  • BR – Documentary

    Yesterday I saw a 30 minute report about China cars at the Bavarian Radio, are definitely interesting pictures, among others also from Qoros. Partially m.E. a bit prejudiced again, but I think at the moment it just doesn’t work differently. I always mind the statement about Brilliance, no question of the crash test of the BS6 was hard, I don’t want to deny or like, but the test of the BS4 3 months later is never mentioned with 3 stars.. But look at you first:http://www.br.d e/TV/Bavarian TV/shows/money-and-life-das-wirtschaftsmagazin/china-schanghai-wirtschaft102.html

  • Grandis vs Sharan

    Hello, I’m looking for a big van. I’m a little skeptical about the Sharan / Galaxy / Alhambra platform (quality etc.). Is the grandis as big or rather smaller as e.g. the Zafira ? What is the quality of this vehicle ? Thanks, Hartmut

  • Rental workshop in Berlin??

    Hello together! After I had to find out sadly that the rental workshop I used to be at, I am now looking for a new workshop in Berlin where you can repair yourself. Does anyone know a self-repair workshop in Berlin??

  • What is the optimal oil temperature ?

    Hello together What do you mean how much right now the engine oil must have? To give correct gas.

  • 2.0 T.S. and the oil consumption…

    Hi, I’ve been using the 147er as 2 liters since 2 weeks now, now after approx. 1000 km I have found an oil consumption of approx. 0.3 liters, which in itself should not be dramatic since the workshop master told me that up to 0.5 liters are ok on 2000 km. my actual question is, why does this engine actually consume oil? where with other engines sometimes garkein consumption can be detected. is the engine designed so that oil is inevitably consumed, or why is it? toni

  • Alfa 166 Jtd-Buying Questions Urgent

    Hello! Find a car for my father. I came across an Alfa 166 2,4Jd and should look at it today. Therefore I urgently ask for recommendations, tips, etc. The car is BJ.2001,140ps, silver, 180tkm, service booklet, garage service, timing belts have been changed… climate, electric seats, cruise control, SR,WR,…without navigator and leather. Price: 5900Euro What do I have to pay attention to? Is the price ok?? (To be aware: is in Austria, and with us cars are more expensive!) Can you buy the car without a purchase test, or are there gross and expensive defects, which one does not recognize during a test drive? Thank you in advance! will see the car in the afternoon, so I depend on your quick help! LG from Vienna

  • Consumptions

    The subject has already been touched on several times in other threads, such as fuel gauges, but as far as I could orient myself, never specifically. And the whole thing here is not only about the Velar, which I will mention here. The other types/models are also in demand here. For all vehicles that ran in the family, also many years two or three side by side, there were travel books kept. And now only one vehicle is left. n VELAR R-Dynamic S, P300, with many individually selected Featchers, who do not make him an HSE, but most closely correspond to my experiences and wishes – because only I still drive him alone. The old year is over and I have once again – for about 40 times my travel book – which the other vehicles do not count – calculated. On closer inspection the total km divided into three categories. A third city, between 3 and 33 km a third country roads, z 15 and 150 km and a third of highways, up to 1,600 km. (one trip, back and forth) So if you only drive back and forth to the weekly clock, 3 km and have to carry 16 traffic lights, pedestrian crossings or intersections, with possible backlogs, it costs me 15.0 to 20.0 l/100 km. On rural roads the whole should move between 8.0 and 11.0 l/100 km and on the highways between 8.5 and 12.0 l/100 km. All in all, my Velar has a year major in 2020. Chnitts consumption of 10.53 l/100 km! For me an acceptable result. How about you? I wish everyone a knight-free year Hedivel-35

  • Experience reports mileage/problems Impreza 2.0d

    Hello together, at the beginning of 2011 I might want to get a Subaru Impreza 2.0d sport. Is there anyone here who has “long-term experience” with this vehicle and can tell a bit about the positive and negative experiences. Can you classify the boxer diesel as a mature development?

  • Retrofit Navi Forester SH

    Hello Subaru friends, we play with the thought in our Subaru Forester SH 2.0D Active (built in 2011, in front of the Facelift) to equip a radio with navigator. The expansion of the old radio is not difficult, but which new radio can be used or even fits every 2 DIN radio? Do you also have to consider something if you want to continue to use the steering wheel control? Mfg SubaruCustomer
