  • second turbo damage within 80000

    Hello my Fiatler, I have now found that a Fiat Panda turbocharger only holds 40000km. My mileage is now almost 80000km. Both damages have occurred in very cold weather. Now at -10°C after approx. 10km driving distance the turbo whistled and it lacks about 20% power. From Fiat I will probably get nothing. I do not hope at all now. The last one went on guarantee. It was valid for another month. Now Fiat is out of the tailor. for what do I drive into a Fiat workshop at all. I also build my own motorcycle and I’m already screwing on cars for at least 20 years. I have now obtained an offer from STK Turbo Technik. The price of a new (no longer overhauled) loader comes to me on 420.-. Fiat wants 590.- without installation. Workshop wants to make 130.- for installation So yourself? Instructions and hints there are enough in the net (direct installation, change of oil pipes) I’m really sick of it. Who has a PDF for the work steps. Without it, however, you can put everything in order mentally. I’m going to expand it and take a look at it myself. My Fiat screwdriver has already looked temporarily in the built-in condition with a spear. How well you can judge the loader there is placed there. A shovel is probably bent again. Since my guarantee now with 4 J.). If I need a turbo all 40000km and have to pay it myself anyway, I can also install it myself. Frust, frustration. Now perhaps the crucial question: Where could the error lie? Ice formation, AGR valve, LMM ? Since the resale is low anyway and I want to drive it until the end, I am not interested in service anyway. Can I use the Serv ice key in the LCD reset? Does it disappear after approx. 1000km as I have already read in the net? Ralf

  • Full throttle when driving down?

    Hello in the round! I wonder if it makes sense to give full throttle if I move in a low speed range, but I want to speed up as fast as possible. Alternatively, I could push the accelerator slower and give the engine time to come at higher speeds. I think that the latter swallows less fuel and is at least the same fast if the timing is correct, if not faster. Do you agree? Greetings

  • Does the car have four wheel, hybrid?

    Hello, a multi-brand dealer has several, new SX4 S-Cross 1.4 Hybrid Comfort automatic stand for 21,950€. According to homepage Suzuki Germany there is no this combination at all. My question, does this car have four wheel? I couldn’t look under and the dealer had to. I don’t want an all-wheel since I never need it. In addition, what does this car hybrid mean? I found no information about it. Thanks for answers already.

  • C30 from 2006

    Hej together, at the trade fair in Detroit was officially announced that from autumn 2006 a small Volvo named C30 will round off the pallet downwards. Swedish newspaper aftonbladet writes that Volvo has shown a 15-second spot of the C30 at the press conference. Logically, not the entire vehicle was presented almost 2 years before market launch, but the rear view is at least ventilated in the silhouette. The attached picture shows the car. More Unfortunately, there has not been any new information yet.

To conclude the contract then the request, i I’m supposed to leave my car and walk home, after all, I’m not in possession of a valid driving license.

  • Car phone

    I drive a S80 2.0 T, am super satisfied with the dare. When buying I had a 10x CD changer installed by the dealer and started the problems with it. Due to improper installation they damaged me of the middle console, the radio part and the telephone part. Everything nice scratched. I pick up the dare from it was already dark so not exactly everything looked after. I noticed the defects only the next day. The result my dealer of “detaching” had to put on warm clothes. I The phone also had to be replaced because they had to destroy the card reader however they managed to do it. The damaged center console (outside) I got replaced nciht. Since this new phone there are problems. Despite that it is sounded off it rushes in the speaker in the headrest. It was allegedly played up at the dealer of my Veertauens a new software but it did not improve anything. Can I in d his direction someone further help???? Thank you

  • Engine clackers

    Hello Suzuki fans, I hope someone can help me with my problem here. When the engine is cold, everything runs like lubricated and nothing clacks! As soon as the engine gets warm, it starts to clack. That almost sounds like the valves are turned off. Only recently I had the valves re-adjusted. If you turn the engine up to approx. 2500 rpm, it also rattles very briefly something in the engine compartment. Who knows well and can be far from me in the error finding. I am grateful for every tip! PS. Have Suzuki Swift STH 1.3 with 68 HP, BJ 1994 with about 98000 km!

  • MX-5 Beginners car?

    Hello I have a question. Since December I have my driver’s license now and will finally be 18 in March, that means I can drive by myself! I am looking forward to it very moderately, because I really like totaL driving. A good friend of mine, is a total Mx-5 freak. And he totally infected me with it. My father even said that he could imagine a small Mx-5 for me. Of course I liked this idea very much. My parents are now making themselves And I/we’re also thinking about whether an Mx-5 is the right car for me. I have the dream of driving an Mx-5 once. What do you think? My good friend didn’t advise me about it… Well, I would really be very happy about your answers! Oh yes, it’s definitely for me that I need a car of my own…others it’s not possible! Thank you very much.
