  • Twingo I 1999 – Engine noise – Front axle noise

    Hello I need 2 tips what my twingo has for “macking”. my free workshop can’t do it. Twingo Metropolis, 6/1999, 118,000 km, 60ps/44KW, EURO2 a) Engine noises – loud chatter and ring the loudest in the cold, when without load the speed is reduced. (so if you go from the gas) The whole is loudest around the approx. 3000-3500 turns. In the warm condition it gets smaller. Ringing disappears almost completely. the speed range where this occurs becomes smaller. it bl but louder motor noises. b) at certain temperature and humidity dependencies and after about 20km slow autobahn ride (a40 in the ruhrpott) the “left front wheel” starts to squeak. it is a mechanical and metallic squeak which behaves synchronously to the wheel speed. if I briefly tap the brake it is short-term away, if the steering is only minimally moving it is also short-term away. ?????? Brake pads are still ok – ca 5-6 covering – together with brake disc n changed 2 years ago. Every time I go to the workshop with it, I have the demonstration effect that nothing squeakes. ;-(( thanks in advance for your tips tom

  • Smart 453 and the competition. New registration ́s figures Dtl.

    Hello to the forum, there are also some friends of the statistics here. I looked at the current sales figures in Dtl and am very positive about the good numbers of the ForTwo surprised. Especially compared to the competition the little one, as well as the ForFour are fantastic. Here are the current numbers of October 2016 *Minis* 1. Smart ForTwo -> 3.048 2. VW UP! -> 2.831 3. Fiat 500 -> 2.330 4. Hyndai i10 -> 2.091 5. Opel Adam -> 2.018 . . . Renault Twingo -> 1.820 Source KBA * Small car* 1. VW Polo -> 5.656 2. Ford Fiesta -> 4.690 3. Opel Corsa -> 4.554 4. Skoda Fabia -> 3.770 5. Mini -> 3.211 . . . Smart ForFour -> 896 Source KBA Finding the numbers really top. above all the ForTwo is really awesome. Why the KBA does not list the Twingo and ForFour in a category will probably remain a mystery forever. mfg Wiesel

  • Insurance

    Hello together! I’m not new in the motor talk, but new here in the forum, just ordered me a 453. Well, a month ago. 🙂 What I wanted to ask: Actually, it was clear to me that I had the Smart, as I did with the predecessors, also assured at Smart. Meanwhile, however, I got the offer, was a bit astonished that it is only a few euros cheaper than my Q5, and ran a few insurance comparisons. All cheaper. Ok, which make up! I now know how to cost less, but can one tell me which insurances are also good, i.e. legitimate demands without tailmeck and quickly settle ? Currently AllSecur is in the lead. Among the cheaper, also with all the chicans in the contract, and I have at least not found a complete tear of them. Can someone tell me something about them, or has a better tip ? Oliver

  • First driving hour A1

    Servus, just had my first driving lesson and I have to say, I would have imagined it easier… First we are to the practice site and there I was allowed to start for the first time on a bike. So it was so that I made it 1x and then strangled again 1x, I don’t know, he meant I had to concentrate much more. So, then turn around went somewhat, later came the switching, from the 1st to the 2nd gear, then into the 3rd gear, again down to the 2nd gear, then a curve, back up into the 3rd gear, down into the 2nd, into the 1st and then turn. I had animal problems, which meant I still have. I’m already really desperate, I even had the feeling that this never will, but that’s one of the most important things. My problem was simply that I was much too overwhelmed, even my left foot didn’t want as I wanted, for example, when I was in the 2nd and then turned up in the 3 and then rant again. It would take forever for me to get my foot on the gear lever.. Also before turning I had problems, that I brake down, switch down and still blink and look around and then turn around… I would be interested as with you the first driving lesson was? I was also really excited and had the feeling that my FL was really annoyed… Do you have any tips? :S

  • ride with clothing suitable for everyday use.

  • Driver’s license A2

    Since January 2013 the laws for driving licences have changed. Who has the old A1 for at least 3 years, can acquire the A2 by only taking the practical examination (and of course exists). I now have the old driver’s license 3, which includes the A1 (up to 125ccm). For three years I drive a BMW C1 and want to switch to the BMW C1 200. A demand at the TÜV resulted: you can only register for the test via a driving school! d Fee for registration for the exam. I should also take some driving hours. Danaben is the actual exam fee of ca75,-€ a crack. I have the feeling I should be excluded. Does anyone know a cheaper way?

  • Light accident made by my wife today, who’s to blame?

    My wife once again had a small accident today. Car was only renewed three weeks ago from the last accident. The following: In a large parking lot she wanted to park out of the parking bay, drives very carefully, made sure to both sides, that no vehicle comes out slowly backwards and suddenly a vehicle drives past the back of the wheelbox and the rim. Had called me, then I called the police and that now made the following statement. For such a minor damage you call us, there is always the blame, who parks backwards, we can take it and give your wife a fine of 60,- + 3 points in Flensburg, or you settle it like that. I then said, no, then rather let it and we settle it like that. To the opponent he told then still, if there are problems, come to me to the department. Is it really so, or what do you mean to this case Our damage will be for 150,- t and the opponent I asked to settle it this way, but he refused.
