  • Slow driver on the left track

    After the Drängler discussion found so much support, now the opposite. Yesterday I drove on a three-lane highway about 160 km/h. On the right lane, because no traffic. In front of me on the left lane I pick up another vehicle. On the right lane also trucks appear now. I reduce my speed and switch to the left lane (meaning continue free). Then I drove with due distance behind the left driver. He drove 120 km/h. I didn’t overtake the middle lane on the right, because I didn’t allow it. After about 5min I get noticed and then the left-hand driver changes to the middle lane and I can overtake. What would you have done? It was a clear violation of the right-hand drive. Is this a coercion in such a case? I’m really curious about your opinion. Oh yes and I don’t want anyone to feel provoked by this topic. Is just a general opinion. ße Selenum

  • Volvo seats – waterbeds

    Well, an attempt not to become too obvious OT…. About the (unfortunately decreasing) quality of the seats in our elks has already been written a lot. Unfortunately, the best seats do not help if you are lying on the wrong base at night (Machos: Shut up! ) In search of new mattresses I was suggested by some sellers water beds as optimum – possibly also because of the prices: about 2000 teuros for a single bed. Does someone have practical = own experiences in the forum? Bi IG Richard (threatened by the intervertebral disc incident…)

  • Underfloor rusted car still to save?

Throwing the car away How do you see the whole ? Have a hole at the front right and one at the front left Can you save it somehow for the Tüv without going to the carousel builder but do it yourself.

  • Rear wing / What is allowed? (beginners)

    Hey guys, I’d like to make my car smarter for the first time in my life – a rear wing should turn on it. What do you have to pay attention to? Does it have to be a certain size? I only know that it can’t be made of aluminium and that it should have ABE or a part of it. Since there is no rear wing for my car model (2019 Jaguar XE P250 SE), I’ve been looking for universal wings. So far I haven’t found one with an ABE or a part of it. Do I first drill the holes in the trunk and drive to the TÜV? What if the spoiler is rejected? I have never had to register anything and I really don’t know what to do. I am very grateful for any help.

  • Get rid of FIAT CROMA better?

    Hi! I once have a basic question. I have a Croma 1.9 TDI Multi – highest equipment – Built 06/2005 – automatic transmission with 45000 KM on it. 2 years ago the LIMA and the battery was to replace and recently the ABS sensor. Now the question arises whether I should not sell the car better. I heard here in the forum all kinds of weeps or horror stories of the Croma 194. And I don’t really want to do something like that … So I am to the dealer and wanted him against When the dealer wanted to pay me only 5000 Euro exchange value, I started laughing loudly. Purchase price 5 years ago: 31000 € – “A FIAT nobody wants” – dealer statement. In the private sale I get also only 9500…. To the money I drive it rather immediately until it falls apart. So – how are your experiences – how does the Croma hold itself with 100,000 KM or more? Older models than the 05 unfortunately do not exist, therefore it will be difficult with the Erfa But maybe with more KM on it. Should you rather get rid of it or still keep it? So far, the Wewechen have kept themselves in limits with my yes

  • O-ring for tank screw

    Hello guys! I have a kind of “laser screw” below my tank. Unfortunately, it no longer seals 100%, and it always cuts out a little fuel. Has it already loosened up a part of the paintwork. Who knows if there is an O-ring for this?

  • Engine damage?

    Hello… something terrible happened to me today… I was with my father during the midday break, and somehow we got to control the oil at my Fiat (Tempra 1.9 TD) and fill up a little something… (but didn’t miss much! So I went back to work and in the evening still to my girlfriend (everything on the highway total distance about 150km – top speed 170 and in average 140-150 km/h) So why I tell you all this… Well, as I arrived at my girlfriend I noticed a strong oil smell after I got out of the car! Well, I just opened the bonnet for control and found out that we didn’t pull the lid for the oil inlet tight enough! Well, except that the whole engine block is full of oil and now stinks like the plague, about 1.65lt of oil was missing! (So I immediately measured the oil and it was still above the lower mark – so still on d) I’m sorry for the many questions, but I’m really worried about my favorite… Oh, my God, I’m sorry for the many questions, but I’m really worried about my favorite… Oh, I’m sorry for the many questions, but I’m really worried about my favorite. a when driving home (of course again with full oil level) I didn’t notice anything that he would have less power or anything! Oh yes the engine has a little over 190,000 km down (only if that’s important!!) Thank you for every answer!

  • Caddy meeting 2007

    Hello guys, the next Caddy meeting (2007) is to take place again in Wolfsburg… Just looked into the calendar I would suggest another date between Easter and Pentecost holidays, say at the beginning of May as this year…Someone here from the forum told me some time ago (…with a glass of whisky…) that it was always nice in the beginning of May…! So I suggest the WE 04.05./05/06.05.2007 resp. 11.05./12.05./13.05.2007… It should be natural I will be camped again with Mr. Austria! As a “framework program” of course (forcibly) the visit of the Autostadt would be waiting again. So I ask from now on for comments on the proposed dates… More information (from the Caddy meeting 2005) to the campsite you will find here…! /!\ Very important, Mr. Austria put very great value on that, were the “rest times” of the campsite /!\ Since at least the same number of Caddys is expected (tends rising!) I ask for relat iv fast comments, I would like to call Mr. Austria as early as possible and ask what is with these two WEs? Place is actually not a topic on the campsite, but what if there has already been a golf GTI club or a polo club? Who comes first, ma(h)lt first! Greetings Torsten (…alias “Mc Gyver”, alias “El Presidete”, alias “Colt Severs” PS.: Wives & children are of course wanted again!

  • Please assess… ZMS or any other problem?

    Symptoms Rugging/shaking/dump vibration at 1800-3000U/min under load, under it very discreetly maximum…Mountain softer and uphill rougher… Stronger the higher the gear…especially from 4th. In lower gears one is too fixed during acceleration through the speed range. Dome I’m out of rest within seconds. I walk as it shakes only from the gas abruptly it shakes further. Over this speed completely normal also with full power for my feeling to final speed Start quietly, however, looks like the engine generates more vibration especially from 1500 rpm. Shows itself at the roaring of air intake channel in the engine compartment etc. I can’t say certainness that it shakes at already stronger. You get used to so fast. Switching operations, especially down amplifies uncleanly when coupling. As if something were swinging. Generally load changes are accompanied by a slight jerk. Does that sound like ZMS? It revolves around an Audi A3 TDI hand scarf. ers Bj2010 162500km.
