As the Verkehrsclub Deutschland (VCD) has just published, German cars end up far behind the competition from Japan and France.http://www.spiegel.de/auto/aktuell/0,1518,370152,00.html: “With their passion for perfection, German car engineers tend to produce flops. Instead of using filters, they wanted to trim engines in such a way that they produce little exhaust gas.”

Hi, the search function did not reveal anything that was already before … I changed my pads on Saturday with the help of the book “So wird’s es” . But I believe I did something wrong … Only don’t know what …. To the value path: wheel down, with 6 hexagons the 2 screws loosed and the brake caliper removed … disc measured (was still ok and also without bars) and then it started with raining *kotz* I therefore only checked the smoothness of the sleeve in the brake caliper, this however nic it was cleaned with a bottle brush as in the book. It seemed to me that it was not necessary, it was very easy … everything was cleaned and put together according to the instructions. In itself everything was without problems. To this day I drove about 50 km, but had this feeling that it did not brake as well as before the “repair”. So I operated the brake pedal very easily with the left foot and gave it gas at the same time. Result it was to feel that the coverings were not smooth h “have let go of the disc”, so they still cut on it. After ner 1 sec there was nothing more to feel when accelerating … So I looked if the disc started biting, because this “permanent” grinding on the disc is certainly not in the sense of the inventor and see since the disc got easy e occasion colors … What I don’t understand is this cleaning of the “bust” really so evocative, also did I feel it would be smooth??? It certainly isn’t true, because he could be pushed in without any problems … Since I certainly need a brake system for my conscience, I would now repeat the whole mess again, just this time with new windows. Was with Pitstop and they wanted to make for 210 Euro (ats disk + coverings) , a lot of wood … Therefore the question are the “Set ́s” offered at E-bay for 60 Euro or are these under no circumstances to be recommended??? But if they are for my Polo (60 HP SDi Bj 98) v on the reliability are ok, what did I make flat the first time??? Thanks for the answers. Greetings Naik Polo 1.7 SDI Bj 98

Hallihallo! VW – as we all know – founded the class of sports compacts in 1976 with the Golf I GTI, at that time still with 1.6 liters capacity and 110 cheerful horses, which are still fun today. Occasionally I can pilot such a one, an acquaintance has a 1977. The performance spiral turned further with 1.8 liters and 112 hp, later in the Golf II there was then a 16V with 139 hp and with the Golf III the end was reached with 150 hp. Since the Golf IV there is only another GTTI, which is more conceptually a successor of the Daihatsu Charade GTti than one of the Golf III GTI. Only with the Lupo there was a GTI. Why do you think VW has said goodbye to the GTI concept and has taken over the (not only) unloved Daihatsu concept with me? Oh yes: If someone thinks that I would want to fight against VW: It’s not just with VW, Opel, Mitsubishi, Peugeot and Mazda, for example, go the same way – but they didn’t invented the GTI, therefore, I’m here.
