  • New Clio – How long to drive in?

    N ́Evening! Tomorrow it’s finally time. I get my new Renault Clio – Night and Day. A 1.2 engine with Turbo. I’m really excited. However, the questions now ask me how do I drive the one best? It’s called you have to drive the engine properly? That’s how? And how many kilometers? So when can you say “he’s hit? ” Maybe someone like me also treats the Turbo best? There are also the great rules. I look forward to your answers.

  • Track adjustment not possible after accident

    Hey together, we had a slight accident, whereby the driveway was taken in the roundabout. The lady drove in the front with approx. 30 km/h into the side, after which fenders were demolished and the headlight was broken. At the rim there is also a hit. After that the steering wheel stood crooked (straight drive and steering wheel slightly to the right) and the rim/tires showed slightly inward. I have therefore on both sides lateral handlebars, coupling rods, track rods and track rod heads After the change the position of the steering wheel and the VR rim was of course the same. So I drove to ATU for axle measurement including setting. Here I was informed that the track can not be adjusted at the front right and the track rod was probably already turned to the stop. Finding out what this might be, would cost 300-400 euros, because there you would have to disassemble everything again in order to check whether the parts are correct. before installation, I compared the old parts (originally ex works). The steering gear unit itself does not make any noise and works clean. The ATU master said that the steering gear could be offset, as this could be extended if you change the track rods. However, I did not do with the steering gear unit. So, what else could it be, that the track can not be adjusted? And how could I possibly determine it myself? In the appendix is the survey procedure. Tokoll of ATU. If still pictures or statements are necessary, please say. Thank you very much.

  • Purchase advice

    Hello have seen the following car. Ford KA base KLIMA/TÜV NEW/1HAND/SERVO First registration: 09/2007 Kilometer level: 89,800 km Fuel type: Petrol Power: 44 kW (60 hp) Price: 1,650 € Does not look rusty from the outside, is a dealer and makes the TÜV new. I know that the twingo, and VW polo good cars are just surpassing my budget. It’s my first car, and I don’t know very much. If the car lasts 2 years then I’m already satisfied, expect more ic h not. Can I expect something from the car half way or should I rather take a polo with more kilometers? It is important that the car still holds a certain time. My driving performance is about 10,000 each year. Since I have seen that there are still some models on the road with 17000 km, could it be that I could still have some years of pleasure with the model or? Thank you already in advance for the answers.

  • Door handle outside without function, Ford Ka passenger side

    Hello My friend’s 98’s Ka is the door handle outside on the passenger side without any function! But the Ka can still be opened and locked by ZV at this door with the key, only then you have to open the door from the inside on the handle. I think there is only something unmounted or something like that? First wanted to ask before I remove the door panel. For this I have already found a guide here. Oh yes, by the way, the driver door can rarely be locked with the key. You have to lock up from the passenger side anyway. The next time you go again. Maybe someone can help me there. Thank you Markus & Anna
