  • Impreza WRX – after timing belt change noises

    Hello dear Impreza friends, after changing the timing belt incl. water pump, tensioning roller and pulleys a sound has remained that one could call whimpering and can be heard quite well. Troubleshooting remained unsuccessful regarding a more precise limitation of the error. Housing removed –> has no grinding traces and noise remained. Attachments by removing the V-belts remained docked –> noise. Engine runs round and without slipping gear fits on the forehead wheels. Riemens is not too high noise should actually come from the front wheel although it can be heard throughout the engine compartment. Overall, an replacement turbocharger came in and the cylinder head seal was changed incl. tarpaulining of the heads and the housing and renewal of the clutch. Has someone experience with it or an idea what is the cause. Greeting and many thanks in advance. Wolfdieter

  • Subaru Impreza WRX STI GC8 – Import, consumption and more

    Hello! I have been interested in importing a Subaru Impreza until 1999 (model GC8 WRX STI with 280 hp) from England for quite some time. First of all to the organizational, I have heard that you have to register a transfer license plate and thus can drive 1 month, is this correct? What costs do I have to reckon with roughly estimated overall, i.e. ferry, registration in Germany (probably full acceptance at TÜV?), conversion of the headlights etc… Is it true that the exhaust certificate EU-Wei t is valid? Should not be done when the box was in England before… And a very important chapter, how about the fuel consumption in everyday life? Sure that if you step on it (“turbo runs, turbo soaks” he gets a lot of permission (inquired at the edge: how much about with sporty driving), but how does it look, for example, in a third mix or also on long-distance driving at straight speed? Are 8-9 l/100 km feasible or completely utopian? Thank you!

  • Water/dew on the rear window – no rear view

    Hello, I drive a BMW 3 Series E90 Built. 2005 Lim. without rear windscreen wiper. In the morning a thin film of water is always formed on the rear window and the view to the rear is virtually no longer there anymore. The same is true even if it rains. The water simply does not drain, no matter at what speed. I have already lubricated/polished car wax on the disc. Thus, something is blowing off, not everything and after 1-2 rain showers the wax was almost gone again. Can someone please give me a Ra t to give? Greetings Ben

  • We need big diesel smoke!

    Good day! Before everyone gets into the air on the basis of the title – don’t worry, we’re not doing this for fun. We just have a documentary project in which the development of the diesel is about the last 25 years, with focus on the environment. For the filming a PT cruiser was made available to us – a 2003 diesel without DPF. Unfortunately, for our purposes the smoke cloud is not enough, we need maximum everything – so it has to be a bit oversized by the topic. it would be, if the vehicle already emits smoke in idle mode or at least produces thick black smoke clouds while gasing. We have tried to clog air filters or chip tuning, but not enough. Do you know any other means? The durability of the vehicle is only secondary. As I said, it is only about having the smoke temporarily and being overly strong. Hope you can help us. LG Robert

  • Source research

    Hi, as a non-Volvniac, I am currently thinking about the acquisition of a diesel-sweden (probably 2nd hand). However, since I had medium problems with the machines of another manufacturer, I am interested in the origin of the diesel-machines in the Volvos. Motors from VW and Renault have probably already been installed.

  • Heat pump

    Hello together, the IV80 is ordered. The friendly one said that with my low driving performance (6-7 tkm/year) I could refrain from a heat pump. Now I am unsure, because in various forums (grade at temperatures by 0 degrees) often the pre-climate is reported to be able to achieve a greater range. Do you have experiences how much such a heat pump makes up at KW and km or what I have to fear without a heat pump during the cold season? Thank you and greetings
