  • Honda SH 125 JF 09 jerks with slow high acceleration

    For a few days I have had the following problem: When I’m a relatively slow speed the scooter jerks. This is not the case with (otherwise usual) full throttle speeding. I had the lid of the Variomatics already open, but could not find a worn strap or any other abnormalities. After I’ve driven about 25,000 km The Variomatics has already changed, I tap on the Clutch. Is there something special to consider/could it be the Vario? Thank you for your answers!

  • This Eos as a second car?

    This is about: http://ww3.autoscout24.de/classified/287342159 Because of job change we first got a golf with the intention to alternately drive to the work and the car picks up the child from the kindergarten. I am 100% sure, however, that I have no desire for every two days (at least) one hour of local transport per direction and therefore look for a second car. It can be quiet also a little smaller and have optional fun fakor (like here e.g. convertible). Working distance with me is 2x20km. The dealer is not exactly at the front door (50km), so I would like to find out possible show stoppers before. With the almost 170Tkm he has of course already a lot on the hump and the equipment at our Team Golf (EZ 2011) is also a bit better. Do you have an opinion about this vehicle? Are there obvious problems? Is the price appropriate? Please look forward to your opinion!

  • Buy enhanced car?

    Hello dear people. I (Patrick, 25,) have recently been offered a car. It is an Audi A4 1.8t quattro. Everything kept very nice understated. At least the look. The good got a performance increase to 320 hp and 460nm, from the company Hohenester Motorsport. In itself this is a well-known company that knows what they are doing. The engine was drilled to 2 liters, stronger pleul, piston, cylinder head, downpipe… It’s almost all adapted, even the Getrie My question is : can you buy a car like this without being afraid that it will soon stretch its wings. The tuning has been driving for 70000 km without mucking. Only how long can you take the components to such an extent? The offer would be attractive already, only bring it nothing if the fear of durability is constantly driving along. Thank you for your answers.

  • Family foundation… but what vehicles?

    Hi, I hope to get some good advice here in the forum I and my friend are now waiting for our first child. At the moment I drive a 118d and they a Astra f. Both rather not advantageous for the upcoming situation. The following consideration is in the room. I am looking for a combo that offers enough space. My friend should get a vehicle in which she can store the stroller and possibly additional smaller purchases. I thought for myself a budget of c a. 14.000€. In my eye I had BMW 320d, BMW 520d, Opel Insignia or Hyundai i40. Unfortunately I am totally undecided about space and of course also about driving fun and comfort. For my friend I thought about a budget of about 6.000€ so rather in the direction of an older 320d or A3 SB. Since we already think about a second child I do not want to have to look for a new one in two years already Has someone experiences or possibly even suggestions? I thank already now d a I absolutely don’t know any more 😛

  • Flitzer wanted, how bad does automatic effect?

    my BMW e36 was a good idea as the first car, but a few things bother me about it and I have, well, “ps licked”. Now I’m looking for a flicker for me, important is: 4/5 door and it should have a good look, i.e. limos like BMW e60, Audi a4/a6 etc. I noticed the Mercedes c32 AMG , only one thing makes me stutzig: automatic my father vomits with his Mercedes E-Class with 130hp about that you just don’t get away from the spot, how can I see but with significantly more PS off? Is automatic still so “corrosive”? I had thought that I would like to spend less than 10,000€, because I am 19 and only have the rags for half a year and I think that it could happen to me times that I make a scratch when parked in or something like that, so first a cheaper where no high harm arises when I walk on a wall. I do not drive long distances, therefore a higher fuel consumption does not matter to me, all However, I would still like to stay in the Berreich under 12l combined.

  • First car, junk box or invest?

    Moin together, I recently made my driver’s license. Now I want to close my first car soon. Here I ask what makes more sense: 1. a “scrap box” for 1000-2000€ with TÜV new, which I drive 2 years “dead”, maybe it also lasts a little longer. Here I thought of a small car a la Twingo, Lupo, Corsa, Ka, … + cheap purchase + faster or earlier purchase, since I do not have to save really long + scratches, bumps would be relatively ega l – Risk that wear parts have to be replaced faster – running costs the same as with a newer one, I can put less money aside to buy me a new, better one in 2,3.4 years. 2. a slightly newer car (ca. from 2006) for max. 600€. Here I thought of a 1er BMW, Audi A3, VW Golf/Polo, Seat Leon/Ibiza. + newer + looks better + lasts longer? – Purchase more expensive – Purchase later, since I have to save first – Damage would be very annoying e Insurance and consumption are about the same for both. Would be cool if you wrote your opinions/experiences about it. How/What was your first car? Thank you and best regards, Dennis

  • Truck insurance for commercial transporters up to GG 3,5 t

    Own searches in internet portals for insurance, direct mail request at KRAVAG, inquiries with an insurance broker, all effort in vain. Does not insurance in Germany any more transporters up to 3.5 t? High damage rate, high fluctuations in the courier industry suggest it. I get these months a new transporter (commercial freight transport) and for this I would like to have an alternative offer to the existing one. Only with whom, who insured at all what?? Less cost-effective?? With the expected annual premium (provision) all field staff would have to run my hut!? Who knows another insurance that does not shy away from taking a risk? You know them…insure? yes, yes, concrete under water against fire… Storm and theft are unfortunately not insurable…

  • New EU cars yes/no? Family-friendly city car.

    Hello! I haven’t had a car for the last 3 years, but I need one again at the beginning of 2018. Important: Cheap maintenance costs, enough big trunk, no frills (radio&climate is enough, I don’t need more Klimbim&maintenance driving). Vehicle will drive about 8000km a year, mostly short distance under 10km. Now I’ve already shot myself a bit on a Skoda Fabia station wagon. As an EU new car with 75hp, Cool-Plus equipment. Prices around 10,500€. How does an EU new car run like this? buy? Insb. with a more distant provider? Do we order from Amazon? Does the car do anything in itself? I’m only a test in various cars. The Fabia was the best. The Clio Grandtour was also good, however, the trunk is smaller and it is about 1000€ more expensive. Dacia was generally processed to “simple”. Unfortunately, there are no other alternatives with small & cheap cars. Thank you for your opinions!

  • Pain money after car accident – negligent assault

    Hello, my question already in advance:Is there a time limit in which the causer of the accident has to contact the car liability insurance after the accident, after the criminal order has been delivered and pain money is determined, but there is no payment request yet?I had a car accident with the rented Sprinter from Europcar in May 2012, I was too slow to turn left or did not pay attention to the oncoming traffic when turning left and thus caused an accident. Both vehicles have a total damage. The owner and her occupants of the second vehicle had no visible injuries (probably only sling trauma), they have filed an indictment.In November 2012 I got the criminal order. A fine (pain money) was imposed, payment only after payment request. Payment request came in mid-February 2013. Since I had never had such a case and had not consulted any lawyer (I thought I need k one, the case was clear – I was to blame), I assumed that I would have to pay the pain money until I learned recently that the liability insurance of the rental company bears these costs. I called the insurance company and the lady told me that I had not complied with the deadline of the “notification/submission of documents – criminal order – payment request”. I knew nothing of a deadline. I’m a student and of course I’m trying to save money. Next week I wanted to get a lawyer, but if you know something, I’d be happy to have any information. I hope you can help me. Thank you for your reply.

  • Accidental victim, despite lawyer I remain on the cost?!

    Good morning together, I’m really shocked what’s happening to me…. I’ll give you a brief description of the approach. My car was properly parked and the road was parked. A neighbor drove his tractor and crane trailer backwards into my passat. He reported immediately and well. The VW contract workshop immediately told the lawyer in case of damage in the height. Well I did. 2 days later Rief hit this and I said I can now appoint an expert. llt. 290€ +49€ compensation/day. The lawyer has submitted it to the insurance company but they wanted to have their own expert look over it. After that it was only 1200€ + 43€/day. Of course the 2nd expert had painted positions like varnish. Ok with that I can have car repaired so 4 days in the workshop. Now my lawyer writes he doesn’t understand why the E… Not the 49€/day and my expert wants to count. Now I would have this Guta If I want my money, I have to go to the court. Something is going wrong here! Why should I pay any costs now? I am only the victim here in this matter. I have to report to my lawyer next week. Do you have any advice what I should do now..?? Thank you very much!!!
