  • Lawn mower purchase advice

    Hello. Since there are many screwdrivers here, I hope for experience with lawnmowers, after all, the main part of the lawnmower is the engine For my mother-in-law we are looking for a new lawnmower for 400m2 lawn in the garden. At the moment the 40-year-old Viking lawnmower is finished, it starts badly, every third time I can press, when it is drunk off, or the rope has tangled up somewhere, as it always does. False air, the gasifier is leaking etc. Actually it is still running, but it is not so unfriendly and is operated by amateurs. However, it does not have a wheel drive, which is now desired. Is the battery technology already so far, or is a burner still the right one here? The area has many trees and hedges, so that you can not start from the optimal running time because of the running time of a battery-mower, since you often have to rank. You should already be able to mow everything. without reloading or a second set of batteries. The question is also whether we take a cheap part from the hardware store and replace it after a few years, if it weakens or annoys, or take a brand mower, there are parts and also dealers who may know each other, in the hardware store this is rather not the case. Maybe you have experiences that you could call me here, manufacturers are good etc. Thank you very much Jack

  • 99 STS – Problems: EXP ID 113, EXP ID 54

    Hello, I’ve been having problems with my 99 STS since today: Some time ago, the message “Waiting for a Stabilizer” came out, while ABS and TC lights lit up. After a restart, however, it was always quiet for some time. Now the lamps are shining at every start and “Waiting for a Stabilizer” is also shining. In addition, “Schw. Grenze 145” is now displayed, when this speed is exceeded, the fuel supply is obviously reduced, so that you really only 145 km/h What needs to be maintained? And who can do that, if possible near Braunschweig? By the way, the on-board computer has been spinning since heue. Sometimes it shows me at 12°C “ice possible”, sometimes the oil interval indicator jumps from 47% to 0% and then eventually back again, sometimes comes “battery voltage too high” (at 14,2 V), the average consumption reaches astronomical heights (>70L/100km), the range is limited despite full tank, after full fuelling the tank watch showed “half full” ” but then after some time jumped back to the right value. What can be defective there?

  • Navigation MMI + MP3 + DRM

    Hello and good day to the forum, I’m here for the first time today and need your help. I picked up my A3 Sportback 8P in Ingolstadt the day before yesterday and am very happy by the way. Since I didn’t want to take individual CDs with me I just plugged in my 512MB MMC card and played it before with numerous MP3 songs, mostly from my own breeding. I noticed that some songs, which I use the internet radio of the WinAmp player streamed (here: Psyradio & Philosomatika) but are not playable on the big display. I have put all the songs on the top level, should not be called in subfolders or even deeper. Here is my question: Is it only the possibility of restriction by DRM (digital rights management) or is it a problem of missing matching codec of the autoradio ???? The said songs will be on my 3 weeks old Maxfield MP3 player, which has a special Windows Media signature, played without further ado. I conclude that it can only be on the codec. For further suggestions or even solutions I would be very grateful….. -Guido-

  • Chassis: Drive Munich – Mannheim

    On the last track mentioned above with my 3.2 A3 with S-Line suspension. This was my first longer ride over 150 km at a time. This constant extremely hard hopping was really annoying. At the corner around Karlsruhe up to the Hockenheimring it was particularly violent. I felt like at the waistband, when my comrade built out the shock absorbers in his yellow Ascona and you always hit the roof sky on bumpy roads. In short: It is on a long distance n too hard and an electronic regulation of the degree of hardness would be very useful from Audi. I would order this immediately with the new purchase. Just so much greeting from Munich

  • Experience Quattro on snow and ice

    Hello! there are already some threads about meaning or usinn of the quattro drive in the a3 and this mostly with the question dsg or quattro. Sundays before two weeks I had to business from bern to frankfurt and afterwards to Cologne (fair visit – 440km) and what happened on the highways in case of strong snowfall and smoothness (taunus area) I have not yet seen in 20 years. countless accidents and staus without end. the traffic reports overturned and the space vehicles were in permanence tz even though the forced masses through the staus were not really useful. the autobahns in the Taunus area with the many-percent gradients and gradients partly correspond to rather fast pass roads rather than high-speed distances. especially here you could easily see the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of drives. apart from the fact that there are still seemingly astonishingly many idiots who had dispensed with winter tires especially the vehicles of bmw, mercedes and other h The many electronic helpers also did not bring any positive improvement in the attraction. like on a ski lift and with due distance, the rear vehicles waited until they could conquer the slope sloppy and thus large space requirements (two lanes). some only managed with several runs and others were standing on the emergency lane with overheated engines or probably k upplungsprobleme. for my a3 with quattro drive absolutely no problem. the quattro switches imperceptibly but very efficiently and without great coupling effort into the happening. conclusion: I have always been convinced of this concept and surely you meet such conditions quite rarely but it is a good feeling that I can drive my 34’000 euro investment always and everywhere and therefore I am glad that I decided for the quattro and not for the dsg have. it may be shot! greet souldriver

  • DSJ .. Yes or no?

    Hello forum user. everywhere you hear and see from the DSG transmission… but now I would like to know from the shadow sides of this transmission.. so 1.) Problems? you read various times of software worries.. what are your experiences? 2.) Speed.. in which area the DIESEL (now no BENZINER!!!) spins like this? 3.) When I drive forward..stop .. fast in the reverse mode.. 1 m drive..and then again in the first.. (so quasi like the turning maneuver.. often before and back at the ra … how does the gearbox react like that? Commemorative seconds? 4.) Durability. has someone driven the gearbox for tens of thousands of km and if yes.. Problems? 5.) is there special maintenance regulations? 6.) Wear on the clutch similar to a switchcar.. or is there more wear to be expected? So .. that was my whole pack of 6… well .. I’m curious!

  • Primary oil refill on Softail EVO Built 96

    Hello together, I’m the new one 🙂 For two weeks now my buddy and I have been making his Heritage Softail Nostalgica Bj. 96 float again. Running it is wonderful! Now we would like to exchange the liquids all. My previous questions I could answer all about dei SuFu, except for one. I ordered from eightball a complete service kit with all oils and seals. Now I have seen that the new primary oil is actually always about the open-air nun. In my kit, which is intended for the Softail Evo models 1989 to 1999, there is only one seal for the inspection cover. The lady from the order hotline could not tell me whether the primary oil now has to be filled for the inspection opening. I hope now that someone can tell me what or how to proceed here 🙂 This is the kit: https://www.eightball-custom.com/…for-Harley-Davidson-Evo-1989-1999 V G Oliver

  • Slim S jerks at lower speeds

    Had today the 2 year warranty check with my Slim S (110 inch). From the beginning I moored the ruching in the lower speed range, during braking with motor, (under 1500 rpm). So for example at 2500 rpm gas away and only slow down with the engine brake. The first measure was the purchase of a “super tuner” on advice from my dealer, who then adjusted the motorcycle. The effect was that the Slim S had even more power but the jerking didn’t get much less. I was then told by the mechanic that a jerking in the lower speed range would be normal. I then settled down with it until I drove with my brother’s Slim (103 inch) at the beginning of this year, which drove at the same test as described above up to under 1000 rpm as on rails and without jerking. The workshop then tried a lot but without great success. The latest attempt today, the stand gas increased to 1000 rpm. about not so nice with the high stand gas. Therefore my question: has or someone had the same problem. Are there ways to get the jerking away. Thank you for your help!
