  • Adjust the height of head restraints?

    Hi, I tried the search but did not find anything… How do you adjust the height of the headrests? In the manual you can only adjust the inclination, however, the height of the factory is set to maximum and cannot be changed…

  • Leakage current on the ECU – ZX636C

    Hello dear Kawa friends, have the problem on my 6er, which after a few days the battery is empty. Unfortunately came with the start aid with the plus pole to the frame what it has sparked something. It was clearly found in the workshop that the ECU pulls out about 0.2A when the ignition is off.The ECU is otherwise absolutely ok! The (renomated Kawa dealer) said the best would be a switch or a relay before the ECU fuse. I then wanted to do that myself. I have the problem that I do not know what kind of relay I take best and how reliable such a relay is. After all, the power supply of the ECU depends on it. In the workshop manual I have seen that there is an ECU relay already from factory, for what is it good, because the ECU obviously also has a connection to the battery without ignition. My questions would therefore be: 1. How reliable is a relay and would a switch be better after all? Do I have to with failures in the case of ground waves 2. What kind of relay is best suited (brand, model)? Would take the switching current off of the license plate. 3. For what is the standard ECU relay? Thank you!

  • Fabric seats in TT – pictures?

    Hello together, I just saw in the configurator that the TT is also available with fabric seats. If someone has a picture (if possible from the black ones) at that time. Unfortunately, the Audi side doesn’t give much… Even if the opinion “in the TT must rule leather “, it would be really interesting for me to see how it works with the dark fabric seats!

  • Exhaust valve 3.2

    again: Exhaust flap 3.2 we had already discussed this before, but unfortunately I don’t find the corresponding thread any more. I put out the flap control today. here in the forum it was said that the bass-heavy sound vanishes. I can’t confirm that. he is no longer quiet at the bottom, but grumbles at a low speed quite loudly, i.e. if one “rolls” through the city at 30, he bubbberts really nice in front of him. if one gives fire, the bass still something and so about from 3000 tours he roars up (which is also the case with flap). now for me the question arises again about the meaning of this flap… as I see it now is actually only in order to keep the noise nuisance at low speeds/speeds within limits or to comply with legal regulations, because as said nothing changes at the sound, but he just gets louder “downside”. or do you see the other way? please again your opinions about the topic… especially if someone has to consider about damage to the engine, more consumption or something like that, because I don’t know if the engine might need some kind of backlog or something. performance is the same as far as I can feel that in any case.

  • Electrical damage to the 9000 CS – what to do?

    Hello guys, I have a 9000 CS with electrical damage after the battery was charged incorrectly (yes, unfortunately, but I didn’t know that you can do it yet). The starter is probably through and nothing happens at the moment when you connect a battery. Since I have just had the coupling remade for 700 ticks, the transmission is just over and the engine is replaced some time ago, after the previous one has said goodbye than at 190 of the 5 gear tsc The car is in Hanover. Maybe someone would like to screw the part. I would probably also hand over the car. Lg to everyone, Hans

  • new “old” 9-3er 2.2 TID in the stable

    Now I have it for a week and a two questions.. 1. The car has a very clear starting weakness between 2800 and 3200 rpm. Is that normal? 2. If I want to switch the radio… how can I expand it? And I heard that you can’t just separate the CD changer. Does this apply even if it is connected to the same device again? Thank you for your help in advance.

  • Quite loud wind noise at Mondeo MK3 year 2001

    Hello, man, now I’m already posting for the second time… Madness! I’ve been driving my 2001 Mondeo highway several times lately and what’s really annoying to me are these wind noises on the side windows. Now I’ve been thinking if I’m supposed to build on them with such stupid plastic wind deflectors, but I’m not sure if they bring the desired success, namely a quieter driving noise. Has any of you already done that? What would that cost?

  • R230 sweats on the gearbox ? Buy Yes/No ?

    Hello, I inspected a R230 (SL500) yesterday before the purchase, but offered me the following insights (see photos) – I then got stuck on the gearbox, which was covered by the disguise. However, I could take a few photos. Car is BJ 2003 and has 80 TKM. Is this a sweating or is it already a licking ? What would cost me here the repair and what is the problem, how would the cost for the repair be for the friendly ? demand already a similar picture of his – for me the question arises whether I should buy the car and if so whether the seller must therefore reduce the purchase price !!

  • R 230 Key Less Go and Command APS VS IPhone 6+

    Hello, General: have my first SL R230 year 06/06 1st hand and only 61 ́Km all service at MB, picked up only 200 KM. Highway with gradients up to 160 kmh consumption 9.1 L/ 100 Km top. In the garage followed now 2 days car maintenance although it was clean. Now he shines the leather is like new everything to my satisfaction. . Command APS DVD: The IPhon 6+ I could unfortunately with the adapter B 6788000 couplings the phonebook entries are not taken over correctly. Do you have the same condition? With which mobile phone (brand) can I use everything the command gives? (Handy charging tray instead of Bluetooth) I would then buy a “Autohandy” and order a second Sim card. Or does an update on the command help? With which key combination can I determine the firmware version of the command? Key Les Go. I think the door handle driver side is def. If I want to open or close the car with Key Les Go it only goes from the passenger side. (Fig. closed handle goes up. small button push goes to only passenger side) With the driver side everything is dead. I have read nothing about it yet. Am I right and a visit at the friendly is imminent? The FB is OK. Thanks for the help
