Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 5 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

I was watching a Yangwang U8 struggling to make it up a muddy hill on Youtube. I was wondering why cant an EV be more capable off road than an ICE vehicle. Given the fact that this behemoth has 4 individual motor on each wheel it should be able to direct power to the wheel that has more grip and stop power to the slipping wheel. Cant be rocket science right?· 3 replies

I woke up one day and I now want to buy a W140. The brain works in mysterious ways. It definitely doesn't understand the concept of money since I am nowhere near affording one.· 2 replies

Question

Hey guys,
So recently my VW started consuming oil at an unusual rate. I assumed it was due to me using the wrong grade engine oil (Was using 10W40 but was actually supposed to use 5W30) but I recently changed over to the correct oil grade 5W30 full synthetic but the problem seems to have gotten worse. Right now the mileage is 194,000km and I have been using the car since 155k. This issue only started recently. It's consuming oil at around a 1.3 liters per 1000km, there's no smoke from the exhaust but it does smell like it's burning oil.
What do you think it is? Bad valve guide seals? worn piston rings? Bad compression? (I don't think it's bad compression because I can still reach 200kmph without too much effort) The good news is I have a spare engine with only 40k on it which I imported by mistake (Long story) but before I swap In the engine, I was hoping to at least make it to 250k on the ODO
Thanks in advance
