  • External temperature Question for display

    Moin people, I have a question about the outside temperature display. Actually I only wanted to read out the parameters of my ventilation/climate for comparison purposes because I have a problem with another car, use Delphi for this. Delphi shows me working -30 Gard at the outside temperature, in the instrument cluster we display the actual temperature correctly however I have the feeling that the control does not function quite correctly in the automatic position, but did not disturb me because I always hand na Where does the information for the temperature display in the comb instrument come from? Sensor in the bumper? Ask me if the sensor is defective or Delphi tells me nonsense.

  • Kaufhilfe V40 2.0 Bj 2003

    Good day I hope that I am in the right place with my question. I intend to buy a 2003 V40 with the 2.0 petrol engine. A previous owner, older gentleman who drove only 90000km. Freshly made: timing belts, water pump, brake back. As a layman I want to be as well infortmated before the test drive. As far as I know the front axle is problematic with this Bj, what can I pay attention to? What are generally things that should prevent me from buying? Help. L.

  • Grinding sound while rolling

    Hello Ihrse, BJ 1997 TD 90 PS 152tkm wheel bearing according to 2 workshops and Tüv complete i.o. for some time a grinding noise bothers me while driving. It is best to hear it when rolling at idle speed. I would type it from the front but in the car it is very difficult to locate it. Was already in 2 workshops but they dismissed it as a rolling noise of the tires. To my opinion this can not be for the following reasons: 1. Also on the dirt road, where through the Unter 2. as soon as I step on the brake the noise is gone! 3. The tires are almost as good as new and with other tires (winter tires) I have the same noise. When I pick up the car I have a grinding noise at the back of every wheel crashing{ the workshop said that would be normal and not to be heard during the ride. (nothing can be heard on the front wheels when I turn the brakes) Brakes in front are also complete 2 months ago The sound disappears at about 50 km/h, but between 150 and 160 is again intensified … over 160 to limit lt. Tacho just over 190 is nothing more to hear. what do you think about it? It is a rhythmic grinding/singing noise faster or slower depending on the speed. I strongly tap on the brakes but the workshop, which has only recently completely renewed the brakes, denies the vehemently. How can I narrow this down or locate it better. the suspicion they want to press for improvement or replacement. thank you already for your tips Greetings Tom

  • Car gas in the V40 Turbo

    Hello, I’m new to this forum and would like to share my experiences that I’ve made with autogas only briefly to maybe encourage one or the other to think, so that maybe it doesn’t happen similar to me. About 3 years ago I had an autogas system built in Landi-Renzo and was very satisfied. When taking gas on the highway at about 120 km/h (from about 140km/h) the Lambda warning lamp burned, and that happened to me often, (the warning lamp went after the 7th time start again) I went to the Werstatt again, it was re-regulated and from there no more prblems. With this gas system I drove now almost 70,000 km and had no problems anymore up to a slight jerking when I gave again gas after the gas take. Now came the disillusionment. After a approx.30 km long highway drive (approx. 130km/h) and a rise (6%) a little faster lif the engine only on 3 pots. Conclusion was a burned away valve. r Wekstatt where I have the Zyliderkopf repaired was the first question whether the car drives with car gas, otherwise the valves and seats would have to be made gas-proof. Maybe everyone of the gas installation before has to ask themselves at the brand workshop whether these concerns express – that is definitely cheaper than an engine damage, because there is a powerful tail attached to it. Maybe someone has had similar experiences. I would be pleased with answers.

  • no more gas

    Hi guys. Now I have a problem and hope you can help me with it, maybe which of you also had the problem? I drive a 1.9D with 102hp and it’s a 2oo1er. When I drive in the city or on the country road, quite normal with the traffic, it comes from time to time that the gas stays out at once. Only when I walk off the pedal and give gas again, he drives on normally. The funny thing is, shortly before my tepomat has given up the mind (the error cause I have My girlfriend drove my car today and the same thing happened again, this happened in a 30’s zone for example. My question is now, have you already had experiences there and is it “hopefully” a small flaw?? I am grateful for every tip. Nice weekend SwedenThomas

  • EP Civic better than the FK Civic?

    Hello FK ́ler! I’ve been following all your FK threads for quite a while and find it very shameful for Honda to sell such a car. I didn’t know it better after 3 Honda ́s so I would probably never buy a Honda. The defect thread gets longer and longer and the defects / defects more and more. But where is the reaction from Honda. Ok, there are already solutions for a hooking tank cover, Honda internal dealer circular but I just don’t understand that you don’t already have who In the case of the EP Civic, however, there was already a gap in defects, which was by far not as long as with the FK. OK, he has a bunch of cracks in it, but the electrics doesn’t seem to be the problem with the FK. Rather the production in Swindon and the working whites of the bottlers give reason to complain. Great the Honda has dared to react or even before the series production. To bring the FK so stylish (inside and outside) on the market. But in terms of quality / reliability / defects / defects probably rather three steps back than forward. Conclusion: You should not even buy a new generation of a model at Honda now, but wait for the childhood diseases.

  • Acceleration Civic FK3

    Hello, I was a little bit busy today with my FK3 sport and tried to make a little acceleration video. The video has 3 “errors”: First I had to do it with the mobile phone, second the conversion of the 3GP file to AVI is simply a madness, if you don’t have proper software and third the video is wrong for me inexplicable reasons. So if I look at it on the mobile phone and on my PC, then it is correctly recorded. It’s strangely wrong. Unfortunately. Probably because of the bad conversion software. I will look for something better tomorrow. Besides, the video is anyway only a test attempt because I did not give full throttle. I will start a new start tomorrow – full throttle, longer runtime and better image quality. If someone finds a good conversion software, I am very grateful, otherwise I will be looking alone until tomorrow. Had not much time today. To explain because the Tach o is difficult to read (on the right): The video shows the acceleration from 68 km/h to 105 km/h! Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5FEqqN4fOc

  • New NSX!

    I think it’s time !! Detroit. Honda gives a view of the next generation of the sports car NSX. At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit (13th to 21st January) the Japanese manufacturer has therefore unveiled the “Advanced Sports Car Concept” under the roof of the subsidiary Acura. According to the manufacturer, the edged two-door is driven by a new ten-cylinder. The unit is mounted at the front, but has an effect on the rear axle. For example, in tight curves, a part of the drive force is also diverted to the front wheels. Honda has not yet reported how much power the engine develops and which driving performance would be possible.
