Depending on the model, the vehicle manufacturers recommend changing the timing belt between 80,000 and 140,000 kilometers driven (sometimes more) or at a vehicle age of 10 or more years. It is very important, because a rip can cause a capital engine damage. Now I have seen very detailed technical details in sales platforms, but whether and when the timing belt was exchanged or not is not exchanged, does not appear anywhere. I suspect that a conscientious Priva tauto salesman acts caringly, if he has the timing belt exchanged shortly before the sale at due time. I agree that the intended timing belt exchange also indicates a fair seller before sale or is the buyer simply to blame if he does not pay attention to this important detail and possibly gets an engine damage.

Cable drum left in the parking lot, brought in bmw.
Hey guys, I had a construction site last night where I had to get electricity from somewhere else and so also a cable drum had to come. When the construction site was cleared at the end, I left the cable drum in the parking lot and I went in to the house to get the cable out…. In the time someone was driving against the cable drum. However, the cable drum was standing at the head where you actually didn’t get it at all. it was not even his parking lot. Now there’s a fat bill of 2700 euros for two scratches that can’t even come from the plastic cable drum so from the height. The whole thing is still being checked anyway and everything would interest me, what is said?! MFG

Change insurance again
Hello guys, I bought a caravan 4 weeks ago. In advance I had talked to my insurance man about the Axa.He had made me an offer which had listened well.So I had obtained a number (formerly cover card).The WOWA registered. Was now on vacation (not with the WOWA).When I came back now I wanted to make nails with heads.The specified value of the WOWA is 22000€ and the contribution is much higher than in the offer. I’ve never had the number 800€ on the screen. Now the good man wants 850€ VK a year.Frank!! But since I didn’t have anything yet and have not signed yet it should be possible if I unregister the thing again and then register with a new number from the other insurance company e.g. DEVK,or??? Does anyone have any idea? Please for help!! Greeting Freddy101

Allow for father’s car?
Hi, I bought a used car in cash. The insurer is my father, super insurance policy. well, he currently has absolutely no time to drive with me to the registration office he thought it was enough if he gave me a proxy. Ok so far true that sure but what must be in the authorization? Since car still has to be fetched the insurance has sent me the EVB number for that short-term license plate and for that correct license plate. ole I go there right around the corner to the registration office and get the KZK afterwards I drive to “my” registration office and let the car “right”. Does he have to issue me 2 authorizations or what is that? Thank you, nice day Edit: And what kind of documents do I need for the KZK and the normal registration plates?

Residual value determination of insurance by residual value exchange?
Hello, had an accident without fault. The opposing insurance has set the replacement value to 7500 euros and the remaining value to 2880 euros. To get to the 2880 euros, my car was put in for a day at “AUTOonline” and a dealer has offered 2880 euros. So far so good, but can the insurance take this simply as the residual value? That the dealer pays so much, does not mean that the car is actually worth so much, doesn’t it? An independent expert has the However, he only gave 6300 euros as replacement value. Of course, I would like to have the highest replacement value and the lowest residual value. So a mix of both… Have a bit of panic now, that if the opposing insurance sees the report from the independent expert, the data changes in their favor. So lowers the replacement value… is that possible?

“Extended Edior” direk in thread
Hello workshop, that you have an input field right at the end of each thread to be able to answer directly, is very comfortable. In fact, I start typing my answer there in about 90% of the cases. However, I turn again in maybe 50% of the cases to the “extended editor”, because with the simple editor simply the complete toolbar is missing I want to insert a link or format text more often. Of course, you can also do this by using the tags typed by hand, but that’s not really meaning of the thing and above all error-prone, so that you have to correct the post in the end after all (in the extended editor). What’s against simply showing the extended editor or at least the editor toolbar for inserting the tags directly in the thread? The simple editor in the current form is simply too primitive and the subsequent change to the extended editor is annoying, because then one always there first about the yellow Message must restore the text (which in about 1% of cases is not clappy, very annoying!).

Turbo damage caused by cracks in pressure hoses?
Hi all together, the other day a friend who works at an Audi specialist workshop (Dannercker & Laudin) told me that they have seen many TT in the workshop that have a turbo damage. The reason for the turbo damage are small cracks in the pressure hoses. The Turbo tries to balance the missing air of course it has to turn faster. And already you have the salad. He recommended to replace the pressure hoses because the original hoses are bad. 🙂 now I wanted to ask: – if someone has already changed their hoses – what experiences you have made with def. pressure hoses. – and for which you can exchange the original ones best. p.s. know someone a homepage where you can buy “Samco” (I think so the company) pressure hoses.

Start problems
Hello together, so today my little one didn’t want to start right – it worked at the first ignition, but it took longer than usual. I immediately queried the climate code 20, but were so about the 14.0 V, after switching on d. Completed ~ 13.7 V – so actually reasonable values, or can you not rely on these values so and can not close the on-board voltage to the preliminary voltage of the battery? Only in July 2003 had a new battery installed! Greetings Ritchie (TTc 225PS quattro, Built 99)

Chiptuning collectibles. Who’s in?
To all those who are still looking for a chip and or hardware tuning: I have been offered a chance to get chip tuning for all 1.8T engines according to customer requirements and on good conditions. It is not about chips from the bar, but about individually adapted parameters. In individual cases already made modifications such as exhaust systems, charging air coolers, modified intake systems etc. can be taken into account. This is what I do if I can estimate if and how many people are interested in it. Only then can I talk to them about such things as prices, guarantees, service, etc.. Of course, if any of you contact us, there is nothing to be considered as compulsion. If you finally decide to do it, you do it yourself and not me. I would of course, depending on how it all goes on, come with you. So much in advance: it is sic h around a down-to-earth company here in the area of Ibbenbüren (between Münster and Osnabrück), which operate among other things a motor vehicle master operation and build racing vehicles or motors. So of the hardware they have already known, a performance test stand is available. Special area seems to be 1.8 engines from the VW Group. Names and Internet addresses I do not want to post here publicly because of slip advertising, but per pn I like to publish them. If someone knows which company it is then I ask these participants not to announce anything here. So, and now I’m waiting. Gruss Markus
