  • Question about tyre brand winter tyres

    Good morning together, nice that the forum is online again.. Did I somehow miss… I have the following question: Does one of you know the tyre brand or company Hinghaus? It should be a company from Dissen near Osnabrück that manufactures or sells tires? According to telefonbuch.de this is the “Hinghaus Handels- u. Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH Reifen” I found a winter tyre “Hinghaus TS790” at www.markenreifen.com. What irritates me is that there is also a winter tyre from continental with the designation TS790. The price of the Hinghaus is however extremely cheap… What should I think about it? Especially since there is apparently not really anything to find on the Internet… Gruss, Dirk

  • What is this under the battery!? White plastic and locking screw?

    Hello together, I made yesterday the felt 10th oil change on my moose and I noticed for the first time this white plastic cover (on the gearbox?) below the battery…. Can anyone tell me for what it is? It doesn’t look as beautiful as I think it was at that time and then there’s a white locking screw? Is this for the transmission oil? Do I have to change that??? Volvo V40, 1.8, BJ 99, I’m curious

  • Brake caliper Rear cuff of guide bolts new with hole plate

    Moin I have a V40 1.9D/2004 In April 2014 I put in the rear saddles in exchange (Skandix). Also new discs and coverings. A week ago, I found that the car does not roll well, handle to the rear rims. The right side was hot, so brake not i.o. The cuffs of the two guide bolts were not ok (well) New brake discs and coverings mounted, holder of the brake pads brightly cleaned, pistons went well pure (turning is clear) New guide bolts and cuffs (original Volvo) installed. At installation I noticed that a cuff did not have the same amount of counter pressure as the others. So have tested and seen that a very small solder (as from a needle, you can hardly see) the air and a bit of fat pressed out. Now I told the good man of Volvo that it is warm ev. a (ventilation hole) Hello? Since I am not able to do the full ones, but have to believe that the tires have run out?

  • Timing belts Marking and control times

    Hello, someone has changed the timing belt from you and knows exactly where all the markings are??? On the upper plastic cover there are two small “wets”. If I put the camshaft wheels (inlet & outlet) on the markings, the notches on the wheels exactly fit. So the ratio inlet to outlet fits. But: the crankshaft does not fit then. All pistons stand on a height level. So nix with OT 1. & 4. cylinder. If I place the 1st cylinder on OT, the markings of the camshaft wheels do not fit to the “motor housing”. Up to the crankshaft front and rear I have not yet worked myself before. I still have to degrade the belt disc/swing styler….. Have removed all Z.-kerzen to the sample and checked with the extension of the small ratchet the upper dead point. Greeting to all….

  • Buying advice Civic BJ from 2000

    Hello dear Civics, have been at the Citroen Forum for a long time and have to get rid of a question here: My son will be studying in Los Angeles for 18 months from September. If I deliver him over there, we will be looking for a used car for him. Due to several conversations with Honda owners, I also came to the Civic. This is supposed to be a very reliable, manageable car, in terms of cost and reliability. Which model year is to be recommended for approx. 2,500 to 3,000 €? What do you have to consider when buying? Vulnerabilities? Expected repairs from how much km of tacho stand? How much car is there for the money? How reliable is the automatic vehicles? How reliable is the air conditioning system? You could speak plain text, I’m technically quite knowledgeable! Thank you in advance!

  • Power loss and high fuel consumption

    Have a discreet problem with my 1.4 Civic Aerodeck. Be sure to find out for quite some time now that my civic has a quite high consumption,in average 8.5 liters on 100km. In addition, he sometimes has zero pull more.,but then if you don’t expect it to pull again really well. Well, a few more dates: Built.98 km-level 18600 1.4er original 75ps,but opened on 90ps Has nothing to do with the change of the throttle valve seal, since I have now been in it for almost 6 years, so I exclude. I have already changed the oil change, air filter, ignition plugs (original NKG), petrol filter, valve play is also set, exhaust system is nowhere leaky, and undertoury it is not driven permanently, exactly not a short distance. Map sensor has already changed (had I used to be in stock). Has everything brought nix… All plug connections have been checked, all optically ok. In case of Honda, I have not managed to fix anything.

  • no RTTI data

    Hello Volvoisti. I’m tormented by the following. I’ve been driving a Volvo XC90 B5 for 6 weeks now. I’m not going to use the Volvo OnCall, what’s going on Volvo where I’m driving around… 😉 But I would have liked to use the RTTI. Apart from the fact that I have to unlock my iPhone when the vehicle is rebooted, open the settings in it and go to “personal hotspot” and then have to go to the settings in the sensus to select my iPhone as an internet source…. it’s annoying kolossal I tell you. I’m going to refuel, come back… everything from the front, I’m coming from the customer’s appointment….everything from the front, I used to pee…everything from the front. ( I have a prepaid card with 10GB data volume and a fixed Sim card installed in the car therefore is not in question) But is it so I’ve never received a single RTTi message in the 6 weeks and 14000km yet? People, anyhow there is always the ghost driver, or other dangers that even in my old S80 have always been reported to me in my old S80. What I do the same in 2020?

  • V60 D5 Irregularities in consumption indicator and DrivE

    Hello, For a few days I have observed that my V60 sometimes does not display 0.0 L/100Km but some consumption although I brake with the engine (foot from the accelerator) the displayed consumption during normal driving is then displayed significantly higher than usual. (e.g. 9.8 L/100 km at 90Km/h in 6 gear on straight track. This problem “disappears” mostly when the car is parked and read out. (it is enough a stop of 2-3 minutes) The turn on of the engine alone is not enough. Also the DrivE system does not work for several days either. It is not an indicator such as “battery is charged” or similar to see, and the temperatures are about 10-15 °C Does any of you know such problems? Should I greet the ancestor?

  • PROTECTION PLATTS, BACKERS FOR XC60

    Hello all, I have a question about the accessory part PROTECTION PLATTE, HINTERER STOSSFÄNGER – is this mandatory or does only have to be carried with the ABE? What does this cost approximately incl. mounting for the model DRIVe?

  • Inscription for XC60

    Hello there I would just like to point out that from MJ 2013 Inscription there will also be for the XC60! New colours are linen white and the tan, so similar to the V70. In addition, the leather is generally grained finer, as in the V70. Vlt. helps with the selection 😉 Gruess us dä CH Peter
