  • Order from Schubert !!

    Has someone ever ordered something from them ?? So here are my experiences with the company Schubert. After the Essen Motorshow I had ordered something from them or asked for the product after the delivery date !!! At that time I got as an answer that I had to wait about 2 weeks for it. I also agreed with that. Unfortunately I still did not have the article yet !!!!! I then asked several times (in 2-3weeks distance ) for the Lierfertermin ( by mail and telefonisc h ) and always I got the answer … that the article would be available in the next two weeks and one would report to me!!!! So now already weeks and months have moved to the country and I still did not have the article and has never reported to anyone ! Since I now no longer have any desire to crawl into the A…. anymore or afterwards to phone can they keep their articles and I will look around otherwise for the things or other conversion measures after. mmen. Have still understanding if a new start of a product leads to difficulties, but then I may not make fair promises to my customers about delivery dates and other things! How do you see this ?? Or what experiences have you made with this “tuning company” ?? Am I the most common one that has been treated like this ?? So dear mods … hope you don’t close this topic right away, since I think about such experiences you should also be allowed to discuss!!

  • Vivaro Kauf – Gearboxes and brake questions

    Hello everywhere and to the transmission experts here! I’m about to buy a Vivaro (BJ 2011, 114 hp, 104 tkm, Leasingreturner). When we wanted to test it, the gear shift did not work – it couldn’t be put in a single gear – nevertheless, an employee could somehow move it from the parking lot into the hall. Seller said “This is certainly only the stick and not the gear itself” and told me after a few days that this would be repaired. Now the F Rage: Can something be said about the possible condition of the transmission on the basis of this situation? If it has been moved like this, what does it do with the transmission? Can it be that it was only “the rod” or the rope hoist, which has worked out (?) or so and the transmission remained completely untouched by it? or is that more like: Experience shows that this is the pre-registration for the fact that you need a new transmission very soon? Or something else? the brakes: service brake in front: slight differences brake discs in the rear: be aware of the condition Is the renewal of the brakes coming to me soon? Is there quite insecure before the decision. We were not there again for testing. About assessments/experiences I am happy Veronika

  • TT Quattro Sport

    Hello guys, today in Ingolstadt my dream car picked up the TT QS. I’m thrilled. 2 things I noticed, however, where you might give me a hint. 1. The turbo whistles immensely loud, sounds great, but I’m not sure if that’s normal. I’m a 180 hp test drive, there was almost nothing to hear. 2. When I give gas he accelerates nicely. But if I just take the pedal and then he doesn’t immediately take the gas, he br Is this the typical turbocharacteristic? Look forward to your comments!

  • GPS traffic safety

    Moin Everything is built into the cars/sold for safety, it is a real advertisement among the providers, e.g. who has how much airbags or who does how well in accident tests, whose driving assistant is the best etc. What I am surprised about is the following: Almost every modern new car has a navigation device on board which can track the GPS satellites to determine speed and location. The device also knows how fast you can drive where and warns the driver. rer. Why is this information not coupled with the motor control? That is, where 100kmh is allowed to be regulated at 100kmh, at 50, at 30, at 70..usw… The map material of the Navis is regularly updated, would have to work, wouldn’t it? That would be a cheap safety gain, I guess 50cent/Fzg, and no one drives too fast anymore. The radar traps could at some point all pack up if all Fzge have such a device, still takes 20 years. The next step would be to connect all the GPS-Fzge with each other, who drives just where how fast, then you could also regulate the distances, nobody drives closer than allowed, would be great or? This of course restricts the freedom of the driver a little bit but when we had to buckle up also nobody asked for the “freedom”, the highly praised safety should be worth it. Gruss Willy

  • My 1er has zero grip and slips away to all possible sides 🙁

    Hello together, today was again a horror day for me. I come from Düsseldorf, so now not from the deepest snow-covered Upper Bavaria. Today I wanted to drive home from the university, and had to be terrifyingly noticed that my Einser once again had very little grip. A slight tapping of the brake has already been enough that the 1er slipped around uncontrollably. Also when changing track he lost control … a classic smooth ice situation. He is even today to a The other people could ride reasonably decently. I then sneaked home at 10 km/h and am very pissed. Winter tyres are brand new. Recently, I always test the grip … so just touch the brake to see how much grip I have … usually it slips SOFORT. Is this the wrong approach? Should I ignore this? Or would you even recommend snow chains to me Are you afraid to drive the 2 km to my family tomorrow 🙁 That was really bad today.

  • Car up to 3000€

    Hello dear community, due to an education it is forced to time for the first own car. As a budget are about 3000€ available for purchase (the less the better of course) and a little reserve for any repairs (etc.). The insurance would run on my father. Public transport was of course also considered, but then I would need for the short distance almost two hours per drive, since the connection is not exactly outstanding The car will be weekly 5x 50km In addition, in the leisure time on weekends, maybe 30-40 kilometers. Long journeys are definitely not planned. Due to the not all too long distance and the higher follow-up costs, I thought of a petroler rather than diesel. Otherwise, I have no all too high demands. Power from 100 hp would be nice and a station wagon should definitely not be. Much more can not be demanded in the price range, right? Now the usual candidates are so far Op el Astra G and H, Peugeot 206/207, Ford Focus and once in a while a Mazda 3. Do you fall in again? Are there reasons why I should definitely paint one of these cars?

  • Used car: Reliable combo up to 25,000 EUR. Manufacturer certificates?

    Hello together, I have to buy a new used one. Budget is up to a maximum of 25k€. May of course also be cheaper. Age should not exceed 3 years and 60.000km. I don’t need much equipment in itself. Parking aid, seat heating, air conditioning, cruise control, electric seats and mirrors suffice. (Or is there still a must-have nowadays?) The only thing I care about here is good connectivity to the smartphone. Performance, from 150 hp, due to the current It is also important that it is family friendly (combi) and offers travel comfort for long distance on the motorway. Otherwise, reliability is crucial. It is important to me that the technology is as robust as possible. The choice of brands is about: Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Seat, Skoda, VW Since I don’t have a look at the used car market at all, therefore the question which cars are currently best suited to the requirements, and which ones offer most for money. t you recommend the Hersteler certificates? So e.g. “Young Stars” from Mercedes? It is important to me to keep the risk as low as possible after the purchase. Which certificate would be the “most efficient”?

  • PCX or NMAX?! No garage!

    Hi together, I’m short, I bought a b196 and would like to buy a scooter now. I’ve calculated and sorted out 2 scooters for a very long time. The Honda Pcx and Yamaha nmax. The yamaha nmax is supposed to be more splashy but I like the look of PCX better. And with PCX the handlebar should touch the legs and at nmax that would be no problem. I’m 190m tall and could not test both. I called yamaha and at Honda unfortunately both dealers kei n only for the test drive. They would seem to be very popular so that they would be sold immediately. Does not have to be a new one therefore look at small display also there I found none that is less than 350km away. Anyway I saw the pcx 125 2021 model and am about to order before. Now I wanted to ask you what you think about it? No test drive made and blind pre-ordered? And have a problem in general, unfortunately I don’t have a garage. in electric 45’s scooter that was always standing in front of my house door. Because I couldn’t park in front of my house door because it’s a combustion scooter. They don’t have an alarm system, and on my street it’s not very bright at night. I hope you can help me somehow. Thank you
