  • Fuel preheating at Outlander

    Hello, I have been having the same problem with my vehicle for 3 days. It starts, drives a few hundred meters and goes out. You let the service come, they tow off and let the outlander thaw in the workshop, change the fuel filter and send me back with the advice I should have a fuel pre-heating installed for a good 350 €. I don’t think that’s really tingling, if I should spend 350 €, only that my car then also at 10-15 Is this not more of a causality or guarantee matter? I was sold the vehicle not only as a “sweather- summer car”. I had previously driven VW, which also went at – 20 degrees. It would be very nice if someone had some useful information on this topic for me. MfG Sebastian

  • Pajero advance 2.8 gs BJ.1996 EXTREM DRINGENT ASSISTANCE!!!!

    Hello, Does the Pajero 2.8 BJ 1996 have a pre-glow control unit? If so, where is it installed? If I start the car in the early morning, then it smokes and shakes. I read here that it is probably the injection pump. have had the ESP repaired, installed new glow plugs, new relay (which next to fuse box) the problem still exists. I have also installed a pre-feed pump, did not help anything. (Hardi from Kraftst…pumpen.com) Transparent cables monti Is it possible to see if there is air in the system, nothing! IMPORTANT!! The annealing succeeds manually via a switch (the previous owner reads) Can the problem lie in it? When I press the button KLACKT the relay then I remain 5 sec on the switch and it starts immediately. (also at -15 degrees) . I let go of the switch KLACKT it again and stops to glows. (Pre-annealing only when activated, so after-annealing wouldn’t be technically possible) Maybe it should also after-anneale? s problem in it? When he quit smoking and shaking after about 15 sec he runs quite normal. Ask for your help, I’ll end up with my ABC.

  • Power loss after engine update ASX

    Hello, since last December I drive an ASX with 150hp diesel. I was very pleased with the driving performance until about 2 months ago during the 15,000km inspection of Mitsubishi a motor update was started. Without information on my part, I was only surprised that the passage of the car was significantly worse after the inspection. The turbo uses much later and much more timidly, I have to switch back from the upper gears on slight gradients, but I have to This is now no longer 150Ps, it feels absolutely tangled up. I then approached my workshop, which then informed me about the updated version. I wrote a letter to the workshop, which was forwarded to Mitsubishi. The day before yesterday I took a test ride on this topic together with the master responsible, he confirmed my impression. My question now here in the round: Am I the only one to do this like this? or has anyone else had similar experiences? The update is provided by Mitsubishi and has to be carried out in order not to lose the type-approval, they told me. Only if the performance thus deteriorates, must one accept it?

  • iPod problems ASX

    Now that I have the ASX for about 3 weeks and am completely satisfied, one thing that makes me think. If I like iPod Classic (also iPod Touch, also other USB cables) connect to the USB interface of the ASX and wait for the music, there is nothing at all, but there is always only iPod LOAD in the display !!! To limit it, I have to say that it has worked like it happened before, but only parts of the iPod have been read after a long waiting time. e already improves and simplifies the folder structure, no improvement in sight, the ASX probably has a mess at the interface of the USB ????? Does someone have the same problems or can offer a solution ? I would be glad about it. Otherwise: ASX is a horny car (of course it is always Nörgler egn, who buy a car according to smell or such a shit, I buy it according to usability), software is played Friday, that this jerking stops at 1600 upm (150 HP Diesel), otherwise nix too Goes hard on the highway for the first time next week, let’s see…

  • Streetka poltert front right

    Hello, unfortunately my friend’s StreetKa has been making me sleepless nights for some time. If you drive with him across flat streets, there are no problems. However, as soon as you drive through a pothole, from a curb or over a floor wave, you hear a loud sound from the front right, which is clearly perceptible both from the inside and from the outside. It sounds as if metal would hit metal. As a passenger you can hear the “beat” with particularly strong appearance a The whole problem appeared for the first time after I had new handlebar bushings pressed in at Ford last year (unfortunately, I didn’t have any press at home), since one had been knocked out and I wanted to make all four new for safety. Furthermore, I have done the following new things over time: – Support joints – Domlager – Ball bearings I didn’t change track rod heads, however, I think that the guys from the workshop would have noticed broken track rod heads when setting the track. The poltern came from a defective cathedral bearing, which I can unfortunately rule out in the meantime. Scattered wheel bearings are also noticeable differently. I don’t know anymore, because practically everything is new. any of you have ever experienced such a thing or an idea that causes the crap?

  • MondaysC-MAX

    Hello – I bought a 4 month old C-Max 1.8 TDCI Trend Ford factory car with everything available – without Xenon. So far there have been problems again and again: 1. KEY-Free Function disturbed – our 2 year old son was locked up for an hour and had to be pulled out by the Ford employee. 2. I can’t drive immobilizer (error: theft attack) 3. Car just goes off when driving – but can start immediately. 4. 6.Sliding canopy setting mode produces a gun and cracking without end – has already consumed a lot of spray grease – no effect. 7. Bluetooth and voice control defe kt – could not fix the dealer either. – (fixed by me by pulling the backup of the audio system) – is just stupid if you have no chance to influence the illumination of the Navidisplay besides the voice control – must drive in the morning in the dark – and when the radio is on, you have a glare effect that causes you to see nothing outside. My dealer has now again with the page-long error code list put a request to the Ford technology – that lasts and lasts Does anyone have similar experiences?? Is there a good dealer in the area around Cologne, to which I do not have to explain myself what he has to examine? Greetings Nouvie

  • Ford Ka RU8: Request for help with rear bumper construction

    Hello, unfortunately on Friday night when turning backwards did not see a bollard and now an ugly long crack in the plastic cover of the bumper (scaffolder) back. Car is a Ford Ka RU8 (built in 2010). A call to the Ford dealer brought disillusionment: for the easy exchange of the plastic part they want 800 euros. As a student for me at all not financially. (especially since the new price was just 6800 euros.) Now I would like to try to get it to r I thought about expanding the bumper, bulging it from the inside and then welding the crack thermally with a soldering iron. I’ve never done anything like this before, but I can’t break it much more. So I can try it just as well. Could someone explain how to get the bumper off? Thank you for your help!

  • Rear windscreen wiper defective

    Hello all, my girlfriend has bought this WE. Year of construction 12.96, 62,000 km for 2000 Euronen. Fair price or? Does not even have servo or other extras, but now good. To my questions: 1. The rear windscreen wiper funztz not. There is nothing at all. Windscreen wiper in front, washing system in front / back goes perfectly. I looked in the log, only unfortunately I find no fuse for the rear windscreen wiper!? Does anyone have an idea? 2. Since the car does not have registrations in the checkbook, I wanted to give it to ATU for a large inspection. Does this cost 60 euros (or rather directly to Ford? Is certainly much more expensive…) Do you have certain areas to pay special attention to (ventile etc…) I am grateful about every tip regarding a cas! Thank you for your help Greeting Stefano

  • Cigarette lighters don’t work the way they should

    Greetings, I have been driving a 2007 Ford Ka (RBT) since yesterday. The cigarette lighter is running, small compressor for air too. But as soon as I want to recharge my phone, it doesn’t work. I tried various USB adpaters and plugs, unfortunately without any function. What can I do there? Does too little power come on? Where can I check what?
