  • European petrol prices in the US?

    in a newsweek article is proposed to raise the gasoline prices in the usa by taxes to $6 per gallon, an almost twice as high price as now. if I see this correctly, however, are these still below €1.10 per liter? probably this is a politically impossible project anyway, but the thought is interesting. liebe gruss oli

  • A thick US thing – the new moose scare

    After long pondering I have come to the conviction that traditions want to be maintained – which is also particularly true for me as a professed VOLVO symphatists here ….. Therefore this Fred, in which I present the new XXL-elk scare briefly for warning / information of all moose drivers here … After a long selection procedure (including XC70 III 3,2, Jeep Commander 3.0 CRD) it has then become THAT here …..

  • Does Saab build better engines than Volvo ?!

    Hello what do you think about the current engine range at Volvo. Does this IMHO stand in contrast to the current quarterly losses or is this already the “quenchment” of the (old) customers Do you think that the V70 III (Volvos drawhorse) is not accepted by the clientele to the extent that it would be necessary. Apart from the loyal followers here who have already bought one. Certainly someone comes around the corner and says: read in the forum what the for Prob Data from Saab engines Apart from the polarizing design, the engines are economical and balanced as a real alternative to Volvo. The performance is much finer than at the moment at Volvo. You could have done the obviously big error (the 2.4, 140 hp) if the 2.0T had remained in the program. Greeting Jan

  • Chemical Guys – White Light…Experiences?

    Meal together, I’ve been looking for a nice shine booster for a while, bought me one of the Chemical Guys 3 months ago (Vagabond or so) after moving in and polishing in but in direct comparison brought on the bonnet 0. Now I heard something about the above-mentioned product “White Light”. “Chemical Guy’s latest creation – gloss booster and swirl / filling up scratches. Whitelight creates a strong wet look and deep shine, it also fills fine scratches and Swirls so that the surface allows light to reflect more strongly and better. This leads to breathtaking effects not only on metallic varnishes.” There are many Swirls on the paint and I totally like the said Wet look I would like to know if you have had experience with the Mittelchen. Because 35€ I didn’t want to just throw out the window

  • LANCIA should die !!!!

    Ciao Lancisti, for the current occasion, I’m going over the forum rules here and I’m going to post a link to another automotive forum, I hope the relevant mod. has understanding.

  • Injection nozzles / valve warning people at the Lancia Theme 2000ie 16v

    Hello dear ones, have the following problem; With my Lancia theme year 1994 – 2000ie 16v 112kw/110kw anyway… Go open the warning light for gasoline single-point nozzles. Is the first one in the TAcho at the bottom left! Then the car seems to go into some kind of emergency running program and it takes a very bad gas & B depending on how you stand on the gas, you notice just how it takes off all of a sudden! Somewhere the mistake has to be yes wa Does someone have experience there? Does someone know the car or someone who d Would be great if you had advice for me to go to Lancia for that, I don’t think so! In advance, thank you very much, Greetings…

  • Lancia Y buys – Questions about it!

    Hi guys! I bought a Lancia Ypsilon for my girlfriend, which I will pick up on Friday. He is 7/2000 and has 98,000 KM with serivce book. He is black, has no rust and looks really good. Recently the clutch was made new, the brakes re-occupied and the wheel bearings came in again. He also got a new battery. Price is 815 Euro. Now to the problems lt. previous owner: -brake line is to be replaced, apparently it is rusted over the tank. -The Mo tor needs water – head seal belongs to made – window lifter switch right broken Can you give me tips about the problems and what the repair costs approx. (not in the workshop)? The engine should jerk – the previous owner bought a new ignition distributor from Bosch and had it installed. He suspects that the 2nd ignition distributor also still has to be replaced so that the jerking is gone. What do you think about it? Does this happen or is the reason to look elsewhere? I am grateful for every tip and h open here not to have bought a construction site (which is basically not about big money…) – I think I would get the 815 Euro again at the VK…

  • EQE – Snow in the trunk

    Hello community, I had opened the tailgate with my new EQE today, despite some snow on the car. This led to the whole snow of the window in the back and the boot lid in the trunk. Now all my cars had felt a lip or similar in front of it to prevent this happening. Is there something missing in my EQE or is that normal? I didn’t read the operating instructions exactly after that, but the car must be completely off the snow. to open it? OK, that was ironic now. Thank you and say hi Marc
