  • Display “Travel information”

    For “driving information” the average consumption is displayed for each minute in the form of a vertical bar. If an “E” appears in the bar, then that means that 30 WH have been recuperated. Questions about this: 1. Sometimes one of the bars is interrupted. What does that mean? 2. Occasionally only part of an “E” can be seen. What does this mean? It cannot be a pixel error, because the respective bars migrate with their fragmentary E or their interruption after link s.

  • VW Up on the highway – Which engine only?

    Hello together, we are about to buy an up. The car would be used mostly for the rides to work (a distance 30 km, ~25 km highway, rest of town) as well as for smaller routes across Cologne and the surrounding area. Now the question inevitably arises which engine it should be. We tend at the moment rather to the 60hp engine, but get the 75hp motor to the heart of many other (not up) drivers. Is the 75hp engine on the highway worth? That the engines are the same and is the 75hp engine, especially at the desired speed of 120 kmh – 130 kmh, similar to the 60hp engine? Is there a big difference if you want to accelerate out of a construction site of 80 kmh? If in doubt I would just switch down. Does the 75hp engine consume more petrol at 120 – 130? How do I notice with the speed of the engine? the advantages of the 75hp engine? Does it speed up faster and has more reserves? I’m not a driver who likes to turn high, I prefer to swim quietly with. You can’t really give full throttle in professional traffic anyway. I would be grateful for your experience and know. I’m still quite undecided at the moment if it’s wrong to save on the engine or if the 60hp engine is not even the better choice (noise, consumption, etc.).

  • Sports exhaust on 50cc scooter legal?

    Hello, I bought a used scooter the other day. Got the papers for 45km/h. The previous owner has screwed a Technigas Q-Tre exhaust. The exhaust has also engraved an e-number. The scooter runs so c.a. 48-50km/h on the straight line according to gps app. Can it be that the exhaust is because it runs faster and is allowed to drive at all with a non-original exhaust? What possibilities would I have to throttle the scooter by 5km/h if all of them were originally There are thrushes in it (according to the previous owner nothing was done)? Don’t want to get any problems with the police. Thanks for the answers! Lg

  • too little compression

    Hi, can you give me a tip? My Speedfight 3 AC (20k km, Bj 09) does quite a bit of trouble. Jumps very well and stand gas runs well. When I give gas it kicks in at 5000 revolutions and the speed drops again. So it does not pick up any gas. Stand gas continues to run well. Before that he drove at least a few minutes until the power broke in and at most 20 km/h were in it. Now he doesn’t drive at all. Compression is too low with 3-4 bar. Membrane and a new one Cylinder kit has already been installed. I suspect the problem with the engine – too little pressure is set up. Which components are still in question, Simmerrings and engine housing seal? Vario side no oil runs out. Lima side everything is so dirty that you can’t recognize it (have not yet a Polradabschreiber). I read you can hold a lighter in front of the Simmerrings and then kick it on? Do you have ideas what it can be? Thank you & Greetings

  • Sym scooter jet 4 50 ccm piston fixed

    Hello all 🙂 I’m new here and have a question. I have this said scooter and unfortunately the piston is fixed and thus the kick starter and the rear wheel is blocked. The whole is very annoying. Therefore the question is worth a repair at all and what would it cost if you have a small budget ???? I would be really grateful for many answers LG to all

  • Aprili Sr50 Ditech Community

    have a sr50 ditech bj 2000. now the fuckdrecks bulls stopped me and pulled him in on tuning suspicion. on the test bench he ran 60 kmh(nothing tuned or manipulated!!!) now have reported me because of driving without driving license,without insurance protection! have bought the thing 2000 and never changed anything!!! the German drecksstaat demanded of me that I should have noticed this and always have to take care of that he runs 45kmh(pronounced exaggerated, all e to renew three months of variomatics!!!) I told you that this scooter has only been trolled over a distance ring and if it is renewed you can no longer throttle without damaging the engine(laut aprilia)! that doesn’t matter to you before it doesn’t run 45 I don’t get my license anymore!!! but according to the police it is also not possible to drive a scooter(has now 15000 km on it). with a “normal” scooter nothing changes even after 50000km at the speed(according to d) it friendly officials)! but now I know at least that I can sit down with a B or M driver’s license tomorrow also on a 1300er hayabusa and I only get to drive without a driving license because I would be sure! horny or???? GRUSSELS ALL ROLLERHeIZER!!

  • Strong white exhaust smoke

    Hi guys, it’s about the problem of the “gammel operation”, as a Mercedes master calls it. It’s about Sprinter 906 311 with work platform construction, so the things with lifting arm and basket, where you stand inside to clean facades or to cut trees. These stages drive in the morning to the workstation and then run several hours a day in a slightly increased idle of about 900 min-1. From a mileage of about 60-80 tkm, these engines start to smoke, and less Idle, but after several hours of idle, if you then continue normally. And indeed, the smoke is so strong that people behind you can see nothing and think that the sprinter is burning. One has to bear in mind that one operating hour corresponds to about 30 km of drive, i.e. the sprinters have about 300 tkm on the tacho. The engine oil consumption is almost not measurable, very low between the oil changes annually, I take Aral 0W-40. My theory is now that the engine in the Idle running is “warm”, but the exhaust or DPF is rather “cold”. When Idle running a bit of oil or diesel always passes the valve shaft seals and piston rings and escapes unburned into the DPF and collects there. If you continue after a few hours Idle running, the DPF gets really warm after 1-2 km and burns this accumulated diesel. The result is very strong white smoke for about 2-3 minutes. In the photo you see an old Sprinter 903 in Idle running, like the Qualm a No comparison when driving after 1-2 km after long idle, you would not see the sprinter anymore, but unfortunately have no photo of it. An old MAN of us had these torments too, after changing the valve shaft seals the smoke was over. The Mercedes master says these engines are not made for the idle and thinks that this would do nothing. What do you think? I think the old seals are widened, hardened, there is a lot going on. Of course, the valve shafts can also go through. I wanted to start with the seals. VG, Andre

  • Control panel defective? Error with blower, heating, heater

    Hello together! With my Sprinter *) the following problems have arisen over time: – Heater has failed – the “normal” vehicle heating heats even after turning down still about 10 – 15 minutes further – recently the blower has only failed in the stages 1 and 2. I have now removed the control panel to see if there is possibly a purely mechanical fixation: of course nothing discovered. I wondered about the big board and a lot of threads here g elesen. After some pondering I think it is now possible that above all defects could all be related to a faulty control panel. Before I spend around 400 EUR for a new part, I would like to ask you if you are also most likely to tap on the control panel. Unfortunately, I am a bloody layman, as far as electrical equipment is concerned, therefore: is there a way to narrow down the causes of errors? Thanks already for thinking about it! *) 316 CDI, Bj. 2005 – HH9, HZ9

  • X-Class brake light torn off in washing system.

    Hello, first of all, I’m new to the forum and also mainly here to find other people who might have had the same problem. I was in the washing machine of my trust today to have the car washed for the first time in my care and not to wash by hand. Arrived there, I was told by an employee immediately which facility to drive to. When the washing process started, the brush went up to the light, past it and at the back door. the brush then broke off the light with a loud bang and a slight lifting of the vehicle (2 tons!!) . Although I said that the employee should press the emergency off , he washed it again and then let it dry , which then damaged the roof as well as the rear window more strongly . Maybe I should have asserted myself … At Mercedes then it was said that this was the first time . Since I can not quite imagine this , I hope to meet people here , the n similar has happened and may give me tips for damage control. I am happy about your answers.
