  • “Bluemotion bug”? –> Battery problems

    Hello, I had 3 strong battery discharges so far, which I can’t explain. The first time the battery was completely empty after a weekend. That’s 2 months ago. The last two times the car had to fight hard to jump on (the battery sign flashed on it). Only last Saturday it happened again. In the afternoon I drove the car out of the garage to pull the tire screws. When I drove it back into the garage and parked it I went a little too early from the Kup It did not make any jumper but it was noticeable that I went a tick too early from the clutch. In the evening it then came to the mentioned cause problem again. Can it be that at this too early from the clutch go the stop/start automatic was triggered or otherwise any electrical processes that lead to a fast discharge? Or is simply the battery defective? It should be noted that I have the car every day approx. 50km drive. Occasionally there is a day where I do not move the car, but that is very rare. Greeting Michael

  • Difference BC consumption versus real consumption

    I ask here in the round of renowned VW drivers and inside It has been discussed again and again in make thread here, but output I have not seen yet, therefore I would like to open up an own topic. According to up! drivers but also as shown under www.spritmonitor.de , probably with many drivers , there is a deviation of the BC to the real consumption. so on average by half a litre, that are expressed in % with the low consumption already worlds… I ask so stupidly, because with my old Smart, I had retrofitted a BC and it also showed deviations at first. but there I was able to adjust again and again by a few %, until after approx. 3-4 refuellings then quite exactly tuned… So, is there any possibility there to adjust something?

  • Steering “round”

    I’ve had my up! for a few weeks and I’ve noticed that the steering is kind of uneven. When I steer with a lot of feeling, I notice minimal rest when you can put it that way. Nothing bad, but once you notice something like that, you always pay attention to it. Is that normal with the up!, unlike my last beetle, for example, or can a ball bearing or similar be defective?

  • Take UP! as EU car 🙂 🙁 ?

    Hello, with my small budget I have long thought about which car it should be. For me it is the UP! in the Take Up Version (Cool and Sound) , the Skoda Citigo and the Hyundai I10 (Mod. 2015 ). The cost is all pretty much the same (with the equipment at VW and Skoda is almost identical and the Hyundai still has something on it) He is meant for my wife, who drives with it maybe 1500 kilometers a month. Somehow I tend to the VW. How do you see this?

  • Not possible in winter?

    Hello, wanted to ask today at the “Friendly” (well, more or less) winter tire prices for the up my wife. As summer tires are from factory “185/55 R15 82T”. Wanted to know the price for this size, or “175/65 R14 82T”. Prefers steel rim, because my wife slightly overlooks curb stones in the snow. I was then told that only the size of 165/70 R14 82T registered in the bill would fit on the up. On my note of the delivery size (185er) and the still 5 other size I then got the answer, which only applies to summer tyres (?) for winter tyres went only the 165 (others they wouldn’t have). I know that not all sizes have a snow chain clearance, but so? In the EC certificate there is no restriction (summer/winter) with it. Can anyone tell me if the statement of the contract workshop is correct, or if “only” should be sold. Thank you.

  • Navigation equipment Mount for VW up!

    Hello, I’ve had a new take-up for over 2 weeks! unfortunately without Maps & More. I still want to have a navigator in the car. I don’t want to stick it to the windshield. Now I’m thinking about whether there are possibilities to mount the navigator in the vents (rather unlikely, as it’s not the usual slots). Do you have a ignite idea or experience? Already a thank you in advance.

  • missing service interval display

    Hello dear forum members. I turn to you and hope you’re not angry because it’s about the Seat Mii. Since the Mii is technically identical with the Up, I thought you might be able to help me. My wife’s Mii was bought at the end of 08.2013 ( Style, 60 HP ). In the service booklet is marked: “time and performance-dependent service ” so it’s a fixed interval, so every 15,000 km. On the vehicle data print in the service booklet you can also see the code Q14, so it’s true all. Now after exactly one year of use and approx. 8000 km driven, the instrument cluster does not report. No sound and no “insp”. I brought the car to the oil change and asked why the car does not call for anything. I was told that the interval display only reports at a flexible interval. This means that I have to pay attention to when the car has to be serviced? For the oil change I paid fabulous 180 euros, on the maintenance list a packet of gemac Do you have any idea what this is all about? Second question to you: Why is there nothing in the user’s manual about the amount of engine oil? Only the tank and reserve content is described. Otherwise nothing, neither oil, nor liquid coolant quantity. Strange. I thank you in advance and hope you can help me a little bit. Have a nice weekend!

  • Comparison test up / i10/ Aygo

    on Vox automobil on 12.10.2014, you can see here: http://www.voxnow.de/…/the-mondial-de-lautomobile.php?… Oh wonder, the i10 wins (as three- not about as four-cylinder, which is also available as 1.2), among others wg. best engine lt. test, great driving comfort etc., moreover good transmission, above all best price/performance incl. warranty performance. In the up the steering, the chassis, the best braking path (but in general not special, unfortunately!) and the good side guide It is a pity that the tyre widths are not identical in such “comparative tests”, so information on the pure braking distance is only limited and meaningful. I laughed most when comparing the test car prices: up: € 16,337,- (60 hp, 4-door, leatherette, maps&more, climate etc.) i10: € 12,960,- (67 hp, 4-door, Klim) i10: € 12,960,- (67 hp, 4-door, Klim) aautomatik) Aygo: € 12.350,- (68 hp, 4-door, ???) If the up came from my home country WOB and would therefore be produced in Hochlohnland D and Made in Germany, I would still like the price, we know our cost of living. But like the other two, it comes from a low-wage neighbouring country. So before all of me stone here again: I still find the up great and very pretty, but for the actually offered but too expensive, VW sign in front and back to or behind. And I don’t like the Aygo, sorry Toyota, which is probably because of my age.

  • first ride with my new UP

    Hello! Now it’s finally time. The driver’s license just passed, with an Audi A1 Diesel. And my UP is already finished. But I can only pick it up in Wolfsburg in 4 weeks. Unfortunately, I won’t have a chance to drive until then. Of course, that’s a little unfavorable. Nevertheless, I’d like to pick it up myself. So that’s my first drive after the driver’s license test and with a gasoline engine. The anticipation is huge, but I’m also worried about many. don’t embarrass me at the same time when picking up and choking off the car. Maybe you can give me some tips for the start. In peace I will try it at home anyway. LG Janina
