  • Motorway consumption XC40 Single Motor Extended Range MY24

    Hello, I’ll be able to choose a commercial car soon. Requirements are – electric – under 60,000€ Originally I had a Model 3 in mind, unfortunately there is no more available. I have come across the Xc40 now and I really like it. The only key point: Since I work in the field service I have many rides on the highway and am a bit worried about motorway consumption How is the consumption of the XC40 on normal motorway ride? Speaks 120-140km/h? Is one thanks to the Improvements now closer to the Model Y or EV6 or would these vehicles be more suitable as a field service vehicle? Or am I thinking too much about it?

  • 964 Carrera RS turbo

    Hi Here once again a technical treat …. The thing lifts a little bit over 420 hp and over 550Nm on the waves. With around 1’250kg of fighting weight you can get a little bit of a pulse. To have in Switzerland for around 53,000 Euros. At around 88’000km. Rest of original RS. Questions to the connoisseurs: Is it a pity to “basket” an original RS like that? Can one still move such a thing at all reasonable, off the track? How long does this make the mechanical base of the 964 RS Of course, everything “remote diagnostics” … but I would really like to know how you think about such a car. Because that would really be something that would make me want to get rid of excess financial resources. Salut Alfan

  • Idle speed problems

    Hello friends, I have a problem with my new Forester (09) and the Teleflex system. The idle speed fluctuates after starting from about 500 to 1000 revolutions. First it goes up, then down again, then you hear a hissing on which it rises again. If you then drive with the car everything is OK until you get to a traffic light. There it shakes the car in idle speed noticeably. I often panickedly switched to petrol because I thought that the engine goes up immediately, so h The whole car shakes like a lowrider. On petrol everything is then suddenly quiet again. So must lie on the gas system. Ideas??? Thank you!

  • Volvo XC60 adaptive speed controller does not respond properly

    Hello together My XC 60 behaves a little funny. The following problem occurs sporadically when I drive behind a car with an adaptive speed control on, e.g. adjust the controller to 100km/h and lead vehicle e.g. 97km/h I drive the speed to 120km/h and the lane change does not accelerate automatically even though it is not a vehicle in front. Only after passing through the accelerator pedal it accelerates after a certain time. I still have a video below Does anyone know this mistake or what is the cause of it?

  • XC60 2020 all warning lights on

    Good morning in the round, for a few months now all warning lights are on regularly with my car. Handbrake not available, ESC, failure, transmission service required and and and and and. After some time, however, the lights go off again. Now I also had to change my start stop battery and only had the hope that it will get better afterwards. But this morning already all lamps on again. Has someone had such a problem before? Many greetings

  • New product line from Tesla, but no car

    Elon Musk has announced a new Tesla product line for April 30, 2015, which is not a car. What could that be?

  • How can we destroy Tesla?

    Hello 1. Let’s just start with the fact that all the real experiences can be reported here, be disheartened. 2. Then all subjective disadvantages (because everyone has to drive 5000km daily without stopping) are presented so exaggeratedly that nobody wants to buy in. 3. If someone dares to write something positive, he is bombarded with senseless statements and related, the first comes back. See here (positive report is immediately torn apart) So we can do a lot of things. Well, no one wants a Tesla. Then we can continue to drive our burners for no reason to worry. Have fun with it. If you didn’t understand that the sarcasm is, I’m sorry, but a spark of truth is already in here.

  • Do Tesla drivers still have a burner as a second vehicle or is the Tesla even the second vehicle

    Hello I come to this question because the following statement is in the room: Quotation: @Mobi Dick wrote on 11 April 2016 at 20:53:14: I thought the just Model S driver no longer have a burner. Please only Model S driver answer and write in the comment how the situation is. Probably here also many will have no Tesla, therefore only with comment.

  • Windscreen tinting and alarm system

    Hey guys! I’ve been having the following problem lately: By spring I wanted to have the rear side windows and the rear window glued with tinting foil for visual protection and thermal protection in summer. So far, so good. But since I have an alarm system, my thoughts about possible problems with the interior sensor are enthused. The radio antenna is no problem. But what happens to the sensor loops produced on the disc, if you just glue it over? Does the inside function? nraummonitoring then still or is the film cut out around the sensors, because the things seem to be in the direction of the interior? Maybe someone already had the same problem and knows how to report. Thanks and greetings
