  • My NEW Civic

    Hello After years of absence I will also report again! 🙂 Have also signed a purchase contract today for a 1.8 executive in black with beige interior equipment that I already get on Friday LOL 🙂 I would be interested in what you paid (how could you trade down???) With me it was 24000 euro to pay from about 26600 euro. What about the insurance? Where since you reported?? Have read that there seems to be the problem with the displayed consumers hs consider the BC to be a reality! Have you ever thought that it can be due to the iron reserve.(More than 50 liter tank?is actually normal nowadays???) I tried the car 2 times: once virgin and once with 1500km on the tacho there were real worlds differences in the acceleration-worthy later made really fun! 🙂 Add to this my question: How do I drive the engine “right”? on the other hand I was really happy when I saw it here already a n couple of Fk drivers there!!

  • Brake path

    Once again a cross-brand question to the Toyota Forum expert panel with the request for friendliness and objectivity. (The former (?) braking problem of Lexus models may be spared at this point in the sense of the forum peace.) I have been following car tests for tens of years now. In the course of time it has impressed me that everything under 40 m braking distance can be considered good. Now I read more measurements, where also ‘very normal’ cars partly clearly below this size. The ‘non-normal’ VW Golf GTI Pirelli and BMW 123d Coupé were even given at ‘Adventure Auto’ at 34,7 and 35.9 m respectively. Where does this trend come from? Have the braking systems really become so much better that they are already ahead of the ever-increasing vehicle weights? Or is it because today brake assistants are used? (On the other hand, I would say that such measurements are carried out by professional drivers who know how to keep pace with the I would ask for comments from the panel.

  • Used Citroen Saxo 1.4

    Hi, I need a quick advice from you. We were looking at a Saxo BJ97 with 70km. The seller indicated in the advertisement: 1 hand of private. Price 1500,- On the phone the man first said that the car belonged to his wife, they bought a new vehicle. We were there today and the seller, a Yugoslave, then talked himself several times. Facts: – The car comes from France from a woman. Whether the first registration is on you I could not see, since ic – The car had an engine wash and the guy had a problem with our friend (KFZ-Master) looking at the vehicle. But we didn’t let him take it. Our friend thinks that the price was ok. – The seller is a small dealer What was further strange: he wrote his wife in the purchase contract, he also showed us the ID card. He wanted us to buy the contract of sale from the French woman. He didn’t want to show us his identity card. However, we were in his apartment, not a backyard shop. His wife’s passport was Yugoslav. TÜV and AU he rewrites the papers today. Furthermore, he also countersigned that the vehicle was accident-free. We have now paid 50,- and are supposed to receive the car tonight. The doubts are getting bigger and bigger. Could something be wrong with the car, Or do you think this is just an idiot who wants to make a good deal because he bought the car for 800,- an old grandma in France?. VG

  • Italo-Americano!!!???

    Help me, but it comes to me when I see the former shapely cars from Italy dressed in American tin! What’s that supposed to mean, don’t they have ideas anymore? What do you think about it?

  • MUSA circuit in winter

    Hello MUSA friends! Today it was time again, the temperature DEUTCHLY below zero degrees (precisely: -11°!) and my MUSA resists switching. Gears go in very hard, after a few minutes drive everything is ok again. What exactly freezes there? And can you (or wife or workshop) get that somehow “easy”? My MUSA is from 2007 (1.3er 16V Multitjet). Thanks in advance for answers – despite the pre-Christmas shopping stress for the guys – says the Bee

  • Result Polishing

    Hello together, I wanted to ask the pros I polished my car and am satisfied with the result, thanks to you!!! However, I don’t get a spot really polished. The photos (before/after) seem violent and it’s not that bad! Does anyone have advice on how to get the Swirls away? Greeting Christian

  • Thousands of microcracks on headlights?

    Moin, after my car wash in the evening, I noticed that my headlights are full of tiny stone hits. They are also only minimally visible on the surface and when the headlights are switched off. I tried to wipe them away anyway, in the hope that it is only dirt, but unfortunately did not succeed. My car was running 12 tkm and not very old. If that is not normal I would be a little surprised. What I put on my windshield wipers is the Sonax Xtreme brilliant shine more detailed. But it would hardly do that, wouldn’t it? In the pictures it looks a little more extreme than it really seems, but hopefully you see what I mean.

  • Removal of Vogelkot

    I don’t need to tell anyone here what a vehicle can look like, which had parked under a tree and over which birds “empty” themselves. However, the sprays offered in the trade for the elimination of bird droppings have not become environmentally friendly and also quite expensive. If therefore someone can call a proven home remedy, please report. Thank you.

  • Remove stubborn dirt on passenger side by ivy hedge?
