  • Alfa Mito 155 hp surrending sound, which is the

    Hello people, have bought me a Mito Tjet 155 PS Bj 2009 from a car dealership everything really tip-top, even new tires with it, 8 times tyres also got new TÜV. Vehicle is first hand with original 60,000 km. I also got a used car GARANTIE extra to it. My wife already drives a Mito with 95 HP. Where I looked at the car, I didn’t think anything about it, since I never had a car with turbocharger, I could not know if this is normal, since is t a whirring noise in the engine compartment, could that be the turbocharger? Have only had a vehicle with turbocharger before, so I could not get a picture on site whether this is normal or not? Engine sounds great, clutch also, it goes well, would say full power he definitely has, only this buzzing makes me worry about something, can it be the turbo? Timing belts were made in 2015, oil change in June. Auto dealership means it’s all ok, since I don’t have such a sound nne I want to be sure, seller said if what should be I should report. I remember the sound of a defective light engine, or like a remote controlled toy car. I could record it so that you have an idea. Can you have a turbocharger tested in the built-in state? What do you think about what noise it is. Thank you

  • Indicator lamps in AI

    Hello Alfisti, unfortunately I am not so familiar with the technology of your very beautiful cars, therefore the following question: with the Giulietta (2.0 l diesel) of my daughter, when the ignition is switched on in AI, all the tell-tale lights light up and extinguish shortly afterwards, except for engine control and oil (see appendix). The two then go out again only after starting the engine. This is not supposed to have been the case originally, all the tell-tale lights would have died before starting. I’d like to help her, but I can’t judge this with the Alfa. For a feedback already thank you in advance and greeting Stefan

  • Alfa Romeo 159 reliable?!

    Hey guys, I’m thinking about getting an Alfa Romeo 159 because I like it visually and, depending on the motorization, makes a sporty impression. Since I don’t want to go to the workshop all the time, it would be great if the thing were also reasonably confident. What about it? Does someone have experiences would be great if they could share them, and of course if the assessment with the sportiness is true.

  • Organisational information

    Hello, now I’m already active for some time (just 1 year) in this forum and there were always hints from you in the beginning that I might one day get into a problem with my nickname… Well, ‘SteveT6’ just outed me as a driver of a T6, in my case S80T6. This is also well known… I thought back then and also until recently that I would drive the T6 even longer and therefore the Nick will not become obsolete so fast… But it has become about 3 weeks ago I had a workshopermin and as a replacement car there was an S60R…. Driving the car gave me the urgent desire to make a change after 5 years S80 times. So I hit and got the car yesterday: S60 R, MJ 2004, 19,000km VOLVO directional vehicle in absolutely impeccable condition titaniumgrey metallic, Atacama leather cognac 6-speed Navi Xenon Everything else has the R anyway series. I have to say: a great car!!! The quality of the car tsanmutung no longer corresponds to that of the S80 from the year 2000. I still don’t want to make the S80 bad. He was my best car so far, which has reliably accompanied me over 5 years… Now I have to live with the fate of having an ‘unsuitable’ nickname. In any case I remain true to the forum and look forward to the further interesting conversation with you all….

  • XC 90 – Illumination and heating

    Moin! Before I kill anyone there tomorrow on the occasion of my one-month workshop visit interval, someone might kindly explain the following circumstances to me: Away lighting The dark season begins and I think I remember that these lights went on automatically at the bottom of the outside mirror last winter when leaving the car and locked them out again. Unfortunately, TFM does not know any advice about this at all. How is that with you? Heating/climate With the dunk The cool season also begins, of course, and I wonder if the fact that the two middle emitters emit unequal amounts of air at different temperatures at the same set rotary regulators, is based on highly scientific, Volvo-specific warming parameters, or that the thing is just scrap, like so much about my car? In the summer, I didn’t notice it, but I didn’t come to it as often as I did in various spare weights. n was on the road… Maybe someone has an idea? The fact that the cruise cruise is simply gruesome during the ride is also to be taken from other contributions we should not actually be directly connected with the approaching winter… Sometime soon I drive the Sch….-karre into the sea… Gruss, Björn …for relevant information anyway (still) grateful!

  • Second-hand financing: 3.33%, now 4.9%?

    Hello guys, I fell in love with a used S80 with the friendly around the corner. He stood with a sticker on their parking lot, which promised a financing with 3.33% p.a.. I signed the purchase contract about half a week later. Today I wanted to pick him up and sign the discussed financing contract. But look here: now 4,9% p.a. on the contract!

  • V 70 Own forum ??

    Hello guys ! What I’ve been pretty much on the cookie lately is that I have to deal with quite a lot of models in this forum, V 70, XC 70, V 60, S80 and XC 90 !! As the owner of a V 70 I have to look for a long time now until I get a topic relevant to me. I have the impression that XC 90 would need a forum of my own, but I don’t really know exactly how to send it to the moderators. m theme off, S 40 and V 50 finally have their own forum ! Best regards, keep racing !!

  • Search car, who has market overview

    Hello everybody, I have had a rather monogamous relationship with Audi for 30 years now, but I could imagine submitting the divorce. However, I also have quite specific requirements that I want to list. Who knows a suitable car? May also be needed. Price up to 40k. – ACC with control range 0 to 150 or more from Mercedes or VAG (most important requirement!) – thus inevitably automatic, but not the marode 7G drying DSG from VAG. – petrol or hybrid (bin Kurzstre truck driver, but must also be capable of long-distance driving) – turbo engine, torque from 240 Nm – front or all-wheel (no rear drive) – trailer coupling – steering column adjustable – parking steering assistant – Xenon or LED – Navi with at least 6.5 inch and DAB+ – comfort fabric seats (no parts, no sports seats) – both front seats height adjustable – normal suspension (no sports suspension) – length max. 4.70 m. better less – height min. 1.40 m (wide and high …) – rear seats foldable cars, in which one of these points is injured I find several, but one in which everything fits I find only one, the Skoda Octavia 3 Ambition 1.8 DSG 4×4 Who else has a suggestion? Thank you! ACC_Fan

  • First car searched up to 1500 euros

    Hello, as shown in the title I am looking for a first car and that with a maximum budget of 1500 euros, unfortunately more is not in it. Due to the limited budget I now have no concrete ideas about brand, etc., but such a rough idea: I need a car in which I can drive comfortably, I am big and wide (1,96m/125kg), that is a “normal small car” falls away. What definitely can not be done are Corsa B, Kia Picanto, Citroen C1, which I am already vo A few space, especially in the legroom, partly with the head on the ceiling, pedals too closely together (which I can sometimes kick with one foot all at the same time), etc. Nevertheless, the maintenance should remain as low as possible, i.e. not only low consumption, but also best not a “typical” beginner car because of the insurance contributions. Which would also be helpful is a good spare parts supply and that you can screw well. I have to go there. d although no experience is but not untalented by craftsmanship and I think that can partly save costs, only there are cars with which it is easier to do something yourself than with others and the latter would therefore perhaps not be ideal.In summary: First car for big guy up to 1500 euros, on which can be screwed well and if possible with climate. I would like to thank you for any helpful answer. MfG

  • Tempomat vs Limiter

    Hello to each other, does it technically make a difference for the car whether the cruise control is set to 130 and no gas is given or the limiter is given to 130 or more or less full throttle? Apart from the fatigue of the spring at the accelerator pedal 🙂 I have to re-activate the cruise control after every tap of the brake pedal, the limiter is not. It’s about a quite new vehicle, < 1 year, but without distance control, so I find the limit setting more comfortable Sunday still V Olker
