  • Servo hose Disadvantage of defects

    Good day dear MT user. When I got to eat at the golden seagull yesterday, I suddenly heard such a funny noise while steering. I quickly parked in order to prevent anyone from getting there. The Yellow Angels dragged me to the car dealership at night. This morning I got the call from the car dealership that burst the servo hose. Cost for the hose 100€ + 400€ installation. Well, my question is therefore. I got the car at the beginning of December 2008 at an Autoha We bought it from me around the corner. In addition, the dealers usually gave us warranty in kind and I also made a car warranty. However, the car warranty does not apply for the damage, if it had been the servo pump then yes. Well, long talk short sense. my question is. Holds for the lack the car dealership where I bought the car. MFG Rico

  • Does that count as overtaking the right??

    Hello forum! I would like to describe to you a situation that comes almost every day on my way home. So: Means the A59, direction Bonn -> Cologne. Between the junction Wahn and airport the road is 3 lanes. That is, the stand strip was prepared as a lane. There are signs that in 2000m the right lane will lead to the departure and only the middle and left further. I have to leave airport, so order me right one. If I now drive the allowed 100 right there, I would overtake a lot of vehicles to the right which drive further towards Cologne. I order myself to the right because: 1.) Right-hand driving bid 2.) Do I drive at the end of the 3 lanes yes from the A59. So the right-hand crossing is when I drive past the vehicles which just because of the signs do not change to the right but stay on the middle lane? As I said I drive at the end of the track off the train! I am a MfG Surfkiller20 P.S: I can’t take pictures during the ride. So I link to photos from the motorway atlas. You can see them HERE. The first two photos show the situation very nicely.

  • What to do with pushers ??

    Hello, I have a question how to behave best when one of you is close to driving, or if “light” braking is allowed? I was on the A60 on the way this morning, so around 140km/h fast, when I wanted to overtake a column of trucks. Before changing lanes I saw a black Audi from even greater distance, which was a little faster (~30km/h) than I was, but still relatively far away. So I set to overtake and drove on the left After I overtook the first truck, however, the Audi drove me very close, better said he drove towards me without slowing down speed and then brake strongly. he then drove at about 140km/h half a meter behind me which made me really scared, because I didn’t even see the headlights, but only the windshield of the backman. I saw the rear of the car and the rear of the car. At first a second honked to make the backman clear, to keep a little bit more distance. However, this was answered with back honk and light honk. Then I broke the overtaking process, I took the foot off the gas and pressed the brake to the pressure point and under constant horned the speed “easy” but steadily reduced and shunted behind the truck against a. The idiot then of course honked back and constantly pressed the light honk, through the rear mirror could ic h look that this was wild in his prolet-car on the gesticulation. He looked kind of funny…… .. after all, he didn’t want to have me in front of him. Was my behaviour allowed???? I couldn’t drive faster at the moment, because I had a car in front of me and the Audi so drove you up so that it would have been too dangerous to keep driving. If this full idiot had left at least 5 m behind me, then I wouldn’t have been so excited, but half a meter was really not very much at 140. It’s not as if I had blocked the left lane at 80 km/h alone, then I could have understood that if you made clear with light and horny times to the frontman, which is in Germany Reichsfahrgebot. I am every year about 30,000km on the road and meet constantly on such idiots which are simply too stupid to keep distance.

  • Drive semi-automatics with automatic driver’s license?

    I think I’ll put this in here, should be the most suitable section. To the topic: A neighbor of us wants to make a new attempt to make the car driver’s license and consider having to train on automatic vehicles based on a tip from her father. Therefore, to my knowledge, she should drive only automatic vehicles later. But how does this work with automated gears (half-automatic)? These can be operated automatically or you can drive them automatically. switch manually (by manually triggering the switching process with “+” or “-“), you just don’t have to couple any more, this is still done automatically (there is no clutch pedal). We were a bit at a loss now whether you can drive semi-automatics with a car driver license limited to automatic vehicles (they are somehow automatic and somehow also not…) or whether the driving licence only refers to full automatics (converter gearboxes). Or semi-automatics only in the automatic mode (so not in manual mode, how did you want to control it?) or or or. Does anyone else know? I told her not to take the lead on automatic vehicles, because you restrict yourself quite strongly for later and the advantage of automatics in driving school lasts at most a few hours (namely the “train phase” for the conventional coupling and switching), the disadvantage of being allowed to drive only automatic vehicles, but possibly for a lifetime. question (see above) is still unresolved in the room. Ciao!

  • Suspicion of subsequent change in vehicle –> 3 points+75€??

    Hello everybody! a tüv forum or similar I didn’t find, so it will probably fit best here: a colleague of mine came with my car in a police control – standard control. They examined the vehicle (it is a little deeper, track broadening + thicker flaps) and started to nagging directly: they thought it would be thought that the rear tyres were not sufficiently free-accessible, as rubber tracks on the inner wheelbox are to be seen. The fact is: on my car everything is 100% registered (was at the tuv south) and nothing has been subsequently manipulated or similar (would not have had the know-how). The rubber tracks could at most stir therefore, that the car was temporarily overloaded during a move – however, it may also be that this is still from the previous owner. The fact is that it is so registered and since nothing has been changed. threatened penalty: 3 points and 75 euros…! I must probably go to the tuv/dekra and there is a pre-freeze certificate, which from which is filled out after the inspection and then goes to the registration office+ from there again to the police. I understandably am a bit upset, since the accusations really do not apply in the least. does someone have experiences with similar or. knows if this often happens that the police is wrong? I am most interested in how those will react to the tuev/dekra… after all everything is registered and you can not just assume that the In addition, it is important to note that there is a need to ensure that the data are either waste or that “what has been changed” has been introduced. mfg, ben

  • Right-front left??? Yes, no, maybe, but only on rainy days…

    So, dear forum, after I have come across such a super clear “right-for-left”?: yes, no, probably, only on rainy days”-street, here is a nice photo of the great place. To orientation: the first entrance on the photo quite sharply to the right leads in fact into the pedestrian zone (but unfortunately it is not around this one!), the entrance leads immediately afterwards to the right – as you can see – to a public parking lot (note the “Ein railway roads sign and the “not lowered, because interrupted” curb!!!!) and the entrance behind from the right is of course the exit of this parking lot, nicely marked with the red “here-to-here-I-not-go in, but come out” sign. Other front signs, which are covered by trees or only on even days, there is unfortunately no. So, volunteers before, who can provide information about right-front-left, driveway, etc for this great exit from the Parkpl and explain the “one-way street” sign and also the “here-come-you-not-pure” sign plausibly?

  • Curving – Stupidness or inability to steer?

    Hello municipality! When I look at what is currently going on with corner cutters on Germany’s country roads, then the above question pushes itself on me massively. There the people drive to a good third of their vehicle on the counterroad and look at you also completely outraged, if you “wag” it to come to them. And that then you do not drive also promptly into the ditch, to make room for them then is the summit. And as we all know from the American films, the vehicle explodes immediately. 🙄 If people are not able to drive a winding track at 80km/h, why don’t these arm lights slow down? Do you worry, someone thinks they’re a failure or what? Some of them are also on the tracks with 50 nic Does he be able to stay in their tracks (and no! I’m not talking about 80-year-old grandma, I’m talking about people between 20 and 50!). Does anyone have a reasonable explanation???

  • Properly slow down

    Hello! I have been driving an automatic car for about 2 weeks now. I used to use the engine brake very often, which I only rarely do with the new car. I do have Tiptronic and switch off from time to time to use the engine brake, nevertheless I brake significantly more, than with my previous switchcar. Now I wanted to ask how to brake properly. Is it better to brake easily and for that longer or should one brake late and then stronger? feel that the brakes have vibrated more with my cars than with other people. This often comes from the fact that you have warped brake discs, which come from too warm brakes. I want to avoid this now. I am also currently someone who slows down for a long time – not so strong for it. Would be nice if someone knows how to brake the most resource-friendly. // Joscha

  • Noise from the rear tire.

    Hello. I bolted on my Punto winter tires a few days ago. Yesterday, after a curve from the rear right wheel, some loud scratch noises came, I even thought that the exhaust fell off. I just tried again, the noises don’t always come, sometimes it just squeaks, so I took off the tire to see if it might be wrong. But if you turn with your hand to the thing where the wheel is screwed , you can hear any noises, as if there was a loose item in the brake or something. Does anyone here know what it might be and whether you can fix it yourself somehow or should I rather drive into the workshop before the brake fails?

  • Threshold damaged by workshop

    Hello, I had my car lift up with a lift in a workshop because I wanted to write down the serial number of the shock absorbers (because the workshop then ordered it and installed it) When the car was then up I noticed that something was jammed between the sill and the transducer, I thought that some thick foam rubber was part of it against sucking. When the car was down then the workshop man took the thing away and threw it into the other transducer (there it sounded then like a st one or metal.) At first glance I could not see anything from above. when I went around the car today I discovered the following: see photos How big is the damage? Do I have to spat and overpaint myself, or is the threshold completely new due? Because if I have a frontal accident then the impact energy is completely on it in this small spot or? So the stability is not restored by spatling, is it? Is there any other way? he reports or investigations?
