  • Renault Megane 1.6 16V BJ 2007 with ethanol

    Hello guys, I used to drive a Renault Twingo with E85 and have had good experience with the Schwedenbox AutoX4. Unfortunately I was separated from this ingenious mobile after a painful battle in the stowage. Now I drive a Renault Megane 1.6 16V Grandtour. It was built at the end of 2006 and has 110 hp. A little later (March 2008) the model with modified engine for E85 came on the market (see http://www.autosieger.de/article14463.html). In 2006 I also started attempts to drive with E85. In addition, I increased the dose and monitored the ECU with the notebook. It also runs very well with E85. However, the consumption with 9.4 – 10.6 liters E85 is unusually high. With Super I used a little 6,8 – 7,4 liters. This makes an additional consumption of 40% and E85 relatively unattractive, since still starting difficulties (3-4 attempts) are added. What prevented me so far from installing the box at the Megane was that the Meggi measures the fuel consumption over the injection times and moves accordingly also the tank needle. That means that the data after installation will no longer be correct and the tank will be empty before the needle will move into the area of the reserve. What would you do to get the Megane to get used to the drinking and to reduce the starting difficulties? Half-spun ideas are of course still developed. ch welcome. Greetings myfriend

  • Long-distance suitability and quality Mini Convertible

    Hi, I’m interested in the Cooper Convertible. What is the general long-distance suitability of the Mini? (I’m 1.76 tall, normal weight). Would you like to go on holiday with it… Which seats offer more comfort, the “normal” or the sports seats? And how good is the fabric cover insulated? (temperature/sound) In the ADAC breakdown statistics, the Mini performs well, how else is the general quality? Alternatively, a Mazda MX-5 would be in question, I’m somewhat inconclusive. ig…

  • Inventor of the car hybrid honored

    That was not yet known to me: “31.10.2008 – As the inventor of the hybrid drive for cars, Russian engineer Alexander Severinsky is now moving into the Hall of Fame of the American University of Maryland. This is reported by the US daily newspaper “Baltimore Sun”. After 15 years of development, the inventor emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1978 filed a patent for the prototype of a car with a combined gasoline and electric drive. In addition, Toyota will have to pay Severinsky $25 for each hybrid car sold until the patent expires in 2012. However, the question of the authorship of the hybrid drive – as with many major inventions – is not clarified. Besides Toyota and Honda, Porsche can also claim, because already in 1900 Ferdinan brought d Porsche with the Lohner Porsche the first standard hybrid car on the market. The open two-seater also had a combustion and an electric motor and could store energy in a battery.” Just google “Alexander Severinsky”

  • Axle cuffs leak – Do I have to change joints?

    Moin, my Corolla E10 has been leaking an axle cuff since I bought it. That’s about 3000km now, and since I want to change oil, brake fluid, brake pads at the back and possibly also brake drums (look at them) soon, I’ll change the cuffs there too. My problem is now: I don’t know exactly when the cuff has leaked. So how long has fat been dripping out, how much dirt is already in it. As I said, 3000km on every fold. l, at the moment the car is at almost 94700 (with 95000 oil changes – the intervals are slightly shifted due to short distance) and I bought it with 92000. Last TÜV test before was September 2003, since this has not yet been noticed (but now when buying at the TÜV test already). The big question is now: Has the joint endured this? 3000+ km with bad lubrication, possibly still dirt (is only a crack, but still… water comes in everywhere) and partly fast motorwayfa hrt. No noise does it, the driving feeling is as always, car doesn’t move… What do you say? MfG, HeRo P.S: Unfortunately, I can only open and look up badly, because I have to pay for the stage and also the parts don’t get here on the island, but only at about 100km distance or via the Internet.

  • No more dealer guarantee

    I called the dealer about a 14-year-old car and he told me he had to sell it as a replacement device donor, because no insurance can give a guarantee on a 10-year-old car. Is this correct or wrong? The car has a value of about 1500 euros. Does such a contract recommend itself as a spare part donor or how should one do it best? Thank you!

  • Post of Honda

    Moin Kinnars I’m just home, and see there – a letter ovn Honda?! With the inscription “Experience more sportiness. At the touch of a button” I open it up like a flint bow – and?” Dear Mr. Stuggi-Civic (name i.d. Red.bek.*g) thank you for your participation in our survey on the Honda Civic study. Let yourself be inspired by their extraordinary dynamics with the enclosed brochure. … much bla bla and then sentences like “Study was highlights from this year’s auto salon in Geneva” or “No compromises allowed on design and construction.” and then – oh joy “You are now part of the exclusive circle of those who are regularly informed about the Civic.” What did I do? I was really evil – and now they are happy? And I get more information?! Why? Why me? I’m really nice to the brochure – it looks nice (beautiful with “Engine Start”*g) and otherwise – just the same as always …. and some small ones. Image – or just on the 4-5 pages. So you notice the survey was unimportant, it only needed the Lutz few addresses (and yes – I should have written my name, but well – now I know what to come to us) AND I am in an exclusive circle and you don’t! Greeting Mica
