The car is in a far from perfect condition: rust on the rear sheet, massive damage to the front with paint breakers on the bonnet, paint bads, airbag lamp does NOT glow GAR, cruiser and FH rear li. do not go, the immobilizer has given up its mind 500m after the purchase at the first tank stop and had to be renewed, he cries under load like an old tram (differential? Kardanwelle? Wheel bearing?), the engine can also be used as an oil source so licks from somewhere (probably crankshaft-simmerring), the alleged replacement engine with 140,000 km consumes on 4,000 km long distance with moderate (sleep) driving mode with no more than 4000 u/min 5 l oil, the tire is under all Sau - rear No-name M&S with 160 km/h speed rating, front 12 year old Fulda Y 2000, it would have to be measured also urgently, hand brake rope on one side off, the last maintenance according to checkbook was before 50,000 km. The interior is a super-duper hifi system with monster loudspeakers and is well pierced by inserts and fittings; the tacho needle hops like wildly back and forth and tensiones in the drive train while shunting it. In addition, the whole board has been completely dilettantically integrated and expanded and hangs completely crooked in the area.
Besides driver airbag, climate, cruise control, ski bag and seat heating at the front, he has no extras and a black velour interior.
So in principle the typical 5th hand V8, which is sold again and again when there is a repair to be done again, which is to cost the salary of the next three months. TÜV and AU had expired since April (!) (which I couldn't find out because of lack of license plates), but it was only shut down at the end of September. I have made the TÜV new, of course, because of this leaking engine and the non-functional hand brake promptly failed. Together with the new immobilizer, 570 Teuro are added to the purchase price, plus the much-due major maintenance with all the drums and drums. Well.
BUT: The fuel consumption was 9.2 liters according to BC and measured 9.7 liters/100 km ! Motorway Tacho 130, 765 km petrol station to petrol station without stopping and then refueled 74.1 liters (until it came out up again) I could not believe that you can come with a V8, and certainly not with a carelessly maintained, actually under 10 liters, but on the return trip it was the same - with traffic jam and stop-and-go 766 km and 75.3 liters. I also took 6 hours and 38 minutes for the 765 km, so that the speedometer is not sooo strong and I only drove real 90 :-)
Has someone installed a TDI transmission with a saving translation (my speed was 3200 rpm, climate compressor was off) or are the cats empty or what else can it be?
Who else has such a model and can give me its consumption values? My automatic has consumed almost 13 liters with the same driving style.
I just wanted to drive him until I found a better one, but if I caught a consumption miracle here, I'll keep him. Besides, the manual transmission is fun.....
The whole electronics/electric works (except for the cruise control), the seat heating works, the transmission switches perfectly, no scratching or rattles; ALL lights in the cockpit and door panels light up (except for the airbag lamp) and the windscreen seems brand new.
I'd just like to ask you a few questions.
Who knows a competent workshop in Südbaden (Landkreis Offenburg, Freiburg) that knows the good piece? Was already with VAG-Geiger in Kehl, they were also ok, but if I let everything there, I can buy the shop right away
Who knows a French insurance company (resident in Strasbourg, France) that covers the jewels without wanting to get premiums to insure the WTC against terrorists? After all, the car taxes are eliminated here, so that at least ETWAS is saved.
What could that be about the airbag? I have a terrible suspicion that someone pulled the lamp to cover up a mistake. I didn't have an airbag before, and unfortunately I didn't notice it until too late. Can I take the dealer into regency?
Found the car via mobile.de - the man has asserted that he is a private man, but has 5 (!) cars to sell at the same time. I would not have any inhibitions to pursue it by any means, should it turn out that I was linked with the airbag. That was the killer criterion, apart from the circuit - I wanted one with a driver airbag (no passenger airbag wg. ==References==
Does it make sense to have an expert report, BEFORE I have everything done? Where can you have that done and what does it cost?
Thank you.
Bastian
