  • Tires of ebäh but seller does not report?!

    Moin, have bought a used, suitable tire from Conti at ebäh. However, at a price of 1.60 € and then the seller does not report, ebay says I should just step back from the purchase. A telephone number is not to be determined. Do I have to accept it?Has someone similar, and an idea as I should behave? Joe P.S. I have bought the one tire because I still have the problem with my wrongly set fall, and on my complaint the assembly company is still running.

  • Cylinder head gasket at Omega B 3.0 MV6

    Hello; We probably have a problem with the cylinder head gasket with the Omega B 3.0 MV 6 of my father. Time from the very beginning: About 3 weeks ago we brought the Omega into a workshop to change the timing belt with all the necessary parts and the water pump. After we picked up the car, the cooling fluid sank down after about 3 days and we had to refill it. Well, we thought that there was still air in the system and didn’t think of anything. However, we have had to refill several times and are therefore yesterday again to the workshop. The mechanic now thinks that the cylinder head is broken. The cooling liquid goes probably into the combustion room, because it does not drip out anywhere. In the oil however no water can be seen. From the exhaust comes also no noticeable smoke. It is strange that the cooling liquid only disappears from the timing belt change. Before that we only had to look after it before travelling and before the W inter. But we never had to refill much. Can it have anything to do with the timing belt and water pump change? How much does an exchange of the cylinder head seal or the cylinder head usually cost? I don’t have a good feeling at the workshop now and want to know if the costs are attached there or not. Thank you for your help! Greeting Anna

  • Used car bought. Previous owner did not pay insurance.

    Dear Motortalkler, a few weeks ago I bought a used car for approx. 500€. It was submitted to me and used the ADAC purchase contract. In the purchase contract of 01.07. it is noted that the car is transferred to the buyer’s possession as soon as the purchase price is fully paid. Since there were still missing (HU reports) it was agreed to pay 100€ of the purchase price when the missing documents were handed over. I received the missing documents by the seller three days late he and paid the full purchase price on that day. Due to appointments and the short opening hours of the road traffic office, I did not report the car until 5 working days after it had finally entered into my possession. Shortly afterwards I received by registered order that I would have to shut down the vehicle immediately since beginning of 2015 no insurance cover would exist. In addition, I received a cost determination notice about approx. 60€. PS: ADAC purchase contract says “KFZ remains the property of the seller until the purchase price has been paid in full” and “the buyer immediately informs the vehicle owner of the transaction”.

  • Problems – Driver’s footroom wet

    Hello people Have just a problem with the Volvo 940 of a known. (Bj 98 121 KW, Automatic, climate to 2 9101 to 3 763) For some time week after week about 200ml of water is missing in the balance tank often fog the windows in the interior and the floor in the driver’s footroom is wet… My suspicion was from the beginning heating cooler/heat exchanger. I tried to read several times in the forum what it might be about and found something with a valve above the pedals and stop the heater cooler /heat exchanger that is supposed to sit above the passenger footroom.. but there it is not wet.. I only saw driver’s footroom on the right that there was a drop of liquid hanging at the exit of the lower ventilation but was not sure if it is not possibly only water and since the side of the carpet was not wet I am not confused… Found the order very strange… Well maybe someone knows indeed guess.. Has someone possibly got an idea like the heat exchanger out of the whole mess or possibly pictures ???

  • Important questions about the 760 Oldie

    Hello, I am since the 1.4 proud owner of a 1983 760GLE (Automatics, 2.8L, 156hp) with 152tkm on the clock. Is my first vintage car but I just wanted the box absolutely and am very satisfied with it. However, there are now and certainly also in the future questions with which I need help. Therefore also my registration in this forum (pictures of the car I added to my profile). The previous owner could not since he sold the car for his mother-in-law not t say whether I have to refuel Superplus and lead replacement or can drive with Super95? Currently I have a consumption of 20L/100km (I try to drive sparingly but somehow everything does not help). I have to say that mostly short distances have been driven in the city. Is this normal or is it not true? In a crack is a small hole that I still have to weld. Could this contribute to the increased consumption? Besides, I had already started twice in wet weather. What could that be and what can I do? Thank you very much in advance! LG Tim

  • When new base gasoline for the V70 III?

    When are new base gasoline engines for the V70 (III) coming? It’s nice that the V70 can now be ordered, but many people probably do not use the turbos and 6/8 cylinders for this traditional family combination and are still waiting for solid entry-level variants. With the vehicle weight a 170/180 hp variant would probably be due. Is it already known when there will be further variants? Ford is thanks? I like the new Volvos quite well up to now except for the outdated engine technology. the automatic transmission, the fuel consumption … (oh, what am I talking about here, the things are mainly produced for the North American market, or am I crazy?) … lower or start/stop – automatics, brake energy storage, etc. I dream again in my bed, good night for now! Gruss D.F. Too bad, nice car actually …

  • Article on the new V70 in welt.de

    Here eats not much in it, much blabla, in addition the usual “…. he even gives off sporty undertones. Thus ….. even quite fun comes up.” (as if you would need this for driving fun now absolutely) and you celebrate things like electromechanoscvhe parking brake or electric rear flap as an advantage. The ground tenor is positive whereby this was probably more a visit in the stand. More advertising contribution as information Rapace

  • From Nissan Micra to Suzuki Swift

    So… I currently have a Nissan Micra (built in 2003) and I am absolutely dissatisfied, so far I have put a lot of money in this car about repertures and so I just want to see that I get rid of the car. I have decided now for a Suzuki Swift 1.3 92 HP. I have already informed myself a little bit and have decided to import an EU. My question now, where exactly is the difference between EU import and one for the EU import? n German market produced cars, apart from the price? What do I have to pay attention to? What is important etc.? Does anyone also have test reports about the Suzuki Swift or certain websites in the ghetto? Thank you!
