  • Constant pressure in the cooling water tank

    Hello to each other, my Grandland X has been preparing me for a long time and no workshop can tell me the exact reason for this. It started with the temperature display from 90 degrees for a second to the very top and passed again to 90 degrees and then into the “emergency run”. I then parked my car and checked the cooling liquid. On my visit to the workshop the timing belt and the water pump were replaced. About 2 months later w I am back on the highway and the same game again from the front. Now I get different opinions and since these repairs all cost a lot of money I hope that someone can help me from you. One workshop talks about the AGR valve the other from the thermostat and another from the cylinder head seal. All these repairs are very expensive. Currently I can drive short distances (about 6 kilometers) without problems. As soon as the temperature but 90 degrees he that’s my alarm signal where I then know that there is no water in the cooling water tank. As soon as I stop and release pressure carefully, the cooling water rises and I have to record a minimal loss. My Grandland is currently in a workshop and the engine has not been “pressed” any loss. This procedure is now still made with smoke and absolutely sure to go, that the cylinder head seal is complete. I am an absolute lender. Before I get another possibility I hope to receive an answer from you.

  • Only Navi OR Rearview Camera

    Hello, last November we decided for the Granflsnd X. When we wanted to order, however, there was just the new price list and conversion. With the new version of the innovation with lower price, but also much lower equipment, we could only choose between Navi OR rear camera. To get both, we now have to order either a business equipment or the Ultimate variant. We can not approve of this price policy. Can anyone say something about this??? Why is that, after all, it is the second most expensive equipment variant!

  • 13.8 l Consumption of pure petrol drive from Opel Grandland X 1.6 Plug-in Hybrid Ultimate 4×4

    Hello, since October 2023 I have a Opel Grandland X 1.6 Plug-in Hybrid Ultimate 4×4 from January 2020 which has now driven 21tkm. I do not charge the car constantly with electricity, because I have no charging station at my home. Now I have noticed in the last months that if I drive without electricity (I have extra fuel fillings without charging) , the car has a consumption in the city of 13.8 l. And this high consumption is constant – however I drive only in the city. I do not stand so much in the traffic jam, but also have no long distances – so more like 4 kilometers. What do you say about the consumption? Isn’t it extremely high? What can this be and what should be controlled. Thank you for your knowledge and your answers!

  • Luggage compartment subdivision Traveller

    Dear Forists, a Traveller owner can help us: Is there a stable, so also to be loaded, trunk subdivision? So almost 2 floors? The brother at Citroën didn’t have that, but I have already seen videos where a subdivision in the trunk of the Traveller could be seen. Thanks in advance for your help Thilot

  • Keyless-Entry Spacetourer

    Had the problem several times now that the door handle sensors of driver and passenger door did not work for the keyless entry. When opening/opening the door did not open – but the sliding door was immediately (so the key was detected). And it was not possible to close it either. On the next trip it worked again – and then one day later it didn’t work again. Does anyone know the problem?

  • Winter complete wheels Spacetourer, aluminium wheels, COC

    We want to buy our new Spacetourer winter tyres. As complete wheels for me aluminium rims. My problem: if I search in the various online shops for complete wheels for the Spacetourer I get (depending on the shop) different rims offered. However, all do not fit from the combination of the information to those in the COC. There is required: 7.00×16 ET46 Or 7.00×17 ET46 I have already found some with 7.00, but with a press-in depth of 37, instead of 46. Does someone have a tip where there is such a thing? And why do the tyre shops suggest other rims, although I have selected the Spacetourer as model? Thank you.

  • Car purchase-On the way of the right decision.

    Hello together, after having been helped in the Ford Forum, I try my luck right here. Since you always read a lot about problems in forums, I would like to ask you about your experiences here. What are the tops or flops? To me… I’m looking for a new car because my VW Jetta will become a piggy bank after 15 years. In my search I have already come across Ford Kuga/EcoSport. Now I found the new Mokka very attractive. Financially it would fit to the approx. 2000€ budget. I drive Quad and my free time and would like to pull a hanger. Also I need enough space as soon as the family grows. I look forward to your experience values, opinions and suggestions!

  • Mokka-e all-year tires

    That’s because I think that others might be faced with the same decision. I decided to exchange the summer tyres on our mokka-e directly for all-year tyres (GJR). In the Rhine-Main area, the snow days are manageable and we managed quite well on other vehicles with GJR. If someone asks, there is no special GJR for electric vehicles. However, you have to pay attention to reinforced tyres (often with XL in the name) . Otherwise, just the dimension which are registered on the rims and the load index. The speed index is rather irrelevant. I personally decided for the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF 2 215/55 R18 99V XL . This is one of the few “premium tires” which has both rolling resistance and wet grip class B. Of course, this can not keep with a Michelin Primacy 4 with rolling resistance A, but I still know the more consumption than second car should be painful in the urban environment. However, the tire also has a more proud price of 130€/piece. If the wheel resistance is not more expensive to me. If I try to buy a new car from Michelin.

  • Demand for used Adam is not exactly great?

    We bought in March 2014 a great equipped Opel Adam Slam with the 100 HP machine and also missed him a great equipment, the UPE is after all 18.500 Euro. Of course as a new car. I want to sell it now after 9 months, but have not even received a single offer on my ad. That’s already kind of bitter, really thought, that the can be sold again well, but Pustekuchen. The FOH would offer me 11,000 Euro for the car, this is a bad joke, but shows probably, that the part could become a shopkeeper. What experiences did you make? Cheap shopping? Good or bad selling?
