  • Just whining for a second (love diary)

    Hya, Tuesday I tried to bring the blue caravan over the TΓΌv after 6 years of service. That means – actually I wanted to know what I had to do. But he didn’t like the car at all πŸ™ (right) From front to back. – Fog lights are swimming inside. – Headlight glass on both sides too matt. – Front left spring break – Front left brake line too rusty. – Front both brake discs too rusty (deep scars in material) – Front both track rods are cut out. – Back both brakes Chewing too rusty (deep scars in the material) – In the back both shock absorbers wet. – Back left spring break (but what I saw at home – at the TΓΌv it didn’t notice) – hand brake pulls unevenly. – Operation brake pulls unevenly – and as a dope on the i – rear windscreen wiper rubber defective πŸ˜‰ Now I am pretty much at the racking. Before all I could k… because the fixing screw of the brake disc right back I can’t get on πŸ™ The imbus bit slipped smoothly through me. D And at Ebay I found a single screw for 23(!) double markers. (I’d rather look at the scrapper…) Both dampers at the back needed extreme force to be removed. There were the guide tubes out of the rubbers in the lead and only went out with a lot of wobble hammers and violence πŸ™ That cost me a whole day’s work and at least 1 year of my life … Tomorrow I drill the fixing screw out and build up the back the second new brake disc with new saddle and coverings and the new springs. Then it is finished in the back. Puh. He has new headlights and neblers in the front as well. Then comes my fear topic – expansion of the front spring legs, replace springs and install them again. (The dampers are fortunately still OK) If someone has tips to have – always come with πŸ™‚ Too much is the Clio, which I bought for the work path. It just goes out again and again and also a leak in d he gas system. But my lawyer sees good chances πŸ™‚ So fertich with whining πŸ˜‰ Btw.: the good one has good rust on various parts. Can I cover the brake calipers sandblasting and then with protective varnish – or do I ruin the sliding surfaces of the cylinder with it? Many greetings Mathias PS By the way: Both old dampers just ripped off me when pulling down like paper!

  • Street as a junkyard ?

    Hi, had an underground collision with an exhaust about 1.5 weeks ago. Shortly before the Rhine bridge suddenly appeared, a exhaust pot lying in the middle of my right lane, in front of me. To the left a car column on the right a threaded track on which was just in my height a car. So had no chance to drive a little left or a little right past the stupid pot. So I decided to take it in the middle between the feet. A muffled bang and a shock prayer that did not It seems that only the heat shield of the left cat tube has a little dent. Could have run out of bumps. I’m really pissed. If you lose charge,Ok I still understand somewhere. If you lose a wheel cap,Ok I understand too. But a exhaust pot ?? You can hear that before, if it only hangs on some rusty shreds. Yesterday came on the radio : There is a bumper on the highway ….TZZZ. On the road there is ́s a middle Is that the same thing in your areas or are they just halucinations of me…?

  • Timing belt change on Wednesday

    Hello guys, I just got my timing belt set and the WAPU from my part dealer around the corner. For 152,91€ timing belt set is from INA (I wanted to actually have Conti, but the nice blonde lady said that you can either get Conti or INA and now only INA is there. She also said that this is equivalent and you have no problems) WAPU is from Meyle so I think there is no prob.. As said on Wednesday everything will be installed. n right away with change?? (cost 37€ , I find already a lot) Does anyone have experiences with INA ??? Pictures then come from change, since I have someone who will help me it will hopefully go well.

  • Fans Interior

    Meal, the following problem, the fan for the interior only works sporadically. If the car (motor) is running, then the fan does not work. If the car (2.0l problem) simply goes off while driving, then the interior fan goes on. So, tap that it will be an electrical problem. Backup? Cable breakage? Does anyone have a tip on where to search? I actually exclude fuse, because the fan is running when it is running out. Meanwhile, however, it is no longer running… A chso, is a 2.0l 136 HP Omega from 1998 (from my dad) with about 260,000 km.

  • Oil and oil exchangeinterval

    Hello, since a few weeks I have a new old Omega with the 2.2 16 V-machine. When the FOH was bought an oil-chewsel was carried out. According to the note in the engine compartment, Mobil1 0-W40 was filled. The next change is indicated after 30,000 km. Is that correct? I have so far always taken 10 W-40 with my old Omegas. Change-interval 15,000 km (but have always driven 20,000 km). So can I continue with 0-w40 and 30,000 km?

  • List of abbreviations

    Hello together, I have a very big problem Today I noticed a rubbing on the driveway of the BAB2. Driven directly up on the stand strip to avoid worse, but it was already too late… When checking the feet and tires a lot of me, that at the VA passenger side suddenly 3!!! screws were missing. All together tore down !!!!!! I almost suffered a shock Direct the ADAC called, who towed me also then promtly, since a ride with it is impossible. Now ste Is the question, how to the executioner can this happen???? I have always tightened all screws with a torque wrench in my workshop. So they can not have been overstretched!?! Theoretically. Also, these screws have been on the rims for a year, at that time bought extra new because of the cone waistband. There was also nothing noticeable, because something was wrong or similar, already a few thousand km with them…. Now a Hallennachb told me ar, that it might be possible that the rim could be broken and that the balance would increase the force on the screws and thus break. However, I can’t really follow that, although I’ve heard of something like that before. What do you say about it????? Fortunately, this happened on a driveway and in the traffic jam, not to think out what would have happened if everything had been free. That would certainly have brought me to the TV How can something like that happen??? rims are original. O pelfelgen, 225/45/17″ with 20mm track plates per front side. Greetings

  • Time delay relays

    Hi, have seen in the circuit plan that the headlight washing system is running over a so-called ‘time delay relay’. What exactly does this have to do? With my headlight washing system, there is no ‘time delay’: if I use the window washing system when the light is switched on (it happens more often at the moment), water is sprayed directly on the headlights, and immediately and for as long as I have pulled the switch. That can’t really be right, think e me, because by the fact that the headlight washing system has completely a lot of liquid out I have a animally high water and disc cleaner consumption and also the whole front car is so slow with window cleaner, so that it starts foaming with every moisture of itself. Greeting, guitarno

  • Idling problem warm – Rugging in case of humidity

    Hello people, have the following problem with the Opel Omega A 2.6 sportive: He tolls up and down shortly before death (about 200 revolutions) he catches himself with shaking and then turns up to 1500 high – then falls off immediately again. In this condition you can watch the tank needle, since this is the case the consumption has doubled. In the cold state it runs without problems. Attention, it only makes when it is warm. As long as the engine does not make it cold. Another problem is that he In wet weather it has a jerk at full gas. As if it runs only on 4 cylinders or the cylinders only half ignited. Lambda probe is new. Air mass meter replaced. Injection nozzles changed. Intake bridge seal renewed. He also pulls no wrong air. As said so he no longer consumes (if I remain something on gas instead of idle), therefore question, does the temperature sensor have an influence on the idle or is possibly the throttle flap pot defective? Does someone know similar Probl eme, has 183000 km is a C26NE hex with dual ram, 5-W40 oil.
