  • C70 with Heico front flaps and 35mm springs

    Hello C70 fan community and of course all other Volvo enthusiasts, I have after a long time thinking now finally to modify my beloved C70 still something still to modify. First was only a lowering plan. But something ridden me and I ordered with me also the Heico front spoiler flaps, as they are so nice called, too. But after a day waiting it turned out that the idea was not so bad. I am satisfied anyway and I like it. He is now 35mm deeper through H&R springs and drives still quite comfortable. The wheels are “still” series with 235/45 R 17 but 19 ” is in planning. So that’s for the first time. Now to you … how do you like it?? Greeting Winni

  • Bye Bye Volvo

    Hello, since yesterday it is clear: My V50 is replaced by a VW Tiguan. An XC60 was also in conversation, but I would have taken it (also for financial reasons) only with front drive. Unfortunately, Volvo is still very covered with the prices here. I was very satisfied with my V50. Over the 5 years (the exchange takes place in August) I was very pleased with the car. Now I am looking forward to the Tiguan. As said unfortunately wait until August there can be exchanged only then (company car). Greetings…

  • Battery installation on the BMW R1100RT

    Hello together.. Has one of you already shifted a battery from you? And that is that I drive a BMW R1100Rt.. The problem I have is that I have no power connection in the garage and so that it can also not connect over winter. So I have to remove the side cover every time.. and that’s for…. So I thought to myself why put – I don’t just build it in the side case.. Has one of you already made this and can give me tips??? The cable are at the end provided with an eyelet (to screw it to the battery..) I had before the new cable then what goes to the battery with an eyelet on each side.. The one eyelet then stops for the battery and the other eyelet with the already existing with the help of a screw to connect with mother.. As a battery connected to cable.. Cable end also with an eyelet and then red with red … Eye on eye and then connect with a screw….. Isolated finished Would that work? or how thick would be attached to the battery?

  • Can I use these turn signals legally?

    Hello, I hope jmd. can help me and I wanted to buy this LED turn signal https://www.ebay.de/itm/233532705485 but don’t know if I can use it legally in road traffic. So with the brake light and day running light. Because there is only one E number on it, as it looks like, and I have read now that for all functions there must be an E sign. Others say that his sausage, what’s right now? Would be nice if someone could enlighten me:-). I hope this is the right place for this question.

  • Sh… cheap gasoline!!!

    Hello. So I don’t know either… Normally I get a little more brisk driving with my GTI at least 450-500KM far. When I was recently at the tank (DEA) the fuel was sometimes so cheap of mega piggy. Of course I filled up the same time as he was anyway all… Hey, I just got 300KM far with the super-duper mega cheap fuel. And now please don’t tell me that’s because of the driving method or so… That can’t really be… Greetings Jochen

  • Family van – 7 seats

    Hello community, we’re about to have some offspring, so we’re going to be a total of 5 people. (2 adults and 3 children). Our current car is a Renault Grand Scenic with 5 seats. The car is from 2009 and we’re probably going to have some more intensive repairs, so we’re currently looking for another car. If another person wants to ride (e.g. grandma/opa – friends etc.), then we’d have to drive another car -> so we’d have to drive another car. 7 seats are optimal. We have hardly any specific ideas regarding the requirements. The car should be built solidly, have a guarantee (planning safety) and monthly (rate) cost around 150,00€ (excl. maintenance costs, insurance etc.). Does anyone have good suggestions? Which car is most likely to be considered?

  • Question about phaser/sensor

    tach people, I have been reading with motortalk for a long time. today I had to register to get rid of some questions to the specialist world. my 147er now has about 80 tkm on the clock. for about half a year I occasionally got the noise when starting as if there is no oil up there. after 2-3 seconds it’s gone and everything is normal. I used to wear this to an alfa spec. he meant without opening the hood “is clearly called the phase sensor or also -displayer.” we thought that although the kilometers until the tooth belt change are not yet reached, the 60 months are easily over. I know what the part looks like and where it is installed and that the tooth straps have to be put down anyway. I just don’t know how it comes to the noise and how can you still recognize that this part is in the “phase control sky”. the consumption is actually in the normal range between 9 and 10 liters in the city. would be no problem to exchange it if it doesn’t cost you like it ́n ́.

  • Starter relay glued

    Hello, with my K75 the starter is no longer working. Have already implemented all the tips of the specialists. Nevertheless, “glued” the relay during the starter. You can only stop the process if you disconnect the battery. Therefore, I have already installed a battery disconnector. I have already taken the following measures: – new battery worried because the specialists at BMW have said, that happens when the battery is too weak – without success – starter is replaced – it was the theory, the starter pulls too much power – without success – electronic box replaced – According to the circuit diagram the electronic box is controlled during the starter – without success – the plug at the starter relay has at the plus pole 2 cable – one leads to the starter button, the other to a control device. Have now separated these two cables. If I now push the starter button, which is connected only to the one cable to the starter button, the starter is activated – without success – the starter is activated and there is nothing stuck to the electronics operation. Probably because the starter is not activated via the second cable.
