  • Question on winter tyres – MX5 NC Sendo with RDKS

    Hi there, I have a few questions about winter tyres for our MX-5 NC 1.8 l with RDKS, which we bought in April. So far I have never been more busy with this topic with our previous cars (Opel Zafira and Tigra TwinTop) since we have received good deals from our Opel dealer, which we have relied on with confidence. Since the design is less important to us in the cold season, we always have steel rims with good winter tyres and wheel caps. When I asked about winter tyres for our MX-5, I was a little surprised at first. Steel rims don’t seem to exist or are used as good as not at all (I can also understand for design reasons, with the great car). So then aluminium rims, but which size can be driven? In the vehicle license there are 205/45R17 84 W, i.e. 17 inch rims. Can I then easily also use winter tyres on 16 inch aluminium rims. My Mazda dealer has offered me 16 inch rims from Mazda with Pirelli tires (I have to ask for the exact type again) which should be allowed for our MX-5 (example was provided by Mazda for this car …), even if only the 17 inch rims are registered in the vehicle certificate. The RDKS sensors can be mounted without any problems and a learning is probably done automatically. after a few kilometers. My questions about this concretely: – which rim size can be driven without registration etc.? – is there really no alternative with steel rims that I could fall back on? – is there still something to consider regarding RDKS? – which tires can you recommend (annual run capacity approx. 15,000 km and about half with winter tires in the rather flat Rhineland)? – in what price range should complete wheels with good winter tires move on aluminium rims or steel rims? I I am quite a newcomer on this topic and would therefore be very happy about answers to my questions and general information on this topic. Thank you so much, Tigra-Max

  • ATU – large inspection + 2 brake discs, 4 brake pads

    Hello municipality, I was at ATU today and I had an offer for a large inspection (incl. teething) with rear brake discs and all 4 brake pads put together. Unfortunately I have no idea myself whether the price is so normal and just. I would be quite happy if you could look at it. =) I really don’t know if this is still worth it. I thought about selling the car. But since 6 years no customer service was done, I doubt that I would The brakes have to be made, since metal is already braking on metal on the back right. On the internet I saw that a set with 4 brake discs + 4 brake pads is not even so expensive. If someone would have done this to me privately. Could you recommend me a certain set? Generally not really know what to do: – Have a car at ATU and then sell. – Sell car as it is. (TÜV expired, I can only after the brakes have finished make?) – make windows and coverings private, then TÜV -> sell – windows and coverings private + customer service in the workshop (tooths?!) -> sell …. Please help me =/ car: MAZDA MX5 NB, 100000km, 145ps, 2004, Bezin, manual gearbox Have attached the offer as picture.

  • Purchase advice Mazda 5

    Moin, we are looking for a car for the family (2Erw + 2 children). Today we looked at this Mazda 5 at the dealer on site: I found this offer at ??????????????????: Mazda 5 2.0i Sendo, 7Sitze,SH,PDC Sendo First registration: 07/2014 Kilometer level: 120.310 km Fuel type: petrol, E10-suitable Power: 110 kW (150 hp) Price: 11.480 €https://link.mobile.de/TgmwR8HqKKMDQVKA The engine has pulled a bit, a valve (was used in other threads here times a) ls potential source of error) is still checked by the workshop and if necessary made. Otherwise we also need an AHK and winter tire (possibly as a negotiating mass). + sliding doors + 7 seats + total sufficient space + clearly below the budget of approx. 1500€ + the car dealership makes a trusting impression and is on site The impression at the test drive was fine, but did not knock us down. Is just a somewhat older and carrier car as a new for example, but for our needs with two children (3 and 9) it makes sense. I have concerns about consumption. Does someone have experience values from the practice? What else do I have to consider or should I still clarify or ask? How do you rate the price (taking into account that it is a dealer)? I would be happy about opinions or experiences 🙂 How do you rate the price?

  • Mazda 6 Kombi vs. e.g. Passat?

    Hi Folks, I’m currently in the search phase, which car I should buy. There are Audi A6s, Passat Variant, RAV4 2006, Avensis Combi or just a Mazda 6 combi. The A6 disturbs me the price/performance ratio and the service behavior. The passat is bad for both the price and the cockpit, but technically absolutely ok. RAV4 2006 likes quite well as the Avensis (but only after Facelift 2006). I was very surprised by the qualitative impression of Mazda 6. H but so far neither test drives nor the big Navi can test, which is very important for me. In the press there are always very different statements about this. What is your opinion about the new 6? Can it be compared with the other ones at all? Do you always have the feeling that the German Motor Press very rarely makes a comparison to the Mazda 6. DEr is always tested alone. Does someone have the current DVD Navi and can say what about the quality? Thank you

Help me please….
