  • Scissor lift 1m, 1.2m or low platform

    Hello together First of all, the stage should stand in the carport, so I will only be able to take advantage of a maximum lifting height of 80cm depending on the vehicle. In about 3 years, a garage is planned elsewhere, where I could then use about 1.6m height. Purpose of use: maintenance, tyre change, polishing and various optimization work on my hobby cars. To the selection are scissor platforms with 1m, 1.2m or the Twin Busch 2 columns garage platform with 1.6m stroke. 1mhttps://hebebuehnen-kroemer.de/…nhebebuehne-kroemer-weimar- 3-5t.html 1,2mhttps://hebebuehnen-kroemer.de/…mer-scherenehebuehne-3500kg-x45.html 2 columnshttps://www.twinbusch.de/product_info.php?products_id=335 I am currently stuck at KrΓΆmer, because all variants are available and directly at my door, i.e. self-collection. Favor is currently variant 1, because 990mm rail distance and no ramping up when draining. Against the initially favored Twin Busch speaks that I first have to pour a foundation, which may be in my way later. and that the stage has only 225cm width (my widest vehicle has 2m) Make the 20cm height difference of the scissors a big difference? Working properly from below is only possible in Hockposition anyway. How are your experiences? Greeting Dirk

  • Recommendations for easily transportable jacks?

    Hello, I’m looking for a reasonable 2T jack to do work on the parking lot like oil change, wheel change etc. My really absolute limit is 200€, which I think is enough for a layman. It’s really important to me that you can just get the jack out of the basement for a short time, i.e. little weight and easy to transport. And he should of course also last a few years. I’m looking forward to your recommendations.

  • CDI broken???

    Hello, I have an Aprilia scooter, whose type and version is described in the papers as VF. I don’t know if you can see by what type of model it is. I had already driven a few kilometers today and did a short stop and then the E-start no longer works. Also no ticker, that the scooter would still start, but simply nothing at all. First of all panic, because it did not work even after several attempts. rdings the scooter jumped directly over the kickstarter and I still drove home. I then asked a friend what the problem could be and he thought the CDI was broken. Now I had read something here and it was written, with the CDI no more kickstarter should go. Now I ask myself, what else could the problem be? Would I be very happy about answers. Your Angie*

  • Drive car with 95 octan petrol after performance increase

    Hello together, What’s your experience with 95 petrol in cars with chip tuning to continue driving? Of course not always, but only in case of emergency, if there is nothing better (98 octan or better) in the range. Is it OK for cca. 3300RPM or cca. 130km/h highway speed? I drive an S4 B8 3.0L TFSI supercharged and I’m looking for chip tuning offers. It’s also my long-stretch car, and a 98 petrol is not always available everywhere.

  • What are my chances of car financing?

    Servus, my training ends in August and will be taken over for a limited period of time. I will only be permanently in 1 year. I would like to get an Audi A4 or Skoda Superb if possible this year. However, since I have only saved 3000€, as well as only one car, which is between 4000 and 500€ worth, it will not be enough for a cash payment. The price of the cars is depending on the brand and model between 29 – 35tsd Euro. My colleague in training has a car for 15tsd at VW. No one had to vouch for them or anything else. Do the car dealerships have their own banks? How does that work? At the savings bank, they want to see an indefinite contract. What are my options? They will probably ask themselves why I don’t want to wait until I am taken over indefinitely. Well, I finally want to buy a nice car, which I would like to drive for many years. Thanks to the current policy everything becomes more expensive until you can buy nothing more. Better now than never. I would appreciate nice and helpful comments Greeting Lukas

  • VarioCredit Vehicle take-over/residual value inappropriate/Experiences

    Hello, the following concerns: My Audi is running via a VarioCredit at the Audi bank. It is a 2017 A4 B9 2.0 TDI, the contract is still running for 2 years from today. I always think about what I am doing with the vehicle at the end of the runtime. I could have imagined that I will take over the vehicle at the end. But now it’s the case that my Audi’s online estimates are already significantly less valuable (about 700€) than the predicted R In the meantime, it might be due to the diesel problem and the 2 facelifts. Now it would be a bad business for me to take over mine, because I could get “better” vehicles (also at the same dealer) for the same price. Are there experience values, how dealers deal with this issue? You have to take back the cars, so also have the high residual rate on the cheek? Do the internal with the Audi bank clarify or will this simply be used as a And do you think that this again gives me room for negotiation? According to the motto: “I take it to the current course, because otherwise you don’t get rid of it better?” πŸ™‚ I’m probably not the first one to play through this topic mentally. Is there something worth experiencing about it? PS.: And no, I don’t want to damage or snarle a dealer, but just look at how I like the best? PS.: And no, I don’t want to damage or snarle a dealer, but just look at how I like the best I make a cut, just like everyone else πŸ™‚ Thank you for your answers!

  • The US Car Cruising Thread

    Hi Cruiser I’m in favour of making a cruising thread here, because that’s what this is all about when driving a US car! Post your experiences and especially your cruising videos! So newcomers can catch the feeling of driving a US car a little bit. The vehicles are much better to enjoy in action than in sterile photos. I start with:Mustang Generation Cruising Switzerland from June 2008 (Yesterday) Looking forward to your posts Bluesilentpro

  • Why does a diesel convert less energy into heat?

    Moin. A diesel engine is known to be much slower warm than a gasoline engine. One reason is that the diesel engine generally has more mass than a gasoline engine. However, that is not the main reason. The main reason is more that when combustion is less heat than with the gasoline engine, which I do not understand at all. Diesel has more energy per litre than gasoline, because the energy density is higher, so less diesel can be injected into an engine than in a petrol engine and despite the diesel has a lot of power. But now comes the point that I don’t understand. Why is there now less heat than in a gasoline engine? Example: in a gasoline engine is now injected so much gasoline, that exactly as much energy is now available, as in a diesel engine diesel is injected. And the combustion of the diesel runs however, less warm off, than in the gasoline engine, although in both engines now exactly “same” energy available I hope you understand what I mean. And by the way, I’m new here, so please don’t be surprised if anything is wrong here.
