  • Repeal 180 km/h Limit

    Please don’t discuss the meaningfulness or why, why, why… We appreciate our Volvo and therefore take another one and yes I know that I will probably not use it often but I just want to have it for me. We get an XC90 T8 MJ22 Now there are two ways to cancel: 1. Heico cancellation to 210Km/h with expert report and warranty for just under 2t€ 2. D5T5 cancellation without limit (will be made remotely) for just under 200€ then of course without expert report and Guarantee (but difficult to discover for the dealer) Has anyone ever had it done ? Does anyone have experience with it ? Thank you

  • German vehicles too expensive in USA

    Every now and then you could read about car prices in the USA. You could get envious, but the prices are still too high for the Americans. Are we just too stupid, or are we convinced that our cars are also worth their price in .de? Nice are the examples about the price difference, on the below mentioned page. It’s not a Volvo listed, but I don’t think I’m wrong if I say that there are similar price differences between D and USA. .http://auto.t-online.de/c/10/08/47/78/084778.html Greetings bkpaul

  • Delivery times/equipment availability of all series w. Lack of electronic parts affected

    Yesterday’s report received from My Haendler here in NL; also Volvo now has problems with the problems aangering chips and semiconductors known to the world. This makes it not possible from week 21 to break the vehicles out with, in my case a new XC60 my2022, BLIS and 360 camera. Man talks at Volvo about a “compensation”, but what, how and if is not known yet. He also told the series differently affected water. If more is known, calls I’m mad at him right now, but I’m mad at him for a moment.

  • Collecting thread Impressions/Experiences

    So now that some have their Q2 I would be interested in the first impressions in everyday life of the new Audi. I also start right away: Have my (1.4 S tronic) now 3 weeks / approx. 2000 km and find it is a very lively car with sufficient space and quite quiet. Pleasant to drive and fuel consumption also ok. All around I am very satisfied with it so far and hope it stays so.

  • C1 Repairs / Change

    Drive now for almost three years the C1 petrol engine. Have since the 70100 km on the speedometer. My question to you. When should one replace the control chain / water pump? Are there other important parts that must be changed? I changed in time only 2 bream lights and at the front right the Simmerring. My oil change intervals were at: 1. 15,000 km (at Citroen) 2. 44,000 km (at ATU) 3. 70,000 km(at ATU) As oil I use 5W40. Because of the warranty I have at 15,000Km made only the only service at Citroen. Since then only refuel and drive. Ask for numerous comentars.

  • Contract workshop for inspections C1 area Düsseldorf searched

    Good morning together, I’m now on the verge of the 1st inspection (15,000) of my 4 month old C1. I’m on the road a lot and will therefore be allowed to inspect quite often. There seem to be big differences. I would be very happy if a contract workshop in Dueseloof or surroundings can be recommended here, which is reasonable and affordable. Thank you in advance and always good ride.

  • C1 1.4 HDI – used with 50 tkm ??? how durable is the little one ???

    Hello, actually I wanted an Aygo, 107 or C1 with the 3-cylinder petrol. The car is driven 70% in the city and rest of the country road, about 10,000 km / year. Now I have found a nice C1 with the diesel. How durable / repair prone is the small engine? How expensive are repairs? Can one retrofit a filter with the actually one? What do you mean with my profile the extra price with tax and insurance? Greeting

  • An indication of “deed” useful?

    Hi, yesterday I went back home from my vacation from Holland (about 900 km). The ride went so far without problems, except for an Audi driver. I was on the left lane of a three-lane highway and I have overtaken vehicles on the middle lane which were about 200-400m away from me and I stayed between the not shrugged, but for about 2 km on the left lane. My speed was 170-190 km/h. That was apparently too slow for the Audi driver. I drove up, then pulled onto the middle lane and was on eye level with my vehicle. Then he changed to the left lane again. When the traffic allowed it I drove over and wanted to let it pass. Then the Audi driver pulls on and stays at my height so that I can’t change to the left lane again, although about 150 m in front of me was already on my track again. Then I had to give up again correctly so that I drive again in front of the Audi r was able to switch to the left lane, otherwise I would have had to make an almost full braking from 180 to 120. After the car was on the middle lane I immediately switched to the middle lane again to let the Audi driver pass again. To the crowning conclusion he cut me still nicely. The whole thing recorded my camera and took about 30 seconds. Should I show the Audi driver? I was traveling with the whole family, so noc h another 4 witnesses who have observed everything.

  • Fzg must be logged out – letter is with the buyer! and now?

    Hello guys. I think I just made a mess when selling a car (because I have relied on statements in the net and some acquaintances). I sold as I said a car but stupidly already gave the Fzg letter to the buyer. – Full purchase amount was paid. – Purchase contract is of course available and – I also have the vehicle license as well as the signs (he had brought his own – red). What do I do now? Replace the purchase contract quasi the letter? or get I didn’t sign off the car without a letter?

  • Tacho Manipulation and Accident Cars

    Hello, I bought a car in January, it had run 159,000 km according to Tacho, and according to the dealer was accident-free and what was also recorded in the purchase contract. The car had 2 previous owners. The first vehicle owner can not be determined because the vehicle letter only the 2nd and I stand on it. Anyway, someone checked for me the FIN of the car (should find out the equipment) and told me that the car had a rear damage repair and noted w orden are 253,000 km from the workshop. The workshop has the same postal code as the second owner of the car. According to Google search for the second owner, it is a “transport company” or “first name surname transports”. The question is now how did I determine who manipulated the tacho, and if the dealer knew about the manipulation and also concealed the accident. How should I proceed now? Directly to the lawyer? At the moment everything points to the second owner?
