  • who can help a helpless woman with a problem with V 40!

    Hello, I urgently need help. I have to go to the TΓΌV and just now a warning light goes on forever. I unfortunately only have a Swedish manual. So who has a German manual or/and can tell me what it means when the warning light (description: round BIRNE with exclamation mark) lights up. What problem can there possibly exist? Thank you very much.

  • Nu it happened… no tuv.

    hello forum! last Monday it happened, I wanted to drive my elch with the best certain to tuv and hide the plaque. I met a friendly, but penible examiner. result was an eternal long list of defects with partly real lapalia. starting from headlamp creation wrong (ok, is made!), exhaust system damaged / defective (very slight clacking on the curvature… how can he hear that? could also have been the injection nozzles), windscreen wiper rear This was also problematic, that my dipped-beam stays on with the refitted clear glasses with activated remote light. according to the examiner, this is not permissible but if far-light, then only far-light and otherwise nocturnal. however, I was 100per sure that the switching of the series vehicles with clear glass is exactly like this. a short telephone call of the examiner could then confirm my opinion… and so it went on… but now two posts are coming to me after all First, the free movement of the left front wheel should not be given. at full impact and full suspension of the damper, the wheel comes to the inner cladding of the wheel box. how often does that happen? once a year at 2kmh maybe. a pity, I’ll probably have to fix it. does someone happen where I get a deflection limiter for the v40? volvo has nothing special in the program and wanted me for 200€ what base ln. would also springway limiters bring what? secondly, my ignition lock (!) was checked and the following criticized. the steering wheel lock can already be snapped at key position 0. plastically presented: I drive, turn off the engine, wobble on the steering wheel and leave the car. this is not allowed however, since the lock can only be activated after the pull off of the key. honestly, I never noticed and has never been checked. for each case i is a new ignition lock really expensive. does anyone know the exact price? new key necessary or will a suitable one be delivered? how is it actually with this steering wheel lock… what would be if I completely destroy the steering wheel lock? then it can no longer grasp too soon or is the lock part of the vehicle’s registration? low greetings, max

  • Bicycle carrier…?

    Hello, we need a bicycle carrier for our summer holiday this year. We already have cross struts, which are attached to the roof rail. How much are the fitting attachments that you can then also pack on wheels? Or are there also rear luggage carriers? Are these recommended, pros and cons? So far we had only roof carriers on our old cars had. What solution do you have? Greeting, Willy

  • Purchase advice Accord Bj.96

    Hello, yesterday I looked at a Honda Accord , year 96 and was enthusiastic about this car! For a 9-year-old he already has a lot of safety equipment of today’s car. Also of the appearance he does not follow today’s in anything. If I compare a VW or Opel to it….;-) My VAT has always been enthusiastic about JApaners and a former acquaintance was even a Honda fan. Unfortunately, after the move the contact has broken off. So, I make my request for a Kaufberatung h It should already be a family coach, somehow around year 96/97. which engines were there then, which were also reliable( are)?The more power the better πŸ™‚ Is it possible with E2? Or is a nacharmett? we are reliable these vehicles? rust, transmission, drive unit, engine life? Unfortunately, it had to find out that the price range is very extreme. So you get an Accord, year 96 with approx.90.000km from 2900,- to 5,000€ why is that so? Please share your experience with me. What do I have to pay attention to at the Kauf? Danke cu swissi

  • Front brake disc

    Hi, I just saw in pictures that the 2007 models have apparently floating brake discs. Since I am disturbed by the slight grinding noise of my brake disc and I want to switch to EBC brake pads, my question: Do the new discs fit my 2003 HD without modifications? The brake pliers look optically unmodified. I don’t want to use the EBC brake discs, because of the gold coloration, I don’t like that. Thanks, Sven

  • No more vehicle letter at 125?

    Hi guys, My wife registered our 125s last week. Mondial SMX 125i with 11kw. It was a new vehicle and we did not get a vehicle letter at the registration office. To the vehicle itself we got a DIN A4 sheet, on which all data are now also to be found in the vehicle license. Is there no more letter for this class? How do you know then the number of previous owners? Greetings Dodger

  • “Fishing car” to 3TEUR wanted, Citroen Berlingo ????

    Hello! Since I have already received some good tips here in the forum, I would like to contact you again. Our son (19 years) is passionate angler and “abused” our second car (Toyota Aygo) regularly as a transport box for his fishing trips. The cart is stuffed up to the roof with equipment (lounge, tent, fishing, transport trolley etc.). The there then also the one or other scratch inside and outside remains probably understandable. And now my wife e in P (because the Aygo is actually “their” second car). Since junior, however, the car not only for fishing but also needed to come to work in the morning (simple drive about 9km, industrial mechanic), we have decided a third car must well or badly. We thought of a Berlingo, because it offers enough space and also from the budget (that should not exceed 3,000 euros) is still good. What do you think about the two attached candidates?http://berufen. mobile.de/…/details.html?…http://suchen.mobile.de/…/details.html?… If you have anything else interesting about this. The car should be within 200km of us (48527 county Bentheim). Whether diesel or petrol is not important to us, if there are some advantages, we would be happy to advise you. As a year-long performance I guess 12-15 thousand. So, that’s it. Thanks for your note.

  • Starter car C1, i10, twingo?

    Hello together, I would like to buy my first own car next spring. I have been driving the driver’s license for a long time, but I have very little driving and therefore need a car that is easy to drive. I can’t decide at all now πŸ™ The Hyundai i10 was car of the year and goes for city traffic as well as country road. It has 5 years warranty, but I find the design “sleep” and I have to look at the car every day. I think about the motorization, because I need almost the 90 hp turbo for the highway. However, the turbo does not have the best reviews and also needs relatively much fuel. The automatic version should be good, but is above my budget. The C1 (feel or shine) with 82 hp seems to be a good alternative, but the price with a few extras is fast over 12,000 euros. Luggage compartment and space in the rear area are tiny, which I could live with. Can someone give me a give some advice on which car would be a good choice? Dacia is almost too big (over 4 meters long) and other brands are out of the question, because a solid dealer including good workshop near my place of residence is important to me. Thank you for your imput in advance!

  • Beginner’s car for ~400€

    Hey guys, I got my driver’s license on Friday and am now looking for my first car. I need the vehicle mainly to get to work (15,000km a year), in between I will only drive short distances and a few times a year a little longer distances (<350km). Since I don't need much power and little space, a small compact car should be enough for me. As far as the manufacturer is concerned, I'm open to everything as long as it's not heading for Grandpa. l Agila, Fiat Panda or Chevrolet Matiz goes. Personally I find the VW Polo IV 9N3 appealing, but these are mostly only with >80.000km in my budget. I ask myself the question how high the mileage can be or how much is without hesitation? My budget is at 4000€, so I have about 1000€ for repairs and similar things available. The maintenance costs (including consumption) should be as low as possible. I would be happy if I were to use this information. a few cars could recommend, with many greetings BorkenStyler
