  • Assyst Problems

    Hi @ all.. First of all: I found nothing about THIS problem while searching 🙁 (in the complete Mercedes Forum) So: a friend of mine drives a C-Class. Car now has to go to the B Check, according to Assyst. But the friend says that the computer only jumped about 200 km from A to B!!! CAN YOU BE THAT? When error reading there were no findings at DC. Say, everything should be OK… MfG and many thanks for your answers Kai

  • VW Golf 7 Exchange or retain Variant

    Hello, I’m not long here in the forum and don’t know if my question is right here. Now a short history: I (female, 40 years old) drive a beautiful golf 7 variant with 105 hp. In December 2015 they bought the car as a daily break for 20t € Since I broke up last December, I bought the car from my husband (we assumed a value of 16t €). But now I’ve been thinking for some time if this is the right decision I don’t really need such an expensive car. It stands 4 days a week and is not moved. The other 3 days, it is stretch of 10-15km which are covered by the car. So about every 2 months I drive but nevertheless a larger distance of about 1000km, which hopefully will be done soon (for explanation, I have a new friend who lives far away, but wants to move to me next year). Furthermore, I would like the motorcycle driver license ma and then, of course, buy me a motorcycle (if I were to sell, I might also have the money to fulfill my wish). So far so good, now is my question: Should I sell the golf and instead buy something smaller, older, cheaper? Or is it useful to say here has a reasonable car which is paid off and in the next years nothing great will happen, keep it? I don’t get to a green branch. their helpful tips that make the decision easier for me: keep or sell. Love greetings Moni

  • Used car 5 months after purchase large defects on the engine

    Hello, this is my first topic and I would like to find out if in my case the warranty for used cars could still be valid from the dealer. I bought at the end of May this year a VW Bora V5 year 2000, which had already 172,000 kilometers when buying. In the contract of the used car dealer stands of course “following costs due to mileage and year of construction most probably” and unfortunately also “oil humidity”. Now we noticed that the engine really gets damp and a g The workshop has time at the beginning of next week and then wants to tell me what is really wrong with it. After a short diagnosis it is probably due to the valve cover seal and the coolant pump licks minimally. So I have driven the vehicle now 5 months almost 4,000 kilometers and must invest now probably properly.. Is there still a requirement with the mileage of 172.000 km and these defects at all? I hope someone can help me further. Mf G

  • Car purchased, fraud, trades

    I was given a car by my father. He bought it from a guy who said he didn’t give a guarantee. Now after 2 months oil pump broke, after 1 month engine control light went on,which still glows. Supposedly lambda probe,but changed,despite that without success. Today icv examined the contract,after almost 1 year (could have annoyed me so that I didn’t do it earlier). The following,it was bought from a dealer and Ga rantie,The guarantee was not ruled out. Could you do something else? Or is it too late? 1 year is not yet around,but if you could do it retroactively, I somehow doubt it.

  • Licensed car sold to family abroad – how to unsubscribe?

    I have sold a registered car (without license plates) to my family abroad and wonder now how I can unsubscribe here. The registration office has kept all German documents (both certificates) … they are now automatically sent to Germany and my car is logged out here or is the German registration office waiting for me to appear and that I still submit the registration plates and the purchase contract? Does anyone know how this works?

  • Car sales. Car deregistered. Buyer does not register.

    Hello dear community members, I am new here and still young with my 18 years I would have a question as I find nothing on the internet. And I want to sell my CLK. An acquaintance wants to buy this with a purchase contract and monthly payment. Only he does not want to register it but wants to leave it in public, without registration. What problems can I get when the car is logged off, the purchase contract is already signed by him. If he is already the owner and e s would be his problem or do I get the penalty for parking on public road of the registered car? Thank you in advance for the answers!

  • 2,8l Cabrio needs over 17,5l at 50 km ????

    I hope you can help me further, I recently bought an Audi Cabriolet with the 2.8l V6 machine and have now asked a few questions about my fuel consumption. In the city I actually never drive over 2200 revolutions and would also say that I need there under 10l/ 100km. Was now the days twice on the highway and had it run properly. The result after about 50km goods a top speed of about 220km/h and a fuel consumption of 17.5 l after just 50km. normal, 17,5l after 50km full throttle ? Would I really be happy about some honest answers !

  • What cooling water in my Mini R56 petrol tank?

    Hello, I removed the coolant thermostat the day before yesterday. The coolant, which was in the balance tank blue-green.

  • What sport exhaust for Cooper S R53?

    Hello Minifriends, I hope the question has not been answered x times by you (I hardly found anything via the search function). So, my question to you: which sport exhaust (with ABE) would you recommend? I have now repeatedly picked up the names Hartge, Eisenmann and of course JCW. Where would you buy it then? And what about the pre-smuffler theme (pure/out)? Thank you in advance for your tips!!! Many greetings, 29palms

  • Nice shearing ! Problem gearbox

    Hello! Hope you had a Merry Christmas. Wanted to get a few little things for my dear Christmas Eve. Had driven me hard twice and could free me with spinning wheels in winter overdrive. Then on straight track at ca30km/H the automatics went off. Nothing went on anymore. On P he still locked but no matter which driving stage I chose was always idle. After 10 min everything waits ok. After 500 m again same problem. 15 min waiting and he drove again. This morning shopping came then. Automatic bangs the driving steps harder in. At the first meters she also did not want to turn up. Then she did it nevertheless what happened with a jerk. Then was again good. After about 50km mixed (city, highway, city) I cruiste with 50 where I noticed that the car did not pull so much. Schwups CHECK GEARBOX on. Automatic remained in the 4th gear also at the start. After 10 min. turn off still the leech burned. But he switches all gears but rougher. After 5min drive again only 4th gear. At home arrived gear oil rod sniffed. Bah disgusting smelled that. So burned. Dark brown to almost black. You are now the engine top and then something like that. As you know the engine had a big rep. and I just changed the turbo a few days ago. Now he is no longer a fog engine and oil consumption is also no longer. And now the gear is still IRRE Is there anything else to save?? oil changes e.g. ??
