  • Black tail lights Escort MK5.Are they really entry-free?

    Hello I bought black tail lights for my Essi at Ebay. The seller assured me that the things are not registered. He has attached a TÜV-confirmation to me (a copy). This is issued to the company of Muschwitz GmbH (should be the manufacturer of the lights). In this certificate also stands that the lamp is permissible without which a re-examination according to §19Abs.3StVZO must be carried out if the following applies: an ECE or EC mark must be present. What do I now know if this certificate has been issued for these parts? Because it is quite possible that the certificate is not at all for these lights. Where do I recognize the certificate for my car? No vehicles are listed. I have no desire to get one if the race management ever whistled me out.

  • Escort hot running phase

    Hallihallo! Car: 96 Escort 1.6 16V (Who cares, I got almost all the problems with my timing belt [it was the bottles of spark plugs from the fFH inside], except: ) So I re-learned it (forced mase); I brought it up to operating temperature before, battery dropped off (70 min), idle (2~3 minutes), 1200 rpm (2 minutes), city, country road, highway; all in all 40 km; So now to my problem: if I leave it standing for longer time and then start it commutes at ~1200 rpm; only then it goes by itself for a few seconds to 1500 rpm; then everything is back to normal. Only the funny thing is that it doesn’t do it every time. Can it be that I’ve learned it wrong? Or that the steering device has a kick away? (has anyone got tips for real learning?) M.f.G.

  • Fits this Autoradaio in my MK7

    Hello, for most certainly a stupid question, but I am completely undefiled stuff car radio. Does this thing fit herehttp://www.clarion.com/…/en-de-product-pf_1170603795514.html with reasonable effort in my MK7 tournament, year 97? Have at the moment still the factory radio in it (name follows), which occupies the double shaft. But slowly gives up the mind. I assume I need an adapter for the shaft. I can take over the wiring for power, antenna and speakers, or do I need adapters, etc.? Thank you!

  • Your driving style

    It’s kind of right now… so your driving style and what you’re fueling and what kind of oil you have and when you’re changing it. I’ll fill up depending on the mood and mood, 95,98, 100… last time 98, because there’s no shell or aral nearby On average, I’ll always get to the 600km and more. Drive mostly country road and up to work I have 3 traffic lights. 25km drive it’s total. Oil at the moment Castrol 5w40. in a few km I wanted to try AMSoil, but there are problems because of customs regulations lol. So maybe Motul. I’ll turn on mes only 4 courses. In the cold condition 1-3, 4-5 or 6, depending on. In the warm condition 1-2, 4-5 or 6 depending on. Very rarely I pass all 6 courses. 40km in 4th, 50km in 5th, 60km in 6th. On the tank 3-4 times VTEC comes through 2-3 courses.

  • Sprinter 903 does not accept gas

    Hello everyone, my Sprinter 316er from 2002, 272000km does not take any more gas in the range 1500-2000 revolutions, I drive and he always does as if I had gone from the accelerator pedal, if I press the pedal further it comes again and runs cleanly at higher speeds, at the branch error memory was read out and found nothing. Also he has for 2 years a ticking noise from the engine control unit ( like relay switching ) and the driving light becomes light slightly bright and dark. The AGR valve, the brake light switch, rail pressure sensor and the gas pedal have already been changed, the LMM and the alternator are still from 2002, I ordered now both times and will change these. Does anyone else have a tip for me? Greetings

  • Audi 80, after autobahn goes out and no longer to

    Good evening. Need urgent help. Just with the Audi 80, type 89, 1.8 S, year 91 so a half hour highway ride. Speed lt Tacho 160, times to max. 180 When I drove down from the train, the engine went off and no longer started. I have now waited for such an hour. Starter turns normal, tank full, but it does nothing, no signs of jumping. Timing belt is not torn. Would like to mention that the car has always been driven only by my mother in short distance the last year. Have now pushed it now 30 km from home into a small road. What can this be ?? Someone a tip so that I can hopefully get it back to work tomorrow. Greeting amadeus1

  • Do spark plugs have to be iridium… or do they go normal?

    Hi, I play with the idea to screw new spark plugs into the smart. Lt.Smart are the ones in my Smart 451 only at 90000 km. Has the car run now 39000km Do I have to screw in the expensive Iridium candles? Or do the “normal” spark plugs work too? Up to corresponding FIN were only “normal” spark plugs prescribed…. after/from corresponding fin the interval and the candle type from Normal to Iridium was changed. Greetings

  • 452 Roadster: Switching castors window lifter

    My window no longer twitches, because the rope hoist has jumped off the roll and he did so because the intake of the Bowden train has broken. Since it is quite time-consuming to get to the place and smart can no longer supply spare parts, I had first attached a beer lid, which could actually replace the defective recording for some time (picture 01). Meanwhile I got a printed spare part. But now I fail to replace it. How do you solve the old roll, which is so unfavorably installed behind the welded side impact protection (pictures 02 and 03, from diagonally below)?

  • Kia Cee’d sw 2010

    Hello everyone, since I need a new car, I’m currently testing some combinations that could come into question. Today I tested the Kia Cee’d SW (2010) and I have to say the car is (mostly) top! I’ve done a 1.5 hour test drive with the 1.6 CRDi (115hp). The engine is top! I’m currently driving an old (16 year) Audi A6 C4 2.5TDi and must say that the one litre smaller engine of the KIA is much better! I must confess I was acuh of the quality of the KIA most positively surprised. Positive: – the 1.6l (115hp) engine is very pleasant to drive – economical (where the factory specifications are of course not realistic) – quality sentiment is good (at least in front) Negative (yes, there is also): – for an Asian manageable equipment (not a 4 el. window lifter series(Vision) – I’m VERY cheap window cranking back – small rear windows – plastic (not a new car) smell – but still I can’t find a few in front of these cars.
