  • EVO or Twin Cam

    hello municipality, I am meant to buy a new fat boy model 08`. the main reason is that my 99 fat boy evo has too little steam and an upgrade of my opinion is not in any relation. there would be 200 rear wheel, 1600 hundred motor etc. the evo would remain an old motorcycle even after all modifications. I drove the 96 twin cam today probbe. he has already significantly more steam. but the exhaust sound.there you should do something immediately. what do you think about it.evo keep and with your peculiarities life or step into the new harley age dare. I am still a bit divided. I am looking forward to your postings maybe you can help me with my decision. so long fatty

  • “mobile” solution for additional headlights???

    Hej, after suggesting that we will be on our way to northern Sweden more often in the next few years and that we met the necessity and added value of the “typical” Swedish additional lights on the cars on the first trip there in December 2015, we would like to have them available in the future on our trips in Sweden. However, all sensible solutions are not compatible with the German registration authorities/TÜV or we do not want 11 months l Ang in D with extremely un-aerodynamic (and rather ugly) headlights driving around in front of the front grill, so that we would be very interested in a “mobile” solution. Of course, the wiring would have to be permanently installed – but with the actual headlights it would be nice if there were a solution that can be installed relatively uncomplicated as soon as you roll on Swedish ground, but which can be dismantled just as quickly and easily, if you get back to German territory I’m not fixed on the classic (large) round headlights either; I could also imagine an LED light bar if this makes things easier. Does someone think that this is feasible and can give helpful hints on how to do something like this or know a suitable solution? Tack så mycket! (Thank you!) 🙂 P.S.: Oh so – vehicle would be a Seat Alhambra 2.0 TDI 4Drive (model year 2016); ex factory with Bi-Xenon headlights, but which in winter in Sch Swedish Lapland is not really enough….

  • Only trouble with Clio Grandtour used cars

    I write because I need help. I bought my Renault Clio Grandtour from a second-hand dealer about a year ago. He has electric window lifters, the passenger side goes up much slower and also not by one-time pressures like on the driver side. From time to time you can’t get in the reverse gear, only by repeated attempts and despair then it works. And then there is still the engine noise or the speed. I often drive Stadtve However, he often “push” him free, and yet he has been doing it for a long time, so that the speed during the ride from 50, from 70 or at 100 km/h goes extremely loud and fluctuating upwards. Give him light gas. I have had problems with every car so far with the Tüv and am now really a bit afraid of it when I drive there in February and are again called several defects. Who knows himself? What can I do or what would you do?

  • Some questions about the Clio IV 2019 TCE90 (Sprit, soot, E10, engine run, oil,Navi)

    Hello! I’ve been driving my Clio IV for almost a month and already 4000km (driving is just fun with the ) I’m satisfied so far only I have some “problems” 1: After the first refueling with E10 the engine is noticeably louder and at the cold start it sounds like the complete scrap and it jerks and has bad gas acceptance (With VPower 100 everything better) Is that normal? Is the 3 cylinder just like that? Cold sounds like a 1-2 cylinder… 2: My exhaust pipe is already sooty, thought this is only true with direct injections.. Drive only long distance, is this connected with the turbocharger? 3: When I open the oil cover it smells really like fuel, like a motor saw is this also normal??? (My first petroler) Even after 200km full gas smells like fuel 4: The oil is already a bit brown and after 4000km, I know differently from gasoline… My father’s E350 (M272) is honey yellow after 12,000km pure short distance (under 5km drive), with diesel the oil is yes directly black.. 5: Was always satisfied with the Navi, above all LiveTraffic and the lightning alarms! But for 3 days the Navi, many roads “without names”, no lightning alarms or LiveTraffic, music via Bluetooth and Spotify has occasionally been allowed to drop out… Car was approved 1 month ago but is a Tgz of October 2018, there are possible updates? Very nice car but this is all annoying then a bit and clouds the impression.. Hope you can help me Thanks already LG

  • Automatic mounting/unfolding of mirrors

    Hello dear forum community. My friend has the problem with her 1.0 TSI Xcellence, that the mirrors only fold out according to the mood. Sometimes when opening the doors via Kessy, sometimes at engine start, sometimes not at all and only after a few games on the adjusting button. A real “system” when they do it or when they don’t can’t be recognized at all. She already suspected that it could have something to do with the safety belt, but there is also no resistance to it. Just do what they want. Or don’t do anything either. Maybe one of you has already observed this phenomenon? Is there possibly something wrong with any coding? From the settings in the vehicle configuration everything would have to fit so far… For tips I would be very grateful to you, otherwise probably only the ride to the friendly one will remain.

  • Coupling 1.0 TSI 95 hp

    Hi, I should have picked up my new Ibiza Style 1.0 TSI with 95 hp yesterday. Unfortunately, the winter tyres ordered had not been delivered, so that I got a rental car. It is a SEAT MII with 1.0 TSI and 75 hp. I have to admit honestly that I ordered Ibiza without ever seeing or driving it. When I drove the rental car yesterday (which is almost new by the way) I noticed that the clutch likes to be in stop & go traffic, or at I still have an old Totoya Aygo with 3 cylinders, where the clutch was also a big flaw. (And no, it’s not up to me, I can drive a car :-)) Now to my question: Has one of you already had abnormalities with the clutch? To share a long-term experience, I probably still new the car, but I would definitely like to know if this is also a flaw at SEAT. Thanks already for the Antwo Greetings to Serhat

  • Callback action of seat and back cover !

    Have since December a white up! with leather covers ! In June I got a letter from VW that the seat and back covers of the front seats must be replaced , as the white Keder can be replaced ! So I called VW to whether I can leave the seats inside until the problem may arise ? The answer is then I would have no more claim , if I would not make it the same ! Said , done to a VW dealer to covers ordered in July to get an appointment 2nd date when picking up the same in green ! So the 20.08.2012-24.08.2012 have been back at VW , after some excuses and new leather charge picked up again as “ready” looks it already better but the tile still looks out ! Do I have a claim to new seats from the series , since these are actually machined ?

  • Toyota Starlet really so fast?

    Hello I have asked a few questions a good friend of mine has a Toyota starlet BJ 97 with 55KW so 75hp 1.4L the vehicle as I looked up weighs very little so something about 900 kg what you notice with the acceleration …. what amazes me that he always skins that he can drive with it just over 190kmh (and that with such small tires?)?? In the vehicle appearance, however, it is only with I believe 169kmh indicated! Is he right or does he tell me one of the storks?
