  • Windshield seal missing?

    On my R231 from 2012 the windshield was replaced last week because of rockfall. On today’s first trip, the wind noises from 120 km/h seemed quite loud to me. Then I looked at the new disc a little bit more closely and found a 6 mm wide and about 5 mm deep air gap at the top, between the disc and the frame. I am not sure if it was already available before, or if there is a gasket or the part of a gasket missing now. . I will drive to the workshop again on Monday, but it would certainly be good if I didn’t stand there so stupid. Maybe someone can help me by looking at his R231. Thank you in advance. Hinnerk

  • Petrol in oil and oil loss

    Hello, as some of you know, I didn’t swap the crankshaft on my scooter all too long ago. Apparently, all of this didn’t go as smoothly as I thought, because I had a bigger problem, rather than even 2. First I noticed 2 weeks ago, after the stronger rain, where my scooter had to be covered, that there were 2 drops under it, apparently engine oil. I didn’t think anything about it, because I thought that the rain might have washed dirt down. However, it is always the case that if the scooter is half a day or a whole day, under it are always 2 drops. So I looked and at the deepest place where the engine halves come together, it obviously flows out. I don’t know if I have not tightened the screws firmly enough, or if it is related to the next error: I wanted to check the oil level and, why ever, smelled on the measuring rod: the result is, there must be petrol in the oil, since it already In addition, the stand is probably slightly higher than I had filled in engine oil there. Can it be that by the fact that the whole gasoline has diluted the oil, it drips out below? Anyway, I want to eliminate the problem as quickly as possible, can you please help me to go through it? Where do I start with the search? The scooter runs well as usual, it runs without problems and also the speed has not changed. He also does not smoke out of the exhaust.

  • ESP and ABS lamps light simultaneously

    Hi together, I just changed my TT Roadster Quattro 3 months and so far the coupling rods, the stabis, spring bearing and drive shaft have been changed. 🙁 The car has now 73 tkm down, is year 03/00. Now I have a problem with the car for about 250 km again. Sometimes the ABS and the ESP lights light up at the same time and only extinguish after re-ignite once or several times. Have tried if then quattro might not work or something like that. It turns b a wet road when starting no tire through. What can that be? Someone had this problem before? Somehow I really lose the fun of the car, especially because I drove it only 3000 km. Most of the km from it to the workshop. Greetings Christof

  • Problem with opening/closing my SLK 230 Bj 2001

    Hello, at my SLK today suddenly the following error occurred (Bj. 2001, 230 Compressor) The ZV does not work anymore via the key, the inside button goes.

Does anyone have an idea or a solution? Thank you and Gruss Juppi

  • Question, purchase of SLK R171 AMG 55 Your opinion

    Good morning to all SLK fans and specialists, I intend to buy a SLK R171 55 AMG. In the net there is hardly anything about the 60tkm. I found one, a Japan reimport from 2005 reimported 2008. Here approved and upgraded. Currently around 58000km very good condition also on the underbody like new question, what do you think about it, all KD made at Mercedes in Germany and various parts changed on the chassis. Gear oil changed. What can cost so much, what must I pay attention to. It’s gonna be just a summer vehicle with me. Nice Easter in general….Neurologist

  • DT175MX 2K4 (1979) Motor restoration/reconstruction

    Hello together, I bought my DT fresh and of course it blocked the rear wheel with my luck and most probably eaten. Since I don’t want to start 5 times I would have removed the engine and completely rebuilt it. In addition, it should be brought technically to a more modern level. I have all plans etc. for the moped however before going off I have various questions. – Are other motors and attachments possibly from the Dt250 or 125 with the de r 175 compatible, can I even insert the 250 engine directly into the frame? – The same question arises for me with the gear parts bearing etc. – Most likely the trigger from the piston eater was a defective oil pump. Does someone drive with mixture? Couldn’t be a topic to shut down the pump. – What is it like with tuning? is there experience with tuning parts? Does the device have another cracker / end pot there are any tricks from the ignition side? e already with the original parts difficult to find the right parts. Do you have good pages for OEM or also tuning parts? Parts numbers etc. Here my complete project: For links and recommendations I am very grateful! > Light & turn signal: Should everything be LED For this I have already selected all parts. > fender back: would like to shorten thus I need a 2nd > Krummer + Endtop: Have you experiences he gives shorter end pots/ sport manifolds with more volume > Carburettor: which carburettors do you use like this? Which are reliable and give a little more bangs on the bike? > Tires have I already picked out more smoother to be able to drive on the road a little more pleasantly. > I would have reinstalled all trains as they are all rusty. > Transmission: are there still original or OEM transmission parts as well as all seals Simmerrings and bearings? > Cylinders and pistons: I found the following: https://www.ebay.de/…/114220859366 > Screws: I need all the screw sets > Suspension: Which oils do you use? Do you get the chassis a little bit tighter with another oil? Do you have links to the sealing kits and bearings? As you can see, I need almost everything I am very grateful for every link, experience and tips.
