  • HUK Coburg does not take into account public service !

    Hello together, I have been working in the public service (energy supply) since 01.07.2013. My car and motorcycle are both insured with the HUK. Now I have sent the certificate (public service) of my employer to the HUK where I demand a recalculation and correction of my insurance contributions from 01.07.2013. Below the answer of the HUK: Thank you for the explanation. We can document a contract with the HUK from 01.07.2013. Unfortunately, the conversion of your contract to the latest tariff does not result in any savings for you as a whole. We therefore recommend you to continue your contract unchanged. In the event of a future change of tariff your activity will be taken into account in the open service. What should I think about it? My insurance man told me that 20% savings are included when you are employed in the open service. Thank you and greetings

  • Front tyres inside run off + Drowning rear tyres at about 50 km/h

    Hello, I changed to new Nokian Weatherproof tires after just under 100,000km with a set of Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons before last winter. Now I have after only about 4000km 2 problems. 1: Are my front tyres inside strongly driven off and 2: Are the rear tyres between 45-55Kmh very loud. Can you help me what the causes can be and whether I can use the tires so further? Thanks and greetings Stegii

  • 245/35 on 9×18″ with 20 distances in the back???

    N ́Evening, I was at the tyre dealer today to ask carefully if they are confident to pull a tire on my white lacquered rim without making any mistakes. He looked at the test report and twisted the eyes when I said that I wanted to drive around 225/40. To the info: it is OZ Supertourismos, front in 8×18 and rear in 9×18″. According to the report you can only drive mixed tyres, e.g. 225/40 front and 245/35 rear. He said that I might s This is because the rims are not intended for a TT, but for A4, A6, A8, Passat etc., so they have a 112 LK. I am not really worried about this and refer to the load capacities. The 8x18s for a TT can have 550 KG/Rad and mine can have 690 KG/Rad. The only thing that irritates me is that the rims for the TT in 8×18″ have a roll-off circumference of 1975 mm, and those for the A4 etc. 2100. If both are equipped as 8×18 with 225/40, then Can’t the roll-off circumference be different, or am I totally plemplem???? Just like that: at the front it will fit with 8×18 with 225/40 and ET 35 plus 20 adapter plates, but what about the rear? 245/35 to 9×18 with ET35 and 20 adapter plates? Could get tight, right? 5 mm you could still get out by changing on 15 adapter plates from SCC. But if that’s the stone of the wise? I’m grateful for any helpful answer. Wouldn’t you like to get an expensive 245 pelle n buy then to see that it does not fit greeting Markus

  • FSE BLOOTOOTH Your experiences

    Hi guys, I just got my Samsung D500 and now it’s time for Blootooth FSE. Has any of you had any experience with the Audi FSE (micro and speaker Bose) with a retrofit to keep Blootooth -> in Japanese: I want to keep the microphone from the original FSE, where Samsung probably has problems with the impedance. Has one of you retrofitted Bluetooth at his Tel?? Eazy E.

  • Water pipe V8 Eigencreation

    Hello, for some time now I have also been affected by the water pipe problem. My carriage has now more than 300K on the hump. There is the possibility, i.e. the danger, that the previous owner has already installed a telescope pipe. Now, since I do not see it, for a pipe, which disappears under the suction bridge, and only because it shines and co. 100 Euro to pay the Americans, and 300 Euro for a pipe from the east, I created the pipe myself. I am also I am sure that my creation is safer than a pipe, which is fitted with thread on both sides. In addition, in contrast to the addressed pipes, I have not rejuvenated / reduced the inner diameter, but extended it in the middle range. (Alu socket approx. 240 mm) Ø 40mm inner diameter and 36 mm, wall thickness 2 mm. Since the original tube has a Ø 35 mm, and the socket has an inner diameter of 36 mm, and 1 mm unfortunately are not little in this case, I have on my tube, a So the tube sits in the sleeve with very little play, and on the one hand there will also be better hold for the 2k glue. Finally, I will cover the one side, the old cooling hose for safety. With the hose it will become really tight under the cover, but will go. On the front side, where the origin of the evil lies, I will be able to put the seal, also liquid-proof. I will start the operation next week. I intend to do the procedure without expanding the water pump. Until then, I am very grateful for any tips and co. Perhaps one or the other has a better idea or maybe “criticism” regarding my approach. I am also grateful for all the instructions that have been published in the Net so far. Greeting John

  • A5 2.0 TDI or A6 2.0 TDI ?

    Hello guys, I wanted to ask you what would be the smarter alternative from your point of view, namely the A5 Sportback or the A6 as a limo? Should not be much different in maintenance. In terms of equipment I insist on Xenon,Leather,MMI+ and manual transmissions. My driving profile consists of 2200km drive to work (50%Overland/50% highway) and about 1300KM private rides (50%City / 50%Overland) all month of course. So we come to about 3500KM a month, these I currently spin in a small n Seat Ibiza down and get tired of it, especially since it is a gasoline engine and swallows far too much for a 1.4, about 7.5 liters the little one needs. I decided for a 2.0 TDI engine because I want to keep the maintenance costs as low as possible. My budget is about 20,000€ ! I thank you in advance for your answers! Lg Thomas

  • Police with Camcorder??

    Hey. When I am at work today, the police stood at the exit of the village in a driveway. 2 people with a camcorder, fixed on a tripod. It was such a camcorder, which you have at home, to film on vacation, on weddings ect. What do they do with it? With that you can certainly not measure speed? What else was there not, I looked with the eyes the immediate surroundings. They were not even 50m away from the entrance sign. And normally they are standing nevertheless on the side, where the cars drive out into the place? They were standing out, but they “filmed” the cars driving in… Does anyone have an explanation for that? They do funny things at the moment anyway…overtake 2 cars in the city!!! (so the cops drive too fast), look me in the car, joke in front of me, blink at the next intersection and turn around again…

  • Audi 80 B3 1.9 liter 116 hp Euro 2 ?

    Good evening, I could get an Audi 80 B3 1.9litre 116 hp with a mileage of 150000km for 500 €. Only the only flaws are the 2 cathedral bearings and a wheel bearing. Have I already seen them at ebay you get there almost for free 😉 . So what bothers me is that the Euro 1 has. Now my question can be changed to Euro 2 somehow ? The current owner means no because this is a injector and not a carburettor. Please help me and already thank you in advance ! !!

  • Affordable Navi for the motorcycle ?

    I’ve been working through the WWW for a few weeks looking for a good but affordable navigation system for the motorcycle. Before, Autonavis and mobile phones are not suitable for me, because not waterproof, no route planning on the PC possible and poorly readable screen in good weather. My price frame is ~260€.Tours should be planable on the PC,cards should be up-to-date later,the mount should be stable and the navigation should be loaded via the motorcycle & self-service So far: 1.Garmin Zumo 220. Would vll be the right device for me, but unfortunately ~350€,which means quite expensive.2.TomTom Urban Rider ,about 250€ . Comes on the market only in the next few days,there is too little information about it.The battery should hold up to 8h,but the Navi does not seem to be chargeable over the motorcycle.Very bad ,so that also out for me.3.also niegelnagelneu NavGear Tourmate mx-350 ,TopVersion for 200 €.http://www.pearl.de/a-PX4594-5482.shtml . Has someone experience with the part and may also recommend it ?4.Then there is the Becker Traffic Assist 100 Crocodile for 150€. Tour planning does not seem to be possible. More devices I did not find… What do you think about NavGear ? but rather save and buy the Garmin ?
