Good evening. I’m the new one here and I have a direct question I sold my Opel signum the penultimate weekend privately. Now the new owner writes to me that this is not correct with the chassis and therefore I am supposed to replenish myself or to participate in the funnel of the “error”. The legal situation aside. I’m more interested…is it permissible to mix front serial shock absorbers with rear FK shock absorbers. As springs are 30s H&R ru ndum. He has an expert report on them, but says that his workshop tells him that this is not possible, it would be forbidden. Is that so or is it not so? Rejoice me (hopefully) to your answers 😛

Coking: solution by Ncoat.one ?
Hello everyone, various threads across the manufacturers deal with the topic of coking and their (often expensive) consequences for direct injections such as (T)FSI gasoline engines. A workshop employee recently pointed out to me Nclean and Ncoat/Ncoat.one, the German company Norrol, who won an industrial award, an inner oil additive, which according to his own statement is “the problem solver No.1 for coking and impurities in engines (burning room, turbo, oil cycle). The product is not a classic oil additive, the products work within the oil cycle. Nanotech, among other things, from modified silicon oxide (SiO2), aluminium oxide (AI2O3) and plasma treated graphite (C) would ‘enrich’ the surfaces. Is there any experience, does anyone know that or does anyone use it? Info links:http://www.ncoat.one/http://norrol.eu/http://www.2000km.net/2016/08/24/oldtimer-fahrer-better-with-ncoat-one/

Brake discs and pads aftermarket
Moinsen I searched the forum and turned the internet upside down. The topic is the following: There are felt 50 brake manufacturers or brands under which they are distributed. Everywhere in this forum immerse reviews on ala” I swear on ATE” “there is only Brembo” “NK has left behind” “Zimmermann are horny” and of course there are also the completely opposite opinions. In addition, the fear of plagiarism from “the bay” All this is extr I did not find any independent comparison tests. Maybe any of you? Since the prices of brake discs as well as pads vary extremely and tests are missing, it is quite difficult for us end users to choose the best product at the best price performance ratio. The only thing that actually helps is the ECE regulation “R90″ valid for brakes since 1 November 2016 have had to adapt brake discs and drums to new vehicle types. In order to achieve ECE-R90 approval, high demands are placed on component characteristics and on manufacturers. In this way, drivers should have the certainty to obtain products in original equipment quality in the free spare parts market. ” How can I find out the best product?

Installing alternator in Felge?
Hello, I’m new to this forum and I have no idea if I should ask such a question here at all, but I’m just doing it now. If you install an alternator like a scooter/motorcycle in an electric car in the two rear wheels, if necessary also the front wheels, and the rim is magnetic, so that when the wheel is turned, i.e. when driving, power is generated, then it would not be possible to recharge the battery when driving, so that you almost never get more power “danks” I had the idea of one night, maybe you can save the world like this?????? I hope I’m right here, and you have an answer to my question…

Find someone in Wolfsburg & nearer surroundings who knows VW motor control units very well.
Moin, sometimes I have cars whose engine control unit is broken. Often it is “cold soldering points” or the electr. connections at the “Eprom”. Search specialists who can repair engine control units and “learn”. If someone knows such a specialist in Wolfsburg and near surroundings up to 50 km radius, I would be very grateful if I could get a tip or address. Also by PN here in the forum. Friendly greetingsGrützy

Quit from the wheel box
Hello together, I was recently with the car in Croatia, there happened to me a little mishaps and indeed I drove despite the wheel claw that was made to me for parking without tickets. Before you ask, yes, I was stuck with warnings on the car, but I thought of these as harassment against wrong parkers and simply ignored them, because in my life I would not have remembered that something like this is common practice there. Later in front of the apartment I looked at the damage once except Ka A few days later on the Croatian highway I heard a pretty loud squeaking and that always in left-hand Kruven. Also in the traffic jam while driving slowly one could hear it, but only briefly and not with the whole turn of the bike but apparently only at one time. Anyway we came to Germany without further ado, the noise on the ride became more and more quiet and also only noc h sporadically, but it is still there with strong steering strokes. And now my question is what would you do in my place, continue driving, because I do not smell anything, see also nothing and at the driving mode of the car has changed also nothing or yet to the TÜV or the workshop of my trust and the whole time checked? Greetings Dimi

ABS without coupling
Hi, maybe one of you has tried it out or experienced it. What happens to the engine if I do a full braking with ABS at 100 km/h and don’t step on the clutch? In principle, the engine has to jump constantly between 0 RPM and a changing speed back and forth. Let’s say, the ABS brakes with a frequency of 10 HZ, in addition, depending on the drive technology, not all wheels are braked at the same time. Can an engine/gear of such a load even withstand from the wheels? And what would happen with smoothness? Wouldn’t the standing engine block the wheels even when the brakes are solved? Best regards pczwiebel

Downpipe without software no one can say anything clear
Hello guys I bought a CLA 45 AMG that has a stage 1 optimization. The car has 408 hp and 540 NM on the hardware of the car nothing was changed. Now I wanted to install a downpipe without changing the software. I wrote to or called about ten different tuners on Ebay classifieds, none of them could tell me more precisely whether to customize the software or not. Five of them you can install without any problems without any problems. Four of them say the software has to be adapted because otherwise you will damage the engine. One says that the car would jump into the emergency run immediately. I hope you can create clarity here because I really don’t know who or what I should think I would like to thank you for any help I can get.

Meaning and benefits of noisy exhaust systems?
Good day, according to my technical understanding of cars, the exhaust system should, among other things, fulfil the function of releasing the combustion gases to the environment as quietly as possible through a sophisticated geometry of this system. Unfortunately, I often find myself generally in the city and especially on the relatively busy road, where I live, that some vehicles run out of disproportionately loud noise, in individual cases even in a hearing loss. Is this even lega l and if yes, does it bring a technical benefit or advantage? Or does this only serve to polish up a cracked ego as well as to compensate for mental/anatomical deficits? I ask for a factual and rational answer.

All-weather/bad weather light
At the moment I notice new vehicles which do not have classic fog lights in the lower front, but a kind of additional LEDs which also light something to the side. It obviously also functions as a turn-off light and is integrated into the main headlights. I realize that since Xenon/LED the benefit for additional fog has disappeared, at least that’s how I feel. The dipped light also shines well enough through the fog. Nevertheless, the reason for this development would inte Has anyone had any experience with this kind of light?
