Hallößen, I have the following problem, on 01.04. I drove home with my Golf IV TDI, I stood at the traffic light and drove off, turned on into the second gear when I realized once again that my car took the gas net more properly, then I switched on to the third and also here he did not take the gas any more 100%. Then I stepped on the gas again and then the car pulled at once like a flash and went into the 6000er area and went no longer for unfathomable r one minute back (there I was already off the gas again), the other it squirted in the back very strongly white from the exhaust. Now my question??? What could be over to my car?? What costs would I have to reckon with??? Because the workshop said after a short look into the car that the cylinder cop seal, the pistons and the turbocharger is over, in the worst case it is a motor damage!!! I would like to thank you very much for your answers and wish you a nice Easter!! Di e collolili

Hello, didn’t know where to write it in, because I am active in the G2 forum here ! I just made a phone call with the FH of my choice, where I would like to study car technology from autumn and get good and bad news. The good news: Since I already made my Fachabi business / trade in 1998, I would probably come under the 10% of the chosen ones who come in over the waiting time, because my cut was not the best at the time. The bad: 500€ tuition fee per semester and you can’t pay My problem: I am 29 and I have to finance my life (car, apartment, insurance, loans). Is there any promotion for people from the profession (scholarships, bafög etc.), I would probably not get a loan and my parents would pay me a little bit, but about 1200-150€ a month I need to be able to live as before and that’s quite simple life I find. Have your tips, links, ideas etc., just these nigen among you who have studied or are finished? I am very grateful for every tip ! Greetings Thomas

Hello dear Motor-talk Friends I saw Frontal21 in ZDF last time, it was about the installation of a so-called secondary current filter in the oil cycle of petrol engines, with which it is possible to drive a very long distance without changing oil. It is only admitted at regular intervals additives to maintain the lubricating capacity of the oil and other properties. Among other things, it was reported that with a VW 1.9TDI motor a test run of 150000km without problems completed It is certainly understandable that the automotive industry is not interested in a standard installation of such filters, especially since of course every quantity of customers would no longer come to the workshop for an oil change. Not to mention the ecological aspect. mfg Christian

Hello, I have a problem maybe with one can give a advice. I bought my Passat 3b V6 4Motion on 11.01.2006 in Wolfburg from a large VW dealer. First of all I got no grants or similar…I just got a normal contract in my hand where also in it stands that I forego warranties. So with the Passat already when buying the airbag lamp lit… the seller told me that this error was fixed and that the a lles again works, only the error would have to be read out then the lighting would also stop…as stupid as I am I believed it. (you could do that yourself at the moment nihct because your reading device is defective at the moment) Ok then about a week later I drove to my VW Wrkstatt and had it read out.So what was of course the lighting did NOT listen to it be something else=teureres. Was then still 3 times in the workshop nobody got the error away. So today the let ze Werksatt visit I told you before, if you don’t get the mistake away then please find out what it is. Conclusion: -Passenger airbag no longer available -Side airbags after a trigger only stuffed in the near and seam closed so it is probably an accident car but in the contract is “not Baknnt” whether accident or not So the purchase is now over a year ago and warranties had not received anyway, but such a car to sell is not normal? or!???!!??? Can I take legal action now?

The first common-rail diesel from Volkswagen will be launched next year! The 2.0 TDI with 170 hp pump nozzle will be replaced by an equally strong common-rail TDI, which will be used in the GOLF SUV. Suksessive will then switch all 3- and 4-cylinder TDIs to common-rail technology. Thus, the Golf VI as diesel will only be available as common-rail TDI, since by 2008 50% of all VW diesels will be equipped with this state-of-the-art technology. Siemens:http://www.siemensvdo.de/press/releases/corporate/2006/SV-200604-006-d.htm The 6- and 8-cylinder TDIs will be the common rail TDIs already existing in Audi (A4, A6, A8) and will replace the corresponding pump nozzle TDIs in this segment.

on my vehicle was criticized that I did not have sufficient ground clearance. I have an advertisement because of violation of §19(2) and §30. my car is a traffic hazard because I have a lower ground clearance than 7 cm. the operating permit is extinguished. fact: I have an additional spoiler on the car, this is registered, had at the entry 6cm to the ground. at the entry of the chassis the spoiler was already on. the spoiler was registered to me several months later , I wanted to have that for safety. all minimum dimensions (rad middle/bördelkannte are adhered to) stand at the soft plastic spoiler to the floor are about 6cm. I have dealt extensively with the topic and am still of the opinion that my operating permit is not extinguished. I do not want to pay the fine of 50 euro and 3 points. can one help me further? objection I put in with the following reasons: – the vehicle was loaded – the area was not 100% just – the continued journey was not forbidden to me – not even the vehicle documents were checked on the spot – there is no paragraph that regulates a minimum ground clearance – a concrete case of a traffic danger is not available – I have the confirmation of the tuv that everything is ok – the tuv has entered the spoiler – I was already with the hu with the spoiler (without defects) – the suspension has already been registered with the installed spoiler – I have the court judgment of the olg köln zum erlischen der be – die registrte messungen gleich gleitt gleich with the settings of the suspension – 19(2)StVZO is already contradicted because the spoiler has been registered the objection is allegedly rejected, because my car has such a low spring path that it can not get 3cm deeper when loaded… this is how theachbearbbeiterin explained to me. the policeman will of course testify that the floor was just… another reason came to my mind later and indeed the vehicle was not completely springed out, by the previous aprupte brake the vehicle is springed in and thus deeper. this is quite common with such tough pressure steps as sports suspensions. would be great if one could help me further or had facts, court judgments or similar to this soch. PS: if there should be a lawyer among you, there must be no legal advice, it is enough if you explain to me what you would do if something like that happened to you… Urte il des OLG Hamm of 06.08.1999 Judgment of the BGH 3rd Civil Senate of 16 May 1991 Judgment of the Higher Regional Court Cologne of 28.03.1995 are known to me so far… and I find also helpful for me…

Hello, I am currently the owner of a Corsa C and in May my leasing contract expires. And now I wanted to buy a VW Kombi because I become a father. I have already decided that I want a TDI because I drive my 20000 KM in the year. Now the big questions arise for me which VW Kombi I get to choose from Bora, Golf or Passat-Vaiant. I drove the Passat b3 1.8 from my wife her stepfather and the performance of 125hp in the form are my own I would like to ask you to help me. You may want to help me from the cars Pro and Contras in question. I would like to thank you in advance, even if you would like to have such a ride.

new bumper is at home. this can not be mounted with a large number mark. therefore I would like to try if I can get a small number mark. it is clear that I need a entry for this. deeper than the permissible 20cm it would be, about 15cm. so far I only know the layers from the stvzo §60 design and mounting of the official number mark I have seen several kfz with the small number mark. so as example, a8, a4, bora, each front and rear with a small number. I would like to do that now. just how? I would be satisfied with a number in the format of a letter. I have heard so far what about equipment with conversion costs etc., is there something? the tuev examiner on the spot could not give me a precise return and on good luck I don’t want to ruin the bumper… please no advice like: “can you forget”, “what the stupid sense” etc. by the way, my neighbor has a stick character in the size of the shoe I don’t know how to get something like that. I guess I don’t have to mention all this in a legal way, but I’m afraid I’m too expensive for me, or I don’t know how to get something like that.

Yesterday morning my passat didn’t start. The cloudy inner light pointed towards the battery empty/caputt. So called hotline. It worked great, a workshop checked in and wanted to send the tow truck. Diagnosis on the phone was also: battery empty/caputt. The tow truck came after about an hour. I found that still OK, especially since I could wait in the apartment. I asked why he didn’t just start outside and I then drive myself into the workshop: “Then I get from VW kei So 1.5 hours after the emergency call, I was in the really huge car house in Freiburg, 7 km away. “You left something there.” Aha. “What?” Light? Radio? Is it only I know that in the case of the cases, all this turns off itself? “I need the registration.” “It’s in the car.” Look at me – arrived at me like “Go ahead, get it.” Show the service booklet, that went auc h. I asked if you could check the problem right away, but he said: “There is a new battery only on guarantee, if you would check the old one correctly – and that lasts.” The car was not even looked at let alone handed over and was still there after 1.5 hours like unloaded. Super. “There is no car that costs.” Twice vigorously contradicted – oh no, there is “mob”. But there is no one there. So wait. The question why you don’t get to rent a car right away. At 75,000 km in 1.5 years it would be possible that I would have it in a hurry. After an hour I was offered a coffee. In the waiting corner (at 10:30 am) 1-2 days old daily newspapers are located. Aha, so you read the current one for the first time. Not bad, but does not make a good impression. At once someone calls me and after 45 minutes finally orders the car rental, which then after 10 Three hours after the whole thing I finally sat in the caddy. People were all friendly but unable to do something like service. Of course, no call back all day, today in the car park called “Car is ready.” Super, why did I give them my business card? So look for phone number and ask, until I can pick it up: “A car with the license plate we don’t have here.” Class, fits into the picture. Just further connected to anyone, I can again vo In conclusion: A huge effort for a lapalie and the customer is still dissatisfied. If I hadn’t been in the middle of the move (tool not here yet), I would have started the car myself or loaded it briefly and had it checked in the workshop if necessary. I wouldn’t have said anything if there had been hell going on in the car dealership. However, the relationship between employees/customers in the service room was about 5 to 1 (it’s a really big car dealership). And why do I have the feeling all the time that it doesn’t matter to everyone except me? Why do I expect a few words like “I’m sorry about your car, but we can fix it again?” Sorry for the length, but now I feel better greeting Eike

What’s that always a mess. Wanted to get new seals yesterday for Vento trunk lock and cable cases and taillights and then the one with which all of them have been dropped since 2007. Why can’t you get a teile for a 9 year old car anymore. That’s not the only one at VW Is this another measure to push us to buy new cars?
