  • Park artist– how do you deal with it?

    Hello, I’m new here and I’m coming with a stupid question. Something happened to me this morning on a supermarket parking lot where I would like to know how to behave correctly in such cases. The following had happened: I wanted to make the last purchases this morning and drove my husband’s car to the next supermarket. With my two little children in my luggage (2 years and 7 months). I also immediately found a parking space (suitable for my female requirements) . I have to say that since my little son is still being transported in the baby bowl, I also take care of enough distance to get the door wide enough. So far so good, I’m done shopping, come back to the car and what is there of course?! A parking artist at my passenger side. This hero of the road traffic has so skilfully parked that I could not even open the door on the passenger side. Getting the baby bowl into the car was not even to think n. From the other side I couldn’t put them in the car either, because my daughter’s child seat is stuck. So I was waiting, waiting and waiting (there were only zero degrees this morning) After half an hour in which I didn’t get the baby bowl in the car I went back to the supermarket and asked the branch manager there for help, which then answered me that I should look for a witness, wait five minutes and then call the police. , done and when I just wanted to call the police came the nice Mr. Park artist. He was of course not aware of any fault, then turned on me still stupid about what I actually wanted. When I then answered in his tone and pointed out that I could not put my baby in the car because of him he then left some indefinable things away. I then pointed him out that if he had something to tell me to do this in a clear tone And now I would call the police. Then the good gentleman became very small and was very concerned that the gentlemen would not be called by the police. The ironic thing about the whole thing is, he himself had a child with him. And since he had parked so stupidly, he had to balance his daughter over the driver’s side to the passenger side until she was sitting in your child’s seat. Now to my question, how do you behave right now in such cases? Really call the police ? And if so, what do they do then? Thanks for the answers

  • “Vorsprung durch Technik” and the Life Cycle Assessment

    Hello, we have been discussing the soot/diesel particulate filters (DPF) for a long time, as well as the reasons for the A2 production setting. Now there is also an ‘eco-index’ in which the German manufacturers can be found in the ‘Top Ten’ from 6th place – and the Toyota Prius is particularly annoying: “With particulate filters, Lupo and Audi A2 TDI would be in 1st place in the car environment list, just in front of the Toyota Prius.” !!! (See: http://www.swr.de/ratgeber/auto/auto-umw…hcgq/index.h tml and http://www.vcd.org/?id=146 and http://www.vcd.org/index.php?id=auli2005). Yes, with PS and top speeds alone, the properties ‘Made in Germany’ will no longer live up to their reputation for a short or long time. Whether our automotive industry is still able to connect or has already fallen asleep? I fear we will lose another position in the long term in the struggle for innovations, jobs, future, …, “progress through technology” etc.

  • VOLVO XC 60 BJ 2010 luminosity loss at Xenon

    Hello everyone, have my XC 60 for three years and 100 T km. I always ride with glare light and mostly travel long distances. The intensity of the xenon seems to have decreased considerably, a color difference (on red or blue) is not visible. The lenses are only clear and become slightly milky when light is switched on. The protective glass shows slight traces as if it had burned something. Does anyone know the problem and is there any remedy? Thanks & Greetings Staner

  • xc70 (integral) child seat

    Hello and good day, we wanted to rent an XC70 (at europcar) and I’m not sure if it doesn’t have an integrated child seat increase on the back seat. If not, I have to book a child seat for my son (5 years) when ordering the car. Can you help me? Unfortunately, I don’t know which xc70 europcar offers (year of construction) and what its standard equipment is for child safety.

  • Ride with Jet Helmet / Police Helmet – what are you driving?

    Hello together! I’m looking for a motorcycle that is very suitable for cross country rides with open helmet. So the wind protection should be as perfect as possible. Of course you can do it with any motorcycle. But for the big tour most people do not set up an integral without reason. What does this look like for the following example motorcycles? – K1200 and R1100 RT? – R1100 with high windshield? – R1100 GS with touring windshield? – Or Honda ST1100 / Varadero? someone made such experiences and gives tips for the right machine. Thank you in advance!

  • Maintenance charge over power box

    Hello I would like to connect my K75RT via the on-board socket to the maintenance charge. Question: can the increased voltage (m.W. over 14 volts) damage the on-board electrics? Is the on-board socket secure, if yes, how high? The charger that should be used is a Einhell CC-BC 4M. It is supposed to switch after charging to maintenance charge and recognize the battery type itself. It charges with 2 resp. 4 amperes. Is that too much? I have a Gelakku. Thank you for E your answers. Thorsten

  • HIlFE – my nightmare with Porsche 996 Turbo and Porsche Darmstadt

    Two years ago I bought a 996 turbo at the Porsche Autohaus in Darmstadt. The car was second hand with 68000 km and costs 52000 € Unfortunately, the most reliable car in the world became a nightmare for me. First I was delivered the car with 10 years old and defective tires, these flew almost around my ears during the first longer car ride on the way to Hamburg …. Overall I was towed three times, invested more than 12000 € in repairs, now I was told that the Turbo will soon say goodbye – when I tried to find a solution with the management of the Porsche Autohaus in Darmstadt – they offered me 1800€ as payment when buying an alternative car. 40 000!!!! Euro value destruction – Who has for me a tip, an idea – what can I do??? Thank you for your suggestions, thoughts.

  • CE Test Hanger Train Spindle simply does not work!

    Hello you love. I’ve been reading for a long time and now I also know that I’m not alone with my problem. I’ve now almost 2.5 months driving school behind me. Theory, IHK and C mastered everything super… then came the trailer… Three axles, swivels… Not exactly the problem. I can handle him super and he lets himself drive so nicely. But I had my problems with shunting from the first day… Left around the corner and straight backwards… theoretically actually so simp but in practice horror for me… I’m sitting there someday and just don’t know where to steer anymore… I’m still walking around the corner, and then I’m already sweating again with the straight line… Just from backwards I have a total blockade… of course I usually steer wrong or let the trailer get too far… I’ve got my CE exam tomorrow and would like to cancel… I mentioned that it has time and not hastened… nevertheless they have I signed up for tomorrow because you can’t move it anymore. Actually it would have been today but it was more like moving to tomorrow supposedly didn’t go… now I’m hanging there of course… driving works perfectly and it’s so hard to deal with the shit… I know how to drive slowly and do only minimal steering movements… the problem is I just sit there at once and don’t know if left or right anymore… actually only two possibilities but I check It’s just not… my instructor is just as annoying as me and not exactly the quietest one from the start… Bundeswehr just ?? That doesn’t help me much further… just scream and stupid comments make me even more finished… I’ve been driving 1.5 hours every day since Monday and I’m shooting on the bike… I’m the first tomorrow and we’ll pick up the examiner, say I’ll drive first and then rank… it would be so annoying if it would fail… Ha bt you any helpful tips that can still save me?! Questions is unfortunately not possible with my driving instructor… Would I have often wanted more explanations why… but then he goes up and then I left it… did not want to completely ruin the relationship before the exam because we actually manage well… only in this case he turns full on the bike… Dear greetings from a driver candidate
