  • Current power drop and jerking 1.4L TDI

    Hello, I’m new here and I’m not very familiar with engine technology either. I have a problem with my Lupo, he has now about 170000 km on it and has always run flawlessly up to now. Recently, a power drop of the car occurs at very irregular intervals after more or less driven kilometers. He drives hardly more 120Kmh on straight routes and he normally drives a lot faster. He starts to jerk down below 2000U/m and also has problems with the restart, the r engine sounds different too. It’s funny if I keep standing and the engine off and off again everything is OK again. Before I bring it to the workshop I wanted to be smart here, then if a friend could fix it. I found nothing similar here. Thank you in advance, Greeting Alex

  • 2 questions… Help 🙁

    Hello, I made a mistake and unfortunately only noticed it now. I have a Lupo Oxford, BJ 2002 recently and have refilled a little 10 W 40 oil. I don’t know exactly what was in it before, the note was not more legible. Apparently I should have taken 0 W 30 or 5 W 30. I drove about 1500 km with it. Is that very bad? What can I do now? And another question: I only got a key and I want to have a spare key made. ZV I did not. But there is no problem. And somehow, that you need to copy such a number. Is that in the vehicle license? How expensive is that? Should I go directly to VW? Thank you!

  • Engine damage 850 20v 170 Ps ?

    Hello, I have a problem with my 850 20V 170hp Built. 96. One morning I drove to work about 35 km, when I arrived at work I noticed that in the empty run a slight cracker came out of the engine, but that fluctuated as soon as one gave gas. I did not think much about it, so I drove after work still something pick up. I drove about 120 km on the highway with about 130km/h until I suddenly heard a sudden coming extremely loud clapping and squeaking out of the engine. it still sounds extremely loud as if the camshaft or a piston would hit wrongly. I had to drive with this sound about 3 km further, because I was just in a highway tunnel. I noticed that the oil warning light also flume like in the cycle of a piston ( but I looked oil and it was at maximum, so ok ). Now we have already removed the valve cover and found that the camshaft ran without oil. What can this be about? at once without warning the oil pressure is gone ??? Now we have removed the oil pump and installed a new seal and it seems to me as if the oil pressure is back now. Valve cover built on it again, but it still started immediately. So again valve cover down again and 20 new hydro plungers installed. But then it still ran equally bad. The engine tackers and crawls always as if a piston or a camshaft strikes What can be there, I also know no more. Mfg Henning

  • V70I BJ200 2.5 D consumption and control?

    Hello, I’m thinking about adding a 2000 he v70 I have a 2.5 D in choose with 140 ps (is yes the 2.5 tdi machine of vw) I was told you come with a tank filling over 1000 km it would mean the consumption is below 7 liters with a 70 liter tank sounds very little but is it also credible? and still what the red plakete so euro 2 there are but so many different tax rates for eur02 and diesel can tell me how much control I have to pay for the e further has surprised me the “strange” equipment he has climate but no air conditioning semi-leather foglights and 4 ephs and no board computer is it a zero outfitter or was there only funny with the special accessories accessed? thank you greetings

  • Seats and steering wheel in CTR /MOMO and Recaro???

    All right. Go for a bet between breeze radius and me. Have a question about the seats and the steering wheel in our CTRs. In the 30th CTR it is known that the steering wheel of MOMO. Does this also apply in the NON30th CTR? And the red seats in the 30th are from Recaro. Are these with us (so in the normal CTR) also from Recaro? Thanks for your answer. MfG Chris

  • Nowack tuning

    I had an offer for the engine conversion for the CTR made. It didn’t take long then it was there. They offer for our engine 4 upgrade stages. Performance increase of 15 – 80 HP But pure suction tuning is of course. I find it funny that you can get out 80 HP with our engine with suction tuning. This conversion should also cost 8390 Euro. What about it?

  • Difference engine: Civic – S2000

    What else would I be interested in: What changes did Honda make to reduce the engine of the Civic Type R by 30 hp? I mean, it’s actually the same engine as the S2000… up to the 30 hp. And still on the edge: A colleague borrowed yesterday from his company a Mazda RX8, the big one with 231 hp, and we played a little Need for Speed I drove away with the Civic Type R *joy* – but he looked…they’re about the same…bin a bit faster, minimal…times completely off that the Mazda has drunk 20 liters and the Honda only 13 *Grins* That’s fun…

  • horny Hockenheim video filmed from CTR;here from the forum??

    Did you get a link to a really hot video today that was recorded from a CTR if not everything was wrong. Was that someone from the MT forum or does someone know the driver/passenger??? Find the comments hit the nail on the head; almost ringed me in front of laughing!http://rapidshare.de/…/Camaro_crash_hockenheim_Parabolica.mpg.html Are almost 9 MB; but it’s really worth the video because you can’t believe how stupid some people are!! P.S: Until the link to download ers wait about 30s

  • V40 CC – Question about distance radar ACC, car behaves funny

    Hello! I’m still quite new here in the forum and fresh Volvo owners. I have a V40 Cross Crountry T4 AWD automatic, annual car since the end of December. So it’s all good so far, but at the moment I’m unsure of one of my assistance systems. The car has a cruise control and can also use radar to keep distance to cars ahead. If he does everything well, I put him in the city at 50 and at the greatest possible distance, he drives well behind the car in front of me. r, stops at traffic lights etc. It becomes funny when I drive behind a car and then switch to a left turn lane. The car accelerates then, if he before because of the front man eg only 30 drove on 50 and races on the cars, which are already in the lane in front of the traffic light, without braking. You then have to get into the iron quite quickly, otherwise he would probably crash in. I ask myself now if this is normal. Should he not also like before the front Fa after the lane change He also recognizes vehicles that shear in front of him and he also seems to notice those at the traffic lights, because the distance alarm lights and flashes and horns when you let it do it for the first time, but he doesn’t stop. Can someone say something? I haven’t had a car with such systems so far, my father’s Audi has no problems and doesn’t behave like that, according to his information. Would I really be happy if someone could help. Greetings, Sabrina

  • What appeals to you about the Young/Oldtimer or restoration?

    Hello, wanted to ask you something about the Young or Oldtimer in general? Ask the question consciously, since I prepare a small work with presentation for the school about the economic efficiency of a (part) restoration of Young or Oldtimer. Unfortunately I do not own a Oldtimer yet, have a 89er Jetta 2 which will be 25 in 3 months and thus finally belong to the Youngtimer. But I ask myself the question, is the restoration or that again make of such a Youngtimer imer/oldtimer economically worthwhile? I also want to include what the new purchase, the maintenance and the subsequent costs of a newer car would entail. So already compared to old against “new” used cars of newer year of construction. Does and drive you a oldtimer because you have fun at the car or because it is better economically? Would I be happy about a few answers from you! P.S. is a small oldtimer fan myself
