  • Safety Citroen XM

    Is there a crash test of the Citroen XM, or a real accident experience? Is the car more secure or more uncertain? Is it safer than a Citroen Xantia (one of the worst results in the Euro-ncap)? Thanks for your answers mfg franz

  • Problems with Westfalia trailer coupling at Mazda 5 CW

    Hello, with my Mazda 5 CW more than 5 years ago a trailer coupling was installed by the previous owner, I bought the car like this. For a few weeks the following problem occurs: When braking it hums out of the control unit back, which is annoying permanently. Whether this works with trailer operation and all the lighting, I can’t say, since I don’t use a trailer and if, then once in ten years. It was easy. In the engine compartment next to the battery are various cables, there are also any terminal, everything is lying there loosely around, does this have to be connected to the battery plus and minus? Mazda has performed the installation dealer, all the documents I have there. Can someone help there? Maybe someone from Heilbronn comes and knows with it well and can check it? Thanks and many greetings.

  • Engine control lamp from 3000U//min

    Hello, yesterday I suddenly went to due engine warning. This flashed several times and lights up now. The curious thing is, no errors were found. This only happens if I have to drive mountains for example and due speed is over 3000 rpm, then comes to a very small jerk and you notice a clear power loss. Bzw. he drives already heavy before. What could it be if no errors are taken off already? Thank you very much.

  • Piston cleaning

    Hello dear MT-er! Since I had friction/piston-eater on my moped and didn’t know what to do with the old piston, I thought I was turning/milling a shot glass out of it. But in order to really use it as such, I want to remove the piston from engine oil first of all. Now my question: Is there a cheap way/a simple home remedy to free the piston from engine oil? And should I put a kind of paint on the piston after milling and turning it? Does the bare metal get in the mouth? Thank you in advance LG

  • Spark plug defective again, same cylinder

    Hello! What can be the general reason why a petrol engine (4-cylinder, MPI) has already broken the spark plug twice with the same cylinder? The last time it happened just under 15,000 km ago, now again. Photos from the last time are included. Current photos of this time I am enough. The candle then and today look very similar from the damage picture anyway. By the way, the three candles looked or look good. (P0300, P0304) and the engine was in the emergency run. What should you do now? Simply install new candles, delete errors and continue driving? Thank you for your answers and advice!

  • Sale of my used / problems

    Hello forum, I’m thinking about a short question: I sold my used car 4 days ago. (about 10 years old) The buyer has tried driving, looked at the car and made a purchase contract with me. All details have been held, handed over the papers etc… Now the buyer calls me and says that the clutch is no longer the best and that the car allegedly had an accident damage. I bought the car “accident-free” used, documents exist, would In my time, no accident happens either. Accordingly, the car is accident-free from my point of view. The buyer now threatens with a lawyer because of these points. What is ahead of me? What can happen to me, what do you think? Thank you for your help and quick answers.
