Does the interior trim of the new VW Teramont still crack? My car is almost two years old. Can I still claim for a new interior trim? I didn't think much of it before, but now it's starting to bother me.

Hey car enthusiasts, I'm having some brake issues with my 2010 Volvo S80L. The brakes work fine when moving forward, but there's a chance of brake failure during short-distance reversing. A few days ago, when I changed the brake fluid, it was noticeably slow to drain out before adding the new fluid. Could it be that the brake fluid line is clogged? The brake pads are still quite thick, so I can basically rule them out. Any advice from the experts? 😬😬😬

To replace the dust cover on the gear lever of a 2018 manual transmission ZS, follow these general steps: 1. **Remove the Gear Knob:** First, unscrew or pull off the gear knob, depending on its attachment method. 2. **Detach the Dust Cover:** Carefully pry off the trim panel around the gear lever to access the dust cover. This might require a trim removal tool to avoid damaging the panel. 3. **Remove the Old Dust Cover:** Once the trim is removed, you'll see how the dust cover is attached. It might be clipped or screwed in place. Remove any fasteners and take off the old cover. 4. **Install the New Dust Cover:** Position the new dust cover in place, ensuring it's aligned correctly. Secure it with the clips or screws you removed earlier. 5. **Reattach Trim Panel:** Pop or screw the trim panel back into place around the gear lever. 6. **Reattach Gear Knob:** Finally, screw or push the gear knob back onto the lever. Note: These steps are a general guide. It's always best to refer to the vehicle's manual or consult a professional for specific instructions related to your car model.

Can I still consider getting a 3.6 from 2017 to 2023 after a few years? I really like this model but I'm not a fan of the new Cherokee design. Plus, there aren't many 3.6 models from 2017 onwards available in the market. Our family car still has about five to six years before it retires. I'm worried about buying it only to face major repairs. Can I still consider getting one with higher mileage by then?

Seeking advice for my first car (also just starting to drive). Budget around 400,000 RMB. Should I choose the Genesis with options or the new BMW 5 Series? I'm almost 35 and might have a child in the next 1-2 years. I feel like the Genesis doesn't have enough rear space, but I'm really attracted to its looks. The new 5 Series is quite controversial, but recently it's had significant price cuts, so I can afford the top trim, and it holds its value better. Could you guys help me decide?

Hey folks, what's the insurance cost for your 2008 in the second year? My car's almost a year old, and I haven't had any claims so far.

I recently got a 2013 1.4T VW Touran with 110,000 km on it. It's been owned by one person before me. Currently, the big electric fan isn't working, but the small one still is, and the water temperature isn't high. I'm planning to replace it in a few days. The only issue right now is a whistling noise in 5th gear at 70-80 km/h. It doesn't happen in 4th gear, only in 5th when I accelerate, and it stops when I release the gas. 🙂‍?️ Seeking advice from experts—is this a transmission problem?

Can the new Zeekr 009 still use the old 009's 11KW home charger? My car is arriving soon, and I asked Zeekr today. They said it no longer supports 11KW and theoretically can only go up to 7KW. Can anyone who has picked up their car clarify this?

Does the G80 have any interior odors? I used to drive an XC60, and it didn't have any smell at all—the cabin was very comfortable. However, Volvo's soundproofing isn't great. I took a ride in a car-hailing service today, and there was an indescribable odor inside the car. Not sure if it was a plastic smell or something else, but even though it was faint, it made sitting inside uncomfortable. I don't know how the driver tolerates it. I test drove the G80 and noticed a bit of a smell, but it wasn't unpleasant. It definitely can't compare to a new Volvo. I'm curious if the smell will still be there after one or two months. With my previous XC60, even after being parked under the sun, there was no noticeable odor inside. Any G80 owners care to share their experience?

How is the new chassis of the Zeekr X? Is it still as soft as the old model? Has anyone test-driven it or are there any owners here?

I’m someone who likes a car to be practical and comfortable, so I was looking for something with enough space. Honestly, the GLC surprised me! The rear seat space is excellent, and the trunk is more than sufficient without any hassle. Sure, it doesn’t have a spare tire, but personally, I don’t need one—especially since it’s a daily-use vehicle. When it comes to interior design, Mercedes is always ahead. I looked at cars like the S90 and Q5 before, but I felt the GLC suited my taste more—especially with the natural wood trim instead of piano black, which gets dirty and scratched easily. The only thing I didn’t like about the interior was the speakers—they look very plain and don’t have any branding, so they feel like something’s missing. Driving the car is comfortable and stable. The 260 model with around 200 horsepower is more than enough for my needs, and I didn’t see a reason to go for the 300 model. I also test-drove the C-Class, but I found it too stiff and not comfortable, especially over bumps. Fuel consumption is currently between 8 and 9 liters per 100 km in the city, and since the car is still in the break-in period, that seems reasonable to me for a 2.0 turbo engine. What really bothered me, though, was the downgrade in features due to the parts shortage—especially the Burmester sound system, which they removed from all the new trims! I was planning to get it, but it completely disappeared from the catalog. On top of that, if you want to install it later through the dealership, they ask for over 30,000! Honestly, I’m thinking of going to an aftermarket shop and getting a good sound system installed myself. I moved from an old BYD to the GLC, and I can say honestly: no car is perfect, but the one that fits your needs is the best car for you. Sometimes you should look for what’s most suitable, not necessarily the most luxurious. And when you find a car that truly gives you peace of mind, you feel completely satisfied with your decision.
