10 More Funny German Words For Car Parts

20 Mar 2017

On March 12th, I created a post about funny German words for car parts. It went absolutely viral, currently sitting at about 200 likes. Now, 3 months later, it suddenly went viral again! And so I’m finally going to create a Part 2! 10 more words invented by a guy with a broken spacebar… Good luck pronouncing these! And in case you missed it: Check out Part 1!

1. Oil Drain Plug

'Ölablassschraube'

2. Mark Holder

'Kennzeichenhalter'

3. Low Profile Tires

'Niederquerschnittsreifen'

4. Muffler

'Endschalldämpfer'

5. Headlight Washer System

'Scheinwerferreinigungsanlage'

6. Fog Lights

'Nebelscheinwerfer'

7. Speed Limit

'Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung'

8. Speed Bump

'Bodenschwelle' / 'Tempohemmschwelle'

9. Locking Differential

'Differentialsperre' / 'Sperrdifferential' / 'Selbstsperrdifferentialgetriebe'

NOTE: The first two are commonly used, the third one I found on Wikipedia. It was just too gorgeous…

10. Car

'Personenkraftwagen'

My personal favorite would be the injektor: “einspritz düze”

So who else tried to pronounce these and failed miserably?

I have a new ölablassschraube and kennzeichenhalter on my personenkraftwagen, along with a set of niederquerschnittsreifen and a performance endschalldämpfer. I managed to grab a pair of yellow nebelscheinwerfer too! On top of that, I also plan to get a new doppelkupplungsgetriebe in the future, once I have enough geld.

(It’s obvious I don’t actually know German…I’m sure some of the German words must be capitalized!)
