  • VOLVO V60 or PEUGEOT 308SW

    I’ve been making out for a long time with the purchase of a new mobile kit. For the selection there is now a used Volvo V60 D3 Geartronic Linje Business (04/16, 25000KM) or a Peugeot 308SW EAT 6 150PS Diesel (03/16, 22000KM). Price is 450€ difference between Peugeot (compensated) and Volvo. For the called Volvo price I could order a new car at Peugeot. I find both cars beautiful and in order of the driving feeling. It even draws me to the Peugeot. Only I really have to decide for a Peugeot because I don’t hear anything good anywhere. Everyone in the circle of acquaintances advises me about Volvo. However, the car magazines do not rate Peugeot so badly. Only they can’t be trusted either. Who of you drove both models and can make a statement? Is Peugeot really such a miserable brand? Can you almost not afford to be a car manufacturer today, right? SERVICE,GA RANTIE,ARTING, CLEAR FLATRATE PAKET complete meaningfully at Peugeot?

  • MB S204 or Opel Insignia

    Hi guys, I’m in front of the decision to buy a new car, but can’t decide at all, from the driving profile I sit 90% alone in the car but often have a lot of luggage, so it’s supposed to be a combo. 70% highway 20% overland 10% city 20-25,000 km a year. Optically I like Opel Insignia Facelift and S204 Mopf very well, however, the price is a difference, such an S204 is then at the same price slightly older or has more KM, which I don’t find tragic. If you have other suggestions, I am happy to be open, must have are: – Navi – Tempomat – Seat heating – Automatic – from 170 hp Also diesel or gasoline is a decision question. Budget should not be more than 25k, current vehicle is an Astra H Caravan, residual value 4-5 K. Thank you!

  • First car, but can’t decide me..

    Hello together I would like to buy my first OWN car this year if everything goes well. Drive a Toyota Yaris XP9 that has heard of my mother. At first I wanted an Audi A4 B6 or something but that’s through Now my heart beats for Mazda, especially I like the Mazda 3 BK or BL with the 2.0 engine very well. The technology with these cars should be quite stable, only rust should be a topic from time to time. Today, however, I have the Ford for the first time. Fiesta ST was really taken and finds it really interesting. Especially the 1.6l with 182hp is really interesting from the motor technical, also because it has a kind of overboost function, but I still don’t know exactly how this works. I’m looking for a car which conveys more driving fun than the Yaris with 87hp and it would be nice if the car is also quieter at high speeds. The Yaris roars from 100km/h already full as there is no tomorrow and that’s not the nice e Kind of roaring I couldn’t imagine driving with the Yaris to Hamburg or the Baltic Sea now, because you get completely deaf That should be different with the new car. The car should not cost more than 600€. Do you find something good for this money? Would the car like to drive for at least 4 years and it would be stupid if the car was already kneeling after 2 years because of rust or other problems. The keyword reliability should of course also I wouldn’t necessarily have to visit the dealer once a month because something is broken again What do you think of my two mentioned vehicles? Could you be happy with both cars for my budget and have a long time fun? The car should not have more than about 125,000km if that is possible for my price.. What do you think is the better car to have driving fun but also to have a longer distance highway halfway comfortable to be able to drive abel?

  • Fiat 500L panoramic roof rusted through. (with pictures)

    Hi my first post here. My Fiat 500L year of construction 2013 seems to rust the body between disk and panoramic roof. It started with the water from the ceiling lamps at the top in the middle, then I expanded the module, and one looks like the water from the Palatinate drips. It seems as if two panoramic roofs (that is fixed without opening) and the sheet zw disk and panoramic roof water stood up until it has found its way through the Palatinate. Has someone ever found its way through the Palatinate. something similar experienced with his Fiat 500L with panoramic roof? Currently I assume that windshield must be out, which probably breaks during removal and thus treat new, and then the Palatinate, and the rubber lip at the top of the roof renew to prevent re-entry. I tried to seal everything up, but some water can always still be pure. At parking Fiat 500L I have seen that at the panoramic roof the rubber is also left and right ng that this has to be a weakness, because as soon as water gets behind it it flows to the deepest point until it comes through there. But it can’t escape anywhere. Thanks for reading and I’m curious about your experiences.

  • White cable under the passenger seat

    Hello everybody, I’m new here in the forum. We bought a used Fiat 500 for our daughter. Yesterday when sucking the footroom, I noticed a white cable that comes out of the passenger seat below and the end is loose in the footroom. I didn’t notice this cable before. Does anyone know what this cable is for? Looks like a “empty tube”, a wire in the cable I can’t see. Would I be happy if someone could tell me what this cable is. LG

  • KIA e-Niro – Meaning Driving Report in KIA connect App ..?

    Moin, moin dear Foreristi … as absolute ‘newbees’ in the field of e-cars we have a question to the experts here in the forum … please excuse if our question has been asked before … should it be so, please give us a tip, or the link to the thread …. but we have found nothing … so … we have been a used e-Niro for about 4 weeks with which we are very satisfied and enthusiastic about all the possibilities it offers … a recall action we have this week also had … our question today concerns the use, respectively evaluation of the ‘KIA connect’ app and since especially the evaluation and the data in the ‘vehicle report … it is shown to us an energy, average consumption, recuperation etc. since the first day, but the data unfortunately does not seem conclusive … under e.g. Friday the 28.03. an energy consumption and an average, or the recuperation … refers to the actual values of the entire n Fridays ..? what about the other days that we can display under ‘Details of the driving information’ from the respective monthly calendar ..? it seems that only the last day, or the last journey is shown … the other days are ‘dismembered’ in various periods of a few minutes … a lot of ‘fabric’ for the first time …

  • Power??? The V8 will soon die out?

    Hi together, I passed by a solar field the other day and got a little bit into the pondering… Especially since on my side now also a few reports of “his little sister” come to a small electric car and here and there quite a resonance. Am I stingy when I drive an Audi V8???http://www.sandmanns-welt.de/?p=2560 How do you see this? Are we at the end of a transitional period to alternative energies, and is this perhaps quite good with all the fun with thick cars? S andmann

  • Demand for rollers in the engine and service C

    Hello together, I have a question again and hope I didn’t miss anything in the forum. One of the roles that the belt runs over makes noises. That means she is shouting a little louder. I just suspect that the bearing is defective and the role has to be changed. My question is, what role is it and what does it all have to change for them? Is this just the role or does this drive something bigger? I have a picture attached, which role I mean. I ask you what work you need to do at Service C. My car indicates that this service will have to be carried out soon, but I would like to do the work myself. Thank you for your support.

  • Audi 80 B4 Avant 1.9 Tdi 1z bj 94 jerks

    hi, my b4 1,9tdi 1z 90ps is jerking, but I have to describe this in more detail: he is jerking at speed (full gas), but only at certain speeds, he is jerking uphill, so somehow depending on the load. if I walk from the gas and roll is jerking nothing. the engine has no breakers, no start problems, everything ok my opinion. the jerking is also different strong, zb jerking in the 5th gear from about 120 – 140km/h he is jerking strongly, with 145 he is jerking little to even no. that’s also the case in other courses – unfortunately I don’t have a speedometer and can’t say at what turns the jerking occurs, but there seems to be a speed dependence, because this jerking always occurs at the same speeds, at some speeds he doesn’t jerk at all. but it still jerks even if I hit down at 120kmh from the 5th to the 4th gear. I read a bit in the forum and trip over quantities and n adelhubgeber as a well-known problem of this motor for jerking. a mechanic meant it could be the drive shaft or the transmission, the mechanic did not think of the quantity setting. now I need answer: 1. how does jerking by defective the drive shafts make itself felt? 2. how does drive shafts differ from jerking by a dirty quantity setting? 3. how does gearboxes make jerking noticeable 4. how can I just get out of where the jerking lies? 5. it is also written a lot that you can eliminate by “clamping the speedometer signal from the motor control unit” some jerking. how do I clamp what from ? if it is no longer jerking by disconnecting this signal, it is then due to quantity interlocking ? many thanks for your help, christian
