  • MOTOR SL350 R230 vs. R231

    Hello, I have been thinking about putting a Sl in my garage for a long time instead of a BMW 6er. I want to cruize 90% with the car rather than flip around the corners. I drove the SL350 with 315 hp before a few Montaen times, and the engine seems not to be sooooo suitable for it. The car has good power, but only if you turn the engine properly. But that’s not my driving style. The E400 Cabrio goes to the point quite differently. The engine would also fit well with the SL. I think the Sl500 is a bit too oversized for me, because the running costs seem a bit too heavy. I would like to comment on the R231 SL350 engine. Is the engine slightly weak on the chest even in the lower speed range like the R230 ?? Is the engine in the R231 actually a slightly modified R230 engine? Finally I would have a question about the Young Stars warranty. If I Buying a car, e.g. 1 year old with young stars warranty, do I have 2 years warranty or 3 years from purchase? Does the young stars warranty run from the end of the factory warranty, or immediately from purchase parallel to the factory warranty? Thank you, and greeting from the pot.

  • How much more would I get?

    Hello! Would you like to sell my 80s in the near future? According to DAT he has still 2070€ dealer discount. What do you think I would get (private sale) 2.3E, Europa S-Dach (electric sliding roof), Ez 94 185000km, sheckheftgepflegtgepflegtgepflegt!!!, summer/winter tires, driver airbag, outdoor mirror electr. The following extras are still included: middle armrest, Ffb for ZV, rain sensor and just the spoilers etc. I made the side skirts because one has suffered in winter and out of it But if it were still repairable (but unfortunately it doesn’t bring anything or not much on the price) inside it is absolutely top and outside it only has a small dent on the tailgate

  • Consumption at the 2.3er too high!!!

    moin,moin sufferers and colleagues… I would need your advice and suggestions about what I could do. short description: audi 80 cabrio, 2.3, 187 tkm consumed in the city with really normal driving almost 15 liters on 100 km. I find that too much! what I have to say is that the “snorkel” was removed from the air filter box over to the bender. why can you think for sure…SOUND ! can the more consumption be related to it? and what can I do? n, or check for defective ones, what could explain the consumption? the days will renew the ignition plugs, the air filter and the distribution cap….. so, especially the young ones among you with real idea, please write a few tips….always many thanks…

  • brake anew. But…

    Hello together, because I have shown here the catastrophic condition of my front brakes, but unfortunately find the thread no longer. at least everything is now renewed. there are new discs of carpenter and new coverings of ebc on it. with the coverings it is about aramid fiber coverings. so, now it is since the change but so that my brake sounds like a circular saw. also after the brake I have this high noise for a very long time. today I have the coverings again ra wes, because they were sitting very firmly in the guide and were greasing about it until they really let themselves be moved absolutely easily. but the noise is still there. does anyone know that, maybe one of the same disks / surface combination drives? I have now been about 500 km with the new ones on the road. while looking at my photos I noticed something else. is it prescribed which side you make the perforated disks? is there a running direction?? that I had b a the assembly not considered at all. here again a picture of the old brake

  • Trust is good, but not in the forum..

    wants to share with you today an experience of me that does not directly have something to do with cars, but quite with “our” forum. when I sold my car the buyer wanted the original and not my FK grill. so I gave up an exchange offer FK for original in the forum offer, which also immediately MarcaCoupe reported. I was glad to have found someone that I already knew something from the forum and after we had exchanged the addresses I sent from When a few days later the original grill didn’t arrive, I sent Marca a PN, and he told me he had twisted the postcode and the package had come by. no problem, I just drove without a grill. again a few days later the post had allegedly lost the package after a fire. some more speeches back and forth I became suspicious and got his phone number and called. he promised to send the grill immediately. this is j over 2.5 months ago, I have no grill until today, he can be denied on the phone and answers neither on letters nor on PNs. after a last call this evening I will probably report. long talk, short meaning: I just wanted to warn you not to trust the people you mean to know too much, not to have something like that on your neck……

  • Motor bearings broken !?

    Hello people! I bought an audi cabrio 2,3 e last week for the summer 😉 I was a bit more sporty with it yesterday evening… now the following happened… there was suddenly a poltern coming from the front area while driving… sounded like if a exhaust rubber had been torn (audi 80 sickness) it only came when driving and when switching the noise… and if the vehicle with running engine was a bit “uneven”… shortly before I had shuffled with in-between gas. tet… speed high.. clutch off.. and give chain 😉 if you understand what I mean 😉 so I drove to the dealer this morning so that he could look at that… diagnosis —> engine bearings broken !!! is the normal thing that breaks through once “intermediate gas” ? so this jerk was the cause ? are the so sensitive ? or should something else have been the cause ? and must the dealer stick for it or I !? the vehicle ran 124 TKM and had a front damage once 2 years ago but has been repaired in a professional way… keep available for this from AUDI VAG company ! a thank you in advance

  • Vehicle and place of residence in the profile?

    Dear motor talk community, I would have the following suggestion to make: I would like it to be useful if you could specify in the profile the vehicle that you are driving and the place of residence. So I mean that it is displayed on the left of the posts. This would perhaps also eliminate the problem that you often don’t know which car (bj., engine, etc.) is involved in problem inquiries. As it is now, some have the information about their vehicle in the signature (like me) and some Sometimes it makes sense to know who has which vehicle. If you don’t want to specify it, you don’t have to do it. What do you think of this proposal?

  • Tool/workshop equipment

    Is there a corresponding section on this topic? Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything, but I think it would be interesting and important. What is your opinion on this?

  • Newbies write questions in blogs

    Hello, when I browse through the latest blogs, I noticed that there are many newcomers who have just started at m-t, opening a blog to ask questions there, which of course remain unanswered. Is certainly not meaning of the thing. Is there a mod for the blogs that is helpful here? Or can you protect such beginners from yourself, in which you, for example, like the Avatars, can only create a blog for people who allow a certain minimum number of people have written posts in forums? I wonder how to start with a blog as a newcomer here. Is the reference to the blogs so big that you can’t pass it? Maybe you can get a very clear hint when signing up that makes the difference between blogs and forums clear? Greetings, Olli

  • Avatars Copyright infringement, they mean it seriously

    Hi have read on shortnews today, how does it look legally, do I have to say goodbye to my simpsons avatar??? I think other users are also affected here who have pulled their avatar out of the net. Avatars on the net can have costly consequences
