  • Delle through ball in a game street

    The children in the Spielstraße from my front door used the private parking directly in front of our house as a football pitch, but unfortunately my car was still standing on one of the places. Now it has a dent. But the children knew fortunately exactly who exactly this hit landed. Parents are informed, get the damage form from the insurance today. My workshop says, bulging is not, because the bump is exactly in the edge. So must be spatted and painted, thus ca. . 700€. I have a claim to an expert at the amount of the damage, because I also fear a reduction in value due to the spatling and yet large-scale repainting. The insurance man told me that the verse. the expert will not pay the less than 1000€. Can the impairment be determined in any other way, e.g. at the amount of damage?

  • Enhancement does not cover estimates

    My father’s parked car was damaged, the guilt question is clear. The left front fender, the bumper and the left outside mirror were damaged. Since the car has 16 years on the hump, I only wanted to replace the outside mirror and leave the rest as it is now. I drove to a workshop and had a cost estimate made. Damage about 960 euros incl. fairy tale tax. The insurance is charged. I also agreed to a visit for the sake of peace. The expert determined a damage amount of 1130 euros incl. VAT, but also only one value of the vehicle of 850 euros. As a residual value he stated 150 euros. Thus, a damage of 700 euros on a total damage basis. I was satisfied with this and wanted from the insurance now the 700 euros, the cost of the estimate in the amount of 10% of the repair costs, i.e. 96 euros, and a lump sum of 20 euros. Now the insurance refuses to pay the estimate because they had their own expert. Is that so right? I only fulfilled my obligation to reduce damage. I could have ordered a separate expert at once… What do you think about it? Many greetings Ralf

  • Folating window – question about durability

    Hello, from the very beginning I play with the idea to darken the windows from B-pillar. I know 3 possible systems. 1. Volvo grid inserts for side and rear window Advantage: Detachable in winter Disadvantage: The rear windows can no longer be opened, or only at low speed. 2. Solaplexus solution http://www.solarplexius.de/ same advantages and disadvantages as solution 1 3. In the specialized shop disadvantage: Can not be foiled in winter Advantage: The rear windows can be used and I can choose the tint intensity. But now the questions about the 3rd solution. Can one really open and close the rear windows without any restrictions, or is there a risk that the foil will remain hanging or even tearing? What costs do I have to calculate for a folation from the B pillar? Can anyone recommend me a dealer in the Aachen or Duisburg region?

  • I’ve got one on it but you can’t see anything

    The car is just rolled. Nothing can be seen at first sight except slight scratches/craters where the opponent’s license plate has peeled off. I have the data of the “other”. It is a company car. My question is now: Can I go to Audi or whatever with this not-seeing damage and check if something has broken inside? Do I not have to pay the costs myself for it first? Or only the insurance company has to pay the costs. ng the opponent and then let him look? Thank you and greeting

  • Parkrampler, my vehicle was slightly scratched by others, police informed what to consider

    Moin all, yesterday my girlfriend called me and said that a T5 from VW parked too close to my vehicle. He entered under an angle, so that a corner of his rear bumper had a distance of about 10cm (the picture of the distance was taken from the distance of about 5 meters). I asked you to go out and see if my vehicle was already touched while parking. But she looked at only one side, which did not indicate the vehicle position as first touched side. When I came home late in the evening from work, I took a look at the whole front bumper and see there next to the license plate was a abrasion of about 10-20cm. When I parked out, my girlfriend watched the equipment and saw that there was no distance between the vehicles, so you can go out that this was the culprit. But here you have to say that when I touched my vehicle (the only half of the T was the car). 5 VW’s , if not weighs 1/3) did not move/sweep. The abrasion is not wild, but it is there. You can probably polish idese away for the most part, but you can’t get it away 100%. That’s why I reported this case to the police. Now my real question is how to behave now. I haven’t yet managed to secure legal protection through my insurance. How does the police proceed now? Fanden Die first after this vehicle? You also have Photos taken where you can see the distance from the floor to the scratches. The other vehicle was a vehicle of a company, but according to the police it is registered to a private person. I approached the guy on his mailbox, which he called me today and rejected everything, although he also mentioned the model of my vehicle (did he probably notice something? ). He was really excited and didn’t even want to listen to me ( w ar a not a native, rather one from the eastern countries). So how is this actually, the police now drives to him and also measures the height of his bumper or looks for the Krazer on his rear bumper? How long do I have to wait until I get to know if it has turned out? Can one, after the police have taken the photos of the scratches on my bumper, try to polish away the scratches? These are taken and registered. Thanks ahead Viky

  • On the highway, what’s going on –> all broken –> pays VK?

    Hello, I had a big win last week. I drove over something at about 180 km/h on the highway and after initial assumption only on the front left is the rim and the tires broken, turned out now that all four tires, rims and shock absorbers are no longer to be used. I have a full insurance and now my question: Does a VK pay such damages. The estimate amounts to approx. 2000€ Greeting and thanks SL

  • Engine replacement Volvo V70

    Hello, we bought a new toy a few days ago; a V70 with engine damage. We also got a working engine. The new engine was once installed in an automatic. It’s not bad, the flywheel from the switch is sitting on the old engine. Can you change. On the occasion also crankshaft sealing ring, back bearing and clutch should be renewed. On the subject of coupling the pilot bearing came into play. And I have a question for that. I with this “knowledge” I measured the transmission shaft and measured the inner diameter of the pilot bearings of both motors. di old motor (switch) = 15 mm (the gearbox was installed on this) di new motor (automatic) = 21 mm da transmission shaft = 20.6 (diameter distortion possible by gearing) Even with the possible dimensional distortion by gearing, the transmission shaft can never be in the pilot bearing of the S I have taken more measurements and made a sketch to support this. This underscores the suspicion that the transmission shaft is not being guided. Where is my thought error? Is there something wrong with the old engine (but we bought it this way)? What should the pilot bearing do there? I do not see any reason to install a bearing there at the moment. What is the purpose of the pilot bearing if e is not supposed to be running the transmission shaft? To your answers I am really tense. With kind greeting kaninchen2

  • Oil changes and consequences

    Hello, as always, a praise to the community. I am always fond of silent readers and really appreciate the forum! Now to my observation: Yesterday it was time and the service interval demanded for new oil and oil filter. I immediately changed the exhaust from Kat because it was there. I have always changed the oil myself for 3 years and is not difficult. As oil I filled in from Addinol 10W40 Semisynth. When I then drove a few km after the oil change , I noticed that the exhaust or exhaust smells like someone was sweating. There were some stickers on the pot and I thought it was coming. When I was driving another 30km and parked backwards I only noticed when I first gasped and drove back a building cloud and still this (not body but material) sweat odour. That’s never done my car in the 4 years! Whether by chance or not when I wanted to look in the engine room for the oil I had the handle zack the oil stick in the hand, i.e. red handle broken off from the steel stick. Hmm. I did not do anything yesterday evening and will drive today again. Now the first will surely ask for the oil level, which was actually yesterday not very high, but enough exact statements can also not be made with broken rod also… Nu still the obligatory: Volvo 850, ’95, 10V, petrol, speedometer at 370tkm, should be 400 meanwhile The question is now, I ha be the oil trap never cleaned, only the flame screen once 2 years ago, can I cause the often depicted problem with the oil trap and the overpressure by changing oil? Thank you Robert
