  • Always forget to turn off the light

    Good evening, I didn’t really find anything in the forum. That’s why I have an extra request. I’m the owner of a Smart 451 for a week. Unfortunately I don’t have a light sensor and since I’m spoiled by my other vehicles I always forget to turn off the light. 1. Question: Don’t it really have to beep when I leave the light on and open the door? The interior lighting doesn’t work when I open the door, it can just be the door contact switch defective. If so, where can I find it? 2.Question: Is it not possible to activate this Scandinavian light control somehow? Even without going to SC? Thank you for your help. Greetings

  • Electricity/Battery Problems

    Hello together, I have installed a 100 AH battery in the caravan. Age of the battery 2years. The previous one was defective. Got the wowa on Saturday from the dry winter storage and connected to the electricity. Today filled up water to flush through thereby determined that the water pump has little power. Also the blower of the heater is weak. Battery measured 13.7 A. With 220 V goes pump and blower as it should. After 2 hrs. battery measured 12.3 V. I suspect the original La I have a charger of CTEK similar to this one here https://www.ctek.com/en/battery charger 12v-24v/mxs-5-0-eu. I would also disconnect the original and connect the CETK. What do you think? If you want to get a battery charger from CTEK, you can get a battery charger from the charger.

  • Tyre age and 100 km/h approval

    Hello, for the 100 km/h approval the tyres must not be older than 6 years, the DOT number is decisive. But what does that mean in concrete terms? Can I drive from the day when the tire becomes 6 years old only 80 km/h, or does this apply from the day when the tire becomes 7 years old? Example from practice, my tyres are Bj. KW25 2015. So 6 years and 5 weeks. May I drive still 100 km/h, or not? And before sayings come again by reason of tires you do not save etc., the holiday is over, this year there is nothing left and the ride to the parking place is inside, and next year there will be new tires on it anyway. Unfortunately, you will find the same wording everywhere without going into the details. Or I’m just too stupid to understand it.

  • Look at this…

    such a cheekyness … as old farmer whiteness was considered earlier when the fuse in the end socket only has a 20 AMP dan can the power the RMS out does not come out much because the NET part can not pull much current … but now there is at ebay the first socket which does not fit in this genus and nevertheless should be mist or ??? But bordered not on if they write 4 X 220 Watt RMS ???? That has the nevertheless never in life … despite the 100 amp fuse ;-)))kuck you h he

  • Honda Civic FN2 track plates

    Hello guys, I ordered for my FN2 track distributions (15mm per grad, front and rear). I received them yesterday and wanted to mount them full of anticipation. However, my rims do not fit on the track plates. Are original Honda rims. Unfortunately, don’t know the manufacturer and type, as this is unfortunately not in the rim. Image like the rims look, is also in the attachment. Vllt knows the rims and could clarify me there. But so far no other Civic has seen this year of construction with these rims. The pockets of the rims are also sufficient from the depth. However, the nuts of the broadening hit the outer edges of the pockets and thus the rim is not fully lying on the track plate. I have tightened the wheel nuts extra a little harder to make a mark on the rim to see exactly where it does not fit. If I put the rim loosely I have z In the appendix are pictures, so that one understands better what I mean. On picture 2 you can see the masks that I mean. At this point the nuts of the widening hit on my rims. Have only tried it on one and after I have seen it, the others did not try at all. The widenings are Eibach Pro Spacer. Do you want an idea what to do there? Or do I need other widenings? Thank you already for your time and time. d Effort. Love greetings Sephirot

  • Connection Victron charger to hard-to-reach batteries

    Hello together, I have installed two in series switched gel batteries in my camper. I would like to connect to these batteries now a Victron charger. Unfortunately the batteries are installed so that I get hard to the connections of the battery. The easiest way would be to attach the charger to the current input of the inverter. My question: Would this theoretically be possible? The cables, which go from the battery to the inverter, are very thick and the screw connection ngen at the shaft input of the inverter allow it without any problems to clamp the cables of the charger. Thus the charger would have connection to the battery, the existing wiring from the battery to the inverter then serves so to speak only as an extension. So I do not have to directly to the connections of the battery. Check out my diagram for this. Thank you for your input. LG

  • Support load Exceeding, tolerances ?

    Hello, after the last contributions on the topic between 3 and 6 years ago, here now my new question: Is there somewhere a rule/legal regulation, by how much the support load (100 kg, Tiguan) can be exceeded ? What happens if one is ‘traced’ with an increased support load ? Are there limits prescribed by VW ? (I also asked the question in the Tiguan forum ) It is about the construction of a bicycle carrier on the WoWa drawbar with an Al-Ko ball and on it 2 wheels Without wheels, I can get to the 100kg, with the wheels I lie over it. Thanks Alfons
