  • Reliable vehicle for regional transport tasks wanted! Budget 3-4000.-Eur

    Dear forum community! I am now looking for an adequate replacement for my S124. The following criteria should apply: 1. Practical – suitable for small transport tasks + AHK. (must not be a transporter – combo is sufficient) 2. Application area mainly short distance small town/country 3. Does not have to be beautiful. (from appearance) 4. Should be cheap up to max. 3-4,000.- Eur and thus hold ~ 3-6 years. (per year ~1000.-) 5. annual km performance ~ 5000km 6. Robust, maintenance-friendly or not Very susceptible (wear parts like brakes, tires,… except – can I do it myself) 7. Spare parts rather cheap – as Japanese/Asian traps mostly out – at least my experience in the past! Now I have already looked a little and considered the following: 1. Fiat Doblo 2. Chevrolet Nubira 3. Nissan Tiida 4. Citroen xsara Picasso Is Astra/Vectra Kombi or Citroen Xsara Picasso what? What recommendation do you have? What is it worth paying attention to? (There are also innerhale) b of a model better and worse engine variants,…) I’m a little helpless – because I don’t really have an overview on the market! (What is problematic or reliable?) Thank you very much for helpful tips!

  • The time is ripe, I want a new one from the u. middle class/compact. (used)

    Hello people! I am born in the middle of 30, on the coast, but have been living with Stuttgart for many years. Since I have two children, I bought a Renault Kangoo in 2011 (2010). So far so good. I don’t need the space anymore (cars, etc.) and want more comfort equipment and above all more economical. In which direction should I orient myself if I am looking for a economical, very reliable vehicle (whereby the Kangoo dbzgl. also did not disappoint me)? Automatic gearbox, climate automatic and cruise control must be and of course with 4/5 doors. (where I would like to go in Right Fliesheck instead of “Golf-Form”) Budget 20000€. No diesel. No Super useless vehicle. Clearly over 100hp. I have no idea what I should/could buy, what fits in the price frame, am brand-free. I stay stuck again and again with the Toyota Prius III, is also due to the fascination of the technology. ” are larger (Skoda Octavia e.g.) and probably not more economical than, the Kangoo, which runs 8 liters on 100km short distance/city. Which vehicles from the last 4-5 years would be recommended? Thank you for your answers!

  • Search Explanation for stupid right-hand turner circuit..

    Good morning.. I always observe a “funny” situation at 2 traffic lights with electric right-hand turner arrow in my surroundings (both traffic lights are about 60 km away from each other and in 2 different districts). Time sequence: 1. The traffic lights are on red. For left-hand turner, straight-hand turner and right-hand turner. 2. The traffic lights are on red. For left-hand turner, straight-hand driver. The electric green right-hand turner arrow starts to shine. The right-hand turner starts to the right. 3 The traffic light is on red. For left-hand turner, straight-wheeler. The electric right-hand turner arrow stops to shine. The right-hand turner stops, because for them the “large” red traffic light is now also on. By the way, the right-hand turner (or run over the red traffic light) stops when the arrow goes off again. It doesn’t turn on red, but goes off. 4. One second later switches the complete traffic light on green. That is, the right-hand turner fa The green right turner arrow starts at the traffic light with a bright green right turner arrow, at the moment when they are directly at the traffic light. This results in a full braking of the right turner. Only to start up again in the following second, since the traffic light has meanwhile switched to total-grues. Why is the right turner arrow then not permanently placed on Gruen between situation 3 and 4? At these traffic lights it comes regularly to full-brakes, I myself have not yet experienced an accident at these traffic lights.. but can be good.. By the way: The cross traffic or oncoming traffic always has a red traffic light at Situation 3 and 4. so it can’t be there.. this “shrinking” is just very dangerous.. green green green green green *ZACK* ROT! *1 second later* green green green green.. Gruss yo-chi edit: Situation in Landshut: Google Maps The right-wing Abbieger comes from the west and wants to turn right to Sueden. the intersection. Situation in Freising: Google Maps The right-hand turner comes from South-West and wants to turn right towards Obi after Sueden.

  • New combo searched

    Hello, I’m setting it here because I don’t find a cross-brand forum, if there is a purchase advice department here I ask the mod to postpone it. So I’m looking for a kombi, should not be older than 2005 to 15000 euro. I would have thought of a passat, as an alternative to a Bmw 316 touring. Honestly, however, I have hardly any idea, especially not about reperature susceptibility etc. I need the car for about 10000 km a year as a family coach. Would you like to take a bus from a or should I think of another brand that has a better price performance ratio? Thank you so much, excuse the still very general questions, I will clarify after further orientation. At the moment we are driving golf with which we are satisfied and Escort Kombi, which after 12J and only 115,000 km is increasingly broken and no longer economically repertory.

  • What do you think of park sensors?

    Moin Moin, yes, as mentioned above, I would like to know more about what you think of park sensors and which you can miss. A couple of me recommended the parking sensors from Mobilline, which should be very easy to install and are reliable, he thinks, and you can buy them at ebay or in the online shop at www.ovh-shop.de. I would like to make a picture of what there are of park sensors and what you recommend. there are different versions e.g. with beeps or with a agree the says stop, which sensors have a pleasant tone? thank you in advance MfG BurnyNator

  • High fuel price, everybody’s slowing down?

    Hi, wanted to know your opinion about whether you have had similar experiences. since I am on assembly, one drives quite a lot of autobahn. I have noticed more and more recently, that more and more cars do not drive faster than 120-130km/h, where earlier still 160-170km/h the average was. since I am now more “slower” on the road than before, I assume that it is also due to the fuel price with the others. did you also observe something like that? (even company cars or representatives don’t drive so fast anymore). mfg, patrick. EDIT: then the speed limit would be pointless….

  • Vibration in 4th and 5th gear

    Hello all, I drive a Megane Coupe (TCE 180) built in 2009. I bought the car at the end of 2011 and had not had any significant problems. I was good every 2 years during the inspection in the workshop. The car now has about 140,000 km. A few weeks ago I noticed that some vibrations can be felt when accelerating in the 4th and 5th gear between 65-80 KM/H (between 2000-3000 revolutions). At first I thought the accelerator or the gear lever would vibrate, but My co-drivers also feel these vibrations, so it affects the whole car. It is not extreme, but noticeable… and as soon as you have about 3000 revolutions or drive over 85 km/h everything is normal again. Hard to describe, it feels as if there is some imbalance in it or something back and forth commuting/hurling under the car or in the engine room. But as I said, only in the said frame and then everything is normal again. It is also only easy to feel, had already worried that the Employees from the workshop may not even notice what I mean. Because it didn’t leave me alone I went to a Renault specialist workshop and took a test drive with an employee. He also felt these “vibrations”. I left the car there to look for the error. Now I got a first call today: In the transmission oil would be many chips and one suspects the transmission would be in no good condition and should be replaced. Only price for the transmission: 4500 € I almost fell off the chair! Apart from these “vibrations” that I feel every now and then, the car drives quite normal and doesn’t make any funny noises or the like. In addition, the employee said that the problem might not have been solved yet, it could also be something with the ignition and wanted to know how to proceed now. I told him of course that I didn’t have the gearbox replaced for 4500 €, so I can buy a new car right away… Now I would like to pick up the car again tomorrow and ask the staff more precisely how they come up with it etc. and asked me to write down the defects so that I can inform myself in peace. Can it really be that a defective gearbox leads to the problems I described it comes to? Wouldn’t it always have to be a vibration/vibration? I can’t really believe it…but I’m not a specialist either…I’m a bit at a loss. and had similar problems with his Megane? Thanks and greetings

  • Engine damage tce115

    Hello, we received last week the diagnosis engine damage for our Megane year 2013, 65,000km. In February of this year we got a new engine control software, because the vehicle went into the emergency run because of a too low outside temperature (about -2 degrees ). Since this update was started, the vehicle jerks clearly noticeable at about 2100 rpm. We have claimed this in our workshop, a strongly lost spark plug on Zyl. 1 was found, This has not been corrected, however, since this is caused by the software, which has been confirmed by a Renaut technician in so far as the specialist workshop. The technician has dismissed our request with a “the customer must live with it” and has completed this…. Since July, we have now had a continuously increasing oil consumption, to the end, about 1 litre to 1000 km, this we have now claimed in the specialist workshop, which in this regard the Com pression of the individual cylinder tested, with the result that on Zyl. 3 the compression is below 6 bar and therefore is not sufficient, moreover the spark plug was completely smeared so that the insulation of the spark plug was no longer detectable —- engine damage…. We received a KV about the replacement of the engine in the amount of 6200 Euro (net), of which we get 50% on bulancy, the customer care takes over 1000 Euro (net) and the car house 500 Euro (net) thus have We have to mention that all the above mentioned problems have been reported except for the oil consumption during the warranty period. (Warranty extension) We are very dissatisfied as with Renault is handled with the customers and are not willing to pay these 1800 euros. We are really dissatisfied with our Megane, as the above mentioned defects were not the only ones, but the other problems have no connection with the engine damage. Now we are really dissatisfied with our Megane, because the above mentioned defects were not the only ones, the other problems have no connection with the engine damage. There are already similar cases with this engine and how has Renault reacted here? Would we be very happy about feedback.

  • Error message disappeared again (Electronic system error)

    Hello, today I had the attached error message (see picture) in combination with a warning sound when starting the engine. On the way home I stopped the vehicle again and started again, the same again. The vehicle has already suggested the next workshops as destination in the Navi. The vehicle has only been registered since November and 2500km driven. I then went to the Opel workshop and the error message was just gone again… the workshop could not do anything today. I was told that if no more errors are shown, I can continue to drive and only if the error comes back in the meantime to another Opel dealer in the workshop. The error message might have come due to some humidity or something, which is why it is just gone again… did the vehicle start again tonight, no error message. Do I have to worry about it? Did I have to read it and also because of the electrician’s vacation at the earliest next week? Do you ever have such an experience with such an error message?
