VW and Audi are some of the most frustrating cars to work on when it comes to electronics. Amazingly unreliable machines. Where is this German engineering everybody is on about? Is that what won them the war? oh.. right...
I drive a Audi myself, had just a problem with my airbag, but it was fixed pretty easily, but I know what you are getting at. That is why I want to drive older cars with much less electronics. 😀
German engineering at its finest! Hardly any electronics in it!
Hardly anything at all in it, lol cool little cars though.
Classics💪
I think it’s more german ENGINEering, not german RELIABLEELECTRONICSering
Electrical engineering isn’t a thing? hmmm thats funny pretty sure it is, also mechanical engineering is used in electronics just as much as electrical engineering is. In a typically German way everything is drastically over complicated and built with inferior quality materials. Tiny little servo motors everywhere that are totally unnecessary, and everything is redundant in German cars, meaning if one thing breaks likely a lot of other things will break as a result. If you think ENGINEering only has to do with an ENGINE then maybe you should head back to school because you couldn’t be more wrong.
“Did you try turning it off and on again?”
Clearly somone here has never owned an Alfa 😂
I dont need that kind of stress in my life lol
Now we are getting somewhere :) Yes in the this time of course the japanese models were the most reliable ones… And at least the germans were trying and developing new things even if they weren’t that reliable the first time… Nowadys everyone is “copying” them… Just to add: the quality issues with mercs came from the cooperation with crysler ;) And just because in a little episode you had a bad experience with the passat and the 3 series all german cars are unreliable, brutish and lack of grace? I just couldn’t leave it like that because it’s a simple lie… There may be some but the majority are great cars that are pretty reliable… And in the past… Where the americans produces 2 1/2 tonne vehicles that handled like a drunk tree the german mercs and bmws were truly reliable and very graceful machines… So to compare the language to the abilities in engineering is a really low standard…
Sry I posted it here it was meant as a response up there haha
The language example was an analogy really, I’d prefer to speak German rather than Japanese, but their culture really emphasizes grace, and tranquility. Can you honestly tell me that is an attribute of the German language? But my experience isn’t based on just those two examples my friend, it is literally a decade of the shop being full of German cars and little else. Perhaps the Germans only send us the crappy cars because frankly we don’t know the difference. I remember the owner of the shop trying to turn somebody away as we did not service diesel vehicles, but turns out it was just a really rough sounding Jetta petrol, I remember thinking to myself that a diesel engine shouldn’t sound like that and nor should a petrol either. This is all way off topic though, the only point I was trying to make with the meme is that German electrical systems are notoriously complicated and plagued by faults so fixing them is a headache, it’s not that it can’t be done, it’s just frustrating and often times infuriating, do you at least agree with that bit?
Hey Martin, I was looking at your meme on the r34 being praised as a super car killer and I saw you get in an argument with a kid named carguy07. I just want to let you know that he is infact 12 and has had several accounts with the “carguy” name. Don’t take him seriously and save your energy. He has been caught out many times and he reports anyone who goes against him.
Lol thanks, I know all about him, the carguy05 faked my account. honestly though i’m not sure it’s the same kid though.
