  • VW Scirocco (diseases with all ?)

    Hello people , I’ve already read something here which makes me a bit sad ?? I’m driving now (at the age of 26) an old Opel Astra F of 94 who just cracked the 100k km (all still original , got it with 19 from Grandma and the only drinks with it 1x a week ??) Now my budget for a “newer ” is at 16.000€ . I’m really interested in the VW Scirocco , but now I had to find out in this forum apparently the mei n looked out (1.4L , 160ps , BJ mid 2011 ) massive problems eg with the control chain has (chosen has 69k down ). Is this the same with the 2.0 L & 211PS machine ? I’m really not the expert on cars , therefore the probably some stupid question whether the problem occurs with all Sciroccos (switch as well as automatic ) ? What would make me absolutely white glow , would be if the “new” car breaks directly . I thank you for your help

  • LPG used up to about 3000

    Hey, I want to get my first car. Since I always have the choice between train and car, I would like to have a car with LPG – because otherwise I would only drive a train The car can be quiet older and does not necessarily have to be a beauty, but would be quite nice of course. It would be important for me that it (probably) survives at least 2 years. Now I have heard the one or other opinion, but really conforms there (as to expect) no one. I also have some vehicles. found, search criteria were TÜV, tires, KM up to 125,000, year of construction from ~ 2000 and of course the price. However, there was not the right thing to do. Is there anything that I absolutely have to take into account with a used gas car? E.g. Seat can’t be extremely high with LPG, maintenance costs at BMW or what does the vulture know… As a budget I have not set the fixed limit yet. However, it can be maximum 3500 Euro with TÜV and tires. Also gladly only up to 2500. Maybe someone from A good suggestion for you Dear greetings and thanks, Achso, the size of the car is not really so important. Shouldn’t necessarily be a Ford Ka, but whether Astra or Zafira is basically sniffing me – one nice, the other practical..

  • Annual car vs. new car

    Hello dear ones, îch just need a neutral opinion: Currently I drive a polo style (built in 2012). Now I would like to exchange my beloved first car for a bigger car: Golf Variant (110 hp). Test drives, many conversations etc. have already taken place at VW… now only the question arises – new car or annual car?! The following offers were made to me, with examples:New car Golf Variant “Lounge” BlueMotion 1.2 l TSI 81 kW (110 hp 6-speed car price: 25.30 0 With special equipment: 27,090€ My car will be taken as a down payment with 7800€. Overall I would then be with a loan sum (+ interest, blabla) at 21,626 € Advantages: 5 years warranty Maintenance Plus for 12,90€ plus extra requests are in the lounge package with in-house annual car Golf Variant “CUP” 1,2 CLBM 81 TSI M6F With all Pi Pa Po… (business package, trailer, parking assistant, multifunctional display, Climatronic, blabla…) much that is already in the lounge. In the car price: 21,776€ Advance payment for my car: 4000€ (would consider selling it privately beforehand) Loan amount: 19.301€ Disadvantage: 1 year warranty So… annual car vs. new car.. that makes a price difference of “only” 2000€… Actually I was so far for an annual car.. you can beat something out pricely, but the difference is so low.. and with a new car I get a great guarantee! I also don’t know how far I can still act… Maybe give t it here yes a few neutral advices Dear greetings, Helena

  • Flap spray with ABE or removal

    Hello forum, after a long search in the net (not more hours but already days), I decided to open this topic, because unfortunately I did not get satisfactory answers from dealers or from forums. It is about my Dodge RAM-VAN B250 Camper-Van, year 1992 with 5.2l machine. The currently installed exhaust is soon at the “abgammeln” and should be replaced penetrated. Moreover, this is so quiet that I sometimes think the engine is off. uspuff, actually rather a turnout with manual (or electrical) operation, so that I have something of the V8 for short distances and can make it quiet on long distances as well as at the campsite (I am a considerate person). Space under the vehicle is enough, therefore I would imagine that I would go with a pipe into a normal, quiet silencer and with the bypass into a sports muffler. Also does not have to be in the 3-digit db range, wants only “a bissl blubber Can someone recommend a suitable system or “softness” to me? As I said, it doesn’t have to be too loud, so I think that the TÜV has nothing to complain about in case of a single decrease because of the volume and I don’t want to “screw” anything on cat/gas values. Thank you for your suggestions and suggestions. Robert

  • Balancing machine Schenck ASG Rapid 20

    Hello, because of a workshop resolution I came to a balancing machine of the brand Schenck. The part comes from the beginning of the 90s and unfortunately there are no awards for it. Is someone still in possession of an operating manual or can tell me how to grow aluminium rims with it? Steel rims are no problem. The type designation is: Schenck ASG Rapid 20 Thank you in advance

  • Hip protectors – your opinion, please!

    Moin! I have the pants “Sciara” by Held and the dealer has supplied me with the following hip protectors: Quattrotempi protector SAS-Tec (these parts with the honeycomb pattern) And these parts make me crazy. They constantly slip, fold and wrap up. That this not only makes a butt big like a truck, but also is extremely uncomfortable, I don’t have to mention it any further. I pack them neatly unfolded into the appropriate pockets, pull up the pants and have them as K It looks like an apple in the pocket! And they can’t really perform their function efficiently either. Because they’re so much on the pointer that I’m thinking about leaving them away… nothing good and before such a security-conscious person like me comes up with such thoughts, there’s already a pressure of suffering. Has someone with other hero protectors had better experiences and can they recommend it to me? Or are there models that fit universally? n and can be used across brands? Sometimes just driving to the outfitter is not…I live here in the outback and can not even cheerfully rattle the shops.

  • Motorcycles with manual light range regulation

    Hello Together, I’m currently looking for motorcycles with a manual light range regulation that can be operated without tools. As an example: Yamaha FJR 1300, for the left and right headlights has a regulation over Bowden trains. Just such a system I am looking for.http://imageshack.us/a/img690/6941/fjrlwr.png brand does not matter. From the model starting from 1000ccm2. For what the whole thing? We want in our screw round the legal use of Xenon light launchers rn without paying a fortune. There is the legal basis, but the light width regulation without tools is our last obstacle. I ask for comments like “Xenon on the motorcycle, that is illegal” to save, who has serious interest can write to me gladly. Thank you and greeting Michael

  • False residual value determination by SV

    Hello, I just registered here because I hope to find help here. I had an accident on 14.03.2008 without fault. I ordered an expert who determined a damage altitude of 20900 Euro as well as a WBW of 24200 Euro. As far as so good. He determined the residual value with the help of Autoonline (not known by me) with 11330 Euro. I now wanted to calculate on WBW – residual value and have connected with the car dealership mentioned in the report in g Now the problem my car is a right-hander. The car dealership would not like to have the car now and the next two bidders also not. All 3 say that it was not clearly described in Autoonline that it is a right-hander. A car dealership even called the SV and asked for an opinion. He had only given the answer that the insurance company and Mrs. F…(I) must care about it. He had indicated that it was a right-hander. The insurance company already has the report with the lawyer’s letter that I want to calculate WBW residual value. I am now animally afraid that I will remain on the accident car and no one will take the blame. I have hardly slept for two weeks and just left myself alone and overwhelmed with the whole. My lawyer also doesn’t have a plan. If someone has experience with such things please answer.

  • Car purchase private engine damage concealed

    Hello! I bought a Smart from Private 2 months ago. The day before yesterday the engine suddenly started to tick, the car did not drive faster than 60 kmh. Go to Smart with the car. Problem described, then the good man entered the vehicle data into his PC and found it. On 18 December the previous owner was in the same Smart Center with similar problem, the car was completely checked there. Diagnosis: Turbocharger torn, consequence engine damage, as well as various other defects. The damage was caused by On December 21, the seller was at the Dekra, had the car presented and examined there. The damage that Smart found was not confirmed there. Dekra Siegel was given. Then we arrived, looked at the car, looks good, all reports, except on the one of the Smart dealer!, were finely stapled. Sounds like a good offer. Purchased for 2600 euros. From the examination and diagnosis of the Smart H We then had the car checked again at Smart, maybe the damage was repaired in another workshop. However, this was clearly not the case. Summary: Car bought from privately, seller has not kept a good deal of information, sellers only hesitated to report, will probably be slandered by the friend in the future. Based on the statement of the Dekra seal. Does anyone know if the Dekra can even look into the engine at all has someone experienced something similar, or has someone got tips on what I should do now, since I think I have a right to withdraw from the contract, or seller has the car repaired, or I sell the car and the seller gives me the remaining sum…?? What should I do? I have legal protection insurance after rolling my documents stupidly! unfortunately not.

  • Double card! 85euro for what? What is the insurance coverage?

    Hello! I picked up my new car about a week ago. How I heard about my insurance and got me a double card. So I went to the registration office and got the 5 day registrations. Now I didn’t get my car with my old insurance anymore. So I went to the new insurance and I got a certificate from there to get the right registrations. So when I was going to the old insurance company today I thought about it. the cost now 85 euro. Yes, something like that. For 5 days 85 euro? And that with a lumboiegen liability insurance! Now my question. I was not told that this costs 85 euro. I also signed nothing or something. Is that right now with the 85 euro? How high is the insurance protection exactly? Mfg Patric
