Hello dear forum, my father bought a new car in 04/19, Renault Captur. After only a few months he noticed that the reference from the seat looked very damaged and used more and more, although the car was rarely driven and that in “normal” clothes, i.e. not in work clothes from the construction industry or the like. After not even 6,000km, and about 1 year after the purchase, was then changed by the resident dealer, the reference from the seat at the expense of the car dealer / Renault. Well, not even 1,000km and only 4 months later, the new reference is now as damaged as the previously exchanged one. Do you know this problem and have experience in this regard? What measures could one insist on from the side of the car dealership? I hope someone can help. Pictures in the appendix.

Run operating warm engine in standby
Hello, I have a question of a purely theoretical nature: Now in winter you see people at the motorway parking lots again and again, e.g. without heating, who sleep in the car after hours of driving. They let the engine run because of the heating. I don’t have it before, but I always ask myself: Does this do nothing to the engine? Possibly petrol in the oil or other problems? As I said, only asked for so much interest.

vmax 85kW engine
Hello, has someone already used the 85kW engine and checked the top speed by means of GPS? I’m just about to choose from: Adam Slam 85kW or Toyota Auris (97kW) – both very well equipped and about similar price. The Auris goes real 202 (even tested with GPS on a short motorway exit on the A8 near Munich). However, with the Adam 66kW I found a clear speedometer forward (partly over 15km/h) at motorway speed – but can also have been located on the small winter bikes.

Configurator – each ADAM is unique
Hello dear ADAM fans! I’m just thrilled by the ADAM configurator, never has configured so much joy. I don’t have any serious intentions to buy one, but I present my personalized ADAM anyway. Would be nice if you would show your “unique” here as well. The “uniques” may of course also be evaluated Here is the link to the confi (is unfortunately still hidden something):ADAM configurator Only critical point to the confi: At the end of the summary you could insert a link “gallery” where you can see pictures from inside and outside of the configured Adam and a confi code (as in the competition) would not be wrong. So and now my ADAM:

Automatic parking aid is not possible
So, today I received my Adam Glam ordered at the end of May. Immediately I wanted to try out the ordered automatic parking aid, but I can’t get it to run. If the button is slow and pressed long, only the message “park help is not available”, at > 30 km/h comes the warning message that I’m driving too fast for the parking aid. I can rule out that the option is simply missing, the sensors at the front and at the rear are available, and the dead angle alarm in the package is also available and works. In the accessible configuration the “park help” is also activated. Do you have an idea? I don’t think I’m doing something wrong. Has Opel not even tested this before delivery? Maybe just disabled in the configuration accessible only by dealer-diagnose device? Thank you! Ciao, Jan

a few questions about the equipment
Hello. I’m about to buy the Slam with 87 hp without a start/stop. I’m not sure about some features yet and I’d like to ask a few questions about it. 1)Is the Slam with 87 hp standard? In the 2012 price list it’s included, in the summary in the configurator I find nothing more about it 2)I’d like to add the spare wheel to it. Is the already small boot even smaller? 3)Is the tyre pressure control system recommended? Sometimes it’s considered good, sometimes not. Some complain that there’s a constant warning noise in case of a slight deviation. Is the system also deactivable? Because you also need winter tires that are suitable for the system, they are much more expensive? 4)I’m still considering whether I keep the standard radio or pay the 300€ surcharge for this intellilink. I’ve already read a lot about it here, both pre- and cons. I wouldn’t want to use it as a Navi, since I don’t have a mobile device that supports it. But I can’t use it for a new device or a new one.

Preparing Sl for hibernation
Moin unfortunately I only had 04-10 this year and will now send the SL to the deep sleep next year I will certainly increase 03-11 but my question is now how I get the SL 500 well over the winter. It is in an over large carport so not directly the weather set out. I got 2 automatic chargers for the two batteries and wanted to just hang them in parallel to the batteries (without the clamp off ), that’s not a problem or? To cover I will get an indoor cover inside very soft because I have made bad experience with outdoor (fine scratches in the paint ) sowashttp://www.ebay.de/itm/350872073621?… or there are better recommendations? Cooling water… is OK and the tire pressure I will also increase is something else to consider? now and then start? thank you in advance?

First car for ~15000€
So, hello to everyone, because this is my first post here and I hope that I have taken the right subforum. On the topic: I now have my driver’s license in my pocket and am now looking for my first car. To this I would like to say that I would like to buy a new car or an annual car with a few kilometers. Therefore a small car would probably be the right choice. What can you recommend me there? Of course he should consume little. On special equipment I do not put sooo much worth, but a little bit of comfort (air conditioning system, electric window lift in front etc.) should already be in it. Thank you already for your answers!

Sound improvement Sl 500, year 2002, R 230
Hello, just bought a SL 500, R230, year 2002. What possibilities are there to improve the V8 sound – cheap -? Car should not sound loud, but sonorous, powerful, dull. Have read about replacing the center silencers with stainless steel tubes. Where can you buy something like this, what does it cost about and how are the experiences with it? Thank you for a few tips.

Engine damage Renault Captur
Hi we have a captur from 2014 with now 76k km on the speedometer. Now the car has been standing for 3 weeks in the workshop – with the result engine damage, because cooler fluid got into the engine…. Car was always in the inspection, last March 2020, then Corona and a few kilometers and then 3 weeks ago super GAU. Renault refers to the 3 years warranty and wants to do nothing… I find inconspicuous. Now the question: it is a 90 hp engine diesel – to me now someone offers a 110 hp engine… can you install the simply (technically) so or you have to consider what? Has someone experience with engine damage – I think this is a design error, car was very gentlely driven and treated. Can you expect from Renault what?? First registration May 2014 Type approval 1RB8 54 We have the engine: K9K-608 (D282735) This is offered to us:K9K-646 (K9K-F6)
