hello, as the cover already says, I would like to receive from you proposals for serious importers for used vehicles from the USA. very important for me would be someone who does not collect the sum immediately in advance, but, where you can pay train or just after arrival in Germany. my respective inquiries at companies unfortunately did not bring the desired success, since I should always get in advance with all the companies in question and I do not bear the risk möc hte that a crook makes himself out of the dust and then I have no money, or the company suddenly registers during the import insolvency and I am allowed to join the long line of the faithful and then may not see anything more. the companies in turn justify their attitude by having made bad experiences with regard to the payment morale of pre-orderers, who then may not take off the vehicle or complain about anything about the price after delivery The idea came to me with a loyal dealer, but I would like to turn on a loyal dealer of my choice and not one who does a common thing with the import company, because that would be just as uncertain in my eyes and would drive the costs senselessly to the height. In summary it is sought: -serious importer with references, who takes over the complete processing with contractual protection. (would like to choose the vehicle itself by autotrader or cars.com). pletthandling would be before place check of the vehicle,purchase,transport to the nearest port,shipping and formalities in overseas,as well as in Germany. -recommended payment of an amount,but not the total amount. -facilitator of my choice or a neutral loyal dealer, who manages the sum until the receipt of the goods. I now ask you for suggestions and tips, maybe you have already successfully imported a vehicle at such a company and also stood before the problem that you can so vi el money doesn’t just want to entrust any company. does anyone know reliable trust companies? in question upcoming importers? the tüv upgrade would be able to carry out the workshop of my trust. hope to answer helpfully. nice greetings Vinz

Hello, does someone have a conversion instruction for the rear lights on a 2012 Mustang? Especially, how can I deactivate the sequential turn signals and make the turn signals to flash yellow? Have many US cars been converted but the SJB (Smart Junction Box) at the 2012 Mustang makes me despair. The SJB should actually be programmable, but I don’t find any software for it (Ford Europa is of course the wrong contact person). inen Tip gives me who enters the OEM turn signal (pay for the tip as well). PN would be great!!!! Is urgent, since the mustang should be my everyday car and I can not get it through the TÜV. Thank you already in advance, JJ

Servus, I’ve been looking on the net and here in the forum for a while now, but I’m not that smart. Summer will soon come back and I want to replace the winter rims and pack a different tire size directly on it. Entered and driven is currently in front and rear 255/40 r19 u d as rim 19×9.0 , et I don’t know of the unfortunately. I would like to drive for the summer 20 inches. Since I plan to upgrade the brembo also in the future, I don’t know how the e I would like to drive 285/40 in the back and just keep 255/40 in the front. What do I have to pay attention to now when buying rims? Would not like to drive different rim sizes at the front and rear. According to a table in the net, therefore, a 20×10 rim for 255 and 285 is enough. How high can the Et be? In the net are several with et30 or et42 or et50. That I have to go to TÜV is clear to me, just don’t want to have any problems there and just as little i Find out for a year that the brembosattel doesn’t fit now Can you help me?

I’ve been having the problem for a long time that my LT1 machine when it’s warm runs from 70 km unround, when it’s gas, it usually swallows up and only takes up the gas a short time later. If you stay constantly from 70 to the gas, this doesn’t happen, even if you start slowly like in traffic jams. I’ve also observed that when it switches into the overdrive and the speed keeps the same happens. At speeds below 70 km there’s no problem. chon several times the candles and cables exchanged, 2x Optispark, head seal renewed, but problem is not to get away. Who can give me a solution here ?

Servus! Had this posted earlier in the wrong forum, unfortunately! Up to now always diligently read and was often grateful for the many tips. Now I have a problem, which I can not correctly assign up to now. I drive a mustang gt from 2013, which has 60tkm and apart from a slight unround idle and quite rarely times with full gas the mkl flash, (not glow!) Lets and meanwhile takes no gas, after two seconds it disappears and everything is normal. Suit is also well. Now I have read out error codes P0113 P0103 P0300 P0301 I have cleaned the LMM up to now and checked it once, which seems to work. Spark plugs are changed. However, an ignition coil has a slight hair crack, is that relevant? I hope that he has no tune on it, but I don’t know. How could I test this without special tools? Fear that he has one, because when I buy from the previous owner a CAI and a larger throttle flap from bbk But it should have been imported by the USA at that time. Everything was also expanded and very dusty. And another question. About ebay I bought a heckspoiler for just under 250€ in gt500 style, this seems to be made of polypropylene, looks quite thin and hollow. I wonder if he can meet his requirement and keeps up with the weather in the long run (because of the cold, pp should become brittle quickly). If you need more information, please let me know. Thank you very much ! Lg Sascha

Good morning you loved one ! the following problem with my 63er Impala, he does without problems no matter warm or cold, in N he takes on the gas super as soon as I go on D or R it drains off. But can find here no regularity so no matter whether cold warm – sometimes he runs net. Freu mich über Hilfe – schöne Greetings

Hello; I’m still crazy My Cadillac SRX 4.6 V8 2007 has misignition on cylinder 1 but only in idle from 1100 u/min it is gone. (Look with a diagnostic device number of misignitions). In cold condition it runs really nice… as soon as the warm gets, it gets better.. But it does not disappear completely. It was made: spark plugs, ignition coils complete and injection valves crosswise swaps no success. Compression on all 8 cylinders super and evenly +-0.3 Bar mileage 143 tkm Has anyone ever had the same ? Love greetings

Hello, I would need help. At my Cadillac Seville year 1978, injection (not the best) the following resulted. I have the car in the workshop in Munich, because it starts cold bad and also the crusher seals have to be replaced. The following resulted: The screws for the crusher have been torn down and have to be renewed. I already agreed. In doing so, the upper engine block had to be removed. An engine cleaning and overhaul with camshaft, control chain set, camshaft bearing, pleul bearing, crankshaft bearing, lifter, oil tank, motor sealing kit etc. are required due to the condition of the engine. In addition, alternator, engine installation and working time. In addition, gasoline pump. If everything is fixed, it should still be measured, why it starts badly, probably because of 2 sensors (everything would need 10 hours?) My question: How high sin d approx. the engine repair costs and total cost. It concerns me that I have an indication of the costs and the workshop does not require utopian prices. What cost framework is this about about??? Thank you

Hello, have in my Express (1998, 5.7, petrol + LPG) installed at the moment a Varta Black ProMotive (H9, 12V, 100AH, 720A), which unfortunately after approx. 2 years already gives up the mind so slowly. I was in a workshop by mistake deep discharge (but I couldn’t prove it) and since then it doesn’t want to be so right. Anyway, I don’t want to get angry with them, but simply a new battery. What can you recommend? Can I also easily to the AGM models of Exide ZB Exide EK950 AGM-Battery 95Ah or VARTA G14 Silver Dynamic AGM 595 901 085 Autobattery 95Ah? I know here are much the Optima recommended, but they are also price again significantly more expensive. Best regards!

Hello together, I will soon move back from the USA to Germany. I have here a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST with following modifications. Leveling kit (approx. 7.5 cm higher), Corsa sports exhaust system and original Chevrolet Silverado rims but in 20″ which is probably not original in Germany for this vehicle… I have tried to talk to the TÜV several times and also some companies that convert vehicles in Germany, however you can hear again and again something a nderes and the price differences are huge. For information, according to TÜV, there is already a data sheet for this vehicle, of course in the original condition. Now to my question, someone knows what costs will come to me if I want to allow the vehicle here? Purely only the TÜV expert report / approval with possibly necessary individual acceptance. I already know what the conversion of the lighting system etc. costs. I really only have to deal with the registration costs and what can happen there. Let’s go ahead, Manuel.
