  • What better than Blue Vision or Cool Blue? (legal)

    Hello everyone, I have the Blue Vision of Philips as H1 inside in the G3. I am relatively satisfied with it, meaning that the things are in any case better than the normal ones. At least the light (abbreviation light) shines white to whitish on dry road. The marking lines come to light well. But on wet rain road, even if it has no marking lines, in my opinion, also the Blue Vision have found its border area, because then you can see from This is my opinion about the Blue Visions of Philips. In the case of dry road full ok but wet road no clear difference to the normal ones. There are certainly the lamps of Osram (Cool Blue) or as the names also not much better. Please convince me of the opposite!!! So in the case of rain and wet roads the Philips and Osram pears are still “worlds” away from the xenon light, or am I wrong??? Has someone experience with the Bosch lamps, I think, they have already been mentioned here in the forum. Note: I am speaking here of the permitted lamps with 55/60 W (or so) and not of the 80-100 W variants. I know that these things shine brighter, but it’s about l e g a l e lamps Write your experiences with the legal Philips, Osram, Bosch, …. lamps on wet and not or badly marked roads. Would like to hear your opinion. Gruss Sirko

  • Strange car Parks in front of the garden… what to do?

    Moin, I’ve been having a lot of problems lately, with strange cars in my front yard (rare area in front of the house parking). What can I do about it? I’m of the opinion that you can clearly recognize it as a front garden.. (In any case you can see that it’s not a parking lot.) What can I do about it? -Near the car wait until the driver comes back and gives him the word for Sunday (will be boring for a long time, and you don’t always have the time to do it. – Police is a nu r responsible, if there is a damage – towing.. whereby I am afraid that I will remain on the cost… did you happen to have other ideas, or possibly also to have experiences to tow away with? THX Greez BarT PS: Attached a photo of the lawn piece… (The T4 is mine and in the foreground you see a regular parking lot..

  • MG ZS Hybrid+ 2024

    Today I have ordered the new MG ZS Hybrid+ Luxury https://www.mgmotor.eu/de-AT/model/zs-hev (drive like the MG3 Hybrid+) and would like to know your basic experiences about the MG brand. Has the lane hold assistant improved recently? In my research some MG drivers complain about insufficient implementation. Is OTA already available or is this still a small advertising lie? Delivery is due to take place this week.

  • Legacy How do I recognize timing belt change

    Hello, I’ve been driving a legacy with 2.5L engine with 132000km and don’t know if the timing belt was made, you can see if the timing belt has already dropped 130000 or only 25000? Have the cover removed to look at but I know too little to determine if that was done or not. Does anyone have a tip? the straps and the timing belt disc was once marked with a pen is that a sign?

  • Experiences with Alfa 156 Sportwagon???

    Hi together! I would like to have a new Alfa 156 sports car 2.4 JTD 20V M-Jet order. I drive approx. 20000 km a year and need a reliable car and a little more space soon!:-) Since I am actually more busy with Audi, I would like to ask you the following questions: Does anyone have experience with this engine??? Are there general weak points at 156??? How prone to repair is the 156??? (the “golden car” from Auto-Bild) How recommended is a Di asel from Alfa??? Or would you rather buy a petrol truck??? Thank you for your tips and comments! You would contribute something to the purchase advice! Greetings, Chris

  • Idle with 156 2.0 TS

    Hello to all alfisti! I came up with it anew, and read your passionate reports with pleasure. So, I have been having a problem with my baby for some time now. If I drive towards a traffic light, or when driving the clutch, the revolutions fall into the red area – so 500u/m, then it goes down to 1200-1500 to get it again at 900 u/m. I have already read many other posts here – but nothing happened so – therefore I post hi r new. He does it with cold as well as warm engine. It’s a 156 2.0 TS bj.99. Has anyone had this problem before – which solution? Was it more often with Alfa – reading as usual the memory off – no errors. And the typical demonstration effect – if you are in the factory saddle – the error is gone – well. I hope I can help specis further! Already before – mille grazie! Ciao

  • Stress with the Lima-strange loading behaviour of l300, 2.4i

    Hello together, I installed a new Lima about 2 months ago, ran without problems until about 2 weeks ago. But suddenly no more juice on the battery. Voltage with multimeter of battery measured with the following result: Engine off: approx.12.5V engine started: approx.14.3V consumer on (light, rear heating, ventilation) approx.14.1V engine after a few minutes in idle and consumer on: 11.9V consumer then off: approx.14.3V ??????? Who can help me there? Battery pulls itself after a few dogs km imm It’s empty again, so I don’t dare to go on with light and heating. If it’s Lima, why is everything normal at the start? Thanks in advance

  • Pajero V20 2.8 always goes out at extreme minus degrees

    Hello, at the current temperatures, as today around the -12°C during the day, the Pajero V20 2.8 Bj.96 does not run anymore. That means it starts normally, you drive 1-2 km, then it goes out. Sometimes jumps again, sometimes not. Is definitely because he gets no more diesel. If you pump by hand on the diesel filter a few times, it runs again for a few minutes. What do ? Diesel pump “frozen” ? No pre-shipment pump in the tank does not have it, doesn’t it? Greetings, A3-Rocky

  • Mega-comparison Hybrid vs. Normalos at the Autozeitung

    Have a look at this: http://www.autozeitung.de/online/render.php?render=0123453 Prius, RX400h, GS450h, LS600h are compared with BMW, Mercedes and VW. Drive privately prius and have to say, the consumption advantage in the city is deutlicjh recognisable. but the small luggage rooms of the hybrid sid already a bit!
