  • Golf VI Variant Tdi Automatic or Mercedes C 200 CDI Automatic (204)

    Hi, I want to get a used one and fluctuate between these two models. Both would have about 100,000 km down. In golf I wanted to actually use the 1.6 TDI but there is supposed to be the automatic (that’s what?). That’s why it would be with the golf of the 2.0 TDI with the 6-speed automatic. In the Benz I would take a model with the 5-speed automatic because it should be quite mature. The Benz would be about 2010, the golf about Bj 2011. Of course the Benz b The golf would be about 12-13,000 €, the Benz at 16-17,000 € (each bought directly from the manufacturer). Which one should I take? Is the extra price of the Benz worth, especially in terms of reliability from 100,000 km? Would the car finance over 4 years and really have no idea that I would have to pay additional workshop costs at the same time.

  • Cheap and reliable car up to 800-1000€

    Hey ho, since I am currently looking for a reliable and cheap car because of my job, I wanted to hear a few comments here. So far I have always driven VW (each Golf 2 and Golf 3, is already something) and found the quite reliable, manco: insurance, fuel consumption and taxes. However, as I soon first start working and have some money available I did not necessarily want to buy a VW directly again, because I think I will only go to work for the car n. What’s it look like on the car market at the moment? What would you recommend to me? It is important to me that it is relatively cheap and reliable. Thanks already MfG // EDIT: Have just looked around and find the Rover 200 214 pretty chic and also seem relatively cheap – has an experience with Rover and can say what about it?

  • Youngtimer up to 1000€

    Hello dear car friends! I have been well advised by you two times and need your support again. Through your advice I have a very solid and beautiful everyday car and also one for the winter (have kept my old Toyota as a winter car ) I am looking for a nice youngtimer for weekend exits. Budget: 7000 – 10000 € Driving performance: maximum 5000km per year (car is in the garage and is registered with an alternate number) is only on weekends in fine weather in summer / spring / autumn driven NO WINTER FURNITURE! I would like to ask you to write no silly sayings or other “reason contributions”. I want to afford this luxury, for that I do not go on the slopes, smoke or go golf. Requirements: Luxury class (Audi A8 /S8 / Mercedes S class (SE/SEL) / BMW 7er ) Engine: in this class anyway, there is nothing under 200 hp from which I am open to everything. The car should not go to the lawn or for I think of vehicles in this category:1993 Mercedes S500 Why do I want such a vehicle? I find it visually appealing, I don’t need the latest technology (tracking assistant or other garbage). It may be a matter of taste if you like these cars and if you are prepared to do so, of course, such a sum for an “old” car. I have decided to take this step. I hope to respond to many.

  • Let’s get a car in America…

    Hello forengemeinde! I would have a question: Could theoretically a friend of mine buy a car in America, let on himself and then “send” to me by ferry so that I can drive the car as a so-called third party in a foreign country? I know this is a difficult question… Do insurance companies offer something like this at all, or is it allowed? Greeting Mexx

  • Leon Cupra 280: Hitting while accelerating

    Moin together! Have a Cupra 280 since the beginning of the year. After the drive-in time is now over I wanted to give a little bit more “gas” now. The following problem has occurred: Every time I accelerate from the stand more strongly, so that the wheels would spin off, such a blow or also banging occurs, sounds really bad. Especially in wet weather this is even worse – probably because the wheels have less adhesion… Except for this problem, the car runs inw I’m going to go to the Seat dealer, just wanted to know if someone had something like that before. Maybe that’s normal too – but somehow I can’t imagine… By the way, I usually drive in comfort mode, if all this could have to do with this front axle lock… Thanks for the help!

    hi we bought a seat leon 1p. the driver’s door does not open with the radio remote control, but can be opened with the key. now I wanted to install a new lock. earlier I tried to dismantle the door covering of the driver’s door.

I have put everything together again so that I can drive again. would be grateful for every tip. on YouTube I have only found videos from the side of the driver.

  • Cupra 280 5F Wheel Question

    Hello together, now that I can finally pick up my sweetheart on Friday, the rim purchase is also threateningly close. I plan to drive the series rims in winter and get something nice new for the summer. My wish rim (ATS Crosslight) would be 8,5J x 19 ET43. Can someone please help me to find out if I get the rims with the serial tire 235/35 19 and not grinds anything afterwards? I’m already looking for my fingers sore, but somehow come no further. ET45 seems to fit without problems and without any rework, but what it looks like with ET43, I find nowhere. Thank you very much for your support!

  • Differences Seat Leon vs Seat Leon Kombi

    Good afternoon friends/professionals! I would like to ask you about the differences between the Seat Leon Style 5F (my) and the Seat Leon ST/Kombi. Since I want to buy a bigger car > 2. Child + bigger trunk. I have now written the technical data together. Mine: L: 4282 // B: 1816 – 1975 // H: 1459 // Turning circle: 10,3m // GR: 380 – 1210 l Combi: L: 4549 // B: 1816 – 1975 // H: 1454 // Turning circle: 10,3m // GR: 587 – 1470 l Is however for example on de r Back seat with the combo more space? e.g. legroom and seat width etc … I’ve also looked at other Kombi’s / Suv’s / Van’s …. but I’m actually very happy with the Fzg (+ think it’s optically great). Thank you. VG

  • OIL reading bar

    Moinsen tutti, have a small “problem” with the reading of the light oil measuring rod at my 500s. Because, the oil is as bright as the measuring rod, so I just can’t see how high the “Östand” is.. How do you “read” the exact oil level ? Is there possibly an “alternative” oil measuring rod, ideally made of metal ? Greetings
