  • Drum brake gets hot

    To the vehicle first of all: Escort Kombi Bj: 92 1,6 16V GAL mileage: 140tkm The following problem: My left drum brake was so hot last week that I got rid of the rubbers at the wheel brake cylinder. Of course I have now changed wheel brake cylinders, hand brake rope, brake cheeks and the wheel bearing. But I still have the same problem I can drive max. 5-10Km otherwise it will be too hot again. The successors can’t be with me since the previous owner had it done last year in November (workshop). What else can it be???

  • Ford Ranger 2014 Massepunk for Pritschenelektronik

    Hello, I have a mass problem with my ranger with the platform electronics or the lighting. If I use the mass from a lamp behind with a cable and hold on the platform everything fits. Otherwise I have no stand light and the turn signals flash on both sides if I only flash to the left or right. Now I ask myself where this electric is closed on the ground because I have unfortunately not seen / found anything! Otherwise everything works without a wall. Thank you in the foreground Mfg Manuel

  • OT. Telephone ISDN Question

    Hi all. As some know (and now also the rest) I have moved. Have now a new provider named Arcor. My attachment for the OT is ne question regarding a cable. In the set of arcor is a TAE plug that goes from the socket to the wall and goes into the DSL modem. I need a longer cable because this is only 2 meters long. now there is only this TAE RJ12 cable in the trade, mine I have is an RJ11. knows who with it or who knows where I can get such a cable?!In the media market or co I was already….they all have only this RJ 12 (whichever this may be called). Or can I take the RJ 12 and leave it like that? Hope whoever has advice or advice. MfG

  • I’m itching my fingers, you too!

    Hello! Slowly I get on the R about spring feeling! I now really want to bring the CTR back to the front after the long, cold winter. At the tyre dealer are already my new Toyo summer shoes, in the garage the Hinterachs fall adjusters wait for your installation and the Carbon Ram Intake is also in the approach. A new radio comes in this year also and if the budget still allows comes under it. I WILL END LIKE DOWN!!! Will you feel the same way?

  • Diagnosis tool Key learning 450 Bj 2004

    Hello, someone might have a clue which diagnostic device (Amazon, Kaufland, etc.) is naturally able to learn from my 450 Bj keys. Is there something like that? Can this be one of the launch devices from 750 Euro where “Immo Keys” is advertised everywhere, but unfortunately only Merzedes and not Smart is supported? Delphi with laptop and additional hardware is actually too complex to work in. Would you like to just buy, connect, works Thanks for the tips Juergen

  • Smart 451 strange squeaking while driving slowly.Brem drum rear right significantly hotter

    Only after a month I notice that it is not the others, but my 451 year 2007 Smart.It squeaks somewhere(not always) while driving slower in the zb.1 course. Of course, I first thought about the brake drums in the back as the previous owner gave me this new at the sale.It just provoked the noise again and when I squeaked at 10km/h and pull the hand brake a few times then it slightly changes the noise. Just got out and fingers to the rims in the back. Left was not even lukewarm and right already very warm, the brake drum itself should be hot. Must be clear, or? because the engine is running the heat out somewhere right brake drum, which I don’t believe.What do you think?

  • Engine oil

    Aloha my Padowans. Got a little problemka with the oil there. I bought Mobil 1 5W 40 Special X for Extreme Performance *lol* One knows that. Doesn’t stand on it fully synthetically and can’t find anything exact in google either and not on the mobile side. In addition, there’s the following problem. The oils from the USA sometimes don’t have an API anymore because of the Hurricanes and other additives have been mixed in. I have to look again if it says surpasses or fits. Oil change is only in 3-4tkm, so some time. I just test all the good oils there, but I don’t know if it’s good lol.

  • Let the tires vulcanize after driving at 0.8 bar for a short time?

    Hello, Michelin Alpin A4 195/65 R15 91T with 7 mm profile (two winters). A few weeks ago the ESP spoke several times on almost dry road. It turned out that a tire had only 0.8 bar. I filled it up, after each about 2 – 3 weeks it was down again to about 1.5 bar. I removed it now and found in the water bath in the tread in a profile groove a nail (with turned off head) which I had missed before. After pulling the nail The tyre was empty within about 1 hour. After used A4 rarely individually and if yet, with only 4 – 5 mm profile are offered: worth possibly Vulcanizing? At the 0.8 bar the tyre was more bleak on the sides when looking closely, but it was by no means so that I would have driven on the rim. From the first occurrence of the ESP problems until filling up I drove a maximum of 60 km in city traffic and country road up to 80 km/h, with a maximum of 10 km at a time. Still tires have been washed through too much?
