General Motors has chosen E85 as tomorrow’s fuel. Rick Wagoner, CEO of GM, has little confidence: “It will take significantly longer than twelve years for the global vehicle stock to be converted to environmentally friendly engines.” Detroit. Rick Wagoner, CEO of General Motors, prefers the biofuel E85 as a short-term response to the environmental discussion. “E85 offers a high potential, but the infrastructure still needs to be improved,” said Wagoner on the car. Show in Detroit. The company already offers 25 models worldwide that use E85. With the Hummer Hx Concept and the Saab 9-4X BioPower Concept, two more are added. Saab will go into series production in 2009, and the Hummer study will at least bring the V6 drivetrain into mass production. “From 2010 onwards, all Hummer models will also be available with E85 engines,” explains Mark LaNeve, Head of Sales at GM in the USA. However, Wagoner does not believe in a rapid change in buyer behaviour. “It will take significantly longer than twelve years for the remaining vehicle stock to be switched to environmentally friendly drives,” explains Wagoner.

KM/h Display and KM counter failed Scenic 2003
Hi, the tips in the existing threads didn’t help and the users who were on the way there also don’t seem to be active anymore, therefore a new thread. Until recently there was no sign of a failure. Car was parked and started for 2 weeks. Then Tacho failure. Specifically, the speed is no longer displayed and the KM display (roadway) somehow doesn’t notice that the car is being driven. Otherwise, no lamps light up. Tacho is digital, at least the KM-display as well as the onboard computer that sits below the speedometer to the speed indicator. I checked once fuse, pulled off, ABS LIGHTS. A sensor plugged off at the VA times, ABS lamp lights up. The plug from the ABS control unit on the passenger side in the engine compartment released from below times…ABS lamp lights up, no oxidized contacts visible. On the tacho are at the rear 2 plugs, one sits behind the rev indicator and is 2 rows (or were 3), the other is one row I’m sitting behind the display of the on-board computer or speed indicator. On the plug behind the tachometer is actually a grey wire on Pin23. I just have to find all the gray wires that were in the connector of the ABS ECU practically attached to Pin23 with an extra wire, of course individually. But it does not matter. I have this information from another thread, which has solved the PRoblem. Now the question is whether someone can send me a schematic. that the speedometer has a defect? In the appendix you can see the ABS plug that is just connected to the ABS control unit. For tips and the switch I would be very grateful! Greetings

Ignition oscillations / engine does not run on all cylinders: Ignition coil is not, then what?
Hello, at the Renault Scenic III 85kW gasoline engine with 85,000km there is a very unround motor run/power loss/flash. ADAC was there, OBD diagnosis says: Appendix – diagnostic protocol (read out error codes): Diagnosis result 1 (time 18:55) Error no. Error description DTC 0301F8 combustion Zyl. 1 diagnostic result 2 (time 18:54) Error no. Error description DTC 013613 Lambdasonde according to Kat. DTC 0301F8 combustion Zyl. 1 DTC 030166 combustion Zyl. 1 DTC 0304F8 combustion Zy l. 4 DTC 030466 Combustion Zyl. 4 DTC 0300F8 Combustion spout DTC 030066 Combustion spout The ADAC man said, probably ignition coil of cylinder #4. I changed the ignition coil, unfortunately no success! Also I installed the developed ignition coil of cylinder #4 for safety in #1, also no improvement. Do you have another idea? Thank you!

Clio 1,2l 55kW wire harness defective Don’t make it separate me
Hello, many will smile at me now, but my Clio (16 years old) has a big problem and that is the wire harness is broken. I love my car above all, we have been through a lot, it still comes from my old happy lives, we are already 14 years together now. With all the fear that the mechanic says that it is not profitable anymore, I let myself drive now already 2 months and that is really exhausting because I live in the country where a bus and nothing drives. Do you deal with that, and is there still any way to keep my snappy alive? I haven’t slept for 2 months with all my worries!

Cooler water at clio III
Good morning, in June I bought a Clio III, (3333 AAM), 1.6 TÜV new, and climate was defective. Saleswoman said it was too expensive to have it repaired and therefore she didn’t have anything done. Heating works well. She said when selling you had to refill cooler fluid from time to time. Did you want to start this yesterday and saw that the container is empty. Is this a problem? Which coolant does the Clio need? Can someone give me a tip? Thanks in advance GB Um, have just seen that the empty container is the balancing container. Question nevertheless, where do I find the coolant container or what means do I need? Merci

R5 GT Turbo
Hello it’s about the following. I still have a R5 GTE Le Mans body in good condition in my hall, some Clio 16V parts and a R5 Gt Turbo engine. If I install the engine there, I get this relatively well registered and what I need for papers or other. A possible price would not be bad.
