I bought a rare car. Cadillac CTS-V from 2012. I want to buy winter rims and mature, but there is no one. I talked to TUV and it doesn’t help. says the TUV ingeniur only “find a share report with your exact car”. But there is no one. What can I do? When it’s not obvious, my German is not yet good. (I also posted this in the english forum https://www.motor-talk.de/…and-how-to-move-forward-t6737155.html) I am a n ingeniur, and would like to find something that goes for individual acceptance, but I don’t have so much time. Do you know anyone to talk to? Thank you

Small car with the largest possible trunk
Hello dear people, I am looking for a nice small car that is as clear as possible, which also offers some space in the trunk. I have driven only Corsa B for the last 10 years, my current one has already 15 years on the hump and should be replaced over short or long. Unfortunately, the newer car models are no longer as clear as before, i.e. the windows are getting smaller and slitter and the on-board computer is getting higher and higher, so that you don’t have so much The old Corsa didn’t have a giant case room, but you could buy (including water boxes) and store sports bags, ski bags, etc. there, without having to fold over the rear seats. I don’t like the newer Corsa models so much anymore. Does anyone want an idea which car would fit? The VW-up is already out, it’s too small for me.

All airbags open in the accident?
The following situation: Yesterday I passed a “fresh” accident location on foot. There was nothing more to do for a first responder. Accident site secured, no casualties, etc. Participating vehicles: A fairly new Audi A3 and a 320d of the new series. As it happened, I don’t know. I didn’t ask either, because I only quickly looked for what to help. The Audi had pushed in the complete front, both front airbags were triggered and hung limply in their V The front airbags did not seem to have been triggered. In the event of an accident, the airbags are triggered by sensors and help at the planned location. My question: why didn’t all airbags open? Or would it have been counterproductive if all available airbags had jumped on? Bye Tex

Financing Santander
Hello we want to finance a Picanto at a car dealership, he would cost 10990€. The financing would run through the Santander. I got a contract where a installment insurance and the santander safe insurance are already used but I’m not sure if I want this insurance or if it’s just money making. p.s. We both have secure full-time jobs and I’m 24 (because of sudden death or so) the RSV would cost 130€ and the safes 600€. ch unfortunately have found nothing useful so far

What is a 1979 Trans Am bandit worth – as a GOOD copy?
I’ve been swarming about Trans Am since my time as a little boy, but only in optics 1979-1981. Real TA 6.6 from 1979 is now quite expensive – a good guy is supposed to cost 40 grand. I was told. Now I was offered a “clone” for 25 in the bandit look (black/gold). Has a 5.7 liter with allegedly 250-300 hp. T-tops. The sound is ultra-cool condition absolutely TOP – inside as well as outside. Car is in D, H-approval however, it has no. Listens to a collector whom I ken ne, and who keeps his cars TOP in fire. Questions: What price is realistic? Could there be problems with the H approval?

2. Accident in the first 2 weeks with driver’s license
Hey, I have a little problem.. had the 2nd accident in 2 weeks and that even though I only had my driver’s license for 2 1/2 weeks… The first one wasn’t really bad, I slipped a little bit on dirt or dry needles in a curve and banged on the handlebar. Was actually not a big topic, did not give any other participants and I was fine. Today I drove into a car in a rather confusing curve and with the handlebar and my hand I got the S I don’t know yet, I was taken to the hospital right away. I didn’t know how that could happen, whether it was riding on my side or I wasn’t focused enough. I have the feeling that riding a motorcycle is just nothing for me or that I can’t drive as safely as before because I’m always afraid that I’m building another accident. I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to drive a motorcycle. Do you have any advice what I could do?

Relevance of (correct) alignment of a rear silencer
Hello! I would be interested to know if it has a technical relevance if the “Pott” in the case of a rear muffler is, so to speak, not aligned correctly with the “Pott” or horizontally. Does this have a relevance with regard to the condensate? Are there holes in the interior, for example, where the condensate can not flow correctly due to the installation position or, so to speak, remains in a “wrong” position? Is it really about the example that can be seen in the picture? Actually, it is common that the oval of the shape of the rear silencer is not so twisted, but hangs in something like this: 0 . But one could hardly have done it differently than to mount it as shown in the picture, because of the guidance of the outlet piece in this particular case, right? I’m curious about your answers.

Experts call for speed 120 on motorway
http://www.spiegel.de/auto/aktuell/0,1518,360962,00.html The damage that road traffic continues to cause to health and the environment is unacceptable, notes a committee at the Federal Environment Ministry and calls for speed limits and higher ecotaxes. Berlin – “In addition to Germany, only three countries in Europe do not have a speed limit. These are Latvia, Estonia and Malta”, said Peter Michaelis of the Expert Council on Environment at the Federal Environment Ministry on Friday i n Berlin. The panel handed over a special report to the Federal Government, according to which, despite all technical advances, the car continues to cause significant damage to health. “The resulting damage to health and the environment caused by road traffic is still unacceptable,” the study says. The scientists call for the introduction of a speed limit of 120 km per hour on motorways in the medium term to protect the environment and health. The environmental tax should be continuously increased. Road traffic must be reduced, otherwise the environmental and health consequences could not be reduced to an acceptable level. A high level of mobility is also possible with less traffic. The experts criticise that the German automotive industry has “very much sleepy”. Road traffic is responsible for about 20 per cent of air pollution from coal. “Diesel soot particles increase the risk of lung cancer and lead to chronic respiratory diseases.” New vehicles need to be equipped with particulate filters as standard. 60 percent of the population also felt harassed by traffic noise. This increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. ADAC: Tempolimits do not bring anything to the environment minister Jürgen Trittin (Greens) said: “The car of the future must be highly efficient and emission-free. By 2020, we want to increase the share of alternative fuels in the market to 25 percent.” The Federal Ministry of Transport referred to climate protection measures already launched, such as eco-tax, truck toll, emission-related vehicle tax and the voluntary commitment of the automotive industry to reduce the average fuel consumption by 25 percent. The “Alliance of Pro-Rail” said: “The disastrous environmental balance of road transport, as the Council of Experts noted, shows that it is more necessary to move towards a sustainable transport policy than ever before.” However, environmental reports are regularly drawn up, “but little is happening”. On the other hand, the ADAC President Peter Mayer criticises the expert council’s demand. “A speed limit is not much for the environment either. ng has shown that emissions are only minimal at a speed limit,” said Mayer to the Berlin Tagesspiegel. In addition, motorways are the safest roads.

ESP no thanks!
IMHO increasingly serves to overwhelm weaknesses of the chassis by electronic manipulation. Reason: in the event of the failure of several current cars with ESP, in border situations, they are much more “disgusting” than their predecessors, where even more solid engineering was required in the chassis.

Up to 2 litres more consumption only by road surface ??
Moin, I noticed something unusual the other day when I was on the AB again. Is it actually possible that only by the road surface the consumption can change like this? And I drove from Hamburg to Soltau at an even speed, and suddenly my instant consumption on the BC changed by two liters at a constant speed (no drop or other). So I conclude that the road surface has changed. But is that actually true? I can? a whole two liters in consumption? (that would be 20% more consumption). I actually exclude my BC a Macke. What do you look like? Or did you notice something like that? Greetings
