  • MX 5 engine clacks when it is warm ?

    Hello, I bought a MX5 used with 180tkm. In the short test drive where I did at that time everything was ok. Now it’s so that when I drive about half an hour or so the engine starts to clap, as if there was too little oil in it or anything else. I have no explanation for this already googled, and only defective valves and bearing damage found. But if I had one of them, the condition would have to be permanent or not? Unfortunately I caught a model (according to the vehicle Ident-Nr) which is susceptible to bad valves. Currently I drive little with the car, I want to know first what this is before I possibly break more? Can I find out anything as a layman? What still strikes me, the tires all 4 drive off strongly on the inside, it is a coiled suspension inside, the rear tires also look almost as if they were not straight but slightly inclined to the outside.. Should I pump in more air? Can I adjust what? Another thing… There are tires on it that I don’t find in the vehicle license, but according to the seller everything would be registered. So it’s probably up to 225, but there are 215 on it. I still have 2 years TÜV but I don’t want to drive around with things that I may not be allowed to have.

  • Brake

    I have now renewed the brakes out of boredom at my nb back. Discs incl. receipts. Now I drove some in. But somehow my left brake caliper is stuck in the back. Have set the adjusting screw again so that the hand brake is loose. But after a few km the saddle starts to clamp again. Felge gets warm/hot and you smell it. What can be broken now?

  • Purchase advice MX 5 NB (FL) around 2000€

    Good day community, I’m new here and I’m currently looking for a Mazda MX5 NB for approx. 2000€. My budget as a student is narrowly limited. What do I have to pay attention to? As I’ve noticed, rust seems to be a problem around it. Is there any other motor technology besides the timing belt to consider? Does anyone have experiences with high running performance beyond the 150000km? Thank you for any help!

  • KIA Soul bought, but bad feeling…

    Hello together, we bought our KIA SOUL yesterday, now in hindsight we have a bad feeling. Please give us your feedback, we have a KIA SOUL BJ 2009 / first registration 12/2010 about 50 KM – day approval. He has 122 hp gasoline, metallic orange, 18″ rims, roof-rehling, Navi and the model is called Attract. What can such a car cost, or is the old scrap ? Please honest, greeting and thanks Richard

  • What could have happened?

    On the other hand, it’s about an X22XE engine that definitely has it behind us, we’re just interested in what could have happened to the machine. Looks like it’s like he sucked in something hard, sand, pebbles, etc. but the cylinder head looks pure, the valves are also without flaws. The owner of the car has remained in Sweden, a Opel workshop there has diagnosed a piston tipper, which we could confirm, otherwise the engine looks like it had z u little, the wrong or no oil in it any more, we just wonder about the impacts on the piston under the millimeter-thick black crust of all 4 pistons. Check out the photos, maybe you can think of something. Greetings Frankhttp://picasaweb.google.de/oldmanmatze/SINTRAX22xE02#

  • Search data from 3.0 24V with 204PS

    I’m about to google like a stupid one, but there’s somehow no decent table to the machine, I’m looking for things like stroke, drilling, engine identification letters, exact engine capacity etc. Thanks, Grüße Lon EDIT: Title changed to 24V, had missed me.

  • Doing Z18XE?

    I would like to tickle out a little more power from my Z18XE 1.8 with 90KW/ 122PS soon. There is a turbo conversion or a Dbilas suction tube with filter box, camshafts and electronics adaptation. The turbo conversion at Dbilas falls flat, because simply far too expensive. Who has already done tuning – experience with this engine? How much hp are in the turbo conversion? But the most important thing is also that the engine takes part for a long time. Do you remember the Dbilas tuning at all? What does everything have to be changed? Exhaust and brake are clear to me… What else? What would you do? Turbo or Dbilas?

  • Opel Antara 2.2 CDTI: “No third winner, rather a loser”

    Hello Antara friends, have you already read the new edition of the car picture (No. 21) of today. From page 32 there is a big comparison test between the Opel Antara 2.2 CDTI, the Mazda CX-7 2.2 MRZ-CD and the Mitshubishi Outlander 2.2 DI-D+ In short – the Antara becomes the last. Resume of the tester: “His greatest quality? The long guarantee. Otherwise the Opel disapproves: Neither spacious nor agile or comfortable and not even particularly cheap. The Korea Opel is not a third winner, rather a For example, the payload, which was rated, is 393 kg! The curb weight is according to Auto Bild at 1,952 kg, the overall weight is based on Opel at 2,505 kg. Gives me 553 kg payload! So he would have to get 2 points more and would be right on with the Mitshubishi! Will this make losers? Must study the test again in peace. Greeting Harald M.

  • Tip for young family ready: Toyota Verso (2010) or Mazda 5 (2011)?

    Hello, I think and hope that a driving ban for EURO5 diesels is not coming to Saxony so soon. And honestly, I would like to take advantage of the uncertainty to buy my car now. I sold my 2.0 DieselGolf very well, and I was very lucky there. Randfakten: I am fresher dad, deserve as a Wiss. Employees still pretty bad, but still wants to have a safe and spacious car. Budget: 900€. I now have my attention on the Verso u My idea: – under 90tkm from BJ 2010 – Euro 5 – new TÜV and fresh inspection – underbody check – fresh brakes I now have a Verso 2010er (https://suche.mobile.de/vehicles/details.html?id=246551634) for 8200€, and a Mazda 5 (https://suche.mobile.de/…/248818377.html?…) 2011 for 8200€. Now I know that MAZDA often has problems with rust, which is why I have the Unte I tend to go to Mazda, although I think TOYOTA is the better manufacturer. A 2011er would buy immediately, but they still cost more than 9600€. Do you have any advice? No, I’m not a connoisseur 😉 If I had a petroler in this price class with similar driving performance, I would buy it. But they just consume a lot more, and I drive 4 times a year abroad to my family. 25000km per year approx.

  • more sporty first car

    Hello, I’m 19 years old and looking for my first car. I planned a budget of 10000 euros. I can’t tell you how many kilometers a year exactly it will be. The car should be a small/compact car and more sporty. It would also be important that the entertainment and repair costs are not too expensive. So far, a Polo GTI and BMW 1er speak to me. But I have to admit that I have no idea about cars. What would you do? Then recommend me? lg
