  • Front-lamp bulb change

    Hello everyone out there! Wanted to treat my Fox to some new H4 lamps for the dark season. Thought about the Philips Night Guide. Does anyone have any experience with them? Is the installation possible without any problems, or does something have to be removed? Do I pass the battery without expanding it? Since I am not very skilled, I wanted to ask you about the specs before. I would be very grateful for well-founded tips and reviews 🙂 Thanks already in advance FunnyFox

  • Belt drive C20XE

    Belt drive C20XE + KAT Question Aloha! Got in the garage nen C20XE, z Zt. still without LiMa and therefore also without belts. LiMa would have to come now the days by mail, only the question of the belt remains, because I still have to get it. Were there different variants? My knowledge there are nn V-belt and a V-belt, which do I need? Do I see this on the belt disc? Sorry, have still net so with engines, but am really learningable Does anyone possibly have accurate photos of the belt drive? And an indication of which belts I need?! Servo pump does not have to be driven with, because I have an electric servo. So actually only the LiMa that needs some movement, but hope you can bring me some enlightenment thx -fate- edit times still another general question: if I need a cat from a different car, which has a bore for a Lambda probe, which I need but net, then I can just do it with a screw, but I would like to do it again.

  • Incredible but true, Fazer 1000

    I finally had time to pick up my new machine yesterday, it all worked smoothly, I drive the first 30 km (of course very slow) and notice something clapping in front. I hold on to control everything apparently, no loose part nothing. So continue driving. After 80 km the flap will be more and more, stop again… still nothing found, only the chain is arduously loose. Well off home, “Master should check the machine again”, I thought. On the way home I notice the brakes in front become soft!!? “After about 100 km the brakes become soft?”, I asked myself the question, did I have to make a mistake with the decision? Maybe I should have bought a KAWA or Honda after all? While I constantly questioned my decision in the head, the flapping became louder. With about 30-40 km per hour I finally got to sleep. Motorcycle in the yard, no, no, no, I can not believe that! I had to get rid of the wheel at the front with a screw, I had to get rid of the front wheel.

  • SIDI Motors + Biesel

    Hi, after the 1.4 TFSI from VW wins almost every test in connection with CO2 and consumption, has a torque like a turbodiesel and almost its consumption, I would be interested as a buyer interested in an Insignia whether jemdand knows when the new engine generation to be presented at the Astra this year also have to be bought at the Insignia: Bsp. (SIDI = Downsizing + Direct Injection): 1.4 l SIDI with 130 or 170 hp 1.6 l SIDI with 190 or 220 hp 2.0 l SIDI OPC 250 hp 2.0 l SIDI OPC TCR 300 hp. In addition, I am interested in how the current status of the “Biesel” at Opel is (Biesel = mixture of petroler + diesel)? At Opel it is called HCCI system = homogeneous compression ignition, is a petrol engine, in itself the mixture in the combustion chamber by compression without ignition sparks. So Mercedes also has something similar in the Köcher. Momentan I know that the engine still needs to be controlled by a Vhubtra four-cylinder.

  • R230 SL500 steering

    Hello everyone, can need a few tips from you and that is the following, my Sl 500 Bj. 2001 R230 has a problem with the steering, steering wheel is crooked when driving “grade off” and the vehicle pulls very strongly to the right. Can’t remember that I drove in big potholes. The vehicle is hot measured and the track was stopped. But unfortunately no improvement and workshop master said; I should be to Mercedes, ABC suspension could be. With the ABC I only have the “normal” problems, sinks after some time, but that doesn’t bother me. I’m just afraid the Mercedes says all valve units ect have to be new. All 3 pressure stores are new 2 years ago and Pentosin CHF 11S is refreshed every year at the beginning of the season with 4 liters. Thank you in advance. MfG, S.R.

  • VW T-Roc 1.5 TSI vs Toyota C-HR 2.0 Hybrid

    Another topic of mine. I’m thinking a lot about one of them. I’m thinking about the VW T-Roc, because of the trunk. My only fear is the engine. I had bad experiences with a VW engine in the past and wanted to know if the T-ROC is reliable. TÜV Report shows it this way, but I wanted to get some opinions. What do you think? I plan to have the car 5-7 years. The driving profile is about 10,000 KM per year, with usually small distances.

  • Lupo 3L doesn’t start anymore. Troubleshooting

    Hello we have a problem with our Lupo 3L Bj.2002. He does not jump any more. We were shopping and when we wanted to go home he has to gelled but did not come to cover up after 10. After that he ran for a time again quite normal. Then when my mother drove, he just went out after 1km during the ride and did not jump any more. Have read out error memory but it was nothing in it. He also makes quite funny noises when letting loose the deed. Have once solved a screw on the tandem pump (was only minimal diesel in it), where you can measure it with a pressure tester or so and when igniting nothing came out, but what should happen in our opinion. It looks as if the tandem pump is over but how can you go quite safely there? Could it also lie to the relay or can someone help me find the error. Selection device is available. Must get the Lupo back to run. / / A month ago the fuel pump was changed, double temper/citation and a new one.

  • Driver’s door completely dead

    There is a problem with the driver’s door. It does not work at the door. – No sound from the speaker. – Window lifter doesn’t even click-klick. – Central locking is not possible. Passenger door and trunk close perfectly via the passenger door. Driver door has no influence on the rest, does not work together with the other door. My questions: What can I measure or test? have tried to measure the voltage on the speaker. Nothing! What voltage has to be there? Have removed the plug from the (probably) the engine and there are always around the 10V with two thicker wires, even when the ignition is switched off. I activate the window lifter switch when the ignition is switched on. The voltage changes to about 7V. With the right window only click-klick. There is enough to read about that in the forum.

  • Questions about Fox 1.2, 54hp…

    Hello, the Fox 1.2 is a three-cylinder… is it as long-lasting as a four-cylinder? Does the steering chain? How often does the Fox have to be for maintenance and how expensive is it? How high is the speed at 100km/h and 120km/h? And what is the realistic consumption then, at the speeds in long-distance operation (about 50km at a time).? Since I am looking for a cheap small car, which should run and keep many kilometers, the Fox has come into the race. Unfortunately I do not know any Fox – owner, which one could ask personally.
