  • Vibrations on the front axle

    Hello together, the Anniversary is making me a bit perplexed. The following has been done over the last year: So at 118tkm, I believe, both front crossbars have been exchanged, as clear noises were heard. After that everything was fine again, until again slight “cracking noises” from the front axle were heard (mainly with slight ground waves briefly in a row). Check of all front axle parts did not produce any results, nothing defective. Then came vibrations (with steering wheel) I suspected the tyres, since the first set of summer tyres! But since still good profile, I had to balance again, no improvement, but the mechanic found that the shock absorber screws (central screw on the “Dom” were too loose. So the shaking was tightened and away! As a reason for the crackling noises the cathedral bearings were diagnosed, should then be made. At meanwhile 133tkm there were 2 new tyres in front.. . and… now the vibrations are back again… Now I had the cathedral bearings made right away, which unfortunately did not bring anything about with the vibrations and from time to time it still cracks! Tyres change from front to back (different manufacturers, not scolding, there was no more…) to exclude them, but also brought nothing. Who still has an idea? Have already read the contributions to the drive shafts, only with me vibrates also without acceleration and sometimes more and sometimes who iger…?? So always here with good tips, so that the car is completely fun again! Greetings audax

  • Pre-heating G500 Me Connect 463A

    Hello, now a few days have passed and also because of the preheating I was in the workshop … the friendly said it could be on the battery … now fully charged and no error message still comes… To the sequence: Me Connect called Preheating selected and kept until the remaining time of 50 min appears … mobile phone closed and 20 min later in the car in the display the error message “Error preheating please read operating instructions… now in the Betr iebanleitung reread and as ordered several times turned on in the vehicle… then again via me Connect tries error itself… with the friendly again checked and once it went … now again the same problem …grrrrr… My question is the only one with the problem or does one of the New G500 have a problem here? I can’t try using the remote control because I didn’t order it, because everything is controllable via Me Connect. I’d be happy to have a salvific impulse to think… beautiful kisses.

  • Replacement key for vehicle always with it?

    Hi! Have you ever thought about storing your spare key somewhere on the outside of the vehicle, if it is not possible and the key is still in it?? Or a second key in the vehicle, if you want to get in for a bit, but want to lock the car and the engine should continue to run? mfg sven

  • Price for speaker installation!?

    Hello! In my Golf IV (two-door) I only have the factory (2oW) speakers in the front doors. Now I would like to replace them with better ones (50W), plus two more rear ones (currently only glare available). Since I have little idea in this area I would like to let experts do it myself. So that I have a clue: What is a fair (normal) price for such work?: replace front speakers, rear ones which, cabling Thanks in advance, mf g aedificans

  • Can I spat these rims or should be welded

    Hello dear vehicle maintenance forum, I have since the end of December my first car a Seat Arosa 6h Bj. 97. Now the winter wheels on yellow steel rims are so beautiful. The summer wheels are however serially black with a yellow glued strip (was still the first expansion stage). Well now this would be a downgrade in my eyes. So now I have to have aluminum rims now I have also found exactly the size like my summer Dunlops which I have. Price also still to bear. but they would have to be painted in a few layers anyway, most probably they should then become black. My question is now only how do I get rid of the stacks. Now I have divided opinions on the topic of aluminium rims spat. I am clear if I always run with it on the curb that does not last long. But now in particular in this case I can spat aluminium rims with what and how exactly. Or would there have to be partly something welded on if yes what costs it Ps. the rims are not my own yet and still have to be picked up what probably happens the week.

  • Uneven wear and tear of tyres

    Hello, the front tires of my Fiat Ducato are unevenly worn out, on both sides much stronger than in the middle. What does that mean, and can it change something? Thank you in advance! manoka

  • Balanced aluminium wheels with or without centring rings?

    Hello forum community! What’s your recommendation/experience, should you have new aluminium rims or wheels balanced with or without centering rings? I bought new aluminium rims (with ABE) for this summer, namely Borbet TC 14 inches, LK4x108, ET35, centering rings from 72.5 to 63,4. Another question, I was happy to take as short valves as possible, is there a page or a shop where I can see several valve variants? Preferably rubber valves, but if aluminum valves are not too expensive, could the e also take. In the appendix a few photos of the rim, centring, ABE. Thanks for their answers in advance!

  • Overvoltage protection at external start

    For the current occasion, I also looked around for a third-party starter cable in the course of a new battery. For this purpose, there are the most different qualities. This time it was important to me that the cable is extremely long, because one of my vehicles is so parked that it is difficult to get there. But long also means that the cross-section has to be larger. In addition, it also depends on the overvoltage protection when choosing. You can also retrofit it. A well-known German Firm a offers something like this for 2 different cable diameters directly on the cable (the cable -8m- which I have in mind does not have that!).Other companies offer an overvoltage protection for mounting directly on the battery. My questions: 1. How effective is the whole thing at all? (It should also protect the pears from voltage peaks in normal operation) 2. Is there a difference between an overvoltage protection on the cable to an overvoltage protection on the battery? (I have scho scho 3. Should you still work with cables or not look for another way? For example: starter battery or capacitor technology. (I tend to a capacitor technology in person, because a) a starter battery after years is also empty, if I need it and b) the capacitor technology lasts a lifetime and shows no wear.) What do you mean?

  • 2 DIN box solution

    Hello friends, I would like to install an In-Dash screen. But I need a DVD radio with changer control for the series changer. My question is now, where do I best install the 2nd radio? And then all the functions still work e.g. hands-free device, FIS display, Bose system etc. ? Which components I would not be able to install, because I lack the necessary coal for a horny Alpine system, so it will probably not be high end products My work colleague bought such a “cheap” In-Dash TFT-B. and that looks quite neat. And it also cost only 120€.
