#vwgolf — Public Fediverse posts

🤮 2025 war jedes dritte neu zugelassene Auto in Deutschland ein #SUV.

Mit über 950.000 Fahrzeugen erreichte das Segment einen Marktanteil von 33,3 Prozent. Die #Kompaktklasse verliert weiter an Bedeutung, obwohl der #VWGolf mit über 85.000 Neuzulassungen das beliebteste Modell bleibt.

#Kleinwagen und #Geländewagen halten sich stabil, während Minis, Mittel- und Oberklasse schrumpfen.

#car #heater not working and #coolant not visible in reservoir but hot engine and cooling fan running for some time after stop... Last mechanic invoice (<250km ago) lists 0,5 l antifreeze.
Heating was working without issues two days ago.

Surprize coolant leak - yay!

Is it a hose? Is it the radiator? Is the engine toast?

The car was cheap and in relatively good condition. It was driven <10000 km in the last 7 years, so got an oil change and Inspection every ~1500km.

Its surprising how good and reliable my 27 year old #vwgolf works vs. this 17 year old #renaultscenic . I bouht the #vwgolf at age ~23 years with ~35000km and all sorts of plastic parts, ignition coil, light bulbs and other stuff failed shortly after, just due to age. Now the #renaultscenic goes through the same process... Lets hope this phase of finding out what parts did not age well will not lead to an endless rabbit hole or wasted time/money. After all, both cars were 1st owner, garage cars.
