  • Oil change Stilo 1.6 l engine – experiences?

    Hi! wanted to make the change of oil myself with my 1.6l motörchen at the Stilo. Now I am faced with the question whether how lt. instruction a 10W 40 or a 5W 30 should go in. I have already posted at “Stilo 20000er…. inspection costs”, think here I reach more people! Today I bought 2 ramps from Obi for 28 €. Now the question arises about the oil. the workshop has always filled in a 10W 40, but I would like to devote the money saved by myself rather to a better oil. Wi e am I going ahead? Car on the ramps, oil drain screw on – get out oil – filter off – new oil filter on it – oil drain screw on – new oil on top? Now I have looked, of course without ramp where the drain screw is, only found this picture. Is this the drain screw? Looks definitely different than with the polo. How can I get it? Please for help! Greeting

  • Dedra gasoline consumption power loss

    Hello, I have to get annoyed again…. Would you like to ask what it can be, that the car has a slightly higher fuel consumption and also a power loss in the warm condition. The engine runs quietly, speed if cold at about 1100 and after a few minutes it goes down to about 800. Acceleration if cold, is ok. Has however still a slight jerk or buck if the car is cold. Have tested all plug connections and treated with contact spray. I cleaned, were only slightly black worn. Then after 150km and after the cable testing action, zünkerzen a light deer brown. Candles are not oiled. Nevertheless new pure and now it is smelling really smoother *Beru ultraX* To the problem, when the engine is warm, it does not go through so well and I think also consume a little more fuel than usual. Power loss but somehow only in warm condition. Engine temperature if warm to approx. 90°C-94°C. If cold, also the one Küh Cold medium hose, the other one gets warm. Thermostat ok?! Have brake cleaners standing here and want to clean the throttle flap with LMM, do I have to take care of something? Detections is clear…and not in the built-in condition. Can I also be the Lambda probe, can I check it myself? Would be nice if someone could help me again. Thank you, Alex

  • Pajero 2.8TD, cold engine always goes off

    Hello, I drive a Mitsubishi Pajero 2.8 TD automatic built in 1998. The good guy has 195,000 km behind him and makes difficulties. The engine starts without problems at the cold start, but starts after a short distance and doesn’t want to start again. After several attempts he starts again. This happens again and again until the engine is warm. Does anyone know the problem and know what it is? Was already in two workshops and had various repairs carried out. Unfortunately v because no one has found the cause… Greetings suckler cow PS.: Even if I’m called suckler cow, I’m not a woman and it’s not an operator error ;-))

  • View off-road cars next to Koreans and Ford Maverick?

    In addition to Koreans, we also look at Ford Maverick? Hello, we are thinking about a Maverick, which is identical to a Nissan Terrano, to buy Bj 11/2003 with 32000 km mileage! Condition is top! It is to cost 14500 Euro. It is a 2.0 liter gasoline with 129 HP. Is this car recommended? Since we don’t know at all at Ford we would be very grateful for hints? How big is the trunk with the vehicle? We know that we are here on the Korean board, but at Ford probably don’t have any off-road drivers! And here have a lot of clues. Looking forward to your opinions!!!

  • Experts: Tractor wanted!!!

    Hello Motor-Talk experts, the following: My company is active in the agricultural sector and needs another vehicle that is able to pull a 3.0 t cattle trailer. In order not to have to invest too much money to a G-Class, a large Landi or similar, here’s my selection: 1.) Ssang Yong Rexton 270 XDI 2.) Mitsubishi Pajero Classic 3.2l Diesel 3.) Kia Sorento 2.5l CrDI 4.) Landrover Defender 2.5 Turbodiesel 5.) Nissan Navara 6.) Nissan Pathfinder 7.) Nissan Patrol the three Nissans all with the 2.5l diesel. What would you recommend to me, which car is best suited for pulling large loads and most reliable at the same time??? Or do you have other suggestions in the price range by 30,000 Euro???? Thank you for your help!! MFG Stefan

  • JBL 1200 GTI which power amplifier at least 1200watt RMS

    Hi. I drive an e 46 touring. I want to upgrade my bass. That’s why I bought about 2 JBL 1200 GTI. RMS: 600 Watt MAX. Power: 1000 Watt Resistant 4 Ohm I’m missing a clever end stage now. I thought about the Eton 2802. It has at 2Ohm 2×560 Watt RMS. Would this power amplifier be suitable despite the resistance differences? Do you have other power amplifiers suggestions? (up to approx. 300€) What do the resistance numbers have on it? And why at the power amplifier and at the sub ?

  • How is the varnish ‘treated’ for new car deliveries? Can I grow it right away?

    Hello forum, I’ll pick up my new car in Wolfsburg next week, and had thought about polishing the thing with carnauba wax right on site (it’s done fast) before it’s dusty and the procedure becomes more complex. (Have a wax, which I used already on my old car, and I’m totally excited about its service life.) Now, however, I wonder if the paint is untreated at all at delivery, or if there are any residues of anything on it. Does anyone know about this? Thank you in advance and say hello to Chris

  • Cabrioverdeck in winter (salt)

    Hello, We have ordered a Beetle Cabrio for my wife, which she will drive year-round in the future. After driving my parents-in-law to the airport today and my car is now in a complete salt crust, I wondered in how far salt for cloth cover is a problem. Can you tell me how you deal with it? Greeting Ronny

  • Used car has defects warranty?

    Hello, I bought a used Fiat Stilo Kombi 1.8 16v BJ 2004 with 1 year used car warranty from a dealer at the end of April, unfortunately I found 2 faults in the one month since I drove it. 1. In the rear of the vehicle squeaking the brakes extremely loud (I would say metal), and even during the ride it sounds sometimes as if the car was braking even though the brake was not operated. 2. What I find much worse is that car leaks is, as soon as it starts to rain heavily, the sky in the trunk is completely wet so that water drips into the trunk, because in the sky there are different spots (only on the trunk) I assume that before the purchase there was something wrong with it. I didn’t notice the two defects during the short test drive, what possibilities do I have now at the dealer? Ps: I personally would not have bought this car with the water damage, when selling again I can certainly expect a very high depreciation because of the water damage you don’t know what everything has become wet technology etc. and which consequent damage results from it in a few years. Would look forward to an answer. Mfg Goldenretriever
