Hi forum, don’t worry, I don’t have to try this configuration and don’t want to turn 5 tuning boxes in series to achieve six times the power I’m only interested in what happens once when you equip a vehicle with a chip tuning (chip tuning software on the engine control unit) and then a so-called tuning box “before” this engine control unit jams? Does it cause error messages? Does the power increase pick up? What do you think? VG Tom

Galant E50 is running out of power, especially after air conditioning
Hello together, for a long time my Glant has the problem that the engine likes to hang just before the shut-off limit, when I drove mainly – longer time – and/or with activated air conditioning. 3 weeks ago I changed the spark plugs and looked at the contacts of the cables, no green chip or something, precautionary gave a small shot of contact spray. In the plugs however, I noticed that oil had collected, everything cleaned up and as said ZK changed t. Were before Bosch, have run well, have now again NGK inside and have now been driving very well now 3 weeks. The Galant fell especially after a longer motorway ride (I am a frequent driver) in idle times fast, but fortunately did not go out. Today again direction to go home, he suddenly starts to jerk slightly and especially when giving gas that strengthens itself. In idle it goes out immediately, and now comes the real problem, that he so badly never gezeze If he is still rolling, I can’t pick him up again!) unless I wait 2 hours, then it’s going to work again. No jerking, it might come back after a long time of driving, after the warm-up phase, actually only shows up at engine load and then also at idle with stationary gas. I also suspect that the fuel filter can be in there for a while, but guessings won’t take me any further. Tomorrow I’ll look at the ZK to see if it’s any longer. And what traces have, or whether oil has gone into the plugs again. Then it may be that the seals around the ZK-channels no longer hold – opinions are asked here gladly. Until then a nice evening, Tam.

Pro & Contra Glass sliding roof Mini Cooper??
Hello, I have recently been infected with Mini and want to scrap my car against a new MINI COOPER. In principle my desired car – chili equipment, black leather punch seats with seat heating (is with the Cooper in the Chili package). I am inconclusive at the GLASSCHIEBEDACH. My MINUS points – During the test drive on a hot summer day the sun blinded me from above at noon – despite closed blinds. Unfortunately there are no viscous blinds, but only those with the black I heard at 130 km/h wind noises, driving characteristics not as good at high speeds as at closed roof – I heard from an acquaintance who works at BMW in the development that the sliding roofs cause problems with the mini after some time (more years…), i.e. rusting up to the pure rain… I want to drive my mini very long and fearful expensive repairs. – Visually disturbs the black sliding roof on white My PLUS points 🙂 – more driving fun in the city and country – half convertible feeling – bright interior on cloudy days I have pulled 2 models of the Mini Cooper into the short choice: – British Racing Green with white roof – Mini Cooper 50 Mayfair – the new special edition, which is only produced for a year – optionally in chocolate with white roof or midnight black What are your experiences with the SCHIEBEDACH? What do you recommend: Classics in Racing Green or special edition 50?? sse from the rained MUC Gabi

Air conditioning capacity in MX-5
Hello, the climate in my MX-5 has decreased because of the lack of refrigerants. Actually no test: a good friend has a device for venting and filling the system. However, we don’t find any information about how much refrigerant has to go in there. Does anyone have any idea? In the manual of the car there are all kinds of filling quantities, only these are not. In addition, there are several tables in the I-Net for all kinds of vehicles, only the MX-5 is not in it. 🙁 Would be very grateful if j emand could help! Greeting, omegaaaaaah

Exhaust sound Cooper S
Hello MINI community! I got a brand-new Cooper S as a demonstration car today. Background is that we are about to order a Clubman and want to decide between Cooper (we’ve already driven) and Cooper S. The VFW Cooper S is a “normal” mini, so not a Clubman. Now my question: is the exhaust sound of the Clubman Cooper S just as beautiful (especially after pressing the sports button) as with my VFW? The exhaust systems look clearly different, however, There are other notable differences between a Cooper S and a Clubman Cooper S? Thank you very much for your help! Greetings Dirk

Caution when importing Mercedes cars from Germany to other countries
Hello, I bought an EQE5004Matic in Germany and brought it to Austria. Now the “third-party provider data volume” does not work. In this regard I had a detailed conversation with the me Support today. If a German car imports to Austria (or Switzerland, ..), then the IITC Internet in the Car of Mercedes me does not work! According to support the cars for Austria get their own SIM card. With the for DE then nothing works. E_SIM is, but hardware of His time which is deliberately built for security reasons so that you can hardly get any more. A conversion is not planned. Now I have a car worth well over Euro 100,000.- and it is not possible to use the MB entertainment package, despite connection to A1, but no data volume!!??? You are not told about it. Then I was asked why I bought the car in DE and not in AT, ha, ha. Welcome to of the EU!
