  • Cupra ST FL PHEV Experiences

    Moin, I would like to buy a PHEV (VZ) as a company car. Now I wanted to know if there are people in the forum who drive this car? Because of me also as TDI/TSI…..because I have never had a Cupra. Generally this becomes my first PHEV. How does the small 1.5 TSI when the battery is empty on long distance? Does the car still have enough power? What adjustment options are there, I charge e.g. at work and have 25km per distance company-home. Mainly land Can I heat the car in winter without the car hanging on the grid? How cumbersome is it to deactivate the speed warning? Do I see it right that you have to decide between panoramic roof and AHK? How big is the range of experience with full tank&battery? Are I happy about every experience report…

  • Sennheiser Sound vs. Standard

    Hello in the round, we plan to get a Born as a second car. Is the Sennheiser high-end surround soundythem worth the 750,- extra charge? We are now not the High End music lover listener. It should sound good and not too thin. At BMW I have always taken the HiFi package for a small extra charge, not the big Harman Kardon and was always satisfied. Thank you for your help.

  • A few questions about Terramar Hybrid 200KW

    I love to play with a Terramar hybrid in the VZ 272PS Variante. Alternatively with a Tiguan in the same engine variant. My question to those who already have experience with these models (I know will be difficult with both at the same time ) 1) Charging time with 11KW at a high current can from e.g. 20% to 80-100% ? 2) How many kilowatts of hours does it suck in, which are about 20Kwh indicated in the brochure? 3) Hot sound system: is there the charging floor then! no longer retractable or adjustable in a lower position? 4) heatable windshield at the terramar, don’t find anything to do with it. Is this possible? Thank you for your input/experience in advance

  • Born without WP – Yes or No

    Hello everybody, I’m looking forward to your opinions on Born without heat pump: More consumption in general, does it matter? Compulsory for BEVs, especially for cold winters? Thank you in advance

  • Start Cupra mode

    Hello, I’ve heard that after the ignition is switched on, you can switch to Cupra mode right before the start. The flaps should be open at the start of the car. But I noticed that in the speedometer display after the start, the gearbox is displayed on “D”, although the Cupra mode is set, should actually be displayed on “S”. I have to switch to Cupra mode again in the display afterwards.

  • Used car warranty at Cupra Leon ST plugin-hybrid

    Moin! I decided for a Cupra Leon ST as PHEV (EZ at the end of 2021, 30700km) and signed the purchase contract. Now the dealer tries to give me a used car warranty from the GSG (belongs to CarGuarantee). I can only choose from 36 months. The dealer thinks that actually everyone makes such a guarantee with a hybrid. I have actually already decided against it, but unfortunately still have my doubts. Hybrid system be covered, but I see a lot of negatives in the net for the CarGuarantee and don’t want to throw my money out to the window. But if the guarantee is good, then the gut feeling would be better. Why would you advise me? Does this make sense with a PHEV?

  • Damage – evaluator himself choose or from the insurance

    Good day, my wife had a car accident today. She drove on the road at about 50 km/h and a car parked and caught the car. The police estimated the damage at 800,– €. A friend of the motor vehicle machanist and the workshop say it could also be around 4,000 €. The opposing insurance is the Huk-Coborg ! (my colleague warned me of the insurance) Before I reported the damage there I wanted to ask myself if I should agree with whether from there e in expert or if I should not agree with it ? After this the expert simply says a bit of spatula and paint finished. And the workshop says here what of the body must be sown and rear door as well as bumper must be renewed. Above all I do not know what consequences this then possibly has. 1) Also have legal protection insurance. 2) Would like to have the damage completely repaired in my contract workshop. 3) The complete Serv I will of course not take ice from Huk in Ansprcuh. Thanks for a few tips and hints. I attached a picture of the damage. Greeting Datalife

  • Mppedmarken and Mopedoldtimerversicherung for 25Euro ???

    Hello insurance friends, – I wanted to buy an older Ostmoped from ebay classifieds and unfortunately only get evasive e-mail-answer from the seller. It is about the following vehicle:http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/…/167818618-222-3594?ref=search The seller claims here that from 25Euro a classic car insurance would be possible. Now I already know a classic car insurance with cars (which is often available from 30years and if you can prove if my first car drives quite cheaply) . Now it seems to me with the moped registration mark with the oldtimer insurance quite strangely diced. I now have 5 different mopeds (of which 4 are over 30 years old) and I am not informed so far that there are mopedoldtimer insurances, then I had thought that this Jawa50 could be a motorcycle which has to be driven with the correct car registration mark (registration and all other duties like Tüv etc.). Insurance badges and even after I check with the seller he means that the moped always runs with normal insurance badges (i.e. February until February). So what to understand in this curious connection with oldtimer insurance for 25Euro, my opinion was the Concordia with 60Euro/year (with shortening possibilities) almost always the cheapest of course not limited to oldtimers…under 55Euro I have never seen a moped year badge, who clarifies me b on ?

  • SL 55 vs SL600

    Hello municipality, I have looked at several SL55 and SL600 in the last time. Actually, the decision was made per SL600. It just gets 90% closer to my driving time, even if on the other 10% of the 55s really makes more fun. And I write “actually” the 600 is a bit too high-legged. Can you change that? Ideal would be if you set a different value for Benzens on any ECU and it is 20 mm lower. Please don’t. misunderstand, he should not grind on the ground and become an “ant killer” but discreetly 20 mm lower would be already what. Is there any particular difference in operating costs? With tax and insurance they are absolutely the same and both do not drive with horse apples but petrol but what does it look like with the service? I guess there is no big difference, but it doesn’t know. THX Klaus
