Good day, I have now driven 1200km with my up! It likes excellent, a lot of comfort, fast enough and the design has succeeded very well! I am happy to drive with it every day. But I have a little problem with the Maps&More Gerat, especially when I play my Ipod. The Gerat squeaks and creaks then sometimes, about once per minute (or once per two minutes). Has someone done the same thing? The Gerat is well connected in the dashboard I think, so what is I only noticed this when playing my Ipod (I have hardly used the radio yet).Other problem: the music of my Ipod beats over when I play it with maps&more Does anyone have the same thing? Greetings from the Netherlands!

Replacement car in case of warranty?
Hello, I’m just a bit loaded… I was just in the workshop because of an extremely loud (!) swarming tank and the “known” problem with the loud clutch. The service employee was quite nice (after I waited a 3/4 hour) and quickly admitted that this is not normal. He also took another up! and we did a round to find out that the “normal” up! did not have that… But now to my question: The service mitarbe Iter had already “dangered” me that if the car had to stay in the workshop (you first wrote to VW) there is NO free replacement car, because VW would not pay for it. I find that really a cheekiness high 3! Since you buy an expensive car from an expensive manufacturer, even has a MOBILITY guarantee and what happens: There is no replacement car. I then meant that you could book it under service and then the friendly one meant, if you do this with everyone If you could not offer any more service…. Ne, ne, ne Servicewüste Deutschland How is that with you? Some of you were already in the workshop because of warranty cases, did you get a car? Who paid for it? VW or the dealer? So VW Automobile Stuttgart can’t recommend it from the bottom of your heart!

Rockfall
So have the next problem with my up! But this time he can’t help it. This morning during the ride suddenly a loud bang and at the noise immediately recognized, that was probably a rockfall. During the ride I already looked for something but found nothing. The car, that brought the stone in rolling so to speak, was at least 80 meters before me because it had rained heavily and I had kept a big distance. Just wanted to clean a little bit of the beautiful aluminum and how the chance so I want to see it, the great rockfall on the driver’s side down in the corner. Fear that the disc ( after only 9000 km ) must be replaced because it is 3 cm from the edge and it must be according to Carglass website at least 10 cm from the edge.

Gear ratio
I wonder if there’s something wrong with the engine control. If I blow it up (white up 75ps) from lower speeds up to the 6.oooU/min there’s a , two areas where it gets somehow more air than fuel…there’s some lack of passage (if you can speak of passage at 97NM torque at all) … The real problem, however, is that in order to get to top speed, I have to blow the kid up to 175kmh in 4th gear and then in 5th gear. ng the speed can only be kept on a flat motorway and can still increase (sometimes on the A5 behind Karlsruhe), until then 185kmh on the clock stand… There is a problem with the engine control, the injection or the like before or is this simply a shitty transmission installed, because I can therefore save the 5th course for hunting as well as so well… Thanks for hints and tips. The VW Fritze on site is great, however, I have no time and desire with the around, because the anyway “experienced ” The Wolfsburgers have to collect until they officially let something out…

CarPC instead of SAAB computer and CD
Hello! Since I want to install a CarPC in my SAAB, the question arises: can the SAAB computer be completely expanded, and the functions can be displayed via the display of the CarPC? In theory there are two possibilities: 1.) keep the computer, and only the messages, or values instead of the SAAB display, can be displayed on the new 7/8″ monitor, 2.) also expand the computer, and the functions can be controlled, measured and displayed via the CarPC. The questions arise from this. l 1: how do you connect the SAAB computer to the monitor, or in case 2: is there a program under Windows or Linux that calculates and displays the values that the SAAB computer does? (Consumption, average consumption, and all that is displayed.) Has anyone already done such a thing, or heard of such a thing? Ew. even solution proposals are ready? It would be nice if you could put the whole CarPC in the armatire board, and if both CD, as well as SID and computer can be expanded, There’s room enough for the CarPC.

Diagnosis of cylinder head gasket
Hello, despite the minimum 82,000 km our Sabb Cabrio, Bj 2001 now has a problem – the cooling water disappears. Otherwise it is appropriate nothing to notice – only that the corresponding message always appears in the display. After 4 days driving across the city – me many traffic lights) since the diagnosis almost 2l new liquid got. But after a short time the display shines again. Therefore urgently and quickly what has to happen … Lack of brand workshop i In the area I have always had a few small gypsies done at ATU, which I found perfect. Now they have given me this diagnosis, but can not carry out the repair, because only parts have to come directly from Saab – and certain special tools are not available. Now I have read several times that it could also be the screws from the head … but I have to say that on the front area and right (if you are standing in front of the open bonnet) Olsuppe can also be seen, d he runs up under the block. Not so that you can see any spots when parking – but nevertheless probably no Lapalia. Therefore my question into the forum, whether someone has an info, what I could possibly check (with the scrubs – does that come into question at all?) and where in the area Potsdam or near Berlin a good and price-fair workshop can be found? Thanks for your information and help Frank

My new Tourneo Custom L2 Titanium X – Experience Report 800 km
Moin moin, so now I am also the owner of a Ford Tourneo in the Titanium X equipment. I would like to report here from time to time about my experiences of above-mentioned vehicle. Now the car has about 700 km down and what I have noticed so far. The individual seating layout: It is widely advertised with countless (OK there are 30) possibilities to convert the seats. In my view it is a bad joke. There are hardly any possible things. You can’t build the front seats to the rear. The photos are different in width. You can only install the seats with integrated beverage holders in the middle, the seat distance cannot be changed….. The driving feeling: We also drove the V class before the purchase and decided against it, because, even if it is surprising to one or the other, I wanted to have the transporter feeling. And that’s what you have in the Tourneo. But also countless Also the suspension and steering correspond to a transporter rather than a car. I would have imagined that driving with residential trailer (1200 kg) more pleasantly. But I also read before that an empty tourneo tends rather to “nicke” at the rear. Let’s see how it affects longer distance. Today it goes then towards Spain. Which is also a joke, but we also knew beforehand is the trailer load with automatic transmission. We would have liked to have had one but about 1000 Kg of attachmentsla No wonder you can see so little Tourneos with WoWa. It’s really a market gap. But since we have only driven switchcars so far it’s not a big change for us. Circuit is very well tuned. Consumption: Well, that’s how 8 and 9 liters were on the first 800 km, with gentle driving. Equipment: It’s actually all that there are so many assistants installed. I’ll report to the assistants after our big tour. So, that’s what it should be for the first time. Itere reports follow. But now another question for those who have also bought a new Tourneo with 170 HP of mud gear: How to drive the car from the best? Gives ten suggestions on the net. From moderate to no matter. So then until the next post. Greetings Mica

Newbie at Saab, 9-3 as a winter car ?!
Hello all, I have never driven a Saab and therefore hardly any idea about it. However, I am now interested in a 9-3er, motorization eig. no matter, I want to use the car as a winter car and put the current convertible in the garage in the winter. Can you tell me if the particular car is a reasonable car for my purposes ?! I drive highway, city, country mixed, however in the total 6 months where I then want to drive it in winter no more like 8,000 km. sweg is short distance (8km easy). What does it look like with reliability, repairs, rust etc.. I choose one of about 98 or 99 with under 125,000 km. As said, PS are not so important to me. What should be taken into account in particular ? Automatic transmission recommended ? Thanks already ! Greeting KIK

SLC R172 BJ2018 Radio DAB does not receive all channels, what could be the cause?
My SLC bought used this year has the command with DAB tuner + Harman Kardon sound system. It is built in 2018. The reception of DAB stations here in Stuttgart is very good, but unfortunately not all. Many stations are missing mainly those of the antenna DE like Beats, 80s80s,90s90s etc, i.e. those of the second federal mux. Have had the car with Mercedes, they found nothing, cause would be: my command would have only DAB and no DAB+. I can’t believe that. In the price list 2018 from Mercedes the Comand was offered with DAB+. Who has an original Comand DAB until BJ 2018 and receives all channels? or has the same problem? To find the cause, I need information, someone has a Comand until BJ 2018 and receives all channels, such as Beats, 80s80s,90s90s etc.? Does the Comand with DAB have a separate radio tuner? or is everything installed in the Comand? Could the cause lie in the defect of one of the two antenna amplifiers, which left and right in the A column are installed? or can anyone give me more helpful information? Thank you very much in advance. Greetings Martin

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SLK
Hello everybody, it’s been a while since I was active here in the FOrum and now I also have a new vehicle My SLK 350 was now just to the TÜV and I need a new end pot at the rear left (TN: A1724911701). Unfortunately the original part is not available at Mercedes and has to be “produced” for me. Availability date before March 2025. But until March without TÜV??? Therefore the question to you experts: Where can I get my wanted spare part? Bay and small bay offer only parts for the SLK 200 – they probably don’t fit (??) as other part number. Other suppliers are from Ukraine and Russia or Sweden – I’m honestly not sure if the parts would ever arrive… I hope someone has a great source here and can help. Thanks already now for all comments Sundeck
