  • Electrical problems GJK – (almost) nothing goes more: AI, indicator, taillight,… – Cause? Manual?

    In the context of retrofitting AHK I “deleted” the GJK: Electrical is not sooo heavy (for this I also had a company letter). When determining the wires on the rear lights I noticed that the rear light is not working on the left side and no electricity is coming. Checking the –super achievable – fuses in the engine compartment resulted in a defective 7.5er, which I replaced. Previously in the engine compartment the small ones tested without defective. When pulling the dashboard fuses with pointed tongs there was once a short time a with the plastic gripper you can’t really pull the small fuses, because you have to squeeze them down (with other cars it wasn’t necessary) The problem is now: there’s almost nothing left. Motor starts, but AI doesn’t work – everything is dark (even no tacho); no blinker, interior light, tail light etc. The alarm light is shining – but turn signals don’t work. With the electric AHK I come so naturally nic I didn’t trust myself on the road either. I checked: again all the fuses in the engine compartment (also the big ones); almost all small ones in the dashboard; disconnecting battery (helped with the Zafira more often). Condition unchanged. Operating instructions unfortunately there was no one. Which relays or other/hidden fuses could it still be? Closing is not possible. LED lights on FB. Rear flap is then closed. Doors but not. Windscreen wiper works. Ignition does not work. 20th fuse between the front seats is intact. What is striking is that you try to turn on the ignition (do not leave it on), a LED lights up in the AI. Between kmh display and nav display; just above the center of the speed numbers. If you then let on, the LED lights up. If you start without starting the ignition beforehand, the LED does not light up. When trying to ignition, you can hear a noise from the engine compartment. Even longer battery disconnection does not change anything. If you pull the right small 30A fuse in the engine compartment, it goes off (in the direction of travel the left of the two 30A fuses). What is the fuse for? Isn’t the manual as pdf? At Renault, I find only that of the model V – with other functions in the fuse box. At times, a buzz in the engine compartment was detectable.

  • Renault Espace Built 2007 Diesel 2.0 Science(?) fap 173PS

    Hello I have to separate myself from my Astra for family reasons and need a bigger car. I now have a Renault Espace 3(I believe) from ez.2007 with 2.0 dci Motor 173PS. With alcantara leather, a lot snap, climate automatic… the car drives well and it also works everything. It has 150tkm and is supposed to cost about 600€. Are there negative things that are known about the engine, or you can recommend the motor. Don’t really know me at Renault. and does not want to make any mispurchasing. Greetings Holger

  • Experience with TCe 200 gasoline engine in the new Espace 5?

    Hello, we are about to buy a family car. 4 people, 2 of them small children. The car must have some steam and should be a gasoline engine. Euro 6 is mandatory. So far in the race: Ford Mondeo tournament or S-Max with 240 hp. Ford Focus ST tournament with 250 hp. Each of 2L displacement. The Focus RS Hatchback is still in my head, but would probably be a little too small for the family. The Renault Espace V would be an alternative, but I’m scared of the 1.6 L engine. I am afraid that such a small engine in a 1.7 ton car would be tormented. The car would be driven mostly by my wife on short distance, but for holiday trips then also Papi can drive and he wants to give some gas. The new car really should be (almost) new and at the price more at the level of the Mondeo. The Espace would be about 10,000 Eur more expensive in the street price, but I would do that to the necessity, I would like to know if there is someone here who would also like to drive a little faster and owns the Espace 200 gasoline. I would be happy about a few comments on this. Greetings, HC P.S.: yes, I know that a van is not a racing car…

  • Saw tooth formation rear tyres

    Hello, on my X-Perience I ride the Nokian WR D3 in 225/45 17 as a winter tire and was very satisfied with the tire so far. The wear on the front and rear axle is almost identical. After the rear tyres were mounted in front last autumn, however, there were strong vibrations at higher speeds (140 – 170 km/h) which increased during braking. Then I mounted the tires again at the original position and the problem was fixed at first. At the tyre dealer, the rear tires were then checked and reworked. Tires and rims had no height impact, an additional 10 g weight had to be glued to a tyre. However, according to the tyre dealer, this could not have been the cause of the vibrations. However, I was pointed to starting saw tooth formation. Unfortunately, saw tooth formation and noises are increasing. Now I have the Idea to change the rear tyres between right and left in order not to reinforce the problem even further. The Nokian WR D3 is bound to run directionally, is this nevertheless possible without hesitation or will I then get problems with wetness? The tyres have a 5 mm profile and should last just under 3 months. Next winter there will be fresh winter tyres, which will certainly not be tied to run directionally. I am grateful for helpful tips and suggestions. Greeting Oxebo

  • Leon ST CUPRA 300 4Drive DSG or Skoda Octavia RS?

    Moin! Must give my beloved Golf 7 GTI performance because of offspring… Would you like a properly motorized combination and fluctuate between the two so-called models (even since there are good discounts with daily registrations for already around 30k€, as soon model change takes place). Find the Seat optically and from the haptic more beautiful than the Skoda, both of which do not reach my GTI. Are there any other relevant differences that are relevant (classic childhood diseases etc)? Thank you and LG

  • Delivery times of new Leon

    So I noticed that there are serious delays with regard to the delivery times of the 184 hp TDI and 180 hp TSI, which is probably also based on technical problems. Originally I was interested in the 184 hp TDI, but I can not wait for such a long delivery time, because I need the vehicle when my previous vehicle is sold. Therefore I think about whether it should be “only” the 150 TDI Leon. Now my question: how does it look with the delivery time for the 150 HP TDI off? How long did you have to wait for it?

  • Upgrade trailer coupling at Seat Leon

    Hello Motor-Talk community, first of all: I apologize if this question has been asked in exactly the form more than once, but either I’m thinking of looking for something too stupid or… well, whatever… I bought (used) a Seat Leon model in 2017. I’m thinking about retrofitting a trailer coupling. First of all: is this even possible with the model? If the relevant thing is: it’s the 1.2 TSI, (7583 / AJZ). What’s the best way to do that? rkstatt? Or are there recommended service providers who have also specialized in retrofitting trailer couplings? Can one meet an approximate statement, what could cost such a thing in total? 800 € ? 1200 € ? More? Purpose of the AHK: bicycle holder. I do not want bicycle holder which is only clamped to the tailgate. Therefore the coupling. Thanks already for your help greeting Killerloop666

  • Flappennauspuffanlage suitable for Cupra 290 ST Year of manufacture 2016

    Hello, I’ve been thinking about buying a Remus Cat Back for some time now, but then I’ve come across the Flappennauspuffanlagen. Topic on what’s allowed and what’s not allowed at Klappennauspuffanlagenhttps://www.tuningblog.eu/…/ orhttps://generationtuning.de/is-e-a-klappenauspuff-allows-tuev/ ———————————————————————————————————————— For more information: My Cupra 290 ST without Opf may still be the old Klappennauspuffanlagen on it do according to Friedrich Motor Sport. Answer by Friedrich Motor and Sport: thank you for your message. Your vehicle still falls under the old guideline and thus you can install the flap system without hesitation. If the flap is closed, the system is approx. 2db louder than the original system. In the video the system is mounted on original cat. —————————————————————————————————— Now to my questions: Do you find these systems here but worth without DB if the flap is open, does someone have more details here? Reaper flap exhaust system Leon ST 290http://www.dth-turbo.de/…/product_info.php?… JE-Design Duplex flap exhaust system from Kathttps://www.sportauspuff-versand.de/…-cupra-5f-endrohr-rund-esd.html 76mm duplex system with flap control https://www.streetbeastexhaust.de/…euerung-seat-leon-5f-st-cupra I get the right idea that these systems are defini Tiv are louder when flaps are on, than series then ? Since I still drive the model 2016. These should have EC approval. And which would you recommend? Newer models where flaps may not be louder like series does not really make sense any more in contrast to a sports exhaust. Hope to give it all right again. I am very happy about answers.

  • Cupra 300 – Sports indicator freezes a

    Hello together, a question to all Cupra 300 owners. Do you also have the problem that the hands of the sports display freeze when you turn off the car and turn on again after a few minutes (or the next day)? The numbers are still changing, but the hands are frozen down. Only when you jump forward to the laptimer and go back again, or zb the reverse turn in, the hands go again. The dealer could reproduce the problem as desired, but has not yet e Solution. Greetings Rob
