  • 95 horsepower okay?

    Hello, I plan to buy a Fiat Grande Punto 1.4/95PS Dynamic. Today I made a test drive in the 77hp model because there was no 95hp model. The car convinced me on the whole, but he didn’t have enough ‘BUMS’ to say he wasn’t powerful enough for me. I didn’t feel that the car had 77hp at all. Unfortunately, the two Fiat dealers both don’t have a 95hp-ler there and will not be a test drive in the near future. i.e. I would have to buy the car with 95hp if, then blindly. The dealer said that the car with 95hp is significantly faster. But since the 77 was so lame, I fear that one does not really notice the 95hp? Therefore my question to you: How does the car with 95hp drive? Is the car a little more splashy than the 77hp?

  • Quietscheford: Last part? D-Filter or control valve

    Hi, you may not believe it, but the game goes on. I finally found the squeaking, at least I believe it. I bought the book and immediately after I read that the Krafstoff is warmed up at the 85kw TDDI somehow went in that direction. Unfortunately it was always too warm or the noise was too short. Today it was different, at least the sound long enough….and I stood with a vacuum cleaner pipe in front of the car to listen. Directly on the Reg elventil of the diesel filter was a climper/kling/klapper VERY clear to hear. At the moment it is so that up to ~12°C outside temperature the noise is there and after a few minutes completely disappears. After I have heard the on/at the control valve the car probably ran for too long and it was not heard any more while the rest of the ride. What cost should it be, such an exchange of the control valve with wires? My wife and I will look/hear it again tomorrow (today it is e the car will no longer squeak). However, I am more than sure that this bright sound NIGHT belongs to the control valve. MFG

  • Mondeo 2,2 TDCI Engine Damage 38TKM

    Hello Motor-Talker! I’m just so bad luck with Ford or there are fellow sufferers. I’m beginning to get the impression that Ford saves on too many little things. After changing my C-Max, I was looking forward to my Mondeo 2.2 TDCI. The problems with Ford didn’t stop. – that the voice-controlled hands-free device works or didn’t work, as it’s in the mood, I had already used myself (if you know the tricks, it’s back to La La I had to accept – that the expensive Ford CD changer plays self-burned CD-Rs only with errors, so that it is simply useless for me and Ford doesn’t care, I thought, would be my biggest nuisance with the vehicle…. … but since last Sunday I know, it’s still possible to slip away) – that my engine also has a “bad scatter” (can’t hear this term anymore) – that my engine has another “bad scatter” (can’t hear this term) and is therefore lamer than the most expensive others and when the vehicle shows it, I had to accept – that the expensive Ford CD changer plays self-burned CD-Rs only with errors, so it’s simply useless for me and Ford doesn’t care, I thought, would be my biggest nuisance with the vehicle…. … but since last Sunday I know, it’s still possible hter: On the way from Hamburg to Hanover, I thought about half way the car burns off. Power loss, deep black smoke from the engine. I just managed to drive from the highway and after about 100 meters it was off. Oil ran on the road and nothing went – the appointment for an apartment transfer had thus burst. Engine damage at just under ! 39,000 km ! Bj 09/05 – scandal !! The free Ford hotline was impeccable, after 20 min a tow truck was there and I have to I’m sorry for all Ford fans, but never again for me. My Opels, my Audi and my VW were always more reliable! — really no more bugs!

  • Question to engine connoisseur 2L 131 hp

    Hello, it would take a bit of information about the engine in my Mondeo 2L, model 98. Since the Mondeo is driving very quietly in the normal driving style, it is still very sporty when you pass through the full gas. Had sought the compromise, between my desire confortable and well equipped, and my wife’s desire to get a bit more temperamentally from the spot. If you drive normally, then this means with our driving style, that at the latest 3000-3500 rpm is switched up. n Motor times quite demanding, then from 4000-4500 rpm a change in the sound characteristic takes place. He suddenly sounds really biting, Röhrig and a little bit bad. Since one is now approaching the full power of the engine, the Mondeo also makes fun as a family carriage. Can someone explain to me what happens there, that the engine changes its tone so that one thinks to sit in another car. Gruss vom Ritter

  • ECO Tuning

    Last time I saw a report, that you can save fuel with changed software for the engine control. Should the Mondeo probably cost 250 € and bring about 15% savings. Nepp or serious alternative compared to any water that you should pour into the engine or tank? I’m curious about your opinions and possible reviews!

  • Error message BLIS – Transverse traffic sensor

    Hello colleagues, recently our Tourneo Connect Grand (EZ 17) has the error: BLIS transverse traffic sensor malfunction. Does anyone know that, one of you has ever had the error? According to Ford Werkstatt the control unit should be defective and they want 1200 Euro plus installation and pick-up control. Can you program this out or can you fix it cheaper?

  • Solar charge and electrical questions

    I had a transit FT 350 (2.4 L, 116 HP, 2011) converted to a camper and installed solar panel + solar battery. Because the camper has relatively long service life, would be practically the 2 on-board batteries (2 batteries under the driver seat) also to supply with solar charge. An acquaintance of mine meant that I had to attach a 3 way switch to the plus cable to the solar battery ( between charging module and solar battery), from which the plus cable to the on-board battery is the negative cable coming from the negative pole of the solar battery to the body. This could be changed, the solar battery and the onboard batteries charge. Is among us a professional here, who can confirm or correct this ?? And …… who knows which of the 2 batteries is responsible for starting ??
