  • Insurance classification

    Hello forum, the following situation. I have had a driver’s license for about 8 years and have also created my own vehicle in May 2008. Papa is insured with SF 21 or 23 with his car at Generali. I as a son then got a separate contract with SF2, as both are insured with Generali. Approximately 14 December (approx. 8 months) later, I received the new invoice for 2009 with now SF3 and a type class increase. However, due to the type class increase I would have a special cancellation bill t at the end of the year. However, I only wrote to Generali in the new year, about 7 January, that I can cancel. Then I received a cancellation confirmation from the insurance company for 31.12.2009. Today, however, I have found that the amount that was deducted for 2009 in advance was refunded to me. Does it mean that they have terminated this for 31.12.2008 after all? However, what would be my question, I have the right, since I was not insured for a full year, the SF2 or SF3 for the year 2009, to transfer to a new insurer, or will I then be classified with 140%? Greetings

  • Search Radio/CD for Volvo v40

    Moin moin, now I’m also one of the Volvo drivers (I’ll bring pictures and introduce my car, it’s just all wet outside). Now to my question: I have n v40 year 2001 without any special equipment, so normal speakers. Unfortunately, the car was only equipped with n cheap radio (cybercom) from the previous owner and that brings n sober sound and no bass at all. Now I want to ask what kind of thing you can recommend to me. n, but n bit of bass and good sound should come around already. Should definitely have a CD/Mp3 function, I don’t have anything against aux-in or USB-connection, but don’t have to be. Thought about spending 100€, if necessary more or less. Have no idea about it at all. Do I actually need any adapter or so to connect a radio? Have seen various kits at ebay, but want to contact you first. MfG Björn

  • 1.4 TDI how much km/h is feasible ?

    Hello, after I have already registered here a few days I would like to throw my first post into the round. Also today I finally got my first Lupo 🙂 Had up to 2 weeks ago a Polo 6N which unfortunately became a victim of a tree. So the following: I was able to acquire a factory lupo, this was admitted to the plant and was later acquired by an employee there. Equipment-technically you can not complain there really everything is in (in principle di e complete Golf5 equipment. Also the car was equipped in the factory with a different chip and it goes off really powerful. Now I am curious what would be maximum in this engine ?? Has one of you experience with such toys and what speed was achieved ?? Just out of curiosity okay – – I did not have anything to do with the vehicle because I want to have more fun with it and I have that. Also I am spoiled because I had a mini for years with 150 HP – but the Lupo seems to be more powerful or I’m getting old.

  • Fraud on the holder’s number, right to return?

    Hello together, have here a curious thing, or is rather brazen but now good. And indeed, buddy has bought himself recently spontaneously a Boxster (986) for a narrow thaler. The car so good. I was with him at the pickup and transferred the car by short-term numbers. Does for just under 220,000km pretty good. But would not have been mine, especially because of the 220,000km. Well today buddy wanted to let the vehicle and what comes out? The Boxster already had 6! ! Previous owners. In the purchase contract are 3, seller had mentioned only 3. From Boxstern under 10,000,-€ you should not expect much anyway, but such a brazen scam? Seller (private) also does not go to the phone. I do not know what my buddy discussed with the seller, that he got involved in the purchase, but now well, you can do nothing anymore. Now logically he wants to return the car and logically have the money back, it just goes I’m not so savvy myself in the field of law. VG

  • Presentation – I’m driving moose now

    Hello dear moose community, I thought I’d introduce myself. I bought a V70 Bj 97 144ps automatic and hope to be happy with it for a long time. He is currently at 244,000km and has got to buy a new timing belt, new steering drive and new brakes front and rear. Tüv is new. It was love at first sight. On and for himself we wanted to buy a used caddy after I had seen the Volvo, my absolute dream car always, we have it a But the family has already doubted the mind of me and my husband. Now we want to give our Sven the best care of course, so I want to combine two questions with my idea. 1. should we make an oil change immediately after the approval? The good piece has been well cared for in the last years, nevertheless I would have a better feeling subjectively, if I changed the oil. Rinsing of the transmission? It drives itself buttery soft, but as said the best care and so. 2. someone knows a good screwdriver hall in Berlin. My husband is a trained car mechanic and it is now possible to do a lot of things for himself with the v70. I am now happy to be part of the moose community and to have found this forum. Lg

  • Remote control ZV does not work despite new battery!

    Hello everybody, with our V70 Kombi BJ. 97 the remote control suddenly no longer works – a battery change has also led to nothing. The ZV itself works and can be operated with the switch in the driver’s door. Now you could say yes: Take the good old door lock; but as I have only now determined, the key obviously does not fit or the lock is defective. So I can not close the good piece. In comparable threads I have unfortunately no service Finding clues, does anyone have an idea? Greetings from the deep snow

  • ZLB II disappeared by post –> Bid continues

    Hello together, I need some help: 8 weeks ago I bought a used car in a Mercedes car dealership. After payment of my deposit (2/3 of the purchase price) they wanted to send me the papers. However, these were lost on the mail way and the ZLB II had to be ordered. This process now lasts already 7 weeks. I went now to the homepage of the electronic traffic sheet (verkehrsblatt.de) and have there under “Offerings” the FIN as well as d he No. of the ZLB II was entered. In both searches “No bending” was reported. Does this mean that the actual bidding process has not even started? I was told that a standing includes a three week standing and takes a total of four to six weeks. If nothing has happened after seven weeks, the procedure will still take at least four weeks. If I had to see the standings -if done – already on the homepage kö The dealer wants to check again now. Does anyone else have any idea how I can take care of a faster processing in my own initiative or where I can collect more information? LG

  • No interested parties for Mini Cooper S special model

    Moin together, I unfortunately have to separate myself from my beloved MINI for reasons of space. The car is a rare special model including full equipment. In addition, there is a service package (up to 11/23 or 71tkm) and original MINI winter bikes. With this equipment there is currently no second MINI at mobile.de. In addition, there is low mileage and the above mentioned extras (service, wheels). Although the car has been parked 22 times, so far no (serious) The car is now available at an increased price (according to mobile.de) of €20,500 VB. However, it is also a super-kept special model (Seven Chili) including service package, winter bikes (MINI/Alu) and an absolute top equipment: full leather, head-up, HK system, Adaptive chassis, parking and driving assist etc. What are your experiences? How long does it take to sell the car? And what can it be (except now again the single price theme) that people don’t call. After all, the price is VB, meaning: you can be happy to deal with me, but it doesn’t even try. I pack the ad here with you and am happy about your suggestions and thoughts. LG, Nicohttps://suche.mobile.de/fahrzeug/details.html?id=322666345

  • Tyre wear

    I’m just wondering when a motorcycle tyre has more wear and tear due to slippage. -When driving on the highway with Vmax – or when speeding through the gears My thought: When accelerating, the wheel torque is higher in gears below the 6th. But the number of revolutions is lower. On the other hand, the ground contact of the tyre is always the same. So is it more relevant to the transferred power or the transferred torque – or is that the same thing?

  • Parktronic at the C 70

    Hello guys, drive a C 70 T 5 now and it has the parking sensors on the back as standard from the equipment Momentum. You can switch them off. According to the instructions for use there should be a switch next to the handbrake, with which you can switch off the parking sensors. But this switch is missing. Maybe someone can tell me if there is another possibility or if someone has the ominous button to deactivate. Thank you already in advance.
