  • Economy at New (Dacia Duster) for old (Scoda Octavia)??

    Hello guys, I (w) am about to make a difficult decision. 12 months ago I bought an Octavia Kombi Diesel Bj 2007 for 8000 EUR with 120,000 km on the speedometer. Now I have 138,000 km on the speedometer. Costs do me nothing, because I paid for it cash. Now I get slowly “fear” of the possible follow-up costs like the replacement of the water pump / timing belts which is soon to be faced. Due to the age of the vehicle could also slowly but surely also other Di nge. But you don’t know that…. Now I would like to buy a new car with high resale and have decided for a Dacia Duster Diesel for 18000 EUR. Please no rating to the vehicle. I stand on large massive vehicles and it also has a lot of space. Due to the inpayment of my vehicle and monthly rates of almost 150,00 EUR for five years I would have paid off after this time up to about 4000,00 EUR and the vehicle according to dealer still a R conservatively calculated from 8,500 EUR. Unfortunately, the dealer offers me for my only between 5,500 and 6,000 EUR. According to Schwacke ADAC, it stands at 7850,00 EUR. So I would have made a loss of almost 2,000 EUR in 12 months. Advantage of the purchase: A 2 liter low consumption, warranty of three years (possibly I would buy 2 years for 750, EUR to this) Disadvantage of the purchase: A monthly charge of 150,00 EUR which I could afford however and the high loss b a my old man Does anyone have an opinion of you? What would be more economical? Thank you in advance.

  • Quarter mile race with W220

    Hello motorsport friends, start on August 3rd at the quarter-mile race at the airport Bottrop-Kirchhellen with the start number 623. Of course I know that my car is the completely wrong car for it, but I also do not make any hopes of landing in the last place. Just wanted to be in the middle of such an event instead of just being there and enjoying the mood. Besides, of course, also the time that is possible with my car is very interested. Drive my car s but always very nice and think that he will probably survive to speed up one time under full speed, others do so every day at the traffic lights (-;. To the car: S600L MJ04 500PS Will definitely post you the time after the event, hope to create a 14er time. More information about the event can be found at www.race-at-airport.de If someone may have a tip or hint, I am of course very grateful as a total beginner.

  • “old” vs. “new” E-Class or rather S600L

    Hello to each other … I stand like so many before the difficult decision to buy a new (built) car, used because I have always leased new car in the last 10 years and the price difference is exorbitantly high – so high that you can easily get a good used one from it … I noticed a few things – it may be that it was about 2002/2003 with the E-Class T-model a change at the rear gave the older models look “steep” – the new / current model has a much rounder rear ? which is much more important – I have the chance for each about 25,000 me for each very well maintained E-Class 500T Built.2003 or an also very well maintained and equipped with all extra equipped S600L to decide the decisive difference is the trunk of a combo – but what do you mean as neutral “Jury” ??? is there purely technical or for other reasons an extreme pro or disadvantage of the two ?? I am already for 2-3 weeks at the pondering … the decision can and should not be taken from me but as a Mercedes newcomer (before 10 years Audi – before 10 years VW) I would like to listen to some opinions … Everyone who takes the time to answer – be grateful now for the effort – nice evening still …

  • NSR 125 throttle over 15hp?

    I heard that another throttle was hidden in the puff of an NSR 125. My little brother’s NSR was throttled to 80 KM/H (black box). Now it is said to be open but only 15hp. I have heard that by removing a throttle in the puff a performance of 24hp can be achieved. Is that a rumor or the truth? Then what is a cheap alternative to the original puff?

  • Coating

    Hi, I drive a Aprilia Rx 125 and want to repaint it. The problem is, the plastic tank and the plastic parts. I need a special primer or paint, because that is quite soft and bends scnell and I think ma there splinters normal paint quickly. And on the tank normal paint should not last long either, because the gasoline damps let the paint blow bubbles (even if it is already dry) and that then splinters. I need a certain primer or Color??? Greetz Ad

  • Cigarette lighter socket in the “charging room” reversing, which adapter/cable?

    Hello together, in my Vivaro C Built. 11.23 I would like to retrofit a cigarette lighter socket directly from the battery in the hold. Of course I do not want to buy cheap China scrap, therefore I would like to get a recommendation here which socket with cable I get best where. The socket comes as said from the battery to the charging space in height of the sliding door left side. At dire socket should be connected either a cooling box or a converter, with this data : Type designation Würth SSW150 Input voltage 12 V/DC Output voltage 230 V/AC Continuous power 150 W Peak power 300 W Power max. 150 W Thanks already.

  • Spacetourer sports suspension

    Hello! Recently I am happy owner of a space tourer, but unfortunately without a sports suspension. I had not missed that at first, until I was properly rocked on a wavy country road. Legs of my formerly appreciated passat I had already passed through the game… At that time strong side inclination – especially on the highway then it was unpleasant. I had then increased H+R feathers. That was wonderful. … Except for the fact that my handlebars the board yard I had to replace a lot of cuffs and wheel bearings and handlebars anyway. I had to do that with the series anyway, but the lowering has pushed that quite a lot. Therefore, I had changed the very good springs at the time for an original sports suspension – without lowering – from VW. -> Hardly any more cuffs, wheel bearings and handlebars – as usual – only every 1-2 years. I don’t want to put the space tourer deeper and not higher. If I see this correctly, I can only get from a The search function brings me a nice general opinion diversity to the basic question about only changing springs or changing them with dampers…. with and without justification but gladly with much conviction. What did your Spacetourer/Zafira/ProaceVerso/Traveler – driver with your suspensions organized and what experiences did you have with it? A van is not a limo. The question that I have to ask you about. For example, it is important to know whether there are only springs and dampers that are different in a sports suspension ex-works or whether other suspension parts such as special stabis or other handlebars are installed. And no, I don’t want a thread. The vehicle weighs about 2200 kg and has a max. load of approx. 2700kg. Shouldn’t I take part in a load increase right away? What is part of it? Except for the price and that I don’t have to use it for TÜV. – No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
