  • Oil change? Total bullshit!

    A good evening to all interested parties. I read here again and again in the forum questions like: “What is the best oil for our engines?” And again and again I could laugh at the naive answers. Almost ten years ago I did not make any oil change with my Corrado G60 over 70,000 self-driving kilometers on advice of the previous owner, a Porsche/Audi tuner with a well flourishing business. That used the car only in the winter. And when I sold the car with only almost 200,000km to a good mopped buddy, he did not change oil for further years. My last car (Astra F Caravan 1.6i 100hp) I left my father-in-law with 280.000km, the last oil change took place at almost 200,000km. Motor still has good compression, hardly any oil consumption, oil is never changed any more. Only the filter was changed once a year. Don’t believe their clueless shame? Already at that time the car picture made a long-term test with this result (was known to the tuner), at least 100000 times again.

  • TÜV Austria – I’m breaking down!

    Hellas together! People I was at the TÜV in Austria today to get an overall opinion for all changes, so that I can have everything typed. I got it straight over! Prehistory: Opel Omega B X20XEV Weitec suspension (allegedly according to expert report -30/-30mm) 8×17 rims with 235/40/R17 round 15 distance discs Now it comes: 1) The car is too deep according to TÜV Austria! At the KAT it is 85mm! In Austria everything is not allowed under 11cm. I had a WEITEC suspension installed, because I thought 30/30 are possible without problems. And now the ground distance at the KAT 85mm is not allowed. Conclusion: I don’t get the registration in the vehicle papers and have to drive “illegal” and hope that the police didn’t stop me at some point. But in front nothing looks out or like that. Mobility of the tyres is not an issue. Everything in the green area is not allowed. Conclusion: According to TÜV Austria, the distance discs are not allowed at the front either.

  • Error code 87 and 2 meanings found

    Hello guys, just come from work and my wife tells me the following: This morning she slipped away with the omi on smooth road with the stern. The engine went off and then did not jump immediately again. Only after about 1-2 minutes he jumped again without murmuring and runs since that also problemless. However now the MKL. Just flashed out the error code, he tells me error 87. Now I found here in the forum two meanings for it. Once 87 air conditioner shut-off relay – voltage too low and a second time something with “feather leg front left”. What’s right now and what’s going on here? Hope you can help me. Thanks and greeting Heiko

  • the viscofan – ask… 2,5td

    Hello, with my 2.5 td runs the viscolufter 10min. after cold start, with therefore always also at 15 degrees outside temp. I remember that my former BMW 325i – E30 also at 30 degrees outside temp. has not always run along. When the temperature goes up he turns fully with, then the clutch then leaves again however again, etc. only the 2.5 td (bmw tds machine) know eh probably all *gg*. turns always full with. Test I have already done, when cold is turns he smooth and no storage problems (test if is loose) fazit: viscolufter must be ok. I have looked here already many times since I am here but I have not found the answer to the question here: does the viscolufter run even at 15 degrees outside temp. always at the Omega 2.5 td with?? is it with yours also so? Considerable is also that it always indicates below 90 degrees (water) it never seems to be really warm. Info: heating goes very well?

  • 0% Opel service / repair financing

    Opel Forum: Hello, Opel has been offering a financing option for repairs via the RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland ). I talked to my friends about it, which more or less all drive an Opel. Now it happened to me and I needed a repair and then went to the dealer of my trust in Berlin (AH am Nordring ) there was offered the payment with the financing. I said I did not need to put any money on the table, what I thought was very good. There was explained to me how all this works. The consultant has entered my data into a system, which is probably directly from the bank. Only the normal questions were asked, how I live, where I work and how I imagine the repayment. He then entered this information into the system and within seconds he told me that the repair in the amount of 521,29€ can not be used by the small card service, and then the bank would probably recommend the money to the car house. In addition, I told myself that I now have a availability of € 1200, but that the card service can also be used by me in the next day.

  • Accept everything?

    Hello friends, have just tried a little the internet to find a few like-minded ones, how to fight against the price drive. I found a forum www.leben-ist-luxus.de where there was also an interesting link. http://itc3.napier.ac.uk/…/view_petition.asp?PetitionID=685 You can support a public petition with the Bundestag via this link by signing there. All beginning is difficult and this costs only 2 minutes time. By the way, within 5 minutes after me 70 people have already registered there. Just look at this link and give people a little more weight. Lead the link to all you know. Greeting Micha
