  • 6.2 Diesel does not start!

    Hello first of all, I am 42 years old and come from the surroundings Stuttgart. I am a truck driver by profession. Drive a GMC R3500 BJ 1991 with a 6.2 Detroit diesel and a 4L80E transmission. Have the following problem and I hope you can help me. He suddenly didn’t want to jump any more. I then checked all the glow plugs, power supply of the pre-glow system, all as far as Ok. Then I checked whether the fuel pump is pumping and I noticed that this is defective. Now he demands diesel into the injection pump but no diesel comes to the injection nozzles! I opened all the pipes and torpedoed them. There are only drops. Did the injection pump open housing and the chamber is full of diesel. I also tested the relay immediately and it opens and closes as soon as 12 V. What can this be? Bzw how much diesel comes from the injection pump to the injection nozzles? Does it have to flow or drip there? Ic h hope you can help me there and would be really grateful. Greetings

  • Loss of earnings after damage to civil liability for sole proprietors

    6 (!) months ago I had an unindebted traffic accident. The insurance company (HUK-Coburg) has paid all invoices until now, except for my loss of earnings. So far, in similar cases, each insurance company wanted proof of the earnings of the last 90 days before the accident. After deduction of VAT and 30% variable costs saved (petrol, oil, etc.) the net amount per workshop day was paid. I think that means “Bergerische Formula”? Every 4 weeks come ne ue completely senseless demands, e.g. the VAT invoices of the last 3 (!) years and now still the VAT pre-registration and income declarations for 2015 and 2016 (!!). The clerk now has no idea at all. The sad thing is, I have a “traffic” lawyer. Unfortunately, he does not act according to my mind and passes the inquiries of the insurance only to me. So I do his work. Unfortunately, you can not order a new lawyer without The legal protection only pays one lawyer. I wanted to know now whether someone had a similar situation and how he solved it? Or whether someone knows a verdict where the liability insurance has also made excessive demands and been expelled into their limits. I would also be helped by the wording of the “Bergerische Formula” or judgments where it was mentioned. I thank you for reading the many text, but it’s a shitty feeling that makes to be in contact with these insurance companies and, unfortunately, with some lawyers.

  • sporty, affordable everyday vehicle

    Hey guys, I want to get a new car early next year. Got a budget of roundabout 20000 (+2000), the car must have 230 hp upwards, as well as ever reasonable automatic and gasoline. Generally the car should be cheap in maintenance (-> no V8) ride only 9-10k km a year. Possible candidates: Golf 7 GTi Seat Leon Cupra 280 A4 2.0 TFSI Ford Mustang 2.3 Ecoboost BMW 228i/230i (possibly also 1er) Now I’m thinking about problems just from VW, because m I would be happy if you could suggest some modern cars (from 2014 or rather from 2016) that you can get for my budget with less than 40kkm at a German dealer. I like everything, compact class, Limo/Coupe, as well as Kombi, just no SUVs, small cars or French cars. I am of the type right German, which is why a high-quality interior would be important to me (that’s why the Mustang falls out rather) Many Greetings

  • Purchase advice BMW 318i e46

    Hello people, Would like to hear your opinions about a car and if necessary get tips whether you can access the purchase or leave your fingers off it. Go around the car from the description, TÜV New, summer, winter tires with good profile, transmission and engine flawlessly, small external defects. The car made a very clean impression, however, began to squeak in the test drive after a few minutes. At the steering stop. Had sounded as if coming I can’t really judge it from the springs, because I am layman. But the vehicle is already standing according to the dealer for 2 months. What made me stunned is that the airbag light has lit. After the test drive pointed out and from 1990 € down to 1,800 €. Incl. removal of the errors. Private sellers also turned out to be a dealer or workshop which is sold on behalf of a customer. With a resulting repair of 4-500 € I could live with the Price, I’m just not sure if there could be any more. Ask for advice. First registration 2001, 190tkm.

  • Control chain/balance wave chain

    Dear community, (maybe also the hangover is just around the corner…) my 2.3 Lpt model 2000 has now run 135,000. I can’t detect any oil-coking (test tip without oil tub disassembly came from the hangover). Now the chain gets loud. I assume that there is “normal” wear here. (…good at the 9000er it was 210000 in, a colleague got with his 9000er at 140000 ne new). Question: “Only the control chain with spanners renew or is there another program ?. Au f which costs can I be curious ? and what is there in addition to consider ? Repair will then be my friendly (free) Saab-Greek in Ludwigsburg. Greetings Jazzer 2004

  • 3 year 9-5 3.0 TID What now?

    Hello, my conclusion after 3 years 9-5 3.0 TID MY04: I feel really comfortable with the oil bowl up to a few points (see below). A bit rough for the city traffic, but that was clear from the beginning. My problem points: – tailgate does not go far enough, so that you have to bend with 1.93 height extremely to invite heavy things (is even worse, if you have a curb edge) – oil estimate rod annoying – the thought that the engine has only a low half-life – the De sign Audio control in the Navi-Touch you want to hit the manufacturer (Saab = Design???) – the kick-down cloud behind me and no soot filter in sight The following defects occurred in 3 years: – strong oil loss Vaccuum pump defective at 17TKM – Hydauliksupport tailgate almost no longer available – slight click noise front axle ?? – light width regulation sometimes spins (e.g. at the stand at the traffic light) – Airbag light is present several times for a short time and then never again The big ße question is what’s coming now. With the small diesel in the same vehicle I certainly won’t be happy… So either gasoline or brand change sniffed … Ubi.

  • China tyres: myths and reality ….

    Hello Motor-Talker, I would like to ask a fundamental question on the subject of “China tyres”. On the Internet you can find numerous indications that these tyres tend to be of much worse quality compared to well-known brand tyres. This impression has existed for several years. Now it is known that China is now selling millions of tyres worldwide, and this has been happening for decades. My question is: Are all China tyres/manufacturers bad? Have you had personal experience with current China tyres/manufacturers that are still acceptable? I don’t want to start a discussion here about how the cheaper China tyres behave compared to more expensive brand tyres from Western production. I’m more interested in finding out if you have also had positive experiences with certain Chinese tyre brands or manufacturers. . I’m looking forward to your feedback. Greetings Lina from Heilbronn

  • First contract on me, which SF class?

    Hello, my partner and I have purchased a Pampers bomber and this is to be insured fully. On the topic of SF class I am not getting through completely, the following situation: I took part in the driving licence since 2010 and also in the accompanied driving. Own car, as well as accident-free driving also since this time. The car is insured by my parents. With my partner the constellation is similar, driving licence since 2015 and also since time accident-free with own car The new station wagon should now be insured on me as the main insurance company and it. And here are the questions: Obviously I would get into SF 1/2. Okay is just like that. But what happens now in the following year? Is it really going on with SF1 etc. and the whole accident-free years are lost or will they be caught up and I would then be granted the accident-free time of 2010-today? From the previous contract of the existing cars we could where Hl at least take the previous SF class for these cars or if I understand correctly you could take the one for the new one and let the previous car start with 1/2? We are both insured with the same insurance, by the way, if that plays a role. Would be great if someone knows it and brings light into the dark- google makes me unfortunately not smarter… Thanks and lg
