  • Dodge Caliber, first experiences/questions

    Hello, I have my Cali now since Thursday, and I’m just thrilled!!! What’s annoying though: I can’t park anywhere anymore just like that!!!! I should become a salesman, so many questions and enthusiastic people at the sight of Cali. Already very horny!!! But I also have a few questions: Through the premium package with maintenance and rep. I only need to take care of the oil refill. There is now my question, motor oil 5W 20 take from where??? at a reasonable price!! is not available j tank side limit lights, in the turn signals yellow 2-fade pears are installed (think 21/5 W ) glass sockets are switched off. – how do I get them on?? or – are there silver / chrome flasher bulbs with glass socket?? ( like silvervision ) Gruss Sven

  • Connecting phantom power – blue cable – Audi A3 8L

    Hello guys, about 2 months ago I bought the Sony MEX-N4100BT, but the radio reception is not exactly good. Although many channels get in, but these are very noisy. Now I plan to buy a phantom feed. And this is the following:http://www.ebay.de/itm/251402134913?… Where exactly do I connect the blue cable of the phantom feed? Do I have to cut the blue/white radio-side cable from the Iso plug and then connect the 3 cables with each other by wavoklemme? So the k would I be happy about some answers. Vehicle data: Audi A3 8L 1.6 – Facelift – BJ 2000 – MJ 2001

  • Searched for follow-up

    Hi, have a well-known problem: After changing from the built-in CAN radio, my radio immediately presents itself with loss of ignition plus. E.g. in front of railway barriers a problem: When the engine is switched off, but also when restarting the radio sets a restart. So I am looking for a follow-up circuit. One that gives the radio the turn-on plus again from the duration plus, as long as the ignition plus is on. If ignition plus is off, the radio should still be supplied about 20-30 seconds, then then nic There are a lot of funny circuits, but does someone have one at hand, which also works under the disgusting board network conditions for electronicians? Mostly one from eBay or from China – building yourself is often not worthwhile at the prices. (Alternatively, an analog or with Atmel controller, I would have it all there.)

  • Difference front motor 80X vs. RS

    Moin, can anyone tell me exactly how the front motor differs between 80X and RS Coupé? It is mWn the same engine that simply does more in the RS with a boost? Does this only apply to the PS or also the torque? Have there somehow no really consistent data to find.

  • Paint damage from the workshop

    Hi together, got my car out of the workshop and the next morning at the driver’s door found the attached paint damage (above the door handle). Of course I called right away and they said that the “master has to look at it” …. Sure, they want to talk out, so I want to be prepared so that they don’t feed me any false statements. Please for assessment, the bigger one is about 3mm. And what is best to do. It’s a 3 month old. I see the new car and the place every time when I get in. Thank you, Markus

  • Paint damaged by plate holder

    Hello, I bought a used Skoda and found today that the mounted license plate holders “vibrated” into the paint. The vehicle was 120000km down but also always at Skoda in the maintenance…. wouldn’t they have had to see that long ago? Bzw. can I have it fixed by the car dealership? Because they had the holder mounted that way at the time. Or is that bullshit now?

  • Glue foam (party foam?) on the car

    Hello, I have a big problem, some idiots sprayed my convertible with glue foam today. Pulls from the headlights to the tailgate. Unfortunately, I didn’t see it until I got out of the house and the shit was already dried up. I tried to “dip” it but unfortunately it doesn’t work out… What possibilities would I have.

  • Signs Speed limit

    I noticed that in recent years the signs for speed limits no longer have a “km unit”. In the case of older signs it was even glued over, so that only the number is left. Why? Does one of you know that? I had already asked 2 acquaintances from the police trade about it, they didn’t know it either. Is there possibly a specialist here? I’m guessing on some bureaucratic small business! ch not clear and therefore legally countervailable or anything … ???

  • Where are most moose going???

    Hello!Would I be interested in where most elks are drifting around.Living in the Spreewald (80 km under Berlin)where unfortunately few elks can be seen driving around. Most 40 and older models.The large (xc,V 70 etc) can hardly be found at all. The question would be interesting also why in the new federal states relatively few Volvos are driving around.(In my view) We would say we stay in Germany with this question 🙂

  • All Premium or what?

    Hello together, for two years I have been following this forum and have already driven various Volvo models. The topic “is volvo a premium brand” with various variations we had here several times. Actually was always tenor – yes, Volvo is a premium brand and is in good company with the 3 famous comparison brands from D. Therefore it could be a bit more expensive. Recently there were various Freds, in which sounded out, premium – in the price yes, but the Rest ? I am thinking of the comparisons with the Mondeo, Volvo as a company car and various fault reports. Therefore my question to you: what about the premium demand in the end of summer 2004 ?
