Hello, there’s some moisture in my headlight. That’s why I put a few silica gel bags in the back. Now I wonder, do I have to take them out before I turn on the light because otherwise they will flake off or won’t it get so hot in there? It’s a BMW E85 Built 2005. I just put two on the floor now, so they don’t have any contact with the reflector. Thank you for your assessment!

Servus together, my battery in my Focus MK3.5 has lt. Tester (tested with a Topdon BT100) now after a good 3 years only 41% of their capacity. (Drive usually 2x 35km per day work path + various private partly also significantly longer distances). Start stop of course always switched off, in between with Ctek MXS 5.0 recharged again and again to do the battery what good – yet it probably doesn’t last too long if you can believe the tester But I wouldn’t be surprised. The battery is a Varta EFB 75AH battery – the previous Ford battery behind the probably also Varta has kept also just under 4 years to total failure. So would like to buy me no more Varta – Exide should be quite good. However, would like to ask some questions which brands you can recommend? Suitable for me is an EFB battery with the size 315x175x175mm.

Hello dear members of Motortalk, I am writing my technical work on the cleaning of intake manifolds/intake bridges, which tend to be coked with gasoline direct injections. And now to my question: do you know a particular model or engine in which this problem occurs more frequently? Please look forward to your answers and experiences. Thank you for your help! Greetings Basti

Hello together, shortly after the routine inspection after 5 years, the oil pump gives up and causes a total damage to the engine. Do I have to bear the full cost?

Hello together. I need a new battery charger. It is recommended again and again CTEK. I have an 80 AH car battery and am not the most patient about the charging time. At the same time I also look a bit at the money. The CTEK 5.0 has as far as I know only 5 Ah. Isn’t that a little bit little for an 80 Ah battery? CTEK 7.0 AND CTEK 10.0 are almost twice as expensive. What would be the best charger for me? I also have a scooter and a motorcycle with 12Ah or 14 Ah batteries. It wouldn’t be bad if I could charge the motorcycle batteries with the car charger.

Dear community, today I have read on Internet websites about automatics and manual transmissions, where the manufacturers have been trying to produce and market more automatics than manual transmissions, because of which the demand for automatics is already felt today and is also relatively higher than for switchcars. I know, of course, that it is a long topic and that you can write about it for a long time, but nevertheless I wanted to ask you what you love to drive and why ? Some internet sites don’t doubt that the efficiency of the manual transmissions is higher and that the consumption is a bit milder than for automatic transmissions. I’ve also heard that the manual transmission has much more stable and longer lifespan than the automatic transmission. But I wanted to ask you what you think of this topic. I’d be happy if you shared your experiences with me and what you think about it. I wish you a nice evening and thank you very much for the time being. Dear greetings from Berlin

Hello together I live in a rather mountainous area where the roads are not only flat. I notice that the new car models are being translated longer and longer. Is that just my feeling, or is that in general? What advantages would that have? Are there EU guidelines for this? What disadvantages do you see? I see only the disadvantage that my clutch blesses the time faster. I feel that the difference between 3 and 4 gears is not too big. (They should continue to auseina) In my opinion, the idle speed of the engine should result in a speed of approx. 5km/h in the first gear. In the meantime, this is mostly at 12-14 km/h (my observation). This is especially stupid when starting up, as the clutch in this area is extremely obscured. If it still goes up, the clutch has to be rather sanded up to 1400 revolutions => up to 20 km/h. I find it really bad if a lot of weight is charged or even a trailer is attached. Thank you for your answers Porenasphalt

Hello MOTOR-TALKer! In the title is actually my problem as well as explained, if there would not be a catch. 2 weeks ago I charged with the car USB adapter of Wicked Chili without key in the ignition lock my Samsung battery pack and my Samsung S5 Mini without any problems. Also before everything ran without incidents. Now last Wednesday I had very little battery and had urgently to enter the city. Mobile phone connected to the original Samsung charging cable and nothing happened. Mehrma When I was at home, I pulled off the connected charging cable and put it into my Samsung charging power supply. The S5 Mini was immediately charged. So it’s not because of the two parts. Now the question arises for me, what is the problem then? Is the adapter defective? What about the fuse? Or was it due to the general daily heat? What is not particularly imaginable. h I had a problem again. I also wanted to charge the mobile phone at a portable car hi-fi system (Boombox), which installed a car USB adapter and was supplied directly by the car battery, and also at this time nothing happened. I can’t explain it so properly. Would be very grateful about helpful answers. Greeting Andreas

Hello together! My later built-in Webasto heater makes strange noises when starting or driving up in a certain speed range. Is quite noisy early in the morning, which I don’t want to expect to the neighbor. Does anyone know that ? Have attached a video where you can hear it (not the locking of the car). What could be the reason for it? Video Thank you and many greetings

Moin together, given: A fan with 300 watts of power consumption, 12 V voltage, single stage. According to ohms law, should mean that a current of 25 amperes flows through the operation. The part is operated two stage by a pre-resistance with 0.3 ohms. The pre-resistance is already a proper device and operated in the air flow, however, I doubt my computing skills. Which leads me to this: According to URI, the 7.5V voltage takes away. Would mean that within the resistance the 180 watts are converted into heat when 25 amperes flow through. The engine itself would still get 4.5V. Would that be enough to start it? I ask that too, since there is obviously a pre-resistance with 0.8 ohms… It is a car based on the Grande Punto platform, as a pre-resistance there is such a thing installed: https://eurostarter.de/…-original-oem-51805134-for-fiat-82790.html. Does it hold or is it possibly a circuit with the resistance as a voltage divider somehow parallel? The motor without resistance does not start at the small level. Can someone bring light into the dark?
