  • Load capacity 5W30

    Hi, drive an Astra K 1.4T petrol engine and got the new Dexos 1 Gen 2 in the inspection today. Instead of 0W40 just now 5W30. What can this oil withstand? My driving profile is very quiet. Drive my car ALWAYS 20km warm before I turn over 3000 rpm and drive always nice cold. On the highway however, there are often speed orgies and like to drive Vmax (220km/h approx. 4100U/min in 6th gear). The 0W40 is suitable for higher temperatures and wanted to know now whether I despite 5W30 lead can continue on foot? Greetings

  • Diagnosis: Drum brake vs. wheel bearing

    Hello! How do I recognize with a rear axle with drum brake whether noises come from a defective wheel bearing or the braking system? More specifically: I just have a vehicle here that has to go to HU shortly. I noticed that the rear wheels don’t turn as easily as I know it from other cars. If you step on the brake a few times, it gets a bit better. It’s not a game and there are no noises that point to a defective wheel bearing. Allerd I don’t know if the noise comes from the drum brake or the wheel bearing is defective. It’s the same in both the rear left and the right. I uploaded a video where you can hear the noises. I would be very grateful if you could write me your assessment. How can I make another diagnosis? Does the TÜV care if otherwise the brake values are correct? increased rolling resistance as a defect? What else would be considered serious defects? Thank you in advance!

  • Used car advice, SUV, please for help

    Dear motor talk community, I have to get an off-road car in front of me soon, but could also after several hours in forums and mobile.de etc. … to no conclusion come which it should be now and so I ask you for help. I look for a off-road car which: – optically something makes – not necessarily all-wheeled – storage room should be available (skiers etc) but also not overly big necessary – can be relaxed even on longer distances (I am truncated -PS number should not be excessive (beyond 200) Price I could get a maximum of 9000 for a used application, I was looking directly at the older Nissan Quashqai but I still hope for a few possible alternatives, thank you already for your help

  • HUK24 Changer Tip

    Hello, here’s a tip for people who want to switch to the HUK24: Don’t close directly via the HUK24, but via the Postbank:Postbank Advantage: 1. You support the distressing banks (unfortunately, the insurance contribution is not deductible as a donation) and allow them to continue to pay premiums and severance payments in millions. 2. You get a 25 Euro Amazon voucher and a 25 Euro Shell fuel card. To my knowledge, you don’t get that if you go to huk24.de PS: This is not an advertisement for the HUK24. Everyone has to see for themselves which insurance is the right one for him. This is just a tip for people who have already made this decision! PS1: I am neither HUK24 nor Postbank employee!

  • Car battery cannot be charged….

    Hello dear motor-talker.. would have a question to you. I have a 45 Ah battery in my polo. The battery is now three years old. And lately she is a little tired when starting. So I decided to charge the battery with my regulated charger. The charger shows me that the battery is 65 percent charged. If I start the charging process then it is within 10 minutes at 100 percent and the charge is stopped. But then if I try to start she is as tired as before loading me happy about help… Lg Tom

  • Search cat of prey for approx. 5000 EUR

    Hello, I would like to fulfill a youth dream and get myself a Jaguar as second or third vehicle. The car should only be registered over the summer and will then only be moved once in a while. I guess up to 5000km a year. It should not become an S type because this does not really tell me. I thought of an X type or XJ. The car should be well equipped, in a good condition and of course driving ready. TÜV would be nice. e 5000 EUR, can also be 6000 EUR if the condition is good. I would not like to pay 6000 and then have to put in 1000 EUR again because a few things are defective. So then rather one for 4000 – 5000 EUR where I have to do a little bit. Do you think my project can be implemented like this? How are the Jaguars from this shelf like this? What do you have to pay special attention to? If you want to find out a few examples this is gladly seen. I come from room D üsseldorf and I am also happy to drive 100 – 150km.

  • Mice / rodent in the car

    Moin together, the cold season begins and many animals prepare themselves for the winter by looking for cozy quarters. A specimen obviously has a very exquisite taste for wintering possibilities and has settled in my garage, or in the Buick. Fußel of insulation material and small elongated quilts in the interior and on the car speak volumes. Before the cattle eats the cushions or even cables broken, I have to have the possitive animal. I don’t know whether this is a mouse, garden or seven-sleeping. I could set up a trap in the interior, but that could also attract animals that would not otherwise have come into the car. I had already tried penetrant perfume in the garage, that didn’t help. Does anyone have a good tip? Greeting Achim
