  • Reduction Gear Starter

    Greetings Motortalker, look for advice for my Buick Century 56′. And I did get the old starter out because it only clacked but didn’t score. First I just wanted to buy such a maintenance kit, but there are only some parts. So I bought such an After Market thing from WOSP. A so-called “Reduction Gear Starter” My old starter had 3 connections. 1 thick plus cable. 2 yellow cable, if I could track it correctly that goes to the ignition coil. b a plus signal. 3 black cable, as far as I know this cable goes over detours to the key. But now the new starter has only 2 connections. 1 plus, is clear. But then it stops… Supposedly the black one comes to the other connection and the yellow one should lay blind. But with this configuration nothing happens… The car does nothing, neither organs nor clackers… I also have the yellow one instead of the black one, but nothing happens there either. Gt. Vllt. knows who with these things

  • Small car for 15,000 VW or Mazda?

    Good evening, since my dear old Punto (10 years and 100k km) rusts away so slowly under my butt and is already a little incontinent, I would like to get a new car this year. I use the car to drive with it every day about 25km into the work. I have to drive both via one or other country road as well as through the city with poorly connected traffic lights and connected stop and go. In addition, I drive 1-2 times a year to my sister in the north about 800 km. What I, in my opinion, need is a car that has noticeably more power than my old Punto, i.e. more than 60hp. I live in Bavaria and here you drive up one or the other hill and if I don’t make a good start with the Fiat, it can happen that I torture myself with 30 km/h the damn mountain up… that should finally be the end ^^ Besides, it should be reliable and not older than 3 years. I once felt a little bit through the Internet and I came across the following two candidates:Mazda 3 1.6 More space than in the polo, better equipment, more comfortable for long distances?VW Polo 1.2 TSI DSG Better workmanship quality, automatic – especially for the annoying rides through the city more comfortable? Will you contact the dealers next week or the next week and test the two cars. What would you recommend? Maybe also a completely different model/brand? MFG Fritz

  • Medium class combo used: Ford Mondeo (Mk3 or 4) vs Volvo V70 (or XC70)?

    Dear automotive experts, I would like to buy a used mid-range combi for up to about 10,000 EUR. Two brands are left over from all research and are now available for choice:Ford Mondeo (Mk3 or Mk4)Volvo V70 or XC70 I know that it will be difficult, but I am not interested in so much personal preferences as rather tangible facts and arguments pro and contra the respective cars. I start with a few arguments and would like to ask you, on the one hand, your experiences ode r other vehicle to supplement:PRO MONDEO – a lot of equipment for money – plenty of space, large load volume – tend to be cheaper than Volvo – spare parts / repairs tend to be cheaper (third party parts etc.)PRO V70/XC70 – better breakdown statistics, is considered long-lasting (since about BJ 2006 still valid?) – looks more individual – my gut feeling is currently more towards especially XC70 … Thanks for your help!

  • Beginner car for approx. 2000 max. 250€

    Hello dear forum, I am a novice driver, I want to finally get a car and hope that you can help me. Here are the rough requirements that the car should meet: – petrol – BJ not necessarily before 2002 – mileage max. 120000km – 80-100hp – manual transmission – no fuel eater – durable and needless of repair – ESP should be available – should already offer storage space, does not necessarily have to be a station wagon, but I want to pack something as I said – design – manufacturer price: – in general I thought about 2000€ for the car, if it’s 100..200€ more is also ok. But 2500 is the abolute upper limit. What would be the case for models? So in general I have heard that the Mazda 323 should be quite in order. I also find the Honda Jazz interesting, especially since the folded (half) back bench then also forms an area with the trunk. In addition, the model should probably also be I have already entered my requirements several times in various search masks. Often there were offers for French cars (especially Renault and Peugeot). Somehow it is in my mind that they have to be enjoyed with caution. Is that true? If so, why? The models I noticed are Renault Megane and Peugeot 206 Gand Filou I find the Peugeot, for example. e from the equipment pretty good. Can you look at it? All right, I’ll put myself in your hands (; Greeting Edgemaen

  • Dealer sold by private, what to do?

    Have found a nice car, which the seller allegedly bought recently, but only driven a few days by a short registration plate and now wants to sell again. But I like the car. What exactly does the used car guarantee contain? What happens now, then, if something happens? For example, the engine is over in half a year? If I can prove afterwards that he does this professionally? Because now have Googled his phone number and two older e ads found. But if the contract is sold by private, can that still be successful? I know, actually not serious, and you should not support such a thing, but I just like the car too well.

  • Commuter vehicle searched.

    Hello, as the thread title already says, I am looking for a commuter car. Currently I drive a Golf 4 1.9 TDI 77kw with a proud 266 TKm on the speedo. I am looking for a car in golf size, gladly also bigger. I drive about 30000 km per year. I think that a diesel car offers itself. I do not attach special importance to the equipment, but it should be the usual today’s standards available (air conditioning, seat heating, decent radio with the possibility to connect a USB stick, Navi I did not want to spend more than 15000 €. I am 1.86m tall and not the easiest. The planned useful life is about 7 years. What can you recommend me for cars that are reliable and not too expensive in maintenance? First of all thanks for reading this long text and if there are questions, simply ask me to answer them as soon as possible. Greeting shivasun_77

  • Donor car paralyzed when bridged

    Hi, I wanted to give my second car a starter today because it weakens a bit. So plus connected to plus and minus to mass. I wanted to leave the donor car on and nothing happened. The starter didn’t even try. Just a crack, like with a defective battery. Everything stuck off again and it still didn’t work. Only after a few minutes the donor car jumped again. Now it only shows the symbol for the immobilizer and doesn’t start at all. Cars dead. Do you have a tip on what the other car might have? In normal weather it still starts, even if the voltage drops to 10,5V when starting (from 12,1V).

  • sporty car sought

    Hey guys, I’m going to be 18 in a few weeks and need a car. Because of certain circumstances I have a Mercedes ML 270 CDI with 170tkm (about 700€ worth). I really want to sell this one. A car so big, even with automatic, is nothing for me. So now to my problem. With the budget of about 700€ you can’t find the “yellow of the egg”, with the following conditions: – at least 170 hp – ~ 100-150tkm – suitable for everyday use – sporty driving: good acceleration; hard , appealing chassis; … (you know) – can be a coupe, limo, but also a highly bred small car (à la gti, st, …) – if possible a diesel (so I’m spared the fuel costs) I can really imagine a lot, but no matter which car I choose, I’m just very skeptical. – Golf gtd – audio a4? – opel Astra? – tt – an Alfa villeicht? – older 5 Series BWM / 3 Series BMW A few suggestions, with reason, villeicht still a few corner data etc. would be me s LG Markus PS.: Yes, I’m a beginner. Yes, I overestimate myself. But believe me, I’ve been driving a car for a very long time (e.g. Porsche 911 GT3. 460hp. without PSM, ESP,…) I’ll be able to handle 200hp as well …. So please don’t preach morality or anything else )
