  • Purchase decision Ceed SW GT-Line Used or new car

    Good day together, we are currently looking for a new vehicle in our families. Due to our new generation (9 months) and a possible second generation, we want to increase our car technology a little bit. We decided for the Kia Ceed SW in the GT-Line variant including all packages (full equipment) in the color Experience Green. Kia offers the best P/L here in my opinion. Above all, I (man) was very pleased with the panorama roof. We are however unsure whether With these offers it is more worthwhile to get a used car or rather a new car. Used cars Km-Stand: 19.800 km First registration 02.2023 Was driven according to the car dealership by the Kia field service Price: 31.690 Euro New cars / day registration Price 35.440 Euro Shipping time: already ordered 03.2022 however the car dealership has not received an exact date of Kia The equipment is exactly the same for both vehicles. What would you advise us to do? Thank you and greeting Botom

  • Brake discs at the Kia after 12 months – Tragbild – especially in the back – your opinion

    Hello people! Do you also have such brake discs or what does the supporting picture look like? Car 1 year run with the brake discs. Do they look like this? The first pictures are attributed to the front axle, the last of the rear axle. I thank you very much for your comments in advance.

  • Photo documentation /humidity/ water intake

    Hello all, I bought a kia in March 2022, production was from November 2021. I had immediately after 3 days covered the windows from the inside, after another 2 days water entrance. Lt car dealership would not have been properly adjusted. Had after that nevertheless here and there the windows fogged. In November 2022 one front right into the side drove me and caused a damage of almost 9500€. In December 2022 the car was frozen for the first time by inne N!!! ( March 2023 2x ). January 2023 was for the first time water-sample inside the windshield (confirmed by the car dealership) . I am desperate, nobody can tell me why, why, why the car is slamming, water-sample is on the windshield or freezes. Lt car dealership would be nothing to find. Does anyone still have an idea ??? The lawyer of the opposite side is of the opinion that I would bring the whole water into the car and man breathes out 8 l of water a day, therefore it would be normal ????????? I don’t know any more advice and I’m really desperate. I added pictures

  • Does the switch need more than the same car with 7 gear automatic? Ceed SW Diesel 2024

    Hello, maybe I’m out as an idiot, but my friend has exactly the same car, same equipment as me. A Ceed SW Diesel switch while driving an automatic. I now have an average consumption of ~ 4.8 liters at 7000 kilometers and I’m traveling about 900 kilometers with a tank filling. My friend needs an average of 5.5 liters at 8000 kilometers. I drive mixed highway, country road, city. My friend drives mainly country road and highway. We s but while he rather criticizes the passage, I have no objection. Can it be that the automatic needs less? The Ceed with automatic has a little more torque. Greeting Heinz

  • Vectra C Caravan 1.9 CDTI vs. Opel Omega B Caravan 2.5 DTI which is better?

    Hi Leutz, first of all thanks for the lively sympathy for my Omega death. Now I have found nothing really clever about the search function. Maybe one can help me now for the new used something very torn back and forth! Think maybe even at 525d Touring or E-Class 220 cdi Caravan or if feasible Vectra C Caravan VFL 1.9 CDTI. My wife and I are not conclusively tending but more to the Omega 2.5 DTI because the purse is very strained with 1500€, and just is not in it anymore! Everyone knows the Opel has the best price-performance ratio so what should I do? Thank you for your help and experience! THX TheONE1279

  • Battery light??????????????

    Hello, this morning I noticed that the batt. light was very weak (constant) had light on (XENON) and when I turned everything on (fog light, radio, blower at full level, back disk heating (with mirror) seat heating front re+li etc.) it gradually became minimally stronger and when I switched everything off gradually it became weaker. Independent of the motor speed, the whole time did not pay attention because it was a bit brighter in the morning. PS: have still guaranteed on the e box what can this be a lighter or battery or normal???? mfg

  • 225/45/R17 – Silentest rolling noise?

    I’m currently driving the Conti Sport Contact 5, which was the test winner in the current ADAC test. However, the rolling noise seems quite loud to me. However, I’m also a bit sensitive to the topic. I’m annoying something like that. Now the engine and wind noises are quiet, but you can hear the tyres clearly for that. 😉 In the test, the tyres don’t seem to give much in terms of comfort/roll-off noise. Nevertheless, the question. Can someone recommend a quiet tyre to me in the dimension? Edit: T Itel revised

  • Do I have a restless gas foot?

    Hello, I drive the ProCeed GT BJ2020 automatic the following is noticeable to me. If I drive through the city in normal mode with 55KMH, then I also stay at 55 and the car runs quietly its way. If I do this in sport mode, it runs a little “unsettled”. That means I can not keep the speed at 55 but it fluctuates between 53-57 and the speed of course also fluctuates. If I test this with the cruiser, it runs quietly in both modes. So, I guess on my foot even if I don’t realize it, right?

  • X1 xdrive25e / X2 xdrive25e winter tyres

    Hello, as some from the X2 thread already know, I ordered an X1 today. It will be a winter vehicle with all-wheel drive (X1 xdrive25e). Delivery time is 11/12 2020, but I thought I’m already around WR. A popular topic on motor talk I’ve taken the X2 times in the title, I think what applies to the one also fits the other. I don’t ask now the stupid question if with an all-wheel also the SR is enough. I definitely don’t want to drive with snow and need to mature with a snowflake, quite officially WR. That’s clear. 225/55 R17 97 W is right? Costs in the net so good 50 to 120€. Cheap actually. There are also all-year tires with snowflake, which lie at about 100€ to 150€. You can think about that, I don’t want to change anyway, I will ride season marks, large too big 6 months for the winter. But also there are many months to be warm for pure WR, still hardly worth changing? So then all-year mature n? On the other hand, the “real WR” in the snow is better then? I didn’t see stubble tires, I suppose that’s not recommended. (maybe not allowed at all, or technically possible, no idea) If someone has made this absolutely write! I know the X1 is not a safari car, but I will drive “oefter mal” field paths and meadow. Most of the time however, landstr. (mostly calculated by km) highway almost not at all. w Ps.: if someone gives a hab smoking wheelset he can tell me.

  • BMW rims M400 completely rotted after 4 winter.- Normal?

    Hello dear forum, I have on my BMW 330d from 2013 (F31) the original BMW rims styling M 400. First they were mounted 4 summers, then 4 winters. I admit that I don’t care for special light well or often clean (tuga aluminum devil green). But it can’t be normal that rims, which are marked as “winter suitable” after 4 winters are already so rotten and defective: varnish bursts large area, yellow and black discoloration, bubble formation,… -> Images s Is this “normal” for Aluflegen after 4 winters? Is the quality of the BMW rims bad? Is it the rare cleaning? (“Winter rims” have to cope with brake dust and salt?!?!?) The rims can no longer be saved. But I think about which rims I will drive in winter in the future. Thank you for your brief assessment.
