Hello must ask again here in the forum. I have a 1960 Oldsmobile Super 88 with a 394 cui. engine. The problem is. When I start it the engine makes a knocking “hard” metallic noise. And then still this ticking noise. So I notice that so. I once made a short video. Maybe someone had such a problem before? I know remote diagnostics are always bad to assess. But maybe someone has an idea. Happy Friday still.

Hello forum, after a long search in the net (not more hours but already days), I decided to open this topic, because unfortunately I did not get satisfactory answers from dealers or from forums. It is about my Dodge RAM-VAN B250 Camper-Van, year 1992 with 5.2l machine. The currently installed exhaust is soon at the “abgammeln” and should be replaced penetrated. Moreover, this is so quiet that I sometimes think the engine is off. uspuff, actually rather a turnout with manual (or electrical) operation, so that I have something of the V8 for short distances and can make it quiet on long distances as well as at the campsite (I am a considerate person). Space under the vehicle is enough, therefore I would imagine that I would go with a pipe into a normal, quiet silencer and with the bypass into a sports muffler. Also does not have to be in the 3-digit db range, wants only “a bissl blubber Can someone recommend a suitable system or “softness” to me? As I said, it doesn’t have to be too loud, so I think that the TÜV has nothing to complain about in case of a single decrease because of the volume and I don’t want to “screw” anything on cat/gas values. Thank you for your suggestions and suggestions. Robert

Hello together, As already announced, now starts the restoration of my 66 Bonneville! The goal is a possible original restoration, however with some improvements. For example, disc brakes, electronic ignition etc. should be pure. I would be happy to get here also one or other tips. I am not a beginner in this field, but you don’t know some things then. Also, we try to get pictures of the work progress here again and again. The “Dick Berta” has been deregistered since 1985 and is unfortunately quite over with regard to the interior, the paint and all seals, as well as engine seals. opposite is a body, which has only 4 small holes up to now: 1x in the trunk, 1 each on each fender and one on the front mask. However, the rear window falls out almost by itself. the disc frame is quite completely over and needs some work. The engine must be completely auseina. nder, as well as the axles, where all the rubbers are over. A lot of work, but the cart just did me…

Hello together This is my first post here and I’m happy to be with you now 🙂 I’m Stefan, just under 40 and since ever and ever big US-Car fan (although unfortunately with little idea :-). My latest achievement is a 95 T-Bird LX (4.6l). I’ve only been able to determine it a few days and so far no bigger flaws. Nevertheless, please allow me the following question: Currently the series wheels are mounted, which I basically nice, but optically a little bit small em pfinde. So I’m looking for nice 16 o. 17 inches and came up with the maybe simple solution during my “research”: Do there also (modern) Ford rims of other models with matching LK on it, or do I imagine that too simply? Third-party rims are probably rather not to be gotten, or did I just look wrong? I look forward to your inputs! If I did something wrong with my question, please let me know. add/correct. Many greetings 🙂

I will probably buy an ATS-V in the coming weeks, I sold my BMW M240i F22 a few days ago. The ATS is a number bigger and much more practical than Sedan with 4 doors and I just want to have one. Are there ATS(-V) drivers who want to share their experiences? Real consumption? Would you take it again?

My name is Steffen and I have 57 years on the hump. I have posted the topic before, but that was automatically assigned to the forum “Chevrolet”. I’m too stupid to postpone it, so I’ll make it here again. I think this is better kept. I hope that’s okay… yesterday I bought a new Chevy Van, which will be delivered tomorrow/after tomorrow. I sent the letter today. Now I wanted to allow the good piece straight away and I failed hopelessly at the first hurdle. I wanted to find out online a comprehensive insurance for the EVB number, but was absolutely unsuccessful. Neither about the HSN/TSN (1006/00000000) nor about the search for brand/model I got along with any insurance found online. The model is not listed. I insured almost all my other cars at the HUK24, but I come also The only thing I could have done with a delivery car insurance – for almost 4000,-€/year. That was of course not necessarily what I was looking for. Who can help me here. Is there a special insurance or is it just not online and I have to contact an insurance representative directly? Then this week will probably be nothing more. The vehicle is a Chevrolet Express Explor he with first registration 2015, 4×4 with LPG gas system and AHK. I am grateful for every tip…

Hello, I would like to buy a Mercury Marquis Brougham 6.6 (1977) from abroad. I was able to clarify a lot with the salesman and the TÜV inspector responsible for full acceptance in advance. But now the car has installed the hijackers. The TÜV Mann could not help me “from far away”. So now the question arises to me whether the car could have been equipped with the Hijackers 1977. I already got my fingers nailed, but unfortunately no Antw Oh yes, exact pictures, so which brand has been installed, I still get. Maybe someone can help me!? Greeting Volker

Hello, would like to buy me a Lincoln Town Car. I’ve been very excited about this car since my FS. Now I’m looking for one… but if there were still some questions for the Town Car drivers here. What should I pay attention to at nem Town Car 99er to 01er year of construction. Have looked at mobile.de and autoscout24 but not what I’m looking for. How much EUR should you expect? How about the spare parts as well as the conversion to LPG? Would you like to use mine in everyday life… Does anyone have experience? Would you also like to know what it looks like with the insurance? Any tips? I am grateful for all advice and suggestions!!! Icarob

A wonderful good day together, I am still completely new here, so please forgive me any mistakes But first I would like to introduce myself or my project briefly: alex, comes from the Rhineland, besides a mechanical training and mechanical engineering studies technically savvy, I would like to resurrect an old pony in a project. I have chosen a coupé of the model year 67 (Fastback is hardly affordable). But I would like to start with e uch, which you have perhaps already made such a project, exchange what is to be paid special attention, which costs are estimated to come to me and where you can search for basic models besides the well-known platforms like Mobile, Autoscout and Ebaykleinanzeigen. I imagined to buy a craft base up to approx. 1200€ and then to do what is necessary. Whether complete or rolling restoration I am not yet sure and will be able to do this at the condition of the object. I would like to do the work as far as possible myself – with the exception of painting (or is this advisable?). Perhaps you can give me some helpful tips and suggestions. Thank you very much already and greetings.

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
