  • Function RDK tyre pressure control defective?? No display despite bursting tires!

    Hi, was with the Alhambra for the first inspection. No mistakes, everything ok. Drive home, turn off the car, drive back and hoere and notice after a few km funny noises and bits jerked. Drive still bite further (speed 30 zone) gets worse and worse; turn off the car: mature completely broken; blanket already almost completely off…… rim but as if by a miracle still heals. otherwise also nothing broken. I am of course of the opinion that have in the workshop the mature where whipped up.. but the other topic. Why didn’t the RDK go to zero for a long time despite the loss of air? I talked to 3 people in the workshop: I should drive more than 5 km; sometimes faster; sometimes more pressure. I tried everything: several times filled up air, system resetts; drove and then drained air…. on several mature, short and longer (10 km) distance, sometimes faster, sometimes slower: System never went on!! Car should now again 1-2-3 days in the workshop( which bothers and even possibly on my Costs!!!). The RDK system would also indicate an error or system failure meant the workshop. But shows neither error nor air loss!! Someone a tip how I can test the system again? When and how IT MUST start 200%? Mfg benjamin

  • Seat pickup in the car town

    Hello Seat friends, I have a question. My wife and I are about to order an Altea from us. Lt. various internet forums should be able to pick up his seat in the car town. Ours means that, however, only in connection with hotel overnight stays and that costs then plus the transfer costs again just under 500 euros extra. Is that true? I know that you save at VW at factory collection approx. 300 euros. I have that with the Seat then also before. Can someone help me? Look forward to contributions!

  • Freewheel more economical than engine brake?

    Hello, I noticed that I have had a little more economical consumption (combined) than when I used the engine brake. First it was illogical for me, because the engine brake and thus the thrust-off no fuel flows, but at the same time more or less the vehicle is slowed down. Otherwise, the idling is running, however, the engine brake is rolling. In the end, I use the engine brake only if I actually have to brake (for example before a traffic light) skipping gears saves m. M.n. also. Why always. Switch almost always from 3rd to 5th gear. My consumption was last 1/2 liters below the com. standard consumption. At similar speeds I was at that time with use of the engine brake or not skipping the gears about half to 3/4 liters dub Has anyone had a similar experience?

  • Take that, you aluminum! (Or: How do you produce aluminum ethanolate?)

    Moin, the constant sult over the alu corrosion leaves me no rest. Various test series with aluminium inlaid in E85 remained of course resultless, so I started a short time a further attempt. – Take off an aluminium tube – loop the passivation layer – Heat the whole thing with a gas burner on a few hundred grad celsius – And dip the thing then in a glass 96% ethanol. The whole gives a funny film boiling during immersion n: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOIhWeowxQM That’s what you do for a whole evening… And then you find out from the alcohol damping that the alu has slightly discoloured on the remaining passive layer, but only there. I can’t say if the residue of the dedensing agent is now, for example. The bare aluminium doesn’t seem to be discoloured. I guess, without high pressure, it won’t be anything, and I conclude the short experiment as resultless. Greetings

  • An impudence of the workshop (Rosselklappe)

    Hi all, I brought my mitsubishi galant into reperatur, he always went out in empty run, but worked under load perfectly. the workshop meant throttle valve defective. he said you had to swap was a error code in memory, it costs 842 euro + VAT. he then needed whole 5 working days to get him to run again, he said he calculated me 4 hours + flap. well I thought if he goes again that’s ok. I picked him up and then the hamm he, 1789 euro, throttle valve 928 euro 6 hours time, oil change (was necessary because of an addition of cleaning agent for the injection nozzle he said to AGGRESIV ) and ignite candles. and now the hammer, the problem still exists, he has always died from me in the distance of 500 METERS during the decoupling, he said ” you have to drive 100 – 200 km and then is good ” there is in this LAND at all still a handcrafted honour ? NO ……. and competent dealers anyway not 🙁 i am upset that a i’m going to have my throttle valve tested at ecu.de (has someone already had experience with the company ?) in order to be certain if the old throttle valve was not in order. what possibilities do i have if the throttle valve was in order ? and what problem could I have ? has one a council ? I thank you in advance for every tip cu all

  • Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin 2.0 Purchase advice !!!

    Hello dear Mitsubishi driver, I’m still driving a 2001 ́s Subaru Imperza WRX, which I want to replace against a Pajero Pinin 2.0 with 130 hp ( and 5 doors, as well as the best equipment ). Now I have a few questions for you. – What do I have to pay special attention to when buying – Does the automatic model also have the lever for the reduction? – Dear circuit or automatic ( I think more circuit ) – What consumption than your Pinin 2.0 like this ( from – to and on average )? So now f I’d like to stay with the 10 – 11 liters with 11.5 – 15 liters Super ( I’d rather stay with the 10 – 11 liters), that’s hardly possible with the impreza because of the performance. – What do you pay in the insurance? ( My impreza is there “pigs” cheap, despite 100% ) – Do you think that this is a good purchase? ( I mean also because of the breakdown statistics and the reliability)? Thank you, if I forgot something to ask, then just write me everything that is important. Would I be very pleased to be able to

  • Which company for engine repair and engine dive experience?

    Hello all, My Audi TFSI burns about 1L of mot oil every 500-1000 km and I want a definitive real repair with new pistons, widespread piston stripping rings, chain tensioners etc. Could you share your experience with companies throughout Germany (or possibly throughout Europe) here for such a repair? I ask this question because I have difficulty finding a proper company. I regularly read a link of a company on the Internet, but then I also find experiences the I live in Waldshut Tiengen on the Swiss border, I am also available 500 km to drive. It is important that the engine would be properly repaired. I apologize if the topic has been discussed. Thank you in advance. MfG Giancarlo

  • BENTLEY ARNAGE RL MOTOR LIGHTS

    With my 6.75l V8 Twin Turbo Arnage, the engine shakes slightly in the empty run. After switching on, you don’t feel anything yet, only after a few seconds when the speed comes down to 650 rpm (normal idle speed). It’s regular small bumps he gives all few seconds of himself. You can also hear it from the exhaust. All ignition coils Ignition cables and spark plugs are new Fuel filter is new He doesn’t show any faults. Petrol pressure is only 3.5 bar in idle and the pointer twitches slightly to 3.7 if I play with the gas. 2x petrol pump from Bosch is installed. Does it seem to me far too little for suction pipe injection. Power supply is tested. Is it already in the bucket after 124,000 km? Well the car is 19 years old. I did not find a regulator valve and is not visible in a diagram either? The successor models have one, according to the diagram and parts catalog. Does anyone have an idea about what I could still look at?

  • Normal driving safety base training for XC90, Q7 and other non-offroaders and SUVs

    It is about a basic training (beginners, so to speak) at the ADAC, not in Grevenbroich, because this year there is no more, but in holders at the lake or creek or elsewhere, but others know better, but no matter, because I am there. Date is still determined, depending on the offer of the driving safety center *********************************** 1.
