  • Inductive charging tray in the Kamiq MJ2021 model

    Hello Skoda Kamiq Fan’s … I have a question about the INDUKTIV charging tray in the new Kamiq MJ2021. Will your smartphone also be so hot if you leave it in the charging tray longer? I almost “burned” my fingers today when I had to take the iPhone out because it displayed a warning in the display. It was so hot that the thermal protection turned off the phone. So I took it and had to drop it in the footroom because it was extremely warm, so felt already After I cooled it down (held on the AB from the window to cool down), I turned it on again and the battery was charged to 80%. I put it again in the charging tray to see if it can be recharged further. Except that it got very hot again very quickly, nothing moved at the charging state. Now I will not use the charging tray and ask the dealer if this is normal and if you can disable the function. The iPhone was really hot. 45 to 60 minutes in the loading tray on the way to Hamburg today. Can’t that be normal, can it? Does anyone have any experience with it? Best regards from Königslutter Axel L.

  • Rust on the tailgate

    Hello, we have our Campster (Citroen Spacetourer) for almost 3 years now. That the rust prevention for the PSA/STELLANTIS bus is not the best anymore in general today, was clear to me. Many people have spent a lot of money on an underfloor protection. But the underfloor is not at all the problem with the vehicles. The folds of the doors and especially the tailgate cause me more worry. The doors are still ok with me but the tailgate sees already z It’s the inner fold, so you won’t see anything from the outside for a long time, but it’s not nice. What’s your experience or do your vehicles look like? Do you also have rust problems with your “relatively” young PSA/STELLANTIS bus? Otherwise we are super happy with the car! It rides super, is very economical and is especially fun as a camper.

  • Toyota Proace Verso receiver heater / setting electric sliding door

    Hello, in relation to a conversion with a GSM module (Danhang) I would be interested in the location of the receiver of the radio remote control of the heater. On the official page there is a guide for a traveller, but I did not find a receiver here at the Proace Verso. The trigger should be located on the left side next to the steering wheel behind the cover for the “switch” of the heater. It is a Toyota Proace Verso BJ 2020 Executive Maybe jema I have another question: Does someone have a manual to adjust the electric sliding doors. My door is closed but does not pull up, after that comes only a flaw tone with three beeps. I thank you already in advance. Greetings

  • Laguna “live” on the street

    Has anyone seen a new Laguna on the road? I don’t mean the dealer’s vans. I kind of feel like it’s not being sold. Other models that come out can be seen back in the road traffic, but I haven’t seen the Laguna yet. Today even my dealer called me if I had already decided to buy one. I said if a test drive in a 2.0dci hand switch is possible, we can talk about it. So far it has been n I hope that something happens now. Only those who take care of their customer can sell something. And then maybe I can see the car in everyday life.

  • Vel Satis a meaningful car for me?

    Hello, I’m driving as you can see at my signature at the moment a Focus 1.8TDCi tournament. It now has 140,000km on the clock and the repertures are increasing enormously (climate compressor, magnetic coupler, electric window lifter, Lima, handbrake sensor) within the last 6 months and I want to separate myself from the car. Before that I had a 5 BMW and drove a lot of factory cars at Mercedes and appreciate the comfort of these cars. What does this look like at the Vel Satis? our Renault dealer doesn’t release this class of vehicles to people under 25 (even no used ones?!). Does the Vel Satis of uncomfortably rolling off and feathering approach these vehicles? As an engine I thought of a petrol engine, drive only 17-20,000km next year and often refuel in Austria, a diesel is no longer worth it after my bill (purchase price, tax, insurance, maintenance). What about the 2.0T? Recommended and about the highway (tempo 160-180) with 10 liters? How stable is the Vel Satis in general? Are there bigger problems besides the 3.0 diesel? A facelift is unfortunately not in there… Last but not least, does the Vel Satis have a cruise control as standard? Greeting Stefan

  • Some problems with Agila B

    Hello, I brought my Agila B into the workshop a lot of annoying!!! Agila B 1.3CDTI Edition EZ 05/08 km 20000 Here is a short list: – Metallic scratching when braking – watch always goes about 10 min after – rattles when accelerating under load at approx.3500 rpm – interior light no longer works – turbo whistle – fuel consumption rose by approx.2.5l – oil can lights, oil level is supposed – heavy gear (in return) yesterday morning brought and picked up this evening (Erss Atzfahrzeug Insignia 2,0 BiTurbo Sport 4T, a dream in black) – Opel knows the problem, is in the process of remedying it ( get in the front a new brake, saddle, disc and coverings in March) – Opel knows the problem, has developed a new speedometer, (comes also in March) – FOH thinks it’s up to the chain, next week Friday comes one of Opel (FOH thinks there’s a new engine) – humidity in door contact (cleaned and preserved) – winter problem(ice crystals destroy the shovel wheels) ) with the 1.3 cdti, however, has not confirmed itself with me – DPF problem, repeatedly tried and broken freeburning tests (New software or comes new DPF and or engine) – through the DPF freeburning tests diesel comes into the engine oil and therefore the oil level (help like one above) increases – no remedy, lies on straight toothed return if someone has questions, just ask!!!!!!!! mfg Mike

  • AGR ex factory not available, but control unit with AGR software installed, no PINs available

    Hello, the following scenario: I purchased a 2004 Agila A with Z12XE, which turned out to be very complicated. Main problem: The vehicle brings AGR error messages and goes into the emergency run, which would not be unusual, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Unfortunately, the engine control unit is a version of 2001 – when this model still had an AGR. Thus, the control unit asks the correct function of the AGR and, of course – because it does not exist – makes a mistake. The retrofitting of an AGR valve is not so easy, since there are no corresponding cables available. So probably the original software for the Z12XE from BJ 2003(?) should be played in the control unit without AGR. Jet As I don’t have a security pin to the vehicle as well as the built-in control unit, the FOH probably can’t do that. There are papers and proof of ownership about the vehicle, so I could have a new car pass issued. However, I don’t get a car pass to the built-in control unit (VIN would be available). Therefore, the questions: Is there a simple, affordable way to read out the current security pins of the control unit and speedometer or using the V To get IN’s? (I’ve already gone through the Internet: I’m probably going with Op-Com Advanced, but I don’t know anyone who has that. With Op-Com China replicas probably only with version 1.39, but supposedly only with Corsa C. Otherwise only with soldering and reading out the chips) Does anyone even have a suitable software for the Z12XE 2004 without AGR? Which could certainly help here also the FOH, if the PINs are known and everything is reset correctly & registered again. G Is there perhaps any other way to program the AGR out of the control unit or to suppress the error without having to retrofit the AGR and the wire harness? Thank you for your help.

  • Agila engine noise normal?

    Since July I drive an Opel Agila Bj. 2003 with 125000 km mileage. At the beginning I had the impression that the engine is quite loud and/or can be heard in idle mode a rattle / clacker. Oddly enough you can hardly hear it from outside with open bonnet. I had asked at ATU and there they thought the noise was normal for a 3-cylinder. Shortly afterwards I had the brakes renewed at the Opel dealer and there also nobody has anything about a Noise said that didn’t belong there. But I didn’t explicitly ask about it there either… But somehow I have the feeling that the noise has become stronger, but can also deceive me, because I always hear any noises on the car anyway 🙂 It only occurs, as I said, in idle, as soon as I give some gas, it is gone. Can it really be normal for a 3-cylinder ?? Thanks for answers ! LG, the Lexi

  • Opel Agila A rear lock no longer works

    Hello, I’m new here on MotorTalk and would be happy about help.I drive an Opel Agila A Color Edition red Built 08/2001 1.2l 16V 55 kw approx. 70000 km. Now I have the following problem. For a few days I can no longer open the tailgate. If I put the key in the lock and turn is no sound to hear and the lock does not unlock. In the meantime I had removed the inner cladding of the tailgate and tried to open the lock via the bars, a About it doesn’t work. Does anyone have an idea how to open the tailgate without leaving a big batch of money at the FOH? I thank you in advance for your help. LG
