  • Coolant / coolant / silicate-free / silicate-containing

    Hello, the following question I had already asked in the RV & Caravan Forum, but unfortunately no answer was received. I am currently asking which coolant is suitable for which engines, or which motors containing silicate and which motors need silicate-free coolants and since when there is any distinction between silicate-free and silicate-containing and for what silicate is good and where harmful. I am aware that one should first look at the respective operating instructions, but for some vehicles this does not always lead to the desired success. For example, “nitrite-free long-term frost and corrosion protection agents” are required, but no statement about the silicate content is made. I am quite sure that one should not mix silicate-containing and silicate-free coolants, or only under certain conditions, but that is why it should be by the way. Otherwise, I have collected rather contradictory statements, which I do not want to repeat here. I look forward to expert answers. My regards Herbert PS: here there was a similar question a few years ago, which was not answered sufficiently for me.

  • Fiberglass normal??

    o.k. is not quite the right forum, but there is not an extra division for it and trunk are extended and doorboars are used here also more often. Is it normal that GFK is so unstable ???? I ask, because I want to repair my car a little bit with it ( trunk ). So I made a sample yesterday and just looked at me. So it is already, that it is really clear of glass, looks like plexiglas, but it is still quite soft. The shape is there but I k with a small finger press a dent, although it goes back to the original shape, but that is far too soft. So there are 3 layers on top of each other with 450g/qm not the thinnest. Actually, I intended to process it visually well and at the same time save weight, but as it looks at the moment, it must be so much stronger that a stable wood construction would be much easier. It is always swarmed from the fact that GFK should be so light, despite good sta It has about the resistance strength of 1st sheet of paper and there are 3 layers and it is even not even a straight surface, so it is a curvature (almost a hemisphere ) that should still provide additional stability. Ohhhhh man, that is extremely soft, or hardens that still in the next few days clearly after, nee wa ?? Harder was sufficient in it and it has passed about 24 hours.

  • Gasoline hose leaks – how to patch? What is the best replacement?

    Hello dear community, I restore a BMW E21 323i from 1981, a long-term project. So that the car does not get any damage or e.g. the brakes get stuck, I let the engine run warm from time to time and move the car something in the private parking lot adjacent here. That actually works quite well. A good 2 years ago the car was once in a workshop. There were among others petrol pump, petrol filter, pressure storage and a petrol hose replaced. After that the engine did not jump so well And there was a slight smell of gasoline. Nevertheless, the engine was running. Now it was no longer the case. The engine was spinning cleanly, but the smell of gasoline increased and petrol from the right tank was dripping into the road. My analysis showed that the “new” gas hose had a crack that probably got bigger due to the petrol pressure and thus no more petrol arrived at the front. I once added two photos of it. I would have two questions to you and would be very much about yours. 1.) How can I fix the petrol hose temporarily, so that it is reasonably dense? I want to start the car again over the winter and be able to move something. 2.) Are there quality differences with petrol hoses? Which is the best and where can I get it? In the spring I would replace all petrol hoses completely. Thank you very much for your support! Bye Jan

  • Rear-view mirrors hit, accident causer went to report, what to do?

    Hello, just a girl rang me and asked me if your car was mine (was just parked in front of the house). She hit me on the left outside mirror and completely destroyed it, but she didn’t know what to do in that case, and since I don’t know, I wrote down your car registration number as well as your name phone and cell phone number. What can I do in this case, or what is most convenient for me? Thank you! Greeting, tritonit P.S. Hab inzw a central bank called for insurance and the information is given that the car is insured at KRAVAG Hamburg if it plays any role.

  • Drivers?

    Hello. First of all, I would like to apologize in advance for typing errors. German language is just a heavy language )) And now briefly to my question. At 17 years I got an aprilia rs 50. I drove the good piece about 2 years. Even with the few hp and narrow rear tires were slanting and Willys no problem. So. I am now 28 and since that no longer driven. Last year in late summer my A driver’s license made. First on ne 600 he ridden ) (er6 n). My first impression. A lot of bangs But that was really the first one after half an hour driving the thing was already too lam to me. I also have to say that I had a very cool driving instructor. 160 170 on. Highway always drove without being noticed. Now it’s the summer coming and wants to get a kilo. Ne k4 or a cbr. Well I have respect for so much performance but when I buy a 600 he is afraid that will be too little performance. also family father and I don’t want to kill myself. And at the end I want to add that I’m a test driver by profession but of course in the car area and therefore maybe also this respect for so much performance. What should I do. Willys I want to do with the new motorcycle of course and also sporty driving. But do not want to kill me by any means ) Ask for advice and apologize again for the spelling and half the bible )) Thank you in advance
