  • Rim Problem No. 2

    Moin Leude!!! I have read the thread rim problem and slowly get scared of the TÜV. I have my small 2er Golf 60/40 deeper and wanted to know which rims I can raise, and which tires to it. And what it looks like then, if I have to sled and so on. Would be really cool if you would answer me. MfG Redi

  • Tacho lighting and foils

  • Light-off control *important*

    Hello! I bought a “light-out control” before, so a part that beeps when the ignition is off and the light is still on, it honestly finds it vnervy, that something like that was not in the Golf 2 series, especially since it is only a tiny part, which in the production certainly only costs a few cents! Behind it is now a guide, it says that the one (of the two cables) cable (red) should be attached to the securing socket of a headlamp, and the blue one to the self I’m sure there are 2 dozen fuses, which is for the standlight and which for the ignition! Need urgent help, wanted to install it today, during the week I always have so little time! @Leinad, you know so well with the GOlf 2, maybe you can tell me the how much security that is! Nice weekend Calvin

  • Expropriation of my car by insurance after an accident without fault

    After an accident without fault, the insurance company can take almost 3 weeks with the damage regulation. My car is not traffic safe, so I can not drive it. I can not repair the car either, because I do not know if the insurance company wants to send its expert for the second report. I can not sell it, for the same reason. For me, this is an expropriation, because I can not have my property for almost 3 weeks. Who thinks I have because I want to pay myself the damage sum to buy a replacement car, I don’t get replaced for the estimated repair period of 3-4 days, or for the whole time (previously almost 3 weeks), usage loss or rental car. It’s an incredible, hard-to-bear situation, because I want to drive a car on holiday, but I can’t have it. And that’s even though I don’t blame myself for it. Even the cause of the accident, which I happened to have met while shopping, is appalled and ashamed that his insurance has made a fool of me. His car has been repaired for almost 14 days. Who in the world has earned more a loss of use or a rental car than I, who has not been able to use his car for almost 3 weeks??? How can there be such an expropriation in a state of law?

  • KW coilover suspension

    So I wanted to equip my Golf 3 with a coiled suspension of KW (variant 2 or 3 ), so I wanted to ask what experiences you had with the chassis. Are there known problems or something like that??? Does anyone know if I have to do something on the fender when I first screw it to 60/40. (Do I still have the standard tyres of 185/60 R14 82T on it) Or do I need track spreads??? Does anyone know if you still get 60/40 in underground garages, or are there any problems??? Greeting Golf3

  • How do you turn it on?

    A little stupid question, but I’d like to know how far you’re getting out of the corridors, so when you’re going from 1st to 2nd and when in 3rd and so on. Best of all, at which km/h display on the speedometer! Maybe also differences between driving sparingly and racing!

  • Search vehicle for 60tkm per year / 3,5T€

    Hello I need a “new” vehicle again. Since you drive at least 60tkm a year (80% AB) a diesel will charge for me. Only the question is much better? I have 3.500 euro as a budget and what he should have is cruise control and an AHK would not be bad (could I also retrofit myself) Since it is not much money the selection remains frighteningly low. Especially since I hope that the car should last for at least 2-3 years. As a preselection I have found the following models: Citroen C5 110HDI Bj2005 155t km Alfa 159 1.9 JTD Bj 2004 180tkm Mazda 6 2.0 CD Bj 2003 150tkm VW Passat 1.9 TDI Bj 2001 180tkm Mercedes C200 Bj2000 190tkm These are now only so rough the average price what you find, of course, some offers (private / dealer) & equipment variants vary. Euro3/4 What would interest me now is your experiences about the engines. I don’t want to ask the same question now at every manufacturer forum. That’s why I try here in general. i with the rust death or similar die I think rather less. When I look in the net I find that all manufacturers have the 360tkm and more. Only unfortunately there is rarely there what had to be invested so far. I know the FAST every engine can create 600tkm, but does this bring me if I had to change turbo x times, if necessary the pistons renew careers honen, ZMS renew etc.?! So which diesel from the years 2000 to 2006 really durable and for 3.5T with a coach? I hope you can get a little light into the dark

  • Problems with car sales on order, please take a look what would be possible… ?

    Hello people, and I’m not sure if I ended up here in the right forum. I have the following problem, which I like pain at the moment. Facts: I got the order from a very well-loved workshop (Mündlich nicht Written) to sell a car for a customer who would like to have 600€ for the car. Said, I immediately got to work and advertised the car professionally. However, the selling price was 140€ above and d The owner of the workshop (whose name I don’t want to name here, for data protection reasons) told me in a personal conversation that I can sell the car for the customer, and I can put the amount that goes over the 600€ out (in this case 140€) in my pocket. Since I have already done several services under my hand. Now however, the problem that the workshop says , you get a third of its what you earned from that part” and the rest we share among ourselves. That would be in the case of 433,33€ for 3 people, in which are included I as a seller, the workshop owner and an employee. Now, however, I wonder if this is so right and if I have a right to demand my money amount. I have the purchase contract with my signature here at home, with my data and the data of the buyer. Where is my right here? Can I get the work Or do my chances look bad? Would be grateful for EVERY Helpful answer on your part, and I count on you. I am aware that it was not right to sell the car on behalf of me. But it’s all about a proud sum of money…

  • Purchase advice : Reliable, economical and affordable motorcycle

    Hello together, I am currently looking for a “new” motorcycle, as the open motorcycle lobe will probably come soon. So far I have a GSX 400 and with which I drove about 20 000 KM (also bigger travel like e.g. from berlin to Istanbul with sozius ) Therefore also here the requirements that the new bulge should meet: cheap it should be, up to about 2500 euro for two people travel suitable on longer distances more horsepower than the GSX 400 … 27ps are too little too Reliable and economical (my favorite the XS850 unfortunately consumes too much, I think) in the race are currently: yamaha XS 650-1100 … probably too heavy and too high sprit consumption ( ??) honda cb 550 Suzuki GS550E suzuki gs 750 So more classic 80s asia motorcycles. The pretty BMW motorcycles are unfortunately too expensive in general …. Does someone have similar or better addition, or can even exclude something ? I would be happy about suggestions and help of any kind !
