Category: US Cars Forum

Hi, people I have a problem there and need your broad opinion. In February, exactly 7 months ago, I left my PA to the workshop, which repairs many American cars in the city, because the car simply ran out of me while driving. I commissioned the workshop to check what the car has, and if there is nothing serious then just to make the car float again. The factory stat resp.: the mechanic called me back to it and shared with that of the dare who ig Ignition sparks, he then listed: -Crankshaft Sensor -Crankshaft Sensor -Zündmodul -Zündverteiler -Zündkerzen -Neue Batterie Everything together incl. material 800,- EUR, and the dare Runs. It would be cheaper for me he meant, if I would organize the parts myself, which I also did. -Zündmodul, crankshaft Sensor, camshaft Sensor, I then organized everything myself. Now comes the hammer today I was there to see to the right, the mechanic was not there, d a tells me his Scheffin that the car has no compression on three cylinders and that probably the steering chain is torn, that confirms another mechanic that I have never seen before he added that it probably does not fix itself without the vehicle since it has so many kilometers (167355 TKM) So, the car still does not run, and I should still pay 915,- EURO that can be.???? Thank you for your answers in advance.

My battery is taking off so slowly – doesn’t last much longer… Now I thought to myself: No problem, let’s see what’s inside and what a part costs. So built in: Duralast Gold from the beginning of 2007 (actually no age) with 135 (!!!) Ah in a housing that actually only gives between 80 and 90. Does anyone know if the American amps are different than in Europe? Even the most expensive Varta don’t have 90 amps hours in size…

I urgently need a tip on how I can “relax” the tensioning roller to put the belt back on the pulley. Have tried everything, but nothing is moving. Can someone please help me? Unfortunately, I can’t get him into the workshop either…

I think that many of you have experienced funny things with your “ships”. Maybe some of you also want to give something for the best. I start. This morning I went to work with my Caddi Deville, where I always park in a Deutsche Bahn car park. The whole place was locked off for mowing 1 meter from the edge. I have problems with the size of my baby anyway, that he does not reach the driveway with his rear part. When then the gardener saw d When I actually wanted to park, he called all his boys together and cleaned up the place I wanted to put myself in with the words: “Wait, we’ll clean you up quickly, where else you should park with your ship”. That was perhaps a cool feeling. I put my little monster in the freshly cleaned & hedged parking lot. When I got out just one with his thick Mercedes came and waited to judge the looks on the same treat. g, but he did not get any attention. He put his mill with his muzzle in the bushes (scratch scratch) whereupon the gardener told him immediately that he should keep a distance of 1 meter from the barrier, the hedges must be cut afterwards….

Juhuu – I dared. …to import a car directly from the USA – A Lincoln Town Car, BJ 1988. Everything went quite smoothly until I went to the TÜV today. Full acceptance according to § 21. The good news : No technical defects – juhuuu! The but very bad news: The TÜV uncle does not like my red turn signals and suggests to me that I should install orange ones there… Great in theory, but practically not possible – then I also have a yellow brake license But I can’t imagine that I can see newer US cars driving through the area with their red turn signals again and again. In addition, it was complained that the standlight (blinker) is yellow. With my previous car (1987er Buick) it was the same, but I bought it already with German registration. Is it really true that I no longer have an exemption for the car? can get??? What do I do then??? Extra yellow rear blinker to grow??? Oh yes, for the side limit lights, in front of yellow, back red and the white side light in front, which is turned on when blinking, I could get an exception… I’m going mad…. Need HELP!!!!

Hello together Actually, I decided the other day for a Jaguar XF 3.0 Twinturbo Diesel with 275 hp (2012). I also love something with a CADILLAC ATS 2.0 T Premium Saloon! It also has 275 hp, consumes a bit more and is equipped with Bose system and DAB+ from the factory. I also like the Cadillac visually because it is simply different. Either you love the car or you find it ugly because of the edges. I like it! How do people react to your cars? How do you like it? is the above mentioned Cadillac reliable? A 4 cylinder won’t be as durable as a 6 cylinder? How expensive are the service costs or spare parts? Known problems? Thanks Lg

Hello together, I have the following problem. I bought an F250 truck. 7.3 liter IDI diesel with truck registration. The vehicle ran until my re-registration since 1995 as a truck. With me the office decided (automatically due to the 5 registered seats) on car. The result of it: 2744€ taxes annually. In short for whoever priceless! I have known, the e.g. RAM drive with a division of 50% loading area and 50% cabin, with also 6 seats. With real crewcab, i.e. 4 doors n and complete seats. All with lkw registration. 210€ annually. Now to my car: it is a one-and-a-half cabiner with 3 emergency seats. In addition, the ratio of loading area – cabin. LF: 2,7m; cabin 1,75m. The entire vehicle is over 6m long. On the communication was referred to paragraph 18(12) of the Kraftfharzeugsteuergesetz. Accordingly, my car should probably be a car after its determination, therefore the taxation. Objection was filed. If someone has had experience with such a thing and someone knows about it. How long does the processing of such a thing take? Does the customs make it possible to talk to them? On the phone I would be told that a demonstration at the customs office would be possible to show the official the characteristics of the truck. Who has driven such a thing and knows how the dimensions of the (load) surfaces know that this is all, but not a car. Greetings

Hello everyone, I have a question (oh wonder ), so: This year I want to make my dream come true and treat myself to a Ford Crown Victoria. I have been collecting information about this topic for a long time, but with one it is hard and indeed with the insurance. I wanted to get an offer from various insurance companies, but e.g. the alliance needs a photo of the vehicle license or letter to be able to make an offer. ( Reason: This car was never registered in DE, desw Of course I don’t have either of them yet, since I wanted to look at the prices of the insurance companies before the final purchase. Now to the question: Did your insurance company want to see the vehicle license/letter for the first time, in order to calculate a tariff, if yes, how did you solve the problem? Or did you already have your vehicles and had to “just” check the insurance companies? Or do I simply think too much about this and should he be buy a well-kept copy in peace and then clean the clinks first? Thank you for your efforts and contributions!

Hello, in order to save me maintenance work and to improve the reliability of my 68 Cadillac Coupe de Ville I would like to upgrade to a contactless transistor ignition. Only I know where I can get parts, installation instructions. Would also like to know how much it costs me and if I can install it myself without special tools or devices. Thanks already for the answers Greeting Tobi Cadillac

I’ve been reading the vehicle for two months already at Bosch. I’m finished with my Latin. Maybe someone can help me. Because it’s very modest if you have 325 hp but it only drives up to 128 kmh.
