Hello Guys!

my name is Alex, I'm 35 years old and from Austria.
I've recently bought a 2013 I30 Tourer, and I registered here for getting information - mostly on "what could be modified, and how" stuff....

Thank you all for all the information I could gather already here - this is one of the most informative forums on the web!!!!

Ciao!
Alex

Hi Alex

 

My signature picture below is taken at a rasthof somewhere on the A10 i Austria..

damn, that is a big caravan you're pulling across the hills!
How did it go?

It goes very well. On the worst inclines on the A10 and through Slovenia I can keep 85 km/h in 4th gear when car is fully loaded with 4 people and a full boot + 1350 kg caravan. Avarage consumption is ca 10,5 km/liter

actually, I find that very impressive - I thought it would be a much more strenuous ride!

That little 1,6 diesel is a nice engine. Just passed 238.000 km and it doesn't even use a drop of engine oil when towing 3500 km to Croatia or Italy...

sounds like it really is!

You just make the most of what you have, young man. You have a great motor, so use it well 

And a big fat toothy welcome to the club. I do like our Austrian members...

it is alright for my daily needs - so no real complaints from my side.
