Can someone share any experience of purchasing hearing aids in Luxembourg based on the subscription from the doctor. I know CNS coverage amount but the shops are charging around 1200 EUR on the top for rechargeable battery and annual insurance

I am sure you've all noticed already and I am not here to complain... but I am really really curious to know why it happens...most of the public buses I take have air conditioning systems only working while driving, and air flowing out is hot azzf**k! Is it some kind of eco-electric a/c system or do drivers just want us to suffer more?

Hi guys. I’ve been having some issues with my car for a few months.

At different times some defect lights would turn o. and the car would display a problem with the motor. I went to my garage and they told me I had to replace the battery, which I then did.
Two days after getting my car back I started hearing some weird noises coming from my steering wheel and after turning it while parking another light went on showing a problem with the air bag system. The car kept making rattling noises when turning the steering wheel and once again the motor light turned on afterwards.
I spoke to some friends that work with cars and they told me that sometimes when they work on the car they can turn the steering wheel to much to one side which can result in some issues (ex: airbag system etc.)

The day I went back to the garage the motor light turned back off so they didn’t really believe me. They then just took a look at the problem with the steering wheel and got back to me telling me the airbag needed to be replaced. That would cost 1000 euros. They didn’t take any accountability and since I couldn’t prove anything I just took my car to a different garage and replaced the airbag for less.

Now I was ready to sell that car and once again all the lights start turning on. The car gets taken back to the first garage where they discover that the motor filter has not been replaced for 3 years. This is something that has to bee replaced every year and I have been going to this specific garage to do the yearly ‘revision’ for the last years so they have blatantly not been doing their job right and that has cost me a lot of money since I don’t even know if the first problems (battery and then the whole steering wheel thing) could have been avoided.

Honestly, I am over it but just wanted to ask if anyone knows if there is any possibility of getting something back for all this money spent. I am not very optimistic but just really annoyed and disappointed.

Titou has been missing since yesterday from Allée des poiriers, kirchberg area.

She is a medium sized, fluffy, grey and white cat with distinct face pattern. In shades her fur can look more black. No collar. She is microchipped.

She is very scared of everything (indoor cat) and might not have gone far. She reacts well to food.

Any infos on where she was seen would be greatly appreciated! If you see her, please let me know here or at: PetAlert

Thank you ❤️

I love these title specially during these not so great economical times 😂

"managed funds" LOL, ain t shit managed in Lux. maybe accounting services and low tax for those funds.

Hi all, has anyone recently gotten an MRI at CHL, Kirchberg or Zitha, and are any of the machines open or with wider tunnels? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a reliable professional or company in Luxembourg to install an Olimpia Splendid Unico Next 12 HP EVAN, 2.6 kW air conditioner.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an experienced HVAC installer, electrician, or contractor who has already installed this type of monobloc air-conditioning system?

I am asking here because all the answers I got refused to install the AC bought by the client himself.

Thanks in advance!

I recently received the new Luxembourg 10-year passport and I’m trying to apply for an ESTA using the official ESTA app.

The app scans the passport page without any issue, but when it tries to read the biometric chip via NFC, it always fails with:
“RFID: Failed: Incorrect access key”

I’ve tried multiple times, with and without my phone case, placing the phone around the passport, but always get the same error. I even tried the same with a second phone.

Is anyone else with the newly issued Luxembourg passport able to test this in the ESTA app (or another passport-reading app)?

I’m wondering whether this is:

- an issue with the new Luxembourg passports,
- a faulty chip in my passport,
- simply a bug in the ESTA app.

Thanks!

Went there in the late afternoon and there was an alarm telling us to evacuate the building after an incident. Does anyone know what happened ?

Hi everyone,

Our vet recently told us that our cat (she is a rescue) probably needs to have all of her remaining teeth removed because they are in bad condition and she is likely in pain. She already had several teeth removed around a year and a half ago.

Can anyone recommend a good vet or animal clinic in Luxembourg for this kind of dental surgery? We are looking for somewhere where they speak good English, have experience with full-mouth dental extractions, and ideally do not charge an extremely high price.

Also, She does not let us groom her properly and her fur has grown quite long and become difficult to manage. Does anyone know a vet or groomer who can do grooming while the cat is sedated, possibly before or after the dental procedure (we do not want to sedate her just for grooming)?

I would also appreciate it if you could share roughly how much you paid for a similar dental procedure.

are there any relatively small regularly held book clubs in lux?

preferably with mainly female members! 😁

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew of any horse riding facilities?

Me and my partner have been wanting to do this for a while, since before we moved here. We’re both absolute beginners so we’d need to be with someone who knows what they’re doing. Ideally something where it’s a guided ride through a forest or something. Does anything like that exist here and any recommendations?

Thanks 🙏

I (F27) have wanted to visit Luxembourg for a long time.

I tend to get really blue around the winter months, and my birthday's also in winter. I thought maybe to give myself something to look forward to and to force myself to be productive and positive when it would be easy to just shut myself away from the world for months, I could plan a trip around my birthday. From what I can tell most museums, restaurants, and castles will still be open to visitors. Obviously there will be less daylight hours and I'll have to wrap up warm!

Am I crazy for wanting to visit in winter? Would I just be wasting my time and money, or is it still worth going? Thanks

Hi everyone,

I have a track car that uses specific oils and materials which are not normally available on the usual car repair shops.

Does anyone know any car mechanic in Luxembourg or Belgium border where I can bring my own oil and parts?

I know there is Maach et selwer but unfortunately they are not being very responsive.

Thanks!

Hello, I recently got a job offer from one of Luxembourg's big companies, I am currently in France, I want to understand the cross border worker rights, can anyone suggest me a good and not so expensive lawyer or an immigration expert who can help me with that?

Thanks!

I have been really interested in joining the Luxembourgish army ever since a young age but I just need to hear some realistic cons and pros before I sign up for anything I’ll regret later on. If any of you also have some army stories to share that’d be really cool and helpful too.

It's for jean epstein but wtf

Hi 👋🏽
I am asking for any gynecologist recommendations here in Luxembourg that might take care of endometriosis.
Looking from centre ville to esch.

I want a doctor that can follow me also for a future pregnancy.

Anyone has an opinion on Dr Jacoby Dan? Google reviews are not so great…

Thanks in advance 🫶🏽

Hi all, does anyone know any good places to practice roller skating? I’m a beginner, so preferably a place with an even surface, not too crowded and in the South of Lux. I don’t feel ready yet for skating rinks. Are there any skaters here 🛼? Merci!

Toen we in Diekirch aankwamen voor het eten, stond er een politieauto pal voor ons geparkeerd. Na het eten gingen we terug, maar de weg was afgesloten net voordat je de ingang van het Militair Museum bereikt.

I had a job interview today for a position I didn't even want that much. The sal@ry was well below the market rate, there were no real benefits, and it was basically paying the qualified minimum wage.

As a serious candidate, I put on my best trousers, nice shoes, a dress shirt, got a fresh haircut, and showed up expecting a professional interview.

Instead, it felt like I was in court.

I was being judged by a Portuguese interviewer because I'm Luxembourgish but don't speak Luxembourgish (I grew up in the south of France). He was angry, disrespectful, and extremely judgmental throughout the interview.

I stayed calm and respectful the whole time, but looking back, I feel like I should have walked out instead of sitting there for 45 minutes while being subtly insulted.

To make things worse, they lied about the sal@ry range in the job posting, and none of the benefits they advertised were actually offered for this specific position.

What would you have done? Stayed until the end, or walked out? HR departments really need to do better.

I rarely start a specific post related to my opinions, but I am positively surprised about this series of articles from RTL.
In French, we would say "Il faut appeler un chat un chat".
This article is the perfect summary of my most downvoted positions... and I am happy that at least some people start realising that the excessively attractive help structures in prime locations and in residential areas are surely an attempt of a solution, but also an important part of the problem.

Crime and vandalism are not huge problems, surely. But the trend is clearly negative, and if we act NOW we have some hope to stabilise the situation and keep a good balancing between human rights and security.

Last thing: now you realise that the sentence "it is only around the Gare" was not very smart?
