Hello Together, my Mercedes will be 30 years old next month and should, if everything goes well, get the H-mark. I still have a few ambiguities like the procedure after the review by the Tüv. – If H-marks are assigned then I just go to the registration office and have new signs made and ready? – Does the insurance still have to be informed? Am currently at the ADAC in the classical insurance. Greetings Markus

Moin, my FIAT has a new air conditioning system, where the compressor should be revised. For this purpose, I googled a bit with the name of the manufacturer and the model name, but somehow I can’t get any further. Maybe you can answer my questions, at least in part: – If I know correctly, this is an York compressor, the Italian on the type plate has probably built the compressor only in license. Is that right? – Where do I get for the Brummer n or who could revise the compressor so that I can also operate the air conditioning system with R134a, and what would cost such a thing, quite roughly? – Where can I get a dryer with these connections (see pictures)?

1.Can I register a 22-year-old car with a 07 registration number? 2.Is the registration number taken away from me again next year by increasing the age limit of joungtimers from 20 to 30 years? I hope it is possible to continue using the 07 registration number even longer because the taxes due to the 3 liters engine without KAT are very expensive. 3. What do I need for papers if I want to register the car with the 07 oldtimer registration number? 4. Is a vehicle sufficient for me? t 20 years or older, or do I need another?

Hello Have a question: I have a 89 Pontiac Trans Am at the moment unsubscribed. without Tüv and AU. Can I just leave the Ponti still 5 years, without doing Tüv and AU, then the car letter falls down. Then the Ponti gets a 07 number in 5years without a good car letter. Or I have to log in once a year and after 2, 3 days again unsubscribe so that the letter does not forfeit. They told me what if the car is longer than a year not registered, is the KFZ letter ni cht more valid and you have to make the registered a full acceptance. But the Ponti should not be registered anymore, est again with 07 number, in 5 years

Hello Oldie-Fans I own and drive a Ford Escort Bj. 82. But it slowly does not live up to everyday use for its old days. Since the poor but my very first car was, (sniff) I can separate from it very hard. Therefore my question to the experts. Is it worthwhile to moth such a car (with many small blemishes)? After the last big Ford-actions I at least in my surroundings do not have an older Ford (which was not yet an oldie) How and where do I have to moot him? I am quite a fan. But I believe that if he is allowed to stand for another 10 years, he will certainly have a great intellectual value for me and my wife. What do you mean?? Bye Totti

Halli Hello! I am currently driving an AudiA4 1.8T (petrol) and have another 30 years old Mercedes (350SLC) slumber in a garage. Now I wanted to know if I can repel the A4 and possibly even save money. Data Audi 10 l / 100km makes 30,000km /year makes at 1,10€/l 3.300€ fuel Have with the car the 1% regulation It has cost about 32.000€ times so I will be counted as a monetary advantage each month. Mercedes 15l / 100km makes 30,000km /year are at 1,10€/l 49 50€ Strit The new price, however, was about 16.000€ (Bj.73) The advantage/1% would then be only 160€ Because, as I have noticed, everything that is above 160€ is then fully sold as business costs or? Oh, I am self-employed, 24years young (so have also had a lot of fun driving) and do not want to wait until I come to my tax advisor. Oh, the Benz costs in insurance and stueren because of its age a Abbel and a Ei Another reason to change. what makes me worry about are these 15l/100km also fun drivers. So my store with lotto, newspapers, cigarettes and post office is in the house. Therefore also does not have to go to work or something. The Audi now has a dealer purchase value of 900€. So I would definitely get the money for it. And the Mercedes would also swallow about 4000€ of repertures and beauty operations (radio, grease music and rims *g* fuel lines on the cylinder head, exhaust, servo pump etc. ) Greetings to Robbie

I want to buy an old beetle that I can register as an oldtimer, in order to logically: to save control. Now the problem with oldtimers is that they are old and break. So I thought to myself in my youthful ivy the spare parts dfor yesnoch (cheap?) must be to get, because the beetle was manufactured until recently still in mexico. according to tuv you can install a same motor (braking as well) even if it is new. The tinkering would be no problem since I have friends d he are car mechanics. only where do I get a motor and what does it cost? or are the engines of today not the same and are not recognized by the tüv oldie-technically? (the whole time purely hypothetically when the motor breaks or something else…) or is there another car model to which this idea can be applied – or is the whole idea scrapped???what does it cost? -the motor[B/]

Moin, Where it was in the car picture some time ago, and it would interest me sometimes. Which ten cars should you have driven at least once in your life so that you have arrived in the Autoolymp ?! Which cars are in your opinion so important, that really everyone should have sat in it once ? My list, arbitrary order : 1) VW beetles, because he has motorized Germany and represents the post-war car par excellence. 2) VW Golf I, because he is the founder of a whole autoclas 4) Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa from 1984. In my opinion, the 11th, which still best practices the balancing act between Beast and Lady. His predecessors were still too bizarre, his successors were always softer. 5) Saab 900 Turbo, the first turbo capable of everyday use, the first turbo, which was the first to be used in the world. 6) Mercedes-Benz 200D W-123, an unadulterated tank that expresses everything that the Mercedes-Benz brand makes. 7) Renault R5, because it embodies the driving feeling of France unadulterated and pure. 8) Lancia Delta Integrale, because it represents the rally car par excellence. Before it was the Stratos, after it came nothing comparable. 9) BMW M3 E30, the first and at the same time the last, which embodies the true genes, the 10) Citroen DS, because this car represents the goddess and was so far ahead of his time that we only begin to understand the car today. I wish you a lot of pleasure in reading, thinking and post.

I have a beetle convertible. In winter I want to replace the optics with green tinted side/front panes. So far, so good … Unfortunately, I can buy the front rotating windows – also called triangle windows – only with slight defects: the windows are mounted at the top and bottom turnable so that they can be displayed. So, with the exception of the place where the discs are stored, the edges are visible. In the original, these edges are evenly cut round. D he offered me look like broken/cut. Can you grind the edges? How do you proceed?

Hello people! Since I suspect the expert people here in the forum I throw a question into the round: Suppose I hire a working strobe lamp from Bosch with which also the closing angle can be set. Get it back with the remark : Does not work, is broken. And now it really does not go. After several inquiries I ask how the lamp was connected and the colleague answers:On the battery, first on minus and then on plus to avoid sp Somewhere he would have connected to the battery if the ignition was switched off. So, I learned in my lesson that (unsecured) consumers first connect to Plus and then to Minus and that a battery also has juice when the ignition is switched off. And I mean that he has fabricated a short circuit. Does not he mean. What do you think? Thank you for helpful answers!
