  • Cockpit PLANTS

    Hello community! I certainly spent 6 hours on the weekend to search the forum for care contributions. For the rims and exterior cleaning I have already found my products. However, for the interior not. I want my cockpit, is made of plastic and is a new car, PLEASE. Do not clean. The remedy should keep the plastic matte. And have a neutral scent. I do not want to have Vanillie, Red Bull, strawberries, new cars, hot dog etc. pp. smell in the car. Koch Chemie Refresh Cockpit Care is supposed to have an intense smell according to various contributions. Or is Koch Chemie not so intense? Or is that why a product of Meguares? Or Sonax? I am really perplexed. Like everyone else I want the best for my car! Which means can you explicitly recommend to me? Thanks & Lg

  • Polish microfibre cloth or wash glove for varnish?

    Question: Is it possible to remove the microfibre cloths after polishing of 1st wax, 2nd polymers, 3rd ceramic seals or can one successfully wash them and reuse them? I assume that the microfibre cloth and the washing glove are equally structured on the wiping surface?! But the glove can be touched far better. With the cloth you will certainly get a cramp. If a cloth costs 1-3€, I see a glove like this (2-7€) as more useful. Alternative?

  • Underground parking space – costs and benefits

    Hello forum! I ask myself a question again and I really don’t know what to do: at the beginning of October I get my new used car, approx. 20,000€ and compact class. It should be well maintained and driven for the next 5-8 years. My landlord has now asked if I would not be interested in an underground parking space. This would cost 50€ mtl. and is located directly at the house. Access only with key card. My question: Is it worth it? Are there serious disadvantages of a underground parking space atzes? Is the price too high? Etc… My new one has a disc heating and also heated mirror. So the winter should not be a big problem. At the sea with plenty of salt in the air I don’t live either. Does someone possibly have more life experience with it and want to share it with me? I would be very grateful about it.

  • Recommendation Autoshampoo for sealings

    Hello together, since my shampoo supplies are getting so slowly to the end, or my old Dodo Juice is not really good anymore, I am looking for a new car shampoo for the Daily. I would like to have something that increases the service life of the liquid glass, which I use as a seal. I know that I can’t expect any miracles from this, but if I can refresh the layer with it while I wash the car anyway I’m already satisfied with it. Norma Since the manufacturers always offer something suitable for your sealing, only there is no more liquid glass. Does someone have a hot tip here what you could take there or does there have experience values?

  • General question about “scarp after sale”

    Servus, I am rather quiet reader, but I would like to ask a question: You read here often the following facts: TE sells car, buyer responds after a few days, complains about defects and therefore demands money or return. The following comments are also quite identical in content, because relatively quickly comes the word “guarantee exclusion”, with which apparently everything stands and falls. What I ask myself is: Does not the buyer first have to use a I have never read here that it is advisable to let the TE show evidence of all the claims, such as estimates, photos, videos or the name and address of the workshop or the lawyer in which the buyer allegedly wanted to be quite fast. The basic tenor (it seems to me at least like this) is: the GW does not have the right Closed, may pay, even if the buyer only comes up with allegations.

  • DFM Forthing 4 U-Tour – wrong decision?

    Hey people, reviews of the Forthing 4 U-Tour are rare…very rare. Also here in the forum there is virtually nothing to find about this vehicle. So I hope that with a new thread I can reach a few people who already drive this car. To be honest, we have to take some bumblebee to the (for us) completely unknown Forthing. We are just looking for a solid family car with the possibility to transport 3 children. The Citroen C5 Aircross was so far un Today I was able to look at the dealer for the first time the 4 U-Tour and was, honestly, enthusiastic. Comfort without end and nice lot of space. He also looked valuable. The seller was very nice, but you had to pull every information out of his nose ^^. The consumption is most likely to worry me (seller speaks of realistic 8-9l – on the net one reads more than 10l. Besides, there are hardly any reviews). our cars always cozy, especially with the children and bring them regularly to the inspection…so the cars. Survive these carts so probably the 150,000km? Is there someone here who drives this car and what could you report? I hope someone finds himself.

  • XPENG G9 – Group deal ?

    Accompanying my other topic with the business leasing conditions here, a parallel topic has been created in discussions with Xpeng… What if as a group you order several G9 together as a package. Of course legally separated but as a package at dealer. There is probably a discount key from a certain number of pieces. As I now, apart from us also another partner from our network could inspire us for the G9 we are already 2 buyers or leasers.. Would anyone else be there?

  • Wheels and tyres for MG HS MY24

    Hello dear forum members, as I had to experience painfully, there are still no reliable information about the possible rims and tyres, which can be driven on the new HS. My brother-in-law had contact to a TÜV position and they are just about to check and release the complete wheels. I had to get the only available set from the car dealership because no alternative could be offered. Maybe someone knows more here and can find out more about In the interest of all HS drivers, so that everyone can choose their visually appealing combination.

  • Why the nonsense???

    HALLO, HERE’S AN E-MAIL TODAY, THE ANALYSIS AND THE COST OF MY FRIENDLY CONVENTION, TOYOTA GERMANY HAVE HAPPENED. WHAT DOES YOUR DAVON ?? dear customer service, I would like to tell you briefly a story that happened to me last week and ask for your opinion on it. Motor, drive off. After about 10 km of road the oil control flashes the first time, 1 second later the second time, again 1 second later all the control goes Lights on and the engine starts by itself. Quickly hit the clutch and let the car roll out. Hood on and oil level controlled. Result: Oil level between min. and max. (no water in the oil!) Bring the car into the workshop. Result: capital engine damage Estimate: min. 3,382,- Euro !!! The car is a 98 RAV-4, 84.311 Km run Why is the oil inspector there, if there is no time left for an oil pressure shortage, the engine to be removed so early old that it will not be destroyed immediately ?? I gladly expect your statement on it. With kind greetings,

  • Motor temperature too low most of the time?

    Hello together, To my knowledge, it is the goal of an automobile/engine manufacturer to bring the oil temperature to approx. 90° as soon as possible. I think the display in the car is determined by the coolant temperature sensor, which should be in similar temperature ranges as the oil (or?). So the display should move to the middle area of the display as soon as possible – so to speak horizontal position – because that’s where the radiator fan starts. a Fiat Bravo 182. Is it now normal with the model that the display is most of the time far below the horizontal position? Does this mean that the oil is also well below 90° and is therefore not in ideal condition? Thanks for reading and your help already. Greetings
