  • Register winter ice cream or not ???

    Hello people after a long silence I get back to you and need a little information since my Mondi is driving perfectly after many small defective ones. I don’t have much to write about it. but I’m glad that everything fits again (knock on wood just three times) that it stays that way. now to the question so since yesterday I have my winter tires on 205 / 55 / 16 on steel rims(looks at the K**** but is only the winter) however as already known in the new vehicle only one size for matures is registered my tyre dealer said I would have to ask Ffh for an application or such a safety certificate but I would have to pay with 15 eurons which seems to me personally very expensive for a sheet of paper to print out. therefore my question I get problems at the next police check ?? I have to have the matures entered at the Tüv or does this funny certificate and I get the only one at the Ffh? Thanks f or your laboring in advance, and grinned to all Milek.

  • Seat heating: wobble contact or temperature dependent?

    Hei Leutz, my seat heating is spinning… the last days at temperatures of 0°C she didn’t go, today it’s just +12 and she’s going again… Question: Can it be that the seat heating is “somehow” connected to the climate control, or (outside) temperature is dependent on it? Perhaps so: At low temperatures it heats more… With today’s cars with CAN bus and all possible automatisms you never know what is related to it. Or is that just a wobble contact in the wiring? This is why I’m not running back to the WS again and only reaping “dumb” answers, but I’m also prepared for them.

  • Autom. Abbl. rear-view mirror in Mondeo MK3

    Moin together, I have in my Mondeo MK3 BJ 2001 this automatically blinding rear view mirror in it. Last winter it worked as far as I know without problems, but lately the part just doesn’t hide anymore, unless I washed my car Actually, the mirror should only have a sensor that points backwards and determines the brightness of the descendants and one forwards, which maybe determines how bright it is outside. At least I think that it is so fu Does any of you know this problem, or does anyone have any idea what that might be about? Because every week in the car wash I find it too expensive.

  • Mini Countryman SD 4 ALL Aut. Consumption

    Hello I have a question to all Countryman SD 4 ALL Aut. Drivers. How much is your average consumption? We have a countryman bought in 2014. Currently 15tkm are driven, but the consumption is not less but more. My wife drives approx. daily 90km work path. of which are approx. 80km highway, 6km highway and 4km city. It does not rest, on the motorway cruise at 130-140kmH. The average consumption is 8.7l diesel. t from the indicated average consumption of 5,9-6,1 far. Of course we also criticized it several times in the car dealership. BMW then arranged a consumption test, which the ATH also carried out. Test was driven without light, without ventilation and radio etc. (probably with 50kmh) According to ATH the vehicle moves within the specified framework At the moment we also don’t know what else to do about it, except to use the local transport. The Mini Clubman we had before was driven with 5.2l diesel.

  • Light sensor does not work after disc replacement

    Hello together, after a disc change at ATU (due to workshop binding) at the R57 the rain sensor was no longer working. This had to be reactivated, which cost me some additional workshop visits at ATU and Mini. Now I have noticed that the light sensor does not work either. Didn’t notice me in winter, because I generally drive with light. ATU does not seem to get the error solved. Before I now drive to Mini again and if necessary sit at the cost bl iebe, here is the question whether someone knows how to activate the light sensor again. In the on-board computer, by the way, “day running light” is disabled.

  • Buying advice to Mini Countryman

    Hi, I’m looking for a countryman for my wife. Since I didn’t drive a mini or have a big idea of this, I’m asking here for tips on what to take and what better not. At the online exchanges and the mini homepage I looked around a little and looked out the following criteria: – Mini Countryman Cooper (122hp petrol) – black metallic – seat heating – Xenon – PDC rear – sliding roof – from EZ 11/2014 (same facelift ???) – up to 20,000 km run – sports seats – 18″ Turbo Fan Rims optional: – Navi – leather seats or partial leather seats from private there is probably not at all in the equipment, mostly all former rental vehicles. What should you take, what better not? Where should you pay attention to the former rental vehicle at the mini?

  • Short purchase advice – Mini Cooper S

    Hello together, for my girlfriend a Mini Cooper S due to the price limit of about 10 – 12T€ and not too much km, it must be a R56 with 174PS. I have read through some forums and unfortunately read again and again that the 174PS engine should not be so great. Now I have the opportunity to come to one of the first Cooper S with 174PS EZ was in early 2007. The vehicle is apparently from first hand and has quite good equipment – Hifi system, Panoramic adach, partial leather, chilli package, seat heating and still a little snappy. Vehicle has almost 79 TKM and is first-hand. Checkbook-kept – brakes, air-conditioning evaporators and chain tensioners were changed only recently (chain tensioner already for the second time at BMW). What do you think you can pay for the vehicle 10 T€ and have the feeling that you had a good offer and a normally good car. Nobody is inside but for me the question arises, if the Engine series up to 120 Tkm is recommended or rather less… Vehicle had no chip tuning and was rather leisurely driven by a woman – so the theory :-). For me the following questions arise: – Is the 174hp so much worse than the 184ps – so in terms of stability – Is the purchase price good or does the vehicle bring in three four years with 120TKM still 6-7T€? current DAT is about 6500… – Would it be better to save a little and then a Mini JCW to the engines are supposed to be a little better.. If our first mini and liked it I also do wg. of the Go-Kart-Feeling… Would be grateful for one opinion or another.

  • Purchase advice.Mini Cooper

    Hi Community, I’m currently looking for a Mini Cooper. Would be my first car. Found now also one that I like. However, the good vehicle has 3 crack points: 1.He had a wild damage. Front apron was changed, bonnet painted. Does the car count as an accident car? 2. Has left, right, back each a scratch of about 5 cm. Does a paint pencil help there? The paint is brown shiny. 3. The car was during inspection, but the stamps were not attached. The mini checkbook is empty. However, the dealer would give the car to a BMW branch office for inspection and registration. How important is it that it is registered continuously? Is not the last entry in the checkbook relevant and proves that everything is correct? Key data from the car: Bj 07/2011 Mini Cooper 122Ps 42t km mileage Price 12,000 Incl. guarantee (Intec All-in-one Premium) / BMW inspection Is this what or should I prefer the Fin Don’t do it? Cheers

  • Intelligent Park Assist / Trained parking

    Is there anyone of the Terramar drivers who have used the above assistants and can report whether and how well the whole thing works? Somehow you can find nothing in any tests / reviews of the Terramar. Intelligent Park Assist or the trained parking is advertised here among other things (scroll down piece):https://www.cupraofficial.de/vehicles/terramar/technology and is also part of the packages Intelligent Drive L + XL. Would you like to share your experience with me? If someone knows a video where it will be tested, of course, that too.

  • Shortly before purchase : Countryman SD

    Hello everybody, stand very close to the purchase of a new Countryman SD automatic. TwoThree questions I would have still there … maybe you can and might help. – The radio will be the “visual”. What equipment do I have to choose at least, so that I can connect a normal “USB stick” with MP3s ? – I would like to have the single seats in the back and then the long centerrail – in the configurator I can not get that! Is there a certain equipment variant (JCW ???) with it I get the single seats in the back ? – The HarmanKardon sound system. Is there actually a subwoofer integrated ? I found here in the forum unfortunately no information about it. Unfortunately I can not ask the friendly mini salesman, the whole is a little “wrong”. Therefore would be great if I could clarify this here. Thanks ! JNR
