  • Honda Civic Hybrid: Which color take (black or grey)?

    Hello! I’m about to decide to order the Civic Hybrid. Unfortunately, I can’t decide between “Nighthawk Black Pearl” and “Galaxy Gray Metallic”. It’s more difficult that I haven’t seen the two colors on this vehicle yet. I’d be happy to help with a decision.

  • increased oil consumption…….

    Hello! For a while I have had to refill all 1.000km about 1/2 l oil. I know this is not very much, but before (up to approx. 250,000km) I had to refill nothing between the oil changes. Since the oil does not penetrate outwards through def. gaskets, it can only get through the valve shaft seals or piston rings into the cylinders. The oil used has the viscosity 10W-40. Question: Does it bring something if I use thicker 15W-40 oil? Or does someone know another cause or lösu ng to reduce consumption? I am grateful for any hint…!

  • Trouble with the workshop

    Hi guys! Today, when I looked at my winter tires, I noticed too little air pressure. A measurement at the petrol station then resulted in pressures of 1.5 to 1.7 bar, instead of the recommended 2.1 bar. Annoying is that I changed the wheels yesterday in my workshop (Winterchek offer incl. wheel change) and had an optional 30,000 km – service carried out. So I paid 204 euros for this so that I can then adjust the air pressure myself at the petrol station!? of the fact that “control of the tyres” was explicitly part of the “winter check” offer, a tyre pressure control is in my opinion a matter of course with every service. Furthermore, I do not need to mention that too low tyre pressure represents a safety risk. Furthermore, I doubt that the door seals were conserved (also part of the “winter check” offer), since otherwise the smell of the silicone spray would have been noticed. I can’t check my car afterwards. I don’t want to mention that the contents of my service booklet folder were scattered on the passenger seat and the glove compartment was open when I accepted my car again. Admittedly, a little something – it contributes to the sloppy impression! I complained to my car dealership by phone and now by e-mail. For years I have been putting my trust in this workshop, misbrauc It is now! Nowadays you really have to put yourself in the workshop and see if everything is done, for which you pay!! Sorry, I’m upset about grrrrr

  • car “eated” (brittle) while braking

    night i want to buy maybe tomorrow nen honda civic 5 door bj 12/1997 75ps, during the test(with) drive I noticed that the car was braking somehow eiert (it felt as if the braking effect was not linear so the “sinus-like” effect was sometimes stronger and sometimes less, the whole was regular and relatively fast – you can also call it a jerk), the salesman meant that the brakes are new at the front and have to slow down first. now i would like to know What do you think about it? Is the statement correct or should more be done? I try to do a test drive myself tomorrow… mfg demokan

  • Front and rear spoiler Civic FK

    Was just earlier with my Honda dealer and ordered me the front and rear spoiler from the original accessories for my FK3 Sport. Also suitable of course in Nighthawk Black Pearl. I asked myself if there is only the front spoiler extra to order – unfortunately no. You have to take both together. If costs with us in Austria 1,100 Euro, the assembly comes at 250 Euro. The advantage is that the parts are already finished painted at the dealer. At least this will be the case. Part quickly delivered – ordered today and on Friday it should already be at the dealer. It will be mounted next week on Tuesday. Then you will post pictures!

  • Connection guarantee

    Hello, I wanted to hear if one of you had completed the connection guarantee here? I wanted to do this for our jazz.The price factor is 229 euros for another two years guarantee. The seller said, however, that I didn’t need it.It wouldn’t break anything.He is very convinced of his product. Has anyone already completed this guarantee? What do you think about it?http://www.honda.de/content/news/17506_44766.html Gruss MK

  • Poor heating performance

    Hello, with our V40 (petrol, 115 hp, year 98) the heating does not work really well. It comes maximum lukewarm air. The temperature indicator is slightly below the center. I have unfortunately only my 850 as a comparison. It heats very well and has the indicator (after the thermostat opened) exactly in the middle. Is it possible that the thermostat has broken open, or is there any other problems? The water pump was changed when the timing belt changed recently, But I don’t want to rule out anything. Would the thermostat be easy to replace? Which antifreeze is needed with the engine? Thank you very much.

  • Volvo XC60 and a washing machine

    Hello community. I brought a brand new Volvo XC60 D5 (dream car) to unlock the brand new E-set and TRM module into a SWEDEN Volvo workshop. This garage had problems with downloading and installing the required software, it didn’t work right away. The fun cost me instead of 11 euros then 180.- Euro. Fact is : A new car, a new TRM module that doesn’t work will not be repaired on kulanz. The garage does that at my expense and VCG find My washing machine which did not work during the warranty period was repaired for free.

  • Volvo V70 without USB retrofit?

    Hello! I have had a Volvo V70 MJ2010 since almost 1 1/2 WEEKS (show follows in better weather :-D) This one has “only” the completely sufficient standard music system. However, I wonder if retrofitting is so easy. The radio has an Aux input. I could imagine e.g. the Kenwood KOS210. In doing so, you can feed the signal via the AUX or via the antenna. But.. does the radio have a simple, normal antenna plug? What possibilities do you have? So far installed? Greetings, Holger

  • Black, beautiful, safe, fast – new moose

    Hello together, After 12 years and over a quarter of a million km I separated myself from my faithful and reliable V40, and commissioned a V60, which I have been driving since about 2000Km. Time for a first conclusion, and opportunity to thank everyone who helped me with the decision. After a few glances over the fence to the four rings with crisp VDU it has become something more individual: Volvo V60 T6 MY13 Momentum with Polestar in Ember Black Pearl Dri ver Dynamics Pack (Four-C chassis) Winter Pack mt Dual-Xenon and active cornering light Business Prof. Pack Driver Support pack Rearview camera, AhK, Sleipner 18inch Summer / current Njord 17inch Winter So far I am very satisfied, the space is quite good, engine makes a lot of fun, workmanship is good, seats comfortable, operation a little fuzzy little buttons but OK, sound is good, AWD has proven itself well in the snow, the active cornering light is great, City Safety is innovative and the distancer adar I really appreciated on the highway or in the stop-and-go. Nevertheless, I would like to mention what I like less, I hope that doesn’t sound too negative: The lighting of the trunk is really poor, why not LED? Too bad the ventilation nozzles are not illuminated. You have to put the clock “by hand” but could go via GPS? The navigator is… well, as far as OK, I imagined worse that the voice control in Switzerland is not working unv I would have liked more “difference” from the 4C chassis, I don’t notice much when switching. I would have preferred the chassis from the R design, but that’s not alone. The Geartronic is just a Geartronic, I get used to the machines only hard, even if it makes sense in combination to the distance radar, and in sport mode I probably switch faster than manually, it just feels kind of sluggish. Fun would be a DSG or natural. In general, I seem to have become conservative… I don’t really care about the electric handbrake, and the “start button” doesn’t help me either, so you pull the key out and the engine still keeps running, and after the switch off the radio runs even further… oh, come on. And vice versa, I forget the key in the car all the time when I press the button. Well, it’s still going. Nevertheless, all in all, I’m happy, and w I didn’t like it so much – also thanks to you – already knew and consciously accepted. A hadswitched T6 with R-design suspension and G*rmin Navi… that would have been perfect 😉 And because this is so custom, I also put a few photos pure love greetings Bluefoxx
