  • About Bordstein Dangers (damages?)

    Hi guys, I need your opinion. Today I was on the way (as well as in stress) in the city. I was on the right track in front of a red traffic light when an ambulance with blue light came. Because I did not want to drive over the red full and at the turn to the right (on the right there was a narrow road and a car on the road) little space was I had to drive narrow right. Was then with the front wheel behind the curve but when I then continued the right rear tire over the board I don’t know how fast I was but guess min 5 to max 15 kmh (think but less) . I checked the right rear wheel now. But I don’t see any damage. Drive a Q8 SUV. Can I still have something badly broken and how do I control it best? PS: I attached a picture to the situation statement. Thanks in advance LG Timo

  • Paint space off, inferior paintwork?!

    Hello together, I’m interested in your opinion: I had my summer tyres installed today. In November when changing, all summer rims were without damage and were stored in such a way. After changing today as I said, the front rim had paint placer. The tyre dealer did not want it, of course, because these were only stored. In case of damage picture also understandable. The now damaged rim was not completely repainted until March 2022. ekt from the tyre dealer to the paintr. He doesn’t want it either, because 1. Would have been overpainted 2. The warranty would have expired for a year And he pushes all the blame away. In my opinion, the paintr simply worked badly and just doesn’t want to admit it. I definitely didn’t let anyone else repaint or repair the rim. The only one that was on it was the paintr. I don’t see it either, for such an inferior or sloppy Arb I don’t want to pay again.

  • Tire Stretching

    Let’s assume that someone wants to “stretch” his tyres with extremely wide rims. The free access to the car is only one side, the other is whether the wheel and tires still fit together at all. I assume that there is no ABE for extreme combinations, but that this has to be done by individual acceptance. What makes it decide whether such stretching is still possible or not? Theoretically, the question also applies the other way around: A tire on a very narrow rim.

  • Question on acoustic/insulation glass

    Hello together, I will order the BiTDI on Monday and am unsure if I should buy the acoustic/damm glass. Drive the “normal” A7 3.0 TDI at the moment, and find that the car is quiet enough, also I do not find the sunlight excessive. Nevertheless, I have read a lot of positive things about it in the forum. What about the extra weight (total) of the acoustic/damm glass (without privacy). Does any of you know about this?

  • Accident, allegedly to blame but not noticed? No police

    Greetings together, party 1 parks out and is supposed to have party 2 bumper “angeremptelt” whereby the following damage should have happened:https://www2.pic-upload.de/img/33605760/image.jpg At party 1 on the car you see NIX, at party 2 only these scratches. After some discussion names are exchanged as e-mail, party 2 reports after 7 days with an estimate for the “damage” which is to concern 800€ because only a bumper change would come into question. It would be e did not involve police in the accident, party 2 had only one witness, apparently his partner etc. How should party 1 proceed now? And is a sum of 800€ justified for this damage? The model of party 2 is a silver Opel Astra bj- 2014-16 estimated, with the model of party 1 a BLUE Polo BJ 2015.

  • How do you start with vintage cars?

    Hello Motortalker, so slowly I get to the age (19) in which the first “real” salary is in view and I fantasize accordingly about new hobbies. I always found oldtimer nice, but since I come from a rather “academic family” I have absolutely zero idea of technology or no practical screwdriver experiences. So how to get into the oldtimer scene best? Until my planned / desired own oldtimer purchase it is still about 3 years but I think you can never start to find out soon enough. So questions like this: How do you get into the classic car scene best? Are there textbooks that can be understood about the technology? Are these model specific or are the technology of the different manufacturers at this time so strong that you only need “special knowledge” in special cases? How did you make your first experiences with vintage cars? (Does it go rather bad at a vintage car meeting and say: “Hey You there, can I watch you screw?” Greetings Felix P.s.: About the person: I live in Karlsruhe and start (after a semester of physics studies) in October with my dual degree in mechanical engineering/production engineering.

  • 998S Final Edition

    Hi guys, since summer is coming, I want to get a new bike. As always it should be a DUC. A few years ago I owned a BEN BOSTROM. I would love to get it back. Unfortunately, these machines have become very rare. Therefore, I decided for a FINAL EDITION. Unfortunately, there are no more like sand at the sea. At Mobile there are several models. She should not have run all too many km if possible. e DUC from Mobile. Please take a look at them. I don’t know pictures say much. Just to look at it is too far for me. I’m especially interested in the KRUMMER INSTRUMENT, the dealer thinks she didn’t see a race track !!!!!!!!! For this the KRUMMER INSTRUMENT looks, but pretty hot driven for the km it should have run. http://suchen.mobile.de/…/showDetails.html??… BUY ??? or LOVER FINGER WEG ??????? Thank you happy biken

  • Which six BMW ??

    Hello together Have a 330CI Facelift at the moment and are satisfied with the vehicle except for the many reperatures. I have been playing for a while with the thought maybe in the new year to buy a 6er. Since I am quite stingy, only the 630er comes into question. I like the Facelift with 272PS better, but I have read that these problems with the direct injection / injectors etc have ? – Which version is reliable ? The 258PS motor or 272PS motor ? – Or makes it sense noc h 1-2 years to wait until the 635d is on the price level of the current 630s? Is that more reliable?
