    Model S vs. Mirai from Berlin 460 km to Geiselwind (Nordbayern), liveSince Monday, 9 o’clock, the mm.de editors Wilfried Eckl-Dorna and Nils-Viktor are worried about the hydrogen car Toyota Mirai on Germany tour. They want to find out in two days whether Toyota has invented the car of the future. They report live from the vehicle. 13.30 o’clock: Small delay – the Tesla drivers have still optimized their tyre pressure. Here we go. 12.10 o’clock: Berlin, Berlin – we sin d in Berlin! At the total hydrogen filling station on Heerstraße. The sun shines into a group of electric car drivers who are already waiting for us. Two Teslas want to take it with us from about 1 p.m. on the next stage to Geiselwind (North Bavaria). One Tesla is allowed to intercharge, the other not. Who is the fastest at the finish? The answer should give us a hint whether the battery technology or the fuel cell technology is further ahead with the stand today! We make a small e Lunch break and report back to us at 1 p.m. http://www.manager-magazin.de/…/…o-im-live-fahrtest-a-1060277.html Live Trackerhttp://glympse.com/!ModelSvsMirai

  • Heat exchanger at 406

    Hello guys, after I searched the net for days in vain for a description, how to change the heat exchanger with the Peugeot 406, Bj 05/1999, petrol, I now ask here in the forum for your help Have found here already a post by DiNERO, where he writes that this is not so complicated, and then wrote it on, but up to now I have no answer. However, I have to work slowly, since the coolant smell becomes quite annoying (apart from that This morning I went to it and removed a few panels and the center console. I think that I found at least the supply lines to the WT, but I still don’t know how to get to the thing best. What’s also surprising is that I could not detect moisture near the supposed WT. Are there other reasons for coolant odor in the interior? The smell kicks away. always on when the vehicle is warm. Cooling water level is OK, engine oil a little bit. Please help me, I’m quite frustrated!!!!!

  • 406 Start problems with subsequent strong smoke development

    Hello dear Peugeot community. Maybe one of you can help me. Peugeot 406 SRTD 96. Year of construction with more than 220,000 KM. The following problem: My Peugeot has quite a start difficulty in the cold state. I have to press two to three times the zünder and get still on the gas so that he can start at all (is certainly not exactly healthy for the car). When it is then so far and the motor jumps on there is a quite large diesel cloud at the back. the car without problems on……only if he stands up for one or two hours these difficulties, then the start without the gas pedal to operate is almost impossible…….except I repeat the start process 10 times In winter where it was cold I had almost no start difficulties, now that it gets warmer all the more. What can this be about……someone might have a starvation. I still have one question. The nice oma of the Peugeot spare parts meant I had to ask the Peugeot which model/model fits in my. Are not all the same for this year of construction? It is probably not about the multifunctional display but alone about the temperature display. Do you have any idea in the direction????? Thank you for the numerous answers.

  • Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi FAP 135 ; Turbocharger defective?

    Hello, I drive a Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi FAP 135; 98kW (133PS); 10.10.2001 with 147.000km. I wanted to make oil changes and when the employees who have covered … they found that there is quite a lot of oil. That’s what they showed me and meant that it is probably the turbocharger that is defective. They also saw something in the middle full of oil and said that it is very likely but only one gasket can be. They recommended to go to Peugeot and Ü I have also noticed that something in the engine compartment “knocks, but not always. They couldn’t confirm that it comes from the turbocharger but they believe it can be. I’m surprised that the car still accelerates normally, even in 2500 revolutions. Now I don’t know if I should try to speed it up so hard again to control it that they told me that it’s about engine engine speed. You know what can be there and if it can be the turbocharger? Because I think it’s an expensive matter. At ATU they meant between 1500 and 2000€. Here I read that it can also be a clogged filter. Is it also possible? The last oil change is also quite long ago. Greeting Karol

  • Subwoofer’s ready.

    Subwoofer is ready Hi Your music enthusiasts. Last 2 weeks + weekends my sub was created, which I must not withhold from you. Here are some data: Speaker: Magnat Aggressor 5000 (900W/450W) [Music Power/RMS] Power Amplifier: TOXIC – TX1500N (1500W/640W) [Music Power/Sinus Power] Housing: 16 mm MDF wood Glass: 15mm Plexiglas Tubes: 2x 110mm Visatone Lighting: 160mm Neon Tube blue Screws: all V2A Finishing: Speaker in car color, body in rim color Image 1 E ndstufe Bild 2 Vorne – Mitteig Bild 3 Hinterten – Rechts Bild 4 Oberaufsicht Bild 5 In the TT Sounds brutal, better than expected, despite little volume! Sub simply hangs on the Bose, so that I can switch off the sub completely, and again experience the pure Bose sound. It is also always removable without traces. What do you mean??? Do you like it?

  • I’m at the end !!!

    Hello, I’ve been having the problem for some time now that my TT is jerking on speeding up. Have already had the ignition coils and the LMM changed, which does not break any help. After that I have already searched half the inet for this problem and only on speculations like vacuum hose or Zilinder head gasket I really don’t know any more. There has to be someone who had the same problem or still has. Does nobody know help? Not even the A… Workshop can help me! I am grateful for any comment. MfG POPO

  • Audi TT Fuel consumption

    Hello I might want to buy an Audi TT. Actually, for me a diesel would be the right one e.g. a BMW320. Ride about 25 – 30 TKM a year. But I like the Audi TT a lot better! Besides it also goes much better 😉 The only thing that worries me is the relatively high fuel consumption! Can you tell me what an Audi TT so takes on the highway (average level about 170 -180Kmh so? Drive a lot of highway… mostly night and then always long distance 250Km apiece. And what about an average speed of approx. 130 – 140Kmh? At the moment I prefer the TT Coupe 1.8 with 225PS Quattro… how much different is the fuel consumption between the individual models? Comparison between (TT 1.8 180PS Front / TT 1.8 180PS quattro / TT 1.8 225PS quattro) What do you think of the 180PS quattro, is it still going well? Or does it seem rather sluggish. I also worry about the many engine damage here in the forum! Would you like a TT mi t about 60 – 70TKM and then drive it for a few years… Or would you advise me not to use a TT in my case? Thank you for your support!

  • 308D problem with cylinder head removal (OM 601.940)

    Hello! Now I finally started with the ZKD change and arrived at the fixing bolts of the sliding rail. Before I break even more, I wanted to get some advice: There was already one on it and he hit the right, lower bolt again, without turning a screw in before. Looks pretty bad (photos) and I can not get a screw in there anymore. How do I go best, what can you do there? I would maybe try the But the place is really not easily accessible. Thank you.

  • Does my new 207D have engine damage?

    Good evening, today I did my first tour (30 km) with my new Mercedes 207D (built in 1979) with great anticipation. He jumped badly, but I didn’t think anything. After a while I had the feeling that he was doing less performance, but I didn’t think anything about it either, because I don’t know the car yet and I couldn’t rule out factors such as slight climbs, headwinds… but then he drove quite normal again. On the way back he drove suddenly, despite full throttle in the first gear, only at the pace, in the second gear hardly any more. I then checked the oil level (with the oil of course was hot and the car was also slanting). Under these circumstances the measuring rod was in the middle (before the start of the journey it was in the upper range). From the oil cover came slightly black smoke (not blue or white). Then I tilted a little oil and started it again, then he w Did they hang me up a 207D with engine damage or could there be other reasons for the oil consumption or the suddenly missing performance? Greetings and thanks Stefan
