Hello, I would like to point out the following problems in this topic: According to the EU Regulation 2019/1148 (here as full text: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/…/?uri=CELEX%3A32019R1148&%3Bfrom=EN ) the private purchase of various chemicals over a certain concentration is prohibited from 1.2.2021. Among them also sulfuric acid >15% concentration, which is used for refilling car batteries. Before the 1.2.2021 acquired stocks can still be owned until 01.01.2022. the possession of sulfuric acid >15% illegal. So those who still have old, non-maintenance-free batteries should take advantage of the opportunity and still cover themselves with sufficient material. By the way, this ban does not apply to sulphuric acid, which is in car batteries (see https://fulbat.com/new-regulation-for-the-sale-of-acid-for-batteries/ ) VG

What brings bigger/smaller rear silencer?
Hello guys. I drive an old Super Seven. When I bought the car, it was extremely loud because the engine was massively adjusted. The end pot was completely empty, so the sound had an extremely unpleasant pitch, which hurt the ears at medium/higher speeds. The car consists next to the seven-typical chassis of parts of different car models. There are no “original parts” for the car, the exhaust is a universal part. I can therefore within the db registration in the paper legally exchange. 3 years ago I used a significantly larger rear silencer, so that the car became much quieter (approx. 80db). But after a long search and testing I got the car car car / engine adjustment, the car has now become much quieter again and thus it lost its sporty characteristics. It has now subjectively less sound than a GTI. Entered are 88db. They do not necessarily have to be (the tube e My goal, however, is a more nuanced sound, especially when it comes to gas. Currently, a round pot is 420mm long and 150mm diameter installed. A size smaller would be 125mm diameter (length remains the same). It has a calculated 30% less volume. Does any of you have any idea what that does with the sound / how much db louder the slimmer pot is expected? Tips? Of course I don’t want to have to buy different end pots in the Trial & Error 5.

Conditioned car with former water damage
Hello, I have now taken over a car.. TÜV fresh without defects Extensive used car warranty Unknown water damage, which according to information may have been maximum in the footroom of the car. Car was extensively repaired according to dealer. Steering column, gas pedal, throttle flap, window lifter incl. electrics was everything renewed and repaired. He had informed me about the water damage. However, since the dealer made such a very good impression, good reviews had been online and I had the aut o with both TÜV, as well as with inspection and warranty, I have seen the damage as fixed. Almost like a paint damage, which one specifies, but does not have important for the function of the car. Now I am totally unsure… I myself read topics where I find all the information from “no problem if it has been repaired properly” to “no matter what, the car is repaired itself not durable”. Dealer says himself that he is important to the customer is satisfied, happy to come back and his Ges This is why it would not fit if he sold a car, whose durability he could not guarantee by the damage alone. Now the child may have fallen into the well, because I did not pick up the car yet, but had already completed the purchase… I wanted to have the car checked by a specialist workshop after taking over. How are the experiences with a water damage in general, if the car after that extensively revised Rde?

Steel rims banned?
Good morning, I was with the Audi partner yesterday, because I am currently looking for winter tyres. There there were very nice Audi original Alusals factory offer with Dunlop 205-55-16 for 185 euros. When I wanted to buy these, the part seller told me that I should not drive these rims, with the 225 hp coupé only rims with a press-in depth of 32 mm are allowed and there I would have “surely difficulties to find cheap!”. She could give me some for about 380 euros per piece. When I then approached steel rims, I was told that I should not drive them at all. My question now is: Does anyone know cheap aluminium rims approved for the TT? Or can I have smooth rims (e.g. the RH “MX Snowline” in the workshop or just registered with the TÜV directly? And what does that cost in some way or is this a big effort? And can I really not drive steel rims? Thank you, Best regards marcus

One spark plug is significantly darker than the other injector?
Hello, this is a crosspost from the W205 forum, as I seem to be an individual case and it is not a model-specific problem. I changed spark plugs a few months ago, but I noticed that the spark plug from the 3rd cylinder is significantly blacker (see picture in the appendix). However, the car drives quite normally. Black, dry spark plugs should be a too fat mixture, so injector broken, respectively leaking? The CCs were now the prescribed int 15tkm. Have been original MB candles and have now been replaced with NGK SILZKFR8D7S (probably exactly the same as the original MB, since also “Made in Japan”. What I have done so far: * Ignition coil of 1st and 3rd cylinder replaced. Result: The 3rd cylinder continues to produce a darker spark plug (see second spark plug image) * Compression measurement with Bosch compression tester. All cylinders are between 11 and 13 bar, whereby the 3rd cylinder with 11 Bar delivers the lowest result. I don’t know any more, but I don’t want to change the injector to good luck either. The vehicle is a Mercedes C180 pre-mopf with approx. 66tkm from 2015. Thanks for reading!

Engine jerks in cold condition
Good evening , I have the following problem with my k12 1.4 88ps Bj 2003. He sometimes has in cold condition idle , such a jerk , as if the engine is going out any moment and there is a speed fluctuating from 500-1500 . As soon as the engine is warm , everything runs wonderful . And there is also no error and the car does not go out . The camshaft sensor was exchanged in April this year . Now at the beginning of September the steering chain was changed . Picked up & drove for half an hour, again the engine light lit. As a result a mistake was read out with the lambda probe and then it was exchanged. Tomorrow we have the spark plugs renewed, because I had bought the car this year used & we do not know when this was last done. Did you vlt make similar experiences with your car & found out what it was about to jerk this ? I ask for your help! Thank you!

Speedster with 1.6 turbo and gas? DSF engine
Hello, yesterday DSF engine looked around around 20 o’clock. Think it was a WDH. On the DSF side I learned that it was m episode 209. Subject was fuel saving concepts. Amongst them was an Opel Speedster with 1.6 Turbo engine and over 200ps. But it was not fired with normal gasoline but I think natural gas. Sound very interesting only I could not remember the special name of the model. Since I wanted to take a closer look I would have to know that of course. But he is supposed to be a single piece, but he thought it was very cool. Did he happen to see this jmd. and remember exactly what the Speedster was called and which company remodels the whole thing?http://www.dsf.de/…/dsf-motor.html Greetz

I’ll start off. -Oil measuring rod broken (1.5 weeks to wait for replacement at Audi). -Car raised on one side when changing tyres with 2 jacks. Result: One slipped, nice dent in the threshold. -Motor hood closed even though someone else was standing under it. Now you! Greetings!

I wanted to get some opinions, on the topic of year of construction, motorization, error sources, rust susceptibility / special rust points, which should be taken into account besides the normal reviews of a used one, etc … Maybe times noc h some information about consumption and so … Thanks!!!

The Calibra design
Hi guys, something interesting happened to me the day before yesterday: 16:30, after-work evening, city motorway ascent Berlin-Stubenrauchstraße, American work colleague (who is also a small sports car/coupe fan, but is more familiar with American and Japanese cars – in America he drove a made 91 or 92 Supra with a good 300 HP) on board. Suddenly he says “Hey, look at us, also a Calibra, only in grey and dirty…” … I look more closely and tell him “Nee, that It’s not a Calibra, it’s a BMW 8 coupe.” When the BMW turns in front of us, my colleague also recognizes the Bavarian roots and thinks that BMW and Calibra have an immense resemblance from behind. So far, I have only read about this resemblance in contemporary magazines, but even car-loving people confuse them, is new to me. What do you think about this? What have you experienced with your Calibra in this regard? BG CS
