract at hand and had to find out that there was something not so pleasing. Since I didn’t know anything about the car’s gear and the dealer had absolutely told me about it.

Hi benzo driver, what ́ne dimension do you use for your rims or would you like to use ?This time multiple selections are possible, because at least TWO boxes have to be activated So have fun voting and discussing…. Another tip:6,5 – 10,5 stands for the rim width14 – 20 stands for you rim height / rim diameter

I’d like to know what your opinion about tuning on a Mercedes-Benz is! Do you like more tuned benzos or do you prefer everything original, except for the smallest screw?

So how do you see that? Does one actually have more success with women with a big car? Or doesn’t the beautiful sex pay attention at all to something like that? I can only say for my part that if I am travelling with my Lupo I will clearly get a nice smile back at the traffic lights more often than if I am driving with the Benz. So exactly the opposite of the stated thesis. Would I be interested in whether this is generally the case. Are women NOT MATIAN? So and now I am looking forward to your postings, but please don’t become Cheauvinist, my topic was not meant either…. Greetings Taliesin

What do you think about how the new Formula 1 season for Mercedes has been going so far? To be honest, I’m pretty disappointed. After there was a lot of engine damage last season, this season seems to be a lot more than just the reputation of Mercedes, who is known for quality and longevity. If Mercedes can’t build engines that have the same reliability as the other top teams (Ferrari, BMW), then maybe they should pull back from Formula 1 or at least run the engines under a different name. If they’re down again at the next Grand Prix, then they’re slowly but surely making a mockery.

I have been reading here on the board for quite a while now and I like to argue in threads like “The car against the” or “How old does the car look against my super sportsman”. I wonder more and more often, how much PS is actually enough? Also in the great “SLK 600 – I need help” thread someone doesn’t seem to understand the relations any more. How much PS do you think is enough?? In my opinion, everything is basically no matter, since there is “always” a faster car. And you can be sure that you will meet the then also at the traffic light or on the BAB. Especially if you are happy about a sdchnelles bullet comes a bigger and drives you over the roof. Who of you runs knows what I mean. Do we have statistics in mind how often we have lost and won in a traffic light race, and we estimate how fast our car is now? So how much PS – or better how much PS with otherwise the same signs do you need? Avantgarde

hello together, we’ve been talking about a meeting before, which was interesting on many sides. well it’s still early in the year, but we should start to plan the whole thing. I think we should start to plan the whole thing slowly, so that it won’t be such a we-meeting-us-time-even-saturday-afternoon-on-nem-parking-meeting. we need a date, a good time and maybe one of you also has experiences with such a meeting, so that it will be more than just a parking meeting. maybe this meeting can also go over a complete weekend?? so, what do you mean?? let’s hear something right!

Hello together, I have to go back to work, because with my diesel (again) the pre-glow candle hops went. When I rummaged in old bills I noticed: wages 1999: 103 DM wages 2000: 134 DM wages 2002: I’m curious… The list of listed works could be about like this: 1. Entered into the vehicle 2. Driven into the workshop 3. Hood unlocked 4. Out of the vehicle 5. Hood opened 6. Diagnosis initiated 7. Diagnosis completed 8. Diagnosis completed . . . . . . In doing so the candle costs just 40 euros… Do you still carry this or go to free workshops?

Hi people, [HAPPY*] did any of you have any experience with this car?? I think the car is brilliant in terms of design and price/performance ratio, but I don’t know if it can keep up with the design in terms of quality and durability! Would it be friendly if someone could say so, since I am superior to add a coupe (from year 97, however, my budget is limited to approx. 700€ and models are beyond the 100,000 km limit as well as so excluded) Thank you in advance Murcielago

Hej together, I noticed that Mercedes will present a 7-speed automatic at the IAA and will then primarily want to integrate it into the stronger models. From my point of view, this arms race makes relatively little sense when it comes to the number of gears. Should the engine developers rather build decent engines again, which conjure up a beautiful full torque curve from the cellar on paper. Then I can easily dispense with the x-th gear. What do you think about this? Why do you think the new automatic system makes sense?
