The following thing happened: January 2023 the AGR valve was defective, was replaced cost point about 1000€ June 2023 broke down on the highway of the turbocharger and was replaced – because of spare parts lack I got the car back only in early October. Cost point 4000€ at the beginning of November then when I wanted to go off there was a loud bang in the engine room. Vehicle immediately drove up to the parking lot 1 meter since no warning lights went on. I noticed servo steering dead. Engine exhibited and looked. And saw the misere, the crankshaft belt disc was torn off at the vibration damper (rubber) . Since at the time I could not afford any more expensive repair (replacement parts were already at about 800€ since at the time only the originals of Ford were available. Car was then standing still 3 months. Then it was repaired and turned up now according to the workshop. Before the repair was to bring it to the lifting stage was not short and had not turned up the lift and then had to bring it back to normal.

  • Questions to CLer

    Yesterday I was with the friendly one and after a test drive with the CLS 500 I got a second test drive in the CL 600. I would hardly have thought that in between there would be worlds again. The CL is already doing more than the CLS. Since I need only 2 doors for my new business car anyway, I came to the consideration to include the CL in my considerations. Now the questions to the CL owners among you: 1. What prompted you to make the decision in favour of the CL? 2. How much worries, in terms of defects has he already given you and was the solution satisfactory? 3. What motorization do you recommend to me?

  • Mini Cooper R50 EZ02/2004 Errors P0302 and P2270

    Hello together, I’m new here and hope someone can help me. The following problem, I got a used Mini Cooper R50, EZ 02/2004 on the weekend. Since yesterday unfortunately the problem, which starts already after a short time the ASC light and a short moment later the engine control light. To this end, it throttles down immediately and I can hardly accelerate. In addition, it jerks during the ride, like a tractor or so. Also the idle run is very restless. I know this error probably also existed before the purchase. Therefore, the spark plugs, the ignition cables and the ignition coil were renewed. It probably went a few days well but now again the same error. I had it read out yesterday directly in a workshop. It only meant that this error is frequent and often the cause difficult to find. In the worst case the head seal should be broken. I was then in another workshop and the thought of head seal it can not be, then there are other error messages. I should have other candles and a different ignition coil build up. In the worst case, I don’t know very much about it and I don’t have a lot of trouble.

  • Kaufberatung Mini R56 for the woman

    Hello dear mini-friends, I’m actually from the BMW warehouse, but now I’m looking for a mini for my wife. She really wants a little city flicker and nothing else 😉 He shouldn’t be too lame, he has to have ESP and automatic and can cost 6-7k. Sweetspot would be the Cooper S R56, but it gets tight with the coal. So, more like the Cooper R56 with 120hp. When was ESP series in the R56? Can you buy something like that?https://suche.mobile.de/…/details.html?…You don’t hear so much good about the engines now (control chain/spanner). Is this really so acute and there are models that are less affected? Is a Cooper S R53 (170hp) more durable? Are there any further tips on what I should pay attention to? Thank you, Andi

  • Mini Cooper S Consumption

    Hello, at the moment I drive my Mini Cooper D, 111 HP, with 7,2ltr. Now I am thinking of buying the Cooper S. I heard the two should be almost the same from consumption. Can someone from experience tell me how much the Cooper S consumes? My mini dealer said he would also drive one and has a consumption of 6-7ltr. Can hardly believe that. I mostly drive city and short distances.

  • Engine goes off, runs round when it is warm, additionally high fuel consumption

    Hello dear community I have a problem with my 230ce. My 230ce runs great when it’s cold, but when it’s warm the worst it’s in city traffic, he starts shaking and sawing himself at the traffic lights until he goes out. If he stays on it sounds as good as it goes (automatics) as if he has misigned. As soon as I’m back in the running traffic he runs well until the next stop. In addition, I come with a full tank only 350 km makes about 18 liters on 100 km. I don’t know so slowly any more since it runs until it’s warm so great without problems. Have already installed new ignition cables and a new distributor with finger but without improvement. I have already exchanged some underpressure hose connections. Hope you can help me

  • Water flows at the C123

    Hello together, with thorough washing of my 230ce a few days ago I noticed that the seal of the right rear light is no longer 100% dense. New seal is ordered, will be picked up and installed on Monday. Apart from that everything is unfortunately dense (backpane seal has been made recently). However, so that this remains so, I would like to check once all the water drains present at the C123 for possible constipations. The water seems to flow from the sliding roof forward into the A-pillar and then comes out between the fender and door, to the rear it flows out below the rear side windows. Then there is a “gumminase” at the bottom of the threshold. Everything in the area of the hood hinge pockets is also free. Where are there still procedures? What if, for example, water enters through the disc seals of the rear side windows (100% densely there are not undeings) – where does the water flow off? Thank you and all of you a beautiful Sunday!

  • W123 or w124 as a everyday vehicle?

    Good evening, I have some questions about the Mercedes w123 and w124: 1. Are these models recommended as everyday vehicles? 2. How strict are the guidelines to get an H-mark? Would it be allowed, for example, to replace worn leather seats of the one model with identical seats with fabric cover? Should only colours be used when repainting, in which the car was delivered ex factory? Would retrofitting a parking aid be allowed? 3. Are these models relatively robust and maintenance-friendly, so that one can carry out simple maintenance work itself? 4. How high are the monthly insurance contributions for vehicles with H-marks? The insurance contributions for these old models seem to be very low anyway:http://www.autokostencheck.de/…/230-ce-123-c_14184.html
