  • Vehicle operation – are we really that stupid?

    Hi! I write this here in the security forum because the correct operation of the vehicle is quite safety-relevant. Who has just seen the “Act07” broadcast on Sat1, has noticed the embarrassing appearances of the car users. People who don’t accomodate their NSL, did not know how the bonnet opened or where the oil is controlled – is there only “worst of” sorted out from the photos or are “we” really so ignorant? I mean this with the new BMW of really no measuring station b has more, ha tmich in the first moment where I saw the 1 time also wondered – the cockpit display was but no problem for me to call up. Maybe there is the computer generation advantages… Do you all know where and how everything works in the car? Or did there ever aha experiences as jmd show you something “new” – like my mother when I told her that you can also turn on the interior light at the Corsa when you pull on the light switch MfG

  • End Light Compulsory Austria – Fog lights allowed further?

    Hello people, question above all to the Austrian colleagues here – with introduction of the light on the day duty in Austria 2 years ago was allowed (which was forbidden until then) with limitation light and fog lights (and without dipped light) to drive by day and good visibility. Now the light duty has fallen again, it is of course allowed to continue driving with dipped light, also automatic daytime driving light circuits (that have let some do) – where the dipped light or the But what I can find out (also not zb on the ÖAMTC homepage) is whether the manual (so not fixed installed) switching on of limit light and fog lights without dipped light in the day is still allowed in good visibility or again – as before the light duty – is forbidden. Did any of you hear about it? Lg Pete

  • I would like to refuel…but where….and what!?!

    No, this is not supposed to be an E10 thread, and I would also like to avoid this being discussed here whether it is tolerated or not. YES; he would…but he actually wants 98ers and he should get that today too…well note. I have 5 (!) refueling to dig off until I could buy SUper + at a reasonable price (good,…doof expressed….less extremely shameful price). And it wasn’t something my account was empty (ok, that almost) or I had forgotten the car. …NOT ANYTHING DOES NOT SPEAK MORE!!!! Almost all the columns were either “defected” , “out of operation” or simply “LEER”. Only E10 is full and always available. But what should I do with the Rotze ?! If I want to buy a Corny bar, then you can not offer me a Bounty and say “Colour fits almost, shape also…just try if it tastes good…” I drove past a gas station….I would have liked to read the sign. But even at 30km/h was d It’s just too long… Super, Super +, Super E10, LPG,Natural gas, Diesel, BioDiesel…. I just want to refuel normally!!! Is that so hard? I’m used to the fact that the shit is so exciting…I’ll rip off to ten.. at least. But that I’m now only listening to E10 teachings on the tank and I’m supposed to buy n new car if I’m afraid that can’t be. In the end it was an Aral petrol station where I (hopefully) Supe r plus got…unfortunately for 1,589. The reason is that I have been suspected of getting E10 turned on as a super at the gas stations of the Kaufland/Kaufmarkt chain for about two weeks. The car is drinking more and is no longer running. Is this a usual picture at the moment? Unfortunately I can’t drive several gas stations and check, that would be 20€ again… Or is that just so here? Is this a temporary bottleneck? Would you like only LPG…but what about the start gasoline…ifs because in the end there is only E10 after a few weeks only water and alcohol…

  • Traffic law, who knows about it?

    Hello, last night (light dusk) had the following case on the A31 (unlimited km/h): Car on the right track, with approx. 220km/h. Traffic volume low, i.e. all 500-1000m 2-3 cars. See in front of me 2 cars driving one after the other on the right lane. Notice that they are much slower than me, and try to change early on the left lane to show also that I am much faster. Well than I am about 100m (really appreciated!) on the left lane. I know a situation here in the north more often, but this car had no yellow number plates, so I didn’t expect the action. So I thought about a full braking, but then I went over to the right lane and still so just before the overtaking back to the left… in German: I overtook the car on the right. Everything else would be in a full range. The car that I had overtaken on the right was as wild as the horn of light. Now my question, IF it should show me (which I don’t believe): Who is right? Had I had to slow down my speed in advance so far that I could have braked, topic: forward-looking driving, vehicle must have been brought to a halt in the field of view, or: If the car had not been allowed to slip out in front of me, since I had to use an essential h higher speed has arrived. Of course I tend to version 2, ;-), but is that really legal? Greetings, Stefan

  • Interfering cyclists in road traffic

    Hello together, since the good weather again disturbs me the cyclists, who take absolutely no consideration in road traffic! In particular I watch the so-called racing drivers there. They drive mostly in groups, hinder the car traffic and view the road as their property. People can’t really go that way. Recently I have observed how such a bird still telephoned during the cycling and drove crisscross on the road. Is this also something to you already pa That’s very dangerous, isn’t it?

  • Can such a thing be a serious offer???

    Hello, I have currently hired my car for sale at Ebay Classifieds. A few hours after I placed the ad, someone in broken German contacted me if the car was in a technically good condition and what price I would like to have for it. I referred him to the small defects listed in the ad and the indicated price as VB. Then he offered me even 200€ more than I had originally indicated as VB, the car wrote from a R eederei on site would be picked up and he would transfer the money to my account. Have already experienced a lot. My old winter car also took the Poles from the yard without vehicle documents, but a pre-transfer to my account??? Who buys the cat in the bag. It is also not 200€ but at least 4200€. Has any of you ever had similar experiences??

  • Engine damage shortly after private car purchase

    Hello, so I’m going to describe the situation: My sister bought a Fiat Punto `02 with 85000km privately in August of this year. Among other things, in the offer at Mobile was the note:” Super Carefree: Customer Service 05/07″. So now she has the wagon 3 months, when she noticed a rat, by the way, she is well 1000km far in the meantime. The rat came after her description from the engine room, after which she drove the car on the shortest way into the workshop. first diagnosis: 2 liters of oil were missing, but no oil lamp has lit up yet. Then the final diagnosis: engine damage, bearing entered, a barrel saw, because the piston bolt shifted from its original position and then hit the barrel. Oh yes, the seller no longer had the checkbook of the vehicle. Then on today’s call it turned out that he had the “customer service” not done in a specialist workshop, but “black” yes and if you calculate the middle running reading you get for May – August 4250 km and the 1000km = 4250km. In time a car can not lose 2 liters of oil if externally no leak could be detected. So for me the whole thing sounds like this in court: Either the buddy is to the fact that he made the customer service black and risks a procedure for his workshop, or the seller made a wrong vehicle description and practically no customer service was carried out. Can anyone give me a hint whether it makes sense to do so, it also has a legal insurance! Thanks for your help!

  • near-parkrempler

    who of you can say something to me about the following situation: when parking on a parking lot of a gardening farm, I put back again, since I was standing sloping in the parking lot. because the parking space was narrow, I did this slowly and carefully and especially made sure not to tangle at the front. suddenly my parking help shrills up, I immediately (luckily in time) foot on the brake. pulls close behind me (about 50cm) a car still past to park 2 parking spaces further. at the off I asked the driver if they noticed that almost an accident had happened if I hadn’t slowed down fast enough. I got the answer (type indignant pensioner) jaaaaaa, they had to wait! my answer to it: they saw that I was still standing and was putting back! why did they try to come after me quickly then? they risked a potential accident there! they again: no, they had s After all, I have to wait! I again: but they see that I hardly had a chance to see them!!! then they can’t just drive!!! then I didn’t get an answer, just an indignant look, then she helped her man out of the car, who couldn’t do it anymore. who was right? is that clearly regulated? I always thought §1 was not at the beginning for nothing! to make this clear again: the other is, while I’m waiting back Manoeuvring after me and pushing by with little distance.

  • Sell a car, please look in and say your opinion.

    Hello first of all, I have a problem, which I would like to put here in the forum to all. And this is about, I sold my car last week (privately to private) he arrived and paid cash. Couple of days later he called me again and told me that the lock on the driver’s door is broken and the car can not be opened from the outside and I should participate for the cost (300€). the car was sold without any kind of gun services. If I did not follow this he has informed me that otherwise he will withdraw from the purchase contract (anything of 2 weeks right of withdrawal mean he???). I have had no idea of the broken lock and do not see that I have to participate now. Can you tell me who is right??? must I pay the reperature ??? problem is that he has not notified the car as it looks yet…. I would be very grateful for your help. gruss MT friend

  • E10 – European or not?

    Quotation: Directive 2009/30/EC of the European Parliament obliges all Member States to market petrol with a maximum of 10 % by volume fuel ethanol (bioethanol) under the industry abbreviation E10 (of ethanol 10%), thereby reducing dependence on the oil-producing countries. According to the EU Directive, for vehicles which do not tolerate this type E10, the existing petrol as a so-called conservation site must continue to be offered at least until 2013 After that, only the petrol type Super Plus will be available for the vehicles that do not tolerate the fuel with 10% ethanol. Diesel vehicles are not affected by the change. So it is in Wikipedia. Now, however, I read in the local press that car manufacturers from other European countries do not align their vehicles at all to E10, even warn against refueling this fuel when visiting Germany. Does anyone know more about this? Is E10 again a German (tube-creep) drive, similar to the exhaust badges, whose effectiveness today is proven to tend towards zero? Many greetings, Markus.
