  • Before I discuss with the Ordinary, here’s your “opinion” –> park sin, right?

    Hi together, in the picture you can see a Volvo park. I don’t know the vehicle or the driver and I don’t want to have any repercussions on this ;-)) The question: Is the car correct or can’t expect a ticket? My opinion a little later, first of all completely unburdened your input please! Good ride! Torsten – the XC fan (and order fanatic 😉

  • adac criticizes the prudence of modern cars as a security problem

    the adac speaks for once something, which has already bothered me very much: http://www.tagsschau.de/…/0,1185,OID4861380_REF1,00.html as I had to notice when testing in hemsedal, the view of modern volvos in all directions is relatively poor, in the s40 even forward. now the thick dachholme in modern cars are certainly also clearly safer than the stilts in the ancient 240 and moreover in the roof of a s40 probably more electronics than i n “waltraud minus radio” – but don’t you also think that what has to be done with transparency? are parksensors a good solution or treat the only symptoms? what about blis? will the subject-work-a-sæulen des scc still be found in s30? dear gruss oli

  • Disability discount

    Are there any discounts from Chevrolet for the disabled ??

  • Engine damage because of cold water on hot engine?

    Hello dear ones, I have a huge problem and hope you can help me a little. Situation was this: I got his old car from my father last year. However, it is still registered on his name (today) Since I am still in the process of driving my driver’s license, my then friend was allowed to drive with it. Although only in my company, but nevertheless ^^ My father explicitly pointed out that the coolant hose had a small crack and we should take care that there is always enough liquid and with longer distances more often a “motor break”. As far as so good. Shorter distances always super driven. Det car purred like a kitten. Had also “grade” times 119000 km behind it, so I was good things. Well and then a bigger ride was on. 150 km there, there still within 2 days 120 km and on the return journey after about 80 km I noticed then as co-driver that the arrow the radiator indicator was already behind the red area. I then pointed out the good driver and he meant.. “Yes we then drive into the next place entrance.” In the third !!! (as the engine already began to smoke) we finally drove in. Then the engine was off and nothing went more. Then my ex, after which I wanted to kill him already, 20 times for a duration of about half a minute, turned the ignition key, in the hope that the car would start again. A Is this not what cool water was taken out of the trunk and poured into the container for it. About 4 liters. Nja the end of the song.. ADAC has towed. Cooler broken, engine broken. I can forget car if I don’t want to take deep into the bag. But now to the actual question.. Who is to blame for the dilemma? My ex knows all the accusations of himself, I get nothing from him either because I “can’t give him anything” “The car was shit anyway and it did was only a question of time that it gets broken” … according to his statement. Can I actually charge him for it? Bzw my father, because it is still his car after all. What do you think about it? Thank you in advance and love greeting Birke1982 Oh and sorry for the laaaang text, I hope he was entertaining

  • Survey: How satisfied were you with your Chevrolet in 2011?

    The year is slowly coming to an end, it’s time to raise the winter tires again. We hope you’ve come through the year with your mobile kit so far! And to find out if that’s the case, we want to start a small survey again in 2011. As every year, the manufacturers have done a lot to interest us drivers in their products and services and to satisfy their customers. But: How satisfied were you with your car completely subjectively ? Or with the service that every car needs every now and then? So: How was it, your personal car year 2011? Since most manufacturers not only regularly read MOTOR-TALK, but are also in contact with us, we are going with the survey result and your praise and criticism in the comments aimed at the manufacturers. Therefore, in the comments, write what you liked about Chevrolet in general and your Chevrolet in particular in 2011, which is even better and wo It wasn’t so dazzling!

  • Hansa 23R—>MX5 with the Wankel motor

    Hello an interesting topic is the Hansa 23R a conversion of the MX-5 to the Wankelmotor of the RX-8 Source:http://www.automobile.de/…/…-Mobile-23R-machts-möglich-18033.html The now third generation of the Mazda MX-5 serves as the basis for the Hansa 23R. Thanks to the technical partner, the Rotary-Motorsport Ltd. from Zernien, the car is equipped with a 231 hp Wankelmotorwerk. In addition, a six-speed transmission, a stronger braking system and a more direct steering are installed. The modification is complemented by a light wheel set with road-friendly semi-slicks and a sports suspension. The modified bonnet is intended to indicate by its triangular shape the installed Wankel motor. The vehicle has an unladen weight of 1,050 kilograms and, according to Hansa-Mobile, sprints in 5.4 seconds from its position at 100 km/h. The tunnelling ends only at 260 km/h. 17-inch OZ-Ultraleggera rims with 215 yokohama tires are intended to bring the performance to the asphalt. Asnorm is fulfilled. in the current car picture Sportscar also a big article about the conversion appeared… I find the conversion totally strong and makes the light MX-5 a driving machine that also has something to offer motorly… what do you think of the combination MX-5 and the Wankelmotor?? more info–> http://www.hansa-mobile.com/Editionsmodelle.htm mfg Andy

  • Mx 5 Nb starts only on 3 cylinders

    Hallihallo:-)) I have a problem with my beloved Mx 5 NB,Year of construction 2000!!! If I have the car standing overnight and drive to work the next morning it starts wonderfully and does not cause any problems. However, if I go shopping for a short time, and the car is standing half a hour, it sometimes runs only on 3 cylinders when starting!!! It jerks, turnsticks, everything around and on. Sometimes it runs normally again as soon as I give gas, sometimes it runs for 5 minutes on 3 cylinders And all of a sudden everything is normal again.Some engine lights don’t work!!!! So I went to the workshop now,Zündkabel and candles were looked at and felt for well. Suspected ignition coil. But sure he is not:-( Since the ignition coil must be in gold price:-)), I would now of course not only buy on suspicion and thought I’d make myself a little smart with you.Does anyone know the problem, or can you test the coil somehow? n even if from outside still visible? should, if it were the ignition coil, the problem not to occur permanently???Questions about questions,sorry,would be nice if someone could help me.Sunny weekend to all of you

  • Mazda particle filter clogged – 2000€ Repair

    Hello, three weeks after the last inspection we, my wife, 2 toddlers and I, with our Mazda 5 on the way to the summer vacation. After 200km of highway ride there was suddenly a severe loss of performance and we stopped. It was 1 o’clock at night the children 3 and 5 years old woke up and had to be calmed up. We tried to get help from the Mazda Europe Service. Despite indicating chassis number, license plates etc. the vehicle could not be found in their system. M As a result, neither a tow truck was sent to us nor any other help was offered because we were allegedly not recorded in the computer (our Mazda workshop in Darmstadt assured that ALL inspections are correctly stored online). Only the telephone number of the emergency car dealership in Freiburg was mentioned. There a sleepy man answered with the counter question what he should do now and to answer the answer to tow he replied that this Saturday the We had no choice but to let the ADAC – for 203,11€ tow costs – help us. Only the next morning the Mazda Europe Service was able to retrieve our data and we were brought with a tow truck from Freiburg to Teningen, because there was a Mazda workshop ready to help us on a Saturday. In Freiburg this was not the case with both local Mazda workshops. The attempts of the Mazda workshop in Teningen with the special cleaning program to repair the Mazda remained unsuccessful. The annual vacation in danger, expensive repair … The repair incl. installation of a new cat costs 1978,96€ + towing costs 203,11€ = 2182,07€! A Mazda, who is just 5 years old and has been driven only 80,000 km, must not suddenly remain 3 weeks after the inspection and cause repair costs of 2182€. We had all inspections done un d paid for this in the last 5 years a total of 1891,34€. Why do you not get a warning? Why was this not recognized during the inspection and the cleaning started in time? You can not put a water bottle on the passenger seat without immediately loudly triggering the buckle alarm, but the software is not able to display the DPF light in time? The problem is already described in many internet forums by various Mazda owners. How was traded? The breakdown statistics of the ADAC name the clogged particle filter in the Mazda 5 as one of the most common causes. Already in June 2009 was published by auto motor sport “Mazda callback, particle filter causes problems. Our car was therefore called back. According to the operating instructions, the particle filter cleans itself. Why did this not work with our Mazda 5? The DPF warning light did not light up and thus did not indicate a failure or a cleaning request. When the Mazda was waiting for the tow truck and started again, the DPF warning light lit up. We chose a MAZDA because of the Mazda advertisement with reference to the best breakdown statistics (place 1). Also convinced us was the integrated breakdown service (which should make an ADAC membership really superfluous). Incredible that we now have to pay for this expensive repair. It can not be that we as customers for the already known Mazda Error 2182.07€. Therefore we have asked Mazda to take over the incurred costs. Of the fact that this breakdown for the 2 small children in the middle of the night, in anticipation of sun and sea, was a terrible experience, we do not want to talk. Who has similar experiences? Greetings to me enough inspection costs inspection 07 (20.000) 224.02€ inspection 08 (40.000) 258.16€ inspection 09 (60.000) 436.65€ inspection 10 (80,000) 491.43€ inspection 11 (10,000) 481.08€ total Inspections 1891,34€

  • Brera Test in the Autozeitung of 8.2.2006

    Today in the current car newspaper a comparison test between Brera 3.2, the Mazda RX8 and the Nissan 350 Z. I could only fly over the article so far, which I have seen so far, unfortunately the result is not particularly pleasing. So in this test he will cut the last and above all in the driving dynamics very bad off. Also in the consumption it is with over 15 liters (1 liter more than the Wankel Mazda!!) final light. Must read the article in the evening again in peace. Even if the points are not very large, the result for a new car, which is also seen a little as a symbol or at least as a highlight for the reorientation of Alfa, is sobering – very sad. Reinileini
