  • Sub-routed driving

    Hello, have my first car now for almost 3 months (VW up 60hp) so I still lack experience values. I depend on the statements of others. Mainly I drive in the city. On 5 or 6 days a week 11km back each, 11km. So now I naturally drive as fuel-saving as possible. I have read, however, that an undertouring driving can be harmful. But what does undertouring mean? So now I have tried everything possible with the new car to reduce the consumption. current driving mode (please do not drag over it, only well-intentioned advice): -Accelerate: Aisle for gear first gear up to 2000 revolutions, the rest after speed from 25 in the 3rd gear, from 37 in the 4th gear, from 45 in the 5th gear or if behind me hit a long time at the traffic light is then I switch the other too much also later -brakes: up to the rudder limit or roll out in the 5th gear (about 37km/h at idle speed) -Switch down: below 40 km/h in the 4th gear, below 30 km/h in the 3rd gear. Aisle, under 20 in the 2nd course In the flowing traffic I drive therefore around 1000 revolutions. My consumption is so at 4.2 l, but of course I have nothing of it in the long term if the engine has to suffer from it. And since I drive almost only in the city traffic, I will blow over the highway every month. Is 1x per month enough? Maybe you can give me tips or have long-term experiences with undertouring driving and possible damage LG Janina

  • Roof rack for VW UP

    Hello, has anyone already had experience with a roof rack for the up (2-door)? There are the original ones, then which of the accessories in steel or aluminium beams, some fit with 2- and 4-doors and cost only half, the original ones only – or. An accessory manufacturer / supplier, which is also known for its AHK, offers for small money an aluminum one. Who has already gained experience? Also what a rubber or plastic coating to avoid paint damage (the carrier part, which pushes from above on roof, is rubberized, but the other one, which pushes against it from below??) Thank you and greeting charly arthur

  • VW Up! 2013 squeaks when springing in/out; PU sockets and other dampers?

    Hello, our beloved 2013 VW up unfortunately has a disadvantage. For a long time we have had hinds of squeaking and cracking the feathers / dampers. I have also read it could be due to the rubber bushings. Therefore I think about changing the bushings to stiffer PU bushings. Maybe then also to change the dampers. Someone here experience / tips? I don’t want to put the Fzg. much deeper.

  • 60,000 inspection SEAT MII + brake discs + blocks + bearing triangular lecker

    Hello, my MII now needs the 60,000 km inspection + new discs and blocks + new bearings of the triangle handlebars. I got an offer from my free workshop, inclusive. Climate maintenance….€ 1,273 are called there ;( are these the current values to be reckoned with (Annex are net prices)? I find it very expensive, apart from the “reserve candle” that should be calculated for me here at a 3-cylinder… Morning greetings from the Hessian Rhön

  • Cover service

    Hello, service interval is 1 year or 15000km for the EcoUp. currently has 12400km in my car. Since there is a longer holiday trip in 3 weeks (2700km), I wanted to ask how much km you can cover the service? Is there reliable information for this? Drive the Citigo, but will not be different there. I will probably have the 14000km on the clock in weeks, and to make the service before the holiday, means to give away km/money. The car doesn’t matter if it is at 15000 or 160 00km gets his oil. However, I want to keep the intervals because of the guarantee…

  • Private sale of cars

    Hello to the round, I hope I am right here. I would like to sell my VW Up, year 2017 with 27000 km. He is top in order, no defects or damages. On my bid a gentleman from Austria registered himself. He would like to transfer the money to me and if the money was well written to my account, then he would have the car picked up from “his” forwarder. He himself cannot be present, the test drive is made by the people on the day the car was removed. He sent me his PA with ID number, but I still don’t know if it’s a phantom or not. Should I rather press for cash payment??? I’d rather. I have such a strange feeling… your experiences would be very important to me. Thank you in advance. LG Anke

  • Engine variants

    Hi, since I’m about to order an UP! my question. What really is the Utnerschied with the engines? are both the same size. only one 60hp and the other 75hp. With a friend that was at that time with a Civic only an air intake narrowing, taken out –> swups instead of the 75hp to the 90hp and saved 1500DM. So –> what’s mechanical/electronic different? Otherwise I’m still undecided –>complete or just the most necessary. Then give me Ford KA (98’i) n Payment and collect the change premium and thus come to almost 21% discount at the dealer. Can one at VW also possibly negotiate the first maintenances? Look forward me shcon to the answers.
