I have this portable PDA-Navisystem, which was sold 1 year ago in the Aldi. Especially often I don’t need it. Today was a day again. And what did the thing tell me: “No GPS signal” – and that over hours. Is such a message symptomatic for my device type (so far it had been mostly sporadic for a few minutes), or are the fixed installers sometimes affected by such messages? Even if the following question concerning the region itself I still put it: Did any of you still have this in the Ruhr region from 2 to 4 p.m.? I just have a point: Or is my GPS receiver in the bucket …?

I have read somewhere an article about rust prevention in modern cars. because in many hohlræumen sensors lie and some others in modern equipment, fearing rust prevention that safety-relevant functions can be set aside or even become dysfunctional. does any of you have information about this? is it really so “easy” to damage this technology? in Norway it is relatively normal to have new cars treated because of the high maintenance period. endwann has the topic but also relevance for Germany… liebe gruss oli

I would like to take up again the topic “Tempomat”: I drove with a C-Class a few days ago. There is the lever for the cruiser above the blinker. (also in need of getting used to, as I think, because we had already been snarled about our “turners”). But now it was the case that the operation of this part, not the one of the classic – known – cruiser, was defined, but actually only the top speed. So “Fuß vom Gas- and G And as soon as the set speed was reached, there was no more sprit. Now to my questions: – Is there this (special) function with our Volvos (now?) actually too? – I had asked here some time ago what the effect of cruise cars on fall distances looks like. Conclusion was at the time: speed can not be kept! Would that be for the Mercedes system a How does the cruise control reduce the speed when pressing the (-) button? Motor brake? Why couldn’t such a thing also work on falls? At least in the context of physics. I admit, some questions belong in the Benz forum, but I know you now and know that there are experts here.

Hello, I’ve been looking into the engine room for some time now and found (almost terrified) that the interior is pretty dirty. So I want to give the car an engine wash, because that’s not how it works (according to the motto: outside hui, inside pui)… Can you do something like this yourself? If so, what do you care, what do not do, etc.? Or rather let the professional do it? BoisBleu

I’m just wondering if there’s something like that in Germany: a village near voss in Norway*, with 30 inhabitants – practically all farmers, with 6 school children, heaps of sheep, a milk production of 500000 liters in the year and part of the unesco world heritage “nærøyfjord”, which has a really fæhrlichen away. I’ve already driven up there myself, the tunnel is long, partly open, unlit and the road from Schotter, moreover extremely narrow and in the very highest grade scary. ric Htig fies are such ice “gnubbel” created from dripping water in the dark tunnel and stændige rock slide and snow avalanches. at any rate, unesco prohibits the construction of a new path in the tunnel due to the world heritage status. now a private company offers to build a tunnel there – free if you can use the water power of a part of a river running in the rock and use the broken stone. however, the construction of the tunnel is not allowed… i Somehow grotesque. does anyone know æsimilar fælle? the article is by the way even ontopic not only because of the auto theme, but because of the illustrative image… dear gruss oli

Hi, I’m looking for a nice V70 and I’m working through different forums. Since I want to drive the future family combi still good 5-10 years, he should of course be in a good condition, not yet have much more than 100,000km on it and of course cheap 😉 Now I have often come across statements in the forums, where was not recommended to buy a V70 from 2001, because he probably had some child diseases, which should be fixed in 2002er. D a often came the statement: buy you rather the old model than nn 2001er. But since the elk from 2002 usually blow up our scarce budget of max. 11000€, now the question – were the new in the first year really so bad? Did I have to reckon with substantial repairs if I buy a mi 100tsd-140tsd km? I am just a little confused, because of course I don’t want to spend our money on a driving groschengrab, but find the newer model definitely far more beautiful. ahcja, one more thing – the car is to be converted to auto gas, so diesel is already falling directly out of the search pattern. Thanks already and dear greetings Ingo

Yes, a new great offer from VOLVO: A S80 2.0D. SUPER, I’m totally infatuated! Is exactly what I need: The 2.0D is a great engine, drive it now almost 55,000 km in my V50, without any problems! But the V50 is simply too uncomfortable on long distances. My worn back suffers! Did before drive two V70II – each 100,000 km, I know what I’m talking about. Therefore S80: even longer wheelbase, he has to drive like a juice. So book a test drive if the S80 after my front I didn’t expect the VOLVO to sell any more cars! 1) At my dealer’s fault: A S80 2.0D is unfortunately not available to him – end of the event! 2) On the Internet at the end of 2007 “Test weeks at VOLVO” clicked. A card from Cologne came with an invitation to the test drive at my dealer – who has no car. -there comes joy up. 3) In January 2008 again under Volvocars.de a test drive booked. Result: I got a test drive. e Peisliste and a colorful S80 picture book. -not so great joy anymore – Since then not heard of Volvo or mine anymore! Do they own no sales trainings with???? Result now: After six bought Volvis since the year 2000, I sneak around forced measures again at AUDI and BMW (A6 or 5er). Well known have other mothers also beautiful daughters! Volvo sleep further until you wake up, it is v i e l e i c h t too late !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best regards Jürgen

Hello everyone, I noticed that in all of Germany, less and less the turn signal is used. I don’t want to argue about regional use. It won’t be better. My request to all VOLVO drivers. Blinks whenever it’s necessary. It’s the safety of all!! I would be happy if I started a discussion here. Greeting Gunar

in the world is reported by a very interesting project – the signage forest is cut down, the traffic management is rebuilt and instead of more clearly regulated, “understood” and intuition should determine the behavior of all traffic participants. very interesting idea, perhaps a bit too idealistic…!? what do you think? dear gruss oli

Hello moose drivers, after which one has just digested the evil of the notorious left-wing drivers, it seems to me recently to give me a new immorality on Germany roads, at least for about 2 years this is more noticeable to me: the overtaking of 2-wheel drivers and parked vehicles despite counter traffic. I was already afraid several times for my outdoor mirrors. Does this only seem so extreme to me, or do you also watch it? If one then the people with light hooves or horn on themselves and their misrepresentation What do you think about it? By the way, if we’re already there: to thank you, if you let someone go or leave someone in a gap, is probably no longer contemporary… Greetings, Dirk, who still learned good behavior at the dance school…
