I am negotiating for a VW Passat 1999 or 2000 model with a guy in Germany. He told me that there are ones with 2.0L 1.8L 1.6L. This is why I asked cause I don't understand what those specifications mean. Which do think is better? 2.0L or 1.8L or 1.6L.

Thanks once again.

Dereformer: What does the 1.6L 1.8L and 2.0L mean when it comes to cars?

How fuel efficient is VW passat, VW bora, and VW vento? Also are the parts readily available?

I have noticed in recent times that lots of people are having problem with their brainbox. Brainbox are not too often going bad here in the US.

I am wondering if there are just careless mechanic or something else is going on.

I just help someone shipped a brand new brainbox (plus ignition key and module) about 3 weeks ago for 2002 Jeep Liberty. He was having problem getting it programmed. I spoke with him yesterday to see how far everything is going. He told me that sadly the brand new brainbox was accidentally destroyed by the mechanic.

The mechanic is like family to him so he cannot get him arrested or make him pay for another one.

Moral of the story: I am shopping for a used one now again. The last one we shipped almost cost a total of about $900 by the time it Landed in Port harcourt. 

Felt sorry for the guy.

jobaskia: @as-salam U are quite right that fear of God is a key to ensure that marriage is sustained, but in another sense a woman is the big 'factor' to make sure her marriage to anyone should be based on how she is a able to persevere and endures the challenges that comes with marriages.

For instance, when my nikkah was just six days i was relieved from my position where i worked , but i felt undaunted and decided to move , i kept it a secret between myself and my sister not to disclose to anyone. I equally ensure i was not remorsed on the nikkah day ,the officiating alfa spent just an hour to solemnize the two of us , a lot of friends/ were very surprise they like this kind of nikkah ceremony i only told my father in- law after i got another job with a company because i know the psychological impact it will have on my wife . I ensure my parent did'nt spill the beans as well. My marriage is moving to 7th year now ,but no be beans oh . All Glory to God

In all, i strongly believed is our women to salvage, persevere and endure within the period to ensure that they do not listen to side talk, mingle with friends, they should be patient, to be contented with whatever their spouse gives them . Women are quite loving , respectable, wise and they could be gullible but still have other qualities one can really appreciate them for. Like my parent now have been married for the past 56yrs with 8 surviving children and we are all doing very well .

Its a milestone to achieve, but with the right woman, God's guidance,everything is at your beck and call.

okpara ugo: I drove my car for the first 2 years without lifting my hood. I did it like once in 3 months and whenever I did, oil and water levels remained same so i never thought it was important. As time went on, car parts wore and got older, my water pump dealt a death blow on my engine and that day the radiator ran empty. I lost that engine 2months later.

Checking it regularly doesnt mean your car is bad. Its a precaution especially if you are driving a used car.

pannyman: When I was learning to drive, one of the first things I was taught was to check my oil and water first thing in the morning before starting the car. Now that I own my own car I do that three or for times a week. Ideally, it should be everyday.

I have noticed that most drivers take things for granted and never look under the bonnet in the morning with disastrous consequences sometimes. I know how many times my vigilance has paid off, helping me detect leaky poor quality oil filters. Drivers should spare just two minutes and check their coolant and oil levels to avoid rude shocks from their cars.

Slyr0x: This is a video of a £43,000 BMW 1M Stolen at 3am in 3 minutes without keys

BMWs and other high-end cars are being stolen by unskilled criminals using a $30 tool developed by hackers to hack the onboard security systems. The new tool is capable of reprogramming a blank key, and allows non-techie car thieves to steal a vehicle within two or three minutes or less.

On-board diagnostics (OBD) bypass tools are being shipped from China and Eastern Europe in kit form with instructions and blank keys, says a news report linking the release of the tool to a spike in car thefts in Australia, Europe and elsewhere during 2012. Would-be car thieves need to grab the transmission between a valid key fob and a car before reprogramming a blank key, which can then be used to either open the car or start it, via the OBD system.

"Crooks only need to monitor a person using the key or interrogate the key fob to get enough information to decipher the key," explained Professor David Stupples, of the centre for cyber security sciences, at London's City University.

Weak cryptography combined with a security-through-obscurity approach in the OBD specification allows the tactic to succeed.

Police in the UK have also begun warning about the approach, which was highlighted by a recent BBC Watchdog investigation.

In response, BMW told the BBC that the carjacker/hacker technique was developed after its cars were designed and was limited to "older" BMW models – those built before September 2011.

The German car giant added that the issue was not limited to BMW, and promised to help mitigate the attack, in a statement published last Wednesday.

BMW prides itself on its vehicle security systems and all BMWs meet all UK and global security standards. Our engineers and technicians review all aspects of our vehicles constantly, including security systems.

After extensive research we are clear that none of our latest models - new 1 Series Hatch, 3 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series and 7 Series - nor any other BMW built after September 2011 can be stolen using this method. However, as a responsible manufacturer we are looking at ways of mitigating against this new kind of attack.

A spokesman for the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, the UK trade association, said it was aware of the issue but wasn't able to say how many other manufacturers were involved. "BMW [is] updating its systems and it could well be that other manufactures will do something similar," he said, adding that although SMMT was working with UK police forces on the issue it didn't have any information to hand on the scale of the problem.

erico2k2: Hope you realize the car is in motion not idled or motionless,when you do you driving test, in teh Uk you will be advised not to do this(drive in the nutral position) cos what happens is that you dont have full control of your car there is such thing as Engine breaking, so driving withouth the engine being ebgaged put full stress on the break system.

yusuf_@:
I use it when i'm in a convoy, mostly when i'm on a long distant journey! I guess it's a nigerian thing to do that!

For those that use it to indicate that their cars have broken down, try not to nxt time cos it cld run down ur battery, that's what ur triangle is for. i'm talking from experience.

Plus, i think it's kind of cool, it gives u a clear lane on d express, though it hardly works if a woman is d one driving d car in ur front.
