  • Is that even worth it ?

    Hello people, I am thinking back and forth about what I should do, ….here my problem… I own a Jetta 2 Bj 92, with 90 hp …1,8l The car goes from the optics, it has the usual traces of use, but from the engine it has already 255000 kilometers down. The things that are defective, I mean in the interior like coming down sky…. I can repair that myself. I would like to tune and build up my car now, so that I mean chassis, clear glass shain thrower r, alu rims etc. but it is worth it with the old engine because even to put so much money into the car still? If I drive with the car, then he swims very much back and forth (shock absorbers and bearings are new) and the motor clacks very loudly, if I turn off the car the motor is still jerking after something, al in all it is a rather bad driving… what do you mean ? should I rather leave the car like this and save it with 3-5 tausen euro and then prefer to pick up new ones or me in money always put in the car ? hm…I want if yes try to do everything that happens myself but right now I can’t do anything as I said yet ! have also niemenaden which could show it to me … thank you for your advice !!!! your hyprix

  • Golf 6 as first car … Alternatives?

    Hello, I’m going to get my first car soon … my favorite is currently a Golf 6. But now I would like to know from you whether you know alternatives or better vehicles that would be better suited for my purposes. The budget for this is currently at 5,500-6,000 (approximately) My demands: -German brand (Audi, VW, Mercedes, BMW … NO Opel, NO Ford) -Preferably 4 doors -halfway respectable interior equipment (so no technology from 2000) -maximum 10/15 years old -m aximal 110,000km -reliable -favorable in maintenance -sufficient performance, I will have to drive a lot of highway and then do not want to stop the traffic with every overtaking maneuver, because my car does not pull properly or similar. And Achja sufficient space for the driver, since I am almost 1.90m Thank you

  • AkusticParkSystem (APS) no longer beeps

    The AkusticParkSystem (APS) on my A6 (built in 10/99) no longer works in the back. Normally a short beep sounds when you start the reverse gear. Now there is only a slightly longer quieter beeping. Almost like a peiffing. If I then approach a hindrance the APS no longer beeps at all. Can it be that just the sensors are too dirty? Or what else can it be?

  • Weaver carburettor set – engine over- and under-greased.

    Hello guys I need your help. I have a classic car (Super Seven) with 2Ltr Ford OHC and 48 IDF double weaver carburetor. When I bought the car, it had to be re-set. But since there are hardly any workshops that can still hire a carburetor, I have read myself the best possible into the matter and tried it. I bought a broadband lambda probe for diagnosis and tried it by Trail & Error until the values as much as possible between The average value, I would type, is 0.9. Apart from the fact that despite the 700kg car the engine still needs its 12-15 liters (I’m afraid this is the 48th weaver), the Sambda probe says that I am 98% of the time in the right range between 0.8 and 1.0. But there are rashes down and up. The rashes are all in the range of 1-2 seconds. Then the value normalizes like The fact that he overgrates for a short time is only begrent tragic in my eyes. The values over 1.0 bother me more. If I step through the gas pedal abruptly between 2,000 and 3,000 rpm, it happens (about 25% of the cases) that the mixture becomes thin for about 1-1.5 seconds according to Lambda probe, then to return to the normal range again, although I leave the foot on the gas. Moreover, he has the tendency, if I take away the gas abruptly between 2,000 and 3,000 rpm, the Lambda jumps Value also likes to be 1.1 times and the engine pastes (easy bangs in the exhaust). I can turn this off by short minimum gas giving. Unfortunately, I find nowhere good clues, which I should correctly change (or do I not have to?). Some say I just have to go down 5 points air correction nozzle so that the mixture generally gets fatter, others say I have to take main nozzle and LKD both 5 points larger. Currently I drive the Kombi 130 / 175. I do not have a full set at Haupt But I buy what I need if I know which direction I need to test. Can someone with some theory help me further?

  • Fiat 500 1.3 Multijet strong exhaust odour.

    Hello all, I bought a Fiat 500 1.3 Multijet Euro 5 year 2013 with 155,000 km. After the purchase I found that the car smells like exhaust gases. When you stand at the traffic light, the smell also comes into the interior. In the underground garage the exhaust smell is also very strong when I park and get out. I also drove in the other car after the Fiat, and the strong exhaust smell is so strong that all drivers driving behind me, he Although the strong smell is present, there are no errors in the fault memory. There is no smoke coming out of the exhaust, and all seals around the exhaust are tight. I can also read the live data, but which exactly? And what should they look like? Unfortunately, I have no experience with it. Maybe someone can give me a hint what it might be like?

  • Porsche with Tiptronic in winter

    Good evening together, since it will soon be quite cold again and the first winter with a Porsche 996 is at the door I wanted to ask a little bit about who is driving with the Porsche in winter with snow here? I already have a feeling a little bit, since I have no idea at all how an automatic car drives on snow? Is a Carrera 4. Can I imagine, however, that the constantly attached torque makes the thing a bit more difficult. Turn D into N and back again or shouldn’t you do that to love the gearbox?
