  • Are there any political Phaethon accountants ?

    Is there any political Phaeton customer manager ? Finally we know. Lt. SPIEGEL were the persons quadrilateral (mayor WOB) Mrs. Flach (FDP) and some other politicians (SPD) on the payroll of VW. Event. were the responsible for the care of Phaeton customers. No wonder at the stress these people have why the Phaeton drivers were so inadequately looked after. Supposedly, it is not yet clear what they did for the many coals at VW (according to Spiegel). Abandoned our concerns and problems with the Phaeton. I will never claim VW does not take care of the upper class (at least with the politicians)

  • The Phaeton error

    I think the biggest mistake the Volkswagen made is the huge VW coat of arms on the tailgate! For most it is still an image question. Toyota calls the LS 400, GS etc also not Toyota ! but LEXUS. VW simply must not stand on such an exclusive production on it. The Währe as if on a Rolex “ALDI Watch” would stand on it! And VW has the right to the name like “HORCH”, why not use this ! or bentley. Here you have the best example like a masterpiece of the automobile world . because of the false name became a flop

  • USB built-in socket waterproof/waterproof or 12 volt can?

    Hello I would like to operate a Navi on my scooter Gilera Runner FXR for the holiday. I have already bought the Tomtom one for sale. after I have thought up a hold, the question arises for me about a suitable power supply. USB socket or 12 volt can? How high should the charging current be? 2 Ah? Or 1 Ah? With a USB socket the clunky 12 volt plug is omitted, which I feel pleasant. Can one connect such a can easily to the battery? a separate fuse? If so, how strong should it be? Then, of course, I need a smart place where I could mount the can. The navigator is mounted on the left mirror mounting screw. Short ways to the can would be advantageous for otic reasons. Suggestions? Inspirations? Ideas? Greeting Michael

  • New “intelligent” charger “cooks” battery at 15.8v charge voltage

    Good evening to the forum, since my old charger gave up the spirit and indicated “full” for two uncharged batteries, I ordered a new one. More precisely the microprocessor charger DP 4000 from Cartrend. According to the instructions it should calculate the optimal voltage and charge current for each battery and not charge at all if the mode is wrong (12v/6v/under zero degrees outside temperature/etc.). Now I want to charge a 12v 2.3ah agm battery and connect it. e voltage from 11.5v, which corresponds to my multimeter. In selected mode the device should charge with 14.3v. At the beginning it also started to pulsate with 14.3v and I was satisfied. When I looked again after 5minutes, the display showed 15.8v however and I heard bubbling from the battery. Of course, I immediately switched off and was glad that no acid had run out. Now my questions: 1. What could be the reason for the increased charging voltage? Is my device broken? Are agm batteries special? (according to the instruction also for agm and allegedly no charging with wrong mode) 2. Is the battery once “boiled” broken? Thanks for all the answers

  • I accidentally filled petrol in oil tank

    Hello, I accidentally put petrol into the oil tank and then drove on with it. I wondered why I could only fill up so little, but didn’t think anything about it. After about 4-5 days the scooter went off on the way home, during the ride, and didn’t start any more. I then put the scooter away and filled the scooter the next day, but this time correctly and not in the oil tank. I tried to kick the scooter after refueling, but the scooter jumped I have a Peugeot scooter that is 24 years old. The battery is also not the latest. I wanted to ask you now if you could help me further.

  • Vespa 125er 250er – petrol consumption

    Hello Together, since I am thinking of buying a Vespa as an alternative to a car, I just wanted to get the opinion of others. Since I want to travel a slightly mountainous distance of about 45 km daily, I thought of a 125 or even the 250s. Does anyone have experiences ? How much use the scooters ??? – I found nowhere information about this !!!! Is there a cost calculation for these scooters (similar to the car) per km ? Sorry if I ask too general / diffuse – but you know yes, ask costs nothing. thank you very much !!

  • Clio does not inject. 1.2 D4f

    Hello, I’m new here would like to introduce me briefly: Beyond the 40, trained car driver, but for 15 years only hobby screwdrivers technically but reasonably at the height of the time. I have Clio 2, 3004 147, which now somehow brings me to my limits. BJ 05, 1.2l 55kw, should be a D4F, control unit from Siemens, does not start, ignition spark is there, petrol pressure is on the rail. So petrol pump runs. If I then feed him with start pilot he comes, but goes out without pilot again . So the injection valves don’t open… . OT Geber already changed on suspicion, but should he not have been anyway, would not otherwise run with pilot either. Currently no fault in the memory. Otherwise nothing inconspicuous, plug all in their place, relays where possible sometimes exchanged among each other, fuses ok. Can someone tell me what the immobilizer turns off, starters, ignition, injection, or everything? Otherwise any ideas? Thanks already in advance!

  • Clio starts badly

    Hello first of all to my car Renault Clio 2 1.5 dci (diesel) 2001 so for about 3 weeks my Clio makes problems at the start in the morning, the pre-gloss lamp shines continuously, even if the engine is already running. 3 weeks ago, when it was still a bit warmer the lamp started to shine at some point because I thought it will probably lie on the glow candles, so I changed all 4 but did not change anything about the problem. On warmer days it also started normally without problems, the I’m surprised that it’s not due to the glow plugs and now that it gets colder, it starts worse and worse, but if I turn the key 6-7 times back and forth before the start (for annealing), it also starts a little better than usual, but still delayed. Does anyone know what it can be? Oh yes and the glow time control unit I have changed already, that’s why it might not be a relay ? if yes, where is this for the glow candles Thanks in advance

  • Clio 4 (2017) Humidity in the interior

    Hello together, have a massive moisture problem with my Renault Clio, built in 2017. Every day the windows are covered from the inside, especially of course the windshield, but also the inside mirror, the side windows and the rear window. Whether dry weather or rain weather. When driving off, the windows are fogged, but in rainy weather the windows are sometimes already fogged when boarding. In addition, the blower always smells when driving off. It smells really moldy, modrig. As soon as the car is warm, it doesn’t smell any more. I still have a warranty or extended warranty 60 months and up to 80,000 km. Was also already with Renault and they thought they can take a look at the car and if they find something that is leaking, it is a guarantee case. If they find nothing, I have to pay the costs for the “take a look”. Do you have any advice for me or an idea what that could be? The interior filter is new and I have the Klim a have already been disinfected with ozone. I also got the opinion that it could be something with the heat exchanger or might be a little leaky.

  • Clio with LPG plant ex factory, gas plant spins

    Hello, I’m new here and have a riiiiiesen problem ( The forum here is practically my last idea or rescue where I might still be able to help. So the following, I bought myself in September 2010 a Renault Clio, BJ 2006, 43 kw with an LPG gas system ex factory. The car was not built for the German market at that time, but comes from Lithuania. So far I have always been satisfied with my car, but for about 1 week the servo display and the gas display have been lit. orange. The gas indicator otherwise lights green when I drive on gas. I can’t drive on gas anymore, however, it only drives on petrol no matter whether I put on gas or not. The workshop of my trust (no contract workshop) has read out the following errors: P1B00 P1B61 A sensor was replaced which cost 170 euros, but it didn’t bring anything. The errors are gone, however, the Servo + Gas lamp still glow orange and the car drives a workshop employee from Renault said that they can’t read out any more errors, or don’t know why the gas system isn’t running, because they don’t have software for this, because the car wasn’t built for the German market. So, now I’m finished with my Latin, what else can you do, you can order the necessary software somewhere, or I have to go to a workshop in Lithuania so that you can fix this stupid error and my gas Hhhhhhhhhhiiiilllllllffffffeeeeeeee Best regards Anja
