  • Process with car registration and car – insurance

    Hello guys, I really need some lessons! The vehicle I ordered is ready to pick up in mid-March 2014. Until then some things should be clarified, but unfortunately I had a leasing contract before that, in which I didn’t have to do much, because the insurance was already included in the leasing contract. Now to the question : I have already found the ideal car insurance, but not yet completed, since I still don’t know when exactly the insurance should run . (Probably at the end of March, but I’m not sure until I know when the car is actually ready to pick up). Cars – papers for the car – registration I get only at the time of collection. How does that happen in this case exactly? Do I have to request short-term registration marks and then pick it up and then take out a car insurance? So I can request short-term registration marks without a car – papers and pick up the car? Sorry for the question, but for me it sounds a bit curious. selected car insurance also gives these so-called short-term markings as a performance, but that does not help me, if I can not insure myself before the pick-up of the car. I would be very grateful if you could help me here a little bit. And sorry, if I am here for some (many) a hopeless case but I don’t really know about it.. Greetings Massimotor

  • Purchase advice Student car ~1500 EUR

    Hello dear members, I have already been reading along for some time and have now decided to open up a topic myself. I am looking for a car and hope to get some tips/stimulations/warnings from you. First of all: I don’t know myself well with cars. My enthusiasm is still quite young and therefore also my experience. However, I am quite motivated to learn and trust the grds. also to Now to the “load booklet”: -Size: preferably Kom bi, but also Limosine would be okay -Age: completely no matter, although certainly limited by the fact that I would like airbags -Safety: driver and passenger airbags, like more (but here I don’t know exactly how much safety they bring) -Price: so up to 1500 EUR, like less -Maintenance: like everyone I would of course like a car, that makes two years (it doesn’t have to last at all) as little problems as possible; I also like to learn with the AUto, a little too at the beginning, I won’t trust myself with this without professional protection – appearance/equipment: completely no matter; stuck up to the end, too; I don’t have the money to buy a car at the moment, which I find really nice and until then I can drive everything that brings me from A to B – tasks: cars should be used for small trips such as shopping and sports club and for trips to the nearby surrounding area (badeseen etc); maybe also once in the year with the surfboards at sea, but that doesn’t necessarily have to (flying and rental cars are usually cheaper…) After what I have read here in the forum and in other forums, things I should pay attention to are: – Max. 2 holders – checkbook maintained – Better automatic than manual transmission, since previous owners can’t do so much damage – not exotics, but German mass cars (more know-how in workshops and cheaper spare parts) – Short drives: petroler > diesel My situation: F reiburg (79100), underground parking would be possible, but no garage for screwing Here are a few cars I had looked out for:http://suche.mobile.de/…/details.html?…http://suche.mobile.de/…/details.html?…http://suche.mobile.de/…/details.html?…http://suche.mobile.de/…/details.html?…http://suche.mobile.de/…/details.html?… What do you think it’s worth taking a look at the ride? Would I be thrilled about tips, etc.!

  • Search family-friendly 1-3 year old car, 15-20k€

    Hello! I’m looking for a new car. I’m not in a hurry, but should be bought over the next 3-6 months. Starting point: Two children, a Skoda Fabia Kombi 1.4i from 2009 and a Yamaha ATV. Had until a few days ago my winter car (Renault Clio v.2003) which I sold to a “automobile needy” cheaply. In transition I will now have to drive with the ATV to work in every weather, but that also hardens. The goal is to drive the Skoda as winter/bad weather. Well, what we’re looking for: a combo or something like that with at least the boot volume of the Fabia Kombi (515l I think to know) , but I’d like to know a little bit more. Van, no suff or HDK. Comfortable seats than in Skoda, more hp than in Skoda, less plastic than in Skoda. Engine: petrol (drive under 10tkm p.a.) Equipment: air conditioning, good radio, trailer coupling (maybe we buy a caravan sometime) Otherwise, however, a little less than more, need no 18″ rims, me also wheel caps. Also I do not need assis or Navi ex factory. Should be relatively cheap in maintenance and the car should of course be very reliable, no driving piggy bank. (like the Skoda, in 8 years only maintenance a light bulb) Thank you!

  • Oil variety for Smart

    Greetings. Have a change of oil on my Smart ForTwo Coupe CDI, 72000KM, year 2001, 60 HP. Up to now, Mobil 1 0W40 has always been used. I had a 5l canister from France purchased cheaply, but Mobil 1 5W40, also for Turbo Diesel. Can you compare the two oils with each other, which is better, which is worse for the flicker. Drive about 350 KM a week, of which little short distances. I would be very grateful for some good advice.

  • Poor performance air conditioning, Seat Full Link

    Hello dear everyone, I hope you can help me. I’ve had a new Seat Arona 1.0L 95 Ps for a week. Unlike my VW Caddy or my Golf 6 the air conditioning cools the interior much worse. I have a manual air conditioning system. It comes cold out of the nozzles in my opinion, but the inner body is unfortunately not cooled as well as with the other vehicles. What could this be about? Are the components not so high-quality and d I also have the Seat Full Link package with me on my radio. Do I always need a connection to a USB-C from a mobile phone to a radio for displaying the apps on the radio? Or is this also possible with Bluetooth? I thank you for your support already.

  • Kia e-Niro and Hyundai Kona electric

    By increasing the premium as well as lowering the VAT, the purchase of an e-car is to be preferred. I have therefore been reading with you for some time and have, among other things, determined myself because of the range and the price of the basic model for the full promotion on the e-Niro or the Kona electric. In any case, I would take the large model with a large battery, the performance is not important, but nice. Due to the changes to the MY2020.5 it is only to become the new model, especially threep Since it will not be so much to configure and it will become my first new car, I would choose all the special equipment, so that I would end up with the Kona at 50200 and the e-Niro at 49860. Since the two list prices are so close together, it will probably depend on the possible discounts and the small differences. At the e-Niro you have a little bit more legroom behind, for that tells me at the Koko In addition, the e-Niro has an up-to-date delivery period of 8 to 12 months, I still have to ask Kona. I am mobile and unbound in time, but it may be good that due to the long delivery period the VAT is back at 19% at the time of delivery and I can pay back. Apart from that, I would be interested in experiences with the two models, especially with the current model year. Just like anyone in the same situation on the one hand or on the other hand. and what was decisive for him. Oh yes, test drives are booked for the next few days. Thank you very much!

  • Problems with TPMS/RDKS tire pressure sensors from Electronicx GmbH (Ebay)

    Hello, has any of you installed exactly these tire pressure sensors and they work?https://www.ebay.de/…/283646115205 I don’t have anything to do with them. In retrospect, they fell on top of the A*sch again. I was recommended and I bought them. In the auction it says: “The sensors are already pre-programmed and ready for use, they only have to be learned about the vehicle”. With my ignorance I thought now, install and the vehicle recognizes the Senso after a certain learning phase (car ride) of itself and everything is done. Puster cake! After two weeks and more than 500 km of car ride, the menu still shows the tyre pressure in the display: display only when driving. So the Stinger does not recognize the sensors by itself. I was back at the tyre dealer who installed the rims, tyres and these sensors to me. I did not buy the components there, but only had the assembly done. He could do with two different Only with the ATEQ reader it worked. He went into the device menu, selected Kia Stinger in 2018 and left the four sensors (clockwise) according to the default from the front left to the back left (clockwise) and said then I had to drive now 20 minutes … ???? For me illogical, because no data exchange between the car ECU and the reader took place. I thought that he now has to send the read out data via OBD to the control unit? I also have the ebayer “If you don’t have an automatic learning process, you either have to learn it stationary with a device or via OBD2. Programmed means that these are programmed for your vehicle.” I also found no information in the operating manual (on-board book). I don’t look through at all and only know that I am the doofe. For me, the ebayer’s information in the auction is wrong and the reason is rather an au I also find the procedure of the tyre dealer with the device incorrect/unlogical. But as written, I am ignorant. If I only had the original rubber sensors from Korea sent me for the same price. Does anyone know any advice?
