  • Mini Cooper D, 1st Service (20.000)… normal that so much to do?

    Hello to each other! Since the end of October 2008 I call a Mini Cooper D my own. I drive already for professional reasons a lot, so it was now on last Tuesday… the first service (20.000 km). Service was done quickly… but then came a call. My Mini Cooper D would have the typical Mini Cooper D disease (?): He loses oil on the gearbox. Aha. Ok, goes on warranty, so let me make it. Today I called when I would like my darling wi The gearbox had to be taken out, it was found that too much fat was lost/was lost in the clutch (?). You have already made a request to BMW because of the warranty. As soon as the OK is there, it is also done immediately. Aha. Well, if it is possible to guarantee it. So we call again tomorrow. Says, is this normal???? I only have my Mini Cooper D since the end of October 2008! Ok, I drive a lot… that immediately what must be done on the gearbox and on the clutch???? Is that normal???

  • Bastuck pot for Mini Cooper R56

    Hello, From Bastuck there is recently an ESD for the Mini Cooper R56. I was thinking of mounting the ESD with the single tailpipe. What are your experiences with Bastuck (accuracy of fit, sound, corrosion)? Thank you in advance for your answers, warm greetings from Baden bei Wien! Heribert

  • Your experience with the brand Kia!?

    Hello guys, please tell me about your experience with the car brand Kia. I might want to increase with the new Kia pro ceed and would like to have a little feedback from this brand before. The equipment in relation to the price is ok(compared to other brands, which can often offer considerably less). What about reliability and workmanship? Is there possibly a special weakness of the brand or similar!??? I am grateful for every advice/tip!

  • Diagnostic technology for all trucks?

    Hello, is there actually in the truck area a diagnostic system with which you can cover (almost) all vehicles? I have already searched the web myself, but found nothing. I car area there is for example Bosch Esi[tronic], a really horny system. If there was something for trucks, that would free me. My boss certainly too.

  • Jaguar at the small car price?

    Hello to everyone, I would like to buy my own car soon. I discovered that Jaguar is relatively friendly when I look at it. As the purchase is known to be the least problem, this does not surprise me very much. Somewhere I am interested, however, if I can already afford a Jaguar with my budget. I want to save 4000€ for the purchase, so that I have about 500€/month for the maintenance in the month. Since I am already out of the probation period, for example w. already over 21, the insurance no longer beats so endlessly to book. Thank you for all constructive(!) answers lG SpFahrer

  • Accident after 5 months, impairment?

    Hello, yesterday it happened: a young man rushes at the red light in the back of our Logan MPV. Both rear doors, bumper demolished and the rear cross frame squeezed. In addition, the (driver) airbag control lamp always lights up. On Monday it goes to the workshop. The car is only 5 months old and has only 2900 KM on the clock! Will the opposing insurance refund me an impairment? How high can it be? i. Greeting Holzer

  • Advantage by petrol with >= 100 octane in heat?

    Hello, let’s assume from the following example: A standard petrol engine with knock control is designed for 98 octan petrol (= the manufacturer says that only 98 octan is the rated power). If you drive this engine with 100 octan or higher you have no increase in power compared to 98 octan, because the engine control is designed only for 98 octan. But: A change of 8°C in the intake air temperature has a similar effect as the change in the octane number. At 33°C intake air temperature you drive the engine with 98 octane. It achieves its nominal power, the ignition angle is not corrected. If you drive it at 33°C intake air temperature with 97 octane, the ignition angle would be corrected, so you would have power loss. But at 25°C intake air temperature you could drive it with 97 octane without power loss and without ignition angle correction. That would mean in reverse conclusion that from a certain intake air temperature one can Gasoline with 100 octane or higher could have meaning. Although no increase in performance, but at least the maintenance of the rated power. Am I correct? And if so, is there a standard that says that engines have to reach their rated power up to an external temperature of XX°C? (with the petrol required by the manufacturer) Or can any manufacturer act at its own discretion?
