Dear Agila drivers and Opel experts, does anyone have experience with a sporadically occurring total braking failure at the Agila B? I try to follow a hint of a driver from the family circle, it would rarely result in total braking failure, i.e. brake pedal on one time through to the floor plate and no braking effect, by pumping on the brake pedal then everything is ok again.The only thing I could find regularly is that the back pressure on the brake pedal after starting minim I first had the sound so-called TÜV with brake dynamometer done without any problems. Of course you can now say like the workshop “driver spins”, but maybe an expert among you also knows whether there are any occasionally yielding valves / flaps or the like in the brake system, because that sounds like that. Do you tap on brake power amplifier or on the brake power distributor? The car, by the way, does not lose any brake fluid. The problem arises in the cold November city traffic in the lowlands and not in connection with “hot brakes” or mountain rides, so a steam formation in the system can be excluded. The car is 7 years old and has only real 40 Tkm on the Tacho, switchcar with diesel engine [yes, I know, is uneconomical with the driving performance 😉 ] Too bad that I am not a US citizen. I could change from GM/Opel probably claim a million compensation. Here in D only the troubleshooting remains without help from Rüsselsheim. But maybe with yours? Thank you!

it will be time for a motor wash
Hello, the headline says everything already. On the weekend should be nice weather again. had to do a proper motor wash before there. what do I have to pay attention to there? I mean, every SB washer has this program but really help you don’t get there. Do I have to cover special parts? and what can I expect from such a motor wash? I’ve always been amazed at 10 years old cars standing at the car dealer and the motor looks so fresh. engine room.

too little oil – engine damage
Hello, I really messed up and too rarely (actually never) checked the oil level at my Fiesta 1.3 Bj 1996. I then drove about 500 m with lots of noise and hardly any oil. The ADAC man then got him to run again, but said that the engine had got a crack. The Fiesta pulls quite well, but at a certain speed makes such a beating noise. If you then switch, it is OK again. Can you drive with such a damage for a while (and what is a For a while?) or does the engine fly around your ears at some point?

T1 611, 409D, gear shift, screw, or clamp scrapes
Hello guys, I would like to know how I open the rubber cover, which reaches from the switchbar/stick down to the cabin floor, without breaking it. Reason is that underneath is a screw or clamp loose. At full throttle, which is already quite often with my 409 RV this loose part vibrates and makes a really annoying sound. Can someone help me there, Gruss, Michael

Purchase advice Fiat 500
Hello everyone, I just signed up here because I need some support when choosing a Fiat 500. This should be for my mother and I’m doing a little bit hard. It should be a leg pin & switch that is not older than 2015. Special equipment should have panoramic roof, Bluetooth/MP3, navigation system and climate control. And I have a few questions: 1. Is the Fiat 500 switch the better choice? I read that the automatic is not correct, j But better than that of the Smart. The dealer advised me to the switch. 2. What is the Fiat navigation system like? Is it worth the extra charge or is a mobile navigator enough? 3. I assume, as with every car, that the air conditioning system is much more pleasant than the air conditioning system and you should definitely have it? 4. As I have noticed, there is no seat heating from the plant, can you retrofit it cost-effectively? If I have something else in equipment or especially on something a Thank you very much for your help.

500S or lounge?
Hello to each other… My loyal Punto is supposed to give way to a 500 convertible next spring. Actually it was clear that it should be a black one with red top in the lounge version. Then came the facelift with these grotesque ugly squared seats and I was baffled But then… The 500S. Clearly more beautiful fabric seats in a sporty look and also otherwise he can quite be seen. Unfortunately no red top. Does not power anything, grey metallic with black roof go to the emergency. Then have I’m thinking, what would be the alternative to the caro seats in the lounge? Leather. The Poltrona woman is supposed to be so good, despite the lack of seat heating in winter not as cold as many others. But it is everywhere there that it is leather with leather replica. So, quasi partial leather? In what ratio is that to each other? Are the 1000 euros justified upwards if you don’t even get full leather for it? What scares me a little bit at the 500S with seats in black and white is the White insert in the door, whether it doesn’t get muddy quite quickly. There would be everything black in the lounge with leather (except for this holm above). The bad thing is, I like the emergency solution grey metallic with black cover meanwhile increasingly good although it was as said only an emergency solution… And now I can’t decide somehow… Lounge in black-red with leather or the S in gray-black with fabric seats. What would you like better? Need a few opinions, otherwise I will come Not at all forward

Vibrations at 55 and 110 kmh
Hello dear community, I bought a Mazda mx5 na year 91 a while ago. However, I have a relatively annoying problem now. And that’s when the vehicle vibrates at approx. 55 kmh and 110 kmh. It has to be an imbalance or? Could it be the tires, which according to the previous owner are actually balanced? I never had anything to do with unbalanced tires, so I don’t know how that would feel either. What do you think? Are it pretty sure that he tires or do you have any other ideas, what it could be Think already in advance

NB FL: Air conditioning, but no switch in the cockpit???
Moinsen, probably a stupid question, but ….. My recently acquired NB FL Bj. 2002 is in the workshop for the 90,000 inspection. This just called me and told me that the climate was completely empty and whether they should refill it. Then I said: “The car has no climate!” The laughter in the workshop was clearly heard, because of course the car would have a climate, they were just in front of it. I pointed out that it would have been sold to me a) without climate. nd b) there would be no switch in the cockpit for the climate. Anyway, they could fill the “climate” from me. I was tensed. 1 hour later a call from the workshop would be very strange, because the car would actually not have a switch for the climate (what) although the complete “hardware” would be installed incl. cable channels. However, since they could not test the climate without a switch, they now let everything off again (of course without calculating it). Question: What reason can there be that the vehicle has a climate including all the attachments, but does not have a corresponding switch in the vehicle. Could it be a later installed that is switched somewhere else? Or in general, does someone know a similar case? Thank you very much!
