  • Question Guarantee and conversion LPG LPG LPG

    Hello wanted to change to Subaru for the next car due to the comprehensive warranty. Unfortunately there is not the XV with diesel and automatic. Since I drive 40000 km in the year I would have had the petroler converted to Lpg at the Subaru dealer. This told me the guarantee expires but if I do all repairs with him and no other dealer, then this would not be noticeable and the garntie will be preserved. What should one think about it?

  • Remove adhesive residue after foil removal

    Hello together, I would like to soon renew my stone impact protection film on my bonnet. If I remove the old foil remain remnants of the glue on the varnish. Now the question is, how do I get the adhesive residue away from paint-friendly? Is it possible that only paint cleaners are sufficient or does something more special here? Thanks already for a few helpful tips.

  • Injection nozzle defective???

    Injection nozzle defective??? Need urgent advice !!! Hi people. Have ne presupposition what is defective on my Punto, but before I renew it I want to know if I am right with my guess. So I describe the problem: – At the moment my engine is drinking good 10 liters (otherwise between 6 and 7 liters) – The higher the speed the less power the motor has – From about 4000 rpm Has the engine power cut – Does not always jump on the first time – Unquiet idle – spark plugs heavily worn Bin the opinion that the fuel gets too much, and suspect that the injection nozzle is defective. Can this be ??? Have seen the following offer on eBay by chance:http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?… Please tell me what you think about it.

  • Experience with the Lancia Delta ?

    Search all the time in the net for a cheap car so up to a maximum 3000 Euro. I have now rather departed from the Seat Ibiza and found the Lancia Delta. (which was built from 1993 about). How is the quality? Have seen that most already have some kilometers on the Tacho. I liked the interior with red seats so well there was the only 5 doorr had found no other ? How much gasoline does he need about 100 km ? Or was the first delta better ?

  • Got a callback letter

    Hello, today in my mail had a letter from Volvo Germany. This includes a recall for all vehicles with detachable ball head. With the explicit note: Please make sure that the trailer train with removable ball head is no longer used until the agreed workshop appointment! Since you did not know with me if I have mounted a trailer coupling, you sent it to me precautionally. This just for information. Greeting Volker

  • ¿volvo’s true competition?

    I posted a similar question a long time ago, but if the many new members and some more interesting beitræge I am for a »revival«: which competitors were still to choose when deciding to buy your cars? would you decide that way again? above all: would the decision be the first again, which other cars would be included in the closer circle of potential competitors? dear greetings, olip.s.: doesn’t fit to the topic, starting from I didn’t want you to suffer this and die of this volvo: http://www.shellkonto.nu/carmania/volvo/v_masacer_e.html

  • I’m shocked again!

    I don’t want to be a fan of the freedom of speech either. But MIR personally is absolutely against it, when a thread like “Germany is looking for the Bertel car” is closed by a moderater. no idea whether hulper has slept badly or whatever for problems. I don’t care either. therefore I don’t complain to him, but I challenge you – oli, ju and mike – to open this thread again. not because I think the contribution is particularly valuable, but because otherwise I always have to ask myself whether my contribution does not fall out provided by any good control. that is counterproductive. that’s what regulates itself by itself! thank you in advance.

  • Gasproof?

    Hello, are the Subaru motors actually all gas-proof? You see many driving around with gas. Lots of LPG built-in engines always say: “Well sure your engine is gas-proof” and after 3 years the problems come…

  • Carburettor set-up for Pinto engine (2.0 Ltr Ford OHC)

    I drive an old Super Seven with 2 liters Ford OHC (105hp, ID NE, m.W. unmodified). When I bought the car, the engine was equipped with 48IDF carburetors (arg-adjusted) which I have barged for running, but I am not really satisfied. Although the 48IDF offers quite constant performance at the top, the “hole” in the lower speed range is finally quite pronounced. I do not drive the car on the track and do not look for the last HP in the above In the lower/medium range between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm, I want a fairly constant power, without starving up. In the net, I find both 40 IDF and 44 IDF hits. I feel that the jump from 48 to 40 is too big, so I think the 44 IDF is a good compromise. But before I install and vote the carburettors, I still have to set the Venturi size. They are supposed to make the biggest difference in performance. The 44IDF has 36 Venturi (-20% through) by default. If I would go to the 40IDF, the 28mm Venturi (-50% through) has experience. Does any of you really have the size of the Venturi with the power curve and which Venturi best fit the OHC? I have thought about building 34 Venturi. Then I would be in the middle / -30%. Does that make sense on the 2.0 Ltr OHC?

  • PT Cruiser CRD

    I’ve been offered cheap PT CRD,Bj. 2012 because I’m looking for a diesel and I like the PT because it stands out from the crowd I’m interested in PT, I’ve already read a bit about the front axle, I don’t think so serious. Are there other typical flaws ? rust ? engine ? gearbox (manual) ? 150000 km should not be the problem ? MfG
