  • Smart engines 453er / purchase advice

    Hello, We are looking for a successor for the city for our 450 Smart. Ours suffers considerably from oil consumption, which is known in this series. Nevertheless, we would like to stay with Smart and think of a 453. Do the engines of this series have similar problems – susceptibility to engine damage etc.? What do I have to pay attention to?

  • ABC suspension SL 500 (R230, (not yet in possession)

    Hello everyone, after having read some articles about the obvious weak point of this car to the ABC chassis, I walked to the garage like I actually did every day and looked up…… The car is now, of course, at least in winter until the roads are completely dry again for “excursion” ……. Now I have checked the wheel arches and found that in front to the right, the car is lowered. This is certainly not normal, but after lä I’m sure it’s not really tragic…… Now the engine starts and the ABC chassis is going up and down…. Yes, it’s also rising up to the right and sinks like all sides and then stays up. How long is it now being observed. My question, is that still normal, or is there already a sign that something will happen soon? Liquid loss or a leak can’t be seen, at least not clearly under the car. Hanneman

  • sinking stationary gas

    Hello people I am an absolute newcomer in things motor have but some questions to you point one has settled and that would be cylinder head seal compression is in order of the cars ran only on 3 pötten so I have yet another problem and that is when I start the engine runs the speed normal at approx.780-820 turns after a certain time this sinks but and the car starts to jerk in addition to it comes in the lower speeds it can not regulate well the heat sst until 1200 turns the speed decreases again and again starting from 1200 turn it runs completely normal and I can regulate it.What could it be that I have such a few ideas? then I have a problem with the temperature of the cool water I reach on the highway only a maximum of 65 -70 degrees according to the display in the city he comes to 82-85 degrees?? what do you say is the normal I drive the car first 2 weeks? and my cooler runs after each driving a long time after no matter if I drive 5 meters or 100km would be happy about any answer!!! lg ingmar

  • Audi 80 engine (PM) has no power

    Evening, I am now also Audi owner. Today I made the first test drive and am very disappointed by the engine. I think I have never driven such a lames car. The 1800 carburetor engine with 90 hp in my B3 of 91. In the lower speed range with half gas it feels normal, with full gas the engine seems to be only louder, but not stronger. In addition, it is not at all cooperative at the speeds… From 3500 on nothing happens and is moving. ts at 5200 according to the rev indicator it then limits. Was thus already once briefly in the workshop of my trust. Ignition time fits now and exhaust gas on the tester also fits relatively well. At least it should not be. Exhaust gas behaviour with load we unfortunately could not check on the AU tester

  • VW 16v KR engine in Audi 80 Type 81

    Evening… I just remembered that I wanted to ask something. I have an Audi 80 Type 81 GTE as 2nd car. At the moment I drive it, but soon my 90’s Quattro. In the 80’s there is now a 1.8L engine in it. The previous owner has mounted a different head (from the Quattro PV), why ever. I have now Weber on it (very strong!!!) and I like that really well. The engine now makes so slowly sluggish. Now my question: Does the 1.8L 16v KR motor from the VW pallet fit into my My girlfriend drives a Jetta 16v and he’s doing so well, and in an Audi a 16v with Weber, that’s what I’d like to do. Or which Audi engine gets the power and the noise? And what would the nice gentlemen of the TÜV say about it? I now have a U-Kat engine in it, so the 115 hp series. It wouldn’t be a retrofit. I hope one can help me here too… Thanks for your answers…

  • LED filament lamps

    I got sent by Ebay H7 LED incandescent lamps and wanted to install them. It was unfortunately not possible, because these lamps are fixed by clamp bracket: like normal lamps too. The fastening at Ceed is however another, like a bayonet closure. Long speech short sense: Who can tell me where I can purchase matching LED incandescent bulbs. It is known to me that these LED incandescent lamps are not approved. Thank you for your answer!! Rambokater

  • Fast wear KUMHO ECSTA KU-31, you too?

    Hello! Have above mentioned tires in size 205/40 R17 on my Focus MK1 1.6 16V! According to ADAC the tires cut off quite well, also in terms of wear, durability! So I bought the tires in March and must realize that the front tyres wear out quickly! I ride normally, so not always with burnouts at the traffic light or with 150 around the curve. On the tread the ECSTA lettering is reing punched (was in original condition about 1-2mm deep – see picture) – back is the lettering still there and in front he had already left after a month already! (drive so about 1100 km per month). However, I am satisfied with the noise and grip! Have you had similar experiences with the tire? setje

  • Remove burnt plastic from chrome?

    Aloha. Don’t worry, I didn’t chrome-plated my big one. That’s really ned I’ve got an LS 650 Savage standing here and there was a textile pants unbeautiful contact to the exhaust. Result: Nice holes in the pants and black pampe on the exhaust. The bigger chunks almost jumped away by themselves but there’s still a lot left that doesn’t want to go away. So how do I get that wech? Nevr dull I tested but does not bring anything. What solves the plastic without attacking the exhaust? Greetings Maro

    Hello my dear ones, since it is (has) some interested how and what has come out of me now, after my NOT indebted accident, I would like to report briefly Vorab, I was overlooked at a intersection of a fire truck and from that the whole situation arose here. At the time I drove a Honda CBR 600 F BJ 2006 without ABS, this belongs now to the Mr. Mopped collector and is in very good hands, which makes me more than happy, because it was my “baby” and just good In addition, I have the opportunity to see them a few more times Now to the actual news, I have driven some wheels test.. actually 2 the Kawasaki Z750 and the Honda CB1000. If I had not become a bit more money it would have become the Honda, since Honda is simply Honda give do themselves but nothing but a few more ccm. So I decided for the Kawasaki then nevertheless, nice toxic, even in the lowest speed range. And I must be s so far I do not regret the purchase and the decision. Well long speech, short meaning. In the appendix pictures, high gloss polished (so reasonably) look forward to the 6.9. the tour in Austria and also to the invitation to the flame / pizza tour from Stefan, thank you again Allen Have fun continue, kiss Picture 1Picture 2Picture 3Picture 4

  • Search Tourer / Sporttourer but he should be sociable

    Hello forum. I had to sell my 900s disversion last year because of a bad illness, since I had made little hope of a re-seat, already alone because of the enormous weight of the Diva. Now all this has developed much better than suspected and I am back to buying a good machine. She should be, also with suitcase and topcase, to drive, and above all the Socius should have a good sitting position and the footrest back should not be t be so high attached that the knees are in the height of the ears. Just what for dignified tourers at a set age. The FJR of Yamaha is unfortunately too heavy for me, and a BMW too expensive, and as I heard quite expensive in the entertainment talking workshop costs. I’m looking for what about the 80 – 130 hp, no workshop technician, and not too heavy. With my size of 176 cm would be a sitting position around the 800mm OK. Please ask for information that will help me.
