  • New Cooper S, what do you think?

    Hello, in about 1 week I get my Cooper S. I have a few questions about this. 1. Is there anything I should pay special attention to when handing over? A problem, which is perhaps already known? 2. There are many different opinions to drive in. I think that I will drive in the mini about 1000km. Different speeds and not over 4000 revolutions. After that an oil change and then so slowly give right gas. Is that okay? 3. Is there anything wrong with this? 3. what, tips and tricks you should consider as a mini newcomer? Dangers or problems that you can avoid immediately? I am grateful for every tip. Can’t wait for it anymore! Gruss Hubi

  • Stop immediate loading

    Hello together, finally we were able to pick up our Enyaq 50 on Wednesday and drive with it since then enthusiastically around in the vicinity. I can only say a great car! One thing I don’t understand yet as an e-car newcomer. How is the charging process triggered? Does this always make the e-car or can the Wallbox initiate (keyword PV-guided charging)? In the Enyaq is in the charging menu instant charging. There you can choose from 50 – 80%. Underneath is still “direct charging up to 0%”. Ic h would like to initiate the loading start itself – either via the wallbox or via the my-skoda API interface. Is this possible at all?

  • Skoda ENYAQ IV60 suitable for longer tours?

    Hello. We have had an ENIAQ IV60 since December. This year there are two holiday trips from the south of Germany to the North Sea. Will be so easy 830 KM. The ENIAQ will be equipped with two people with holiday luggage and two wheels on the rear carrier. Do you think that such a long journey can be reasonable with the electric car? Consider seriously to avoid for the two trips on a burner from the family. Have never done longer trips with the ENIAQ. In winter it shows a range of almost 300 km after a full load. In spring/summer it will probably be a little more. At ABRP it shows 5 charging stops with a total duration of 1 hour and 22 minutes. It is already unusual, if one had come up as a previous diesel driver almost with a tank filling. The IV80 would certainly have had a larger range. But also more expensive than the IV60.

  • Park Assistant at Enyaq

    Hello, actually I had to renew before my current pass. In view of various problems that can be solved first (maximum weight on garage deck and charging problem), I noticed of course the long delivery time. However, I would let this work for me. Much more is a thorn in my mind that there is no parking assistant at Enyaq. He was announced, but then seems to have disappeared from the sales brochures without singing or sounding. Anyway. Ic h swear by my grandmother’s beard that my next car has certain features in it MUST. One of them is automatic parking. Has anyone heard rumors or ideally even secured information, as it is ordered from the Enyaq around the park assistant? Is it perhaps known when there will be something coming? Whether there will be something coming? But whether this function was announced for ever and ever, because of what-white-I? I have really dollen Bock to order to s But I want this feature. I don’t want to order without Park-Assi.

  • What’s good, what’s bad.

    Here everyone can post their general experiences and questions. What do you find good, what do you find bad. I think it’s stupid that you don’t see which transmitter you’re listening to when you’re in the vehicle menu or anywhere else. I would also like the total kilometers and the battery level in % next to the battery symbol in the cockpit.

  • Enyaq Facelift – News and Discussion

    ID.3 will receive a small facelift in the spring of 2023. It was introduced in 2019. Is it foreseeable when the Enyaq will also be refreshed (from 2020)? 2024? What do you think?

  • BMW Schwarz uni Lackproblem

    Following a recommendation in the F07/10/11-Forum from BMW, I present the following problem: Since handing over I have now exactly eight weeks my thickness. Never placed under suspicious foliage and properly cleaned in the washing system (and twice by hand with the friendly) show large areas of clouding, pale points and “running tracks” on the paint surface. In places the paint is noticeable no longer smooth. Wiping is not possible. Especially affected are the bonnet and the Kof ferraumdeckel, see below. I am perplexed. Are lacquer problems known? Does anyone know remedy?

  • Scratches in bumper (still possible without smart repair?)

    Hello boys (and girls) 😉 … and to the professionals among you, something unsightly happened to me with a customer car (parking/destroying/stove/w212) about 95% of the damage I was able to polish out. Now there are still a few small scratches (see pictures) Question to you: – can you polish them away – if yes – what is most suitable – method? medium? I have stopped, because I fear to sand off too much when polishing too long (hmmm – no idea) or can this only be done with Smart Repair (ink-in) thank you for your help

  • BMW 530i less consumption than Lexus GS Hybrid !!!

    Finally, the engineers show that even a normal petrol engine without a hybrid can be more economical and thus more environmentally friendly. And that with such great driving performance.http://magazin.autoscout24.de/…/mz_ng_2007_10_bmw5erfacelift.asp With this BMW people have found a powerful answer without the still very cumbersome hybrid system. No space loss, no weight increase and berry-strong anyway. Lexus, attracts you warm, so BMW can make a big deal in America. Throw against you !!! And in D there will be many to think if the somewhat unsightly (tasting question) Lexus is really still interesting because of the alleged eco-advantage. My rating: A thick 1 : 0 for BMW (Even if I am not a BMW fan)

  • Wagon R+ – Lambda probe doesn’t want out.

    Moin, I have a problem: I drive a Wagon R+, 2005 (or was 2004)… well, no matter. just under 60tkm down. now the MKL lights up and the workshop said that the Lambda probe in front of the cat is broken. they wanted about 275 euros. so suitable denso universal probe ordered (to judge the cable colors of the old one is also a universal probe and not original). now I can only get the old one absolutely not out. also with lambdasonden-nut I can put on, but by the schli tz for the cable, the nut always turns on a thing. self pressing helps nochs. the thing doesn’t move. crawl oil I sprayed on it for two days, even if you don’t want to do it on the exhaust manifold. helped 0. I don’t want to get the whole thing over too often, because otherwise the 6-angle screw connection, where you put the nut on, is still down. what is there? add new curved ones? warm up? ice spray I didn’t have there and can’t try it. n. do you have a good idea? I already know that changing the sonde is really sometimes up to the hair (I have read here already). but sometimes you are lucky and someone has the saving idea 😉 Thanks already in advance.
