Hi together, I hope you can help me with a few tips.My Caddy (STS Bj 98 with 245,000Km) has a temperature problem, behind which I have not yet come. Here is a description of the problem. I often travel on highways. When I drive the Caddy speed and then come into a slow column (80-100 km/h) the temperature pops up so high in the shortest time that the DIC brings the message “engine overheated / idle recommended”. When I drive on after a few minutes (possibly more than 110 km/h), the temperature goes down. A few days ago, I drove comfortably over country roads. After 10 km (very comfortable driving, engine was certainly not really warm) then at a traffic light also the temp. briefly went up. After the further drive the temperature has normalized again. Which is certainly still important: When the temperature blows up, only cold air comes out of the heater ystem. When I travel comfortably at 150 km/h, nothing happens. Nor any problems in the city traffic (stop and go….) The problems do not always occur by the way…… I don’t believe in the cylinder head screws in this case. The cylinder head seal should also be OK. No bubbles in the cooling water, No water in the oil or vice versa. I am happy about any reasonable tip. Greetings from the district HN Martin

Hello dear community The Ford Crown Vic, as the last representative of the classic Yellow Cab, Full Size Sedan in New York is consecrated to death. Since the New York City Taxi Commision issues only one license as a taxi for three years per VIN number at New Cars, the Crown Vic is no longer built as a taxi, no new ones will come into circulation. By 2012 all NYC Cabs hybrid vehicles are supposed to be. So it will be time to secure one before this genus finally disappears from the streets of New York I intend to get a Crown Vic from currently 20000 NYC Cabs. With an average annual speed of about 80000Miles it will be time now. I am looking for a data sheet for full acceptance in Germany. As far as possible with Euro 4 It will be a 2006/7 Crown Victoria with the long wheelbase and the low compressed 4.6 modular V8. Who can give me some helpful information about the approval in Germany. Before for all answers already thanks e.

Hello guys, I got a little familiar with my new arrival, a Silverado K2500 6.2L diesel from 1988. The technology is then a lot easier and more mechanical than in my Crown Vic. I noticed now that something is wrong with the gearbox. Often the converter bridge does not close at all. You notice this clearly in the 3rd gear. Then the engine turns up forever and the box doesn’t get right off the spot. Occasionally it still works and from 60km/h the In the last gear at about 80km/h it is often undecided, whether WAÜ on or too. The funny thing is that the bridge works better, if the car has driven a few kilometers of highway or if it has been accelerated to 100km/h in the kickdown. The transmission is quite new and the oil I have checked several times, that fits now too. The big question is how the gearbox gets its signal, that it now switches The pickup has a maintenance jam. I have ordered everything for a service, so all filters and the glow candles. I’ve been looking for a long time now, but Google doesn’t spit out what I’m looking for. I’d be really grateful for your advice.

Greetings, I drive a 2000 of the F150, have electronic problems, the rev indicator just blows up, the engine oil control lamp lights up and the pointer goes up and down briefly, mostly, shortly after the start. The mileage indicator just goes off and then on again, but the main problem is an experience that just went out of my mind shortly after the start of the engine (immobilizer). Had car already in Boschwerkstatt, changed speed sensor, without success! I don’t know, thank you.

Hello dear community, the following situation: My company has bought an American school bus and it has already been transported to us from America. Now I stand before the mammoth task to bring this here in Germany on the road and to allow (Motorb needed AU, braking system, etc., etc.). Of course this should happen cost-effectively. The aim of the bus is with customers over the company premises and through the public transport in the immediate vicinity of the company premises. for promotion purposes. Probably it will not move more than 1000km a year. – US-Schoolbus Blue Bird Model 3000 BJ 2001 Do you have maybe tips or tricks on how to simplify the way of admission ? Is there something like a long-term special permit ? Other suggestions ? Thank you already in advance…

Hello people… 2 weeks ago I found my dream car. After years of v6 driving (which is also not bad) finally horny LS1-V8 bubbern. The car has the original US exhaust system, is registered with 93dB in the papers and goes off like s…. And the most important thing: you see this model on Swiss roads relatively rarely… Unfortunately he has to wait until spring in the garage.

Hi, here’s what I said a couple of weeks ago, I already said that I’m looking for an Ami. Anyway, I browse and browse day after day and I noticed that the Chargers in particular have a fuel consumption of 25-27 liters. So at least in all the magazines I read. However, I see on the other hand reports from guys who claim they drive their Impala with 14 liters ifs well, and if you press it, just run times 20 liters pure. But 27?! So much consumes n old camper from the 70s. And yes I already know, “that as an ami driver one should not really think of the fuel in an ecological way”. But would still be allowed to inform me. PS: Probably runs out in terms of final decision on a Buick LeSabre/Wildcat or Chevy Impala. Greetings, Fab

Hello together, I’ve noticed that it’s probably more useful to create a special topic for this. Would like to draw attention here again to the fact that we (a few buddies and my littleness) decided to create a US PICK UP TRUCK COMMUNITY in Cologne called “The Heartbeat of America”. Of course, there are various Us-Car and Van Clubs. But somehow the PU ́s always seem to be too short… Of course all US car-obsessed people are or welcome Harley freaks, but first and foremost it’s about the topic of US Pick Up. We don’t intend to create a club and thus bind members or commit them in any way. The idea is simply to make contacts to meet either spontaneously or planned for a personal “motor-talk”. Currently we are still looking for a suitable location, far from a Burger King or McDonald ́s restaurants. You can get here in advance. al post, as you stand so to this idea, so that we “hear” how it arrives at you. As soon as we have found a suitable place, I let you know… Greetings from Cologne PS: The Internet address indicated on the LOGO is not activated yet!!
