  • Taxi Driving the Reality

    Hi, I’m 22, I’m at the beginning of my studies and I’ve tried almost every job for which you don’t need any qualification. I don’t need success: pizza driving, call center, waiters. Since I’m at the beginning of the studum I’ve Googled a lot about the taxi lately. I don’t have a P-shipping license yet. But there’s hardly any real information available on the net. Is there a few taxi drivers or entrepreneurs who can enlighten me? I certainly still have 4-5 years to go. I live in Ludwigshafen on the Rhine, so I could take the local customer exam in Lu or Mannheim. Is it worth it? What is the earned so about? LG Johannes

  • Cylinder head disassembly/assembly

    Hello. Have a Volvo C70 2.0T 120Kw, which now has an engine damage. The 5th cylinder has no compression any more. Since the car has already 220tkm, I do not want to have the repair done in the workshop. At the moment a defective valve is suspected. Have still a similar engine lying around and would only want to change heads. Can someone give me a detailed instruction for this? Thanks Greeting Torsten

  • Audi vs. BMW vs. Mercedes

    Greetings God 🙂 ! Yesterday I looked at the new A6. Should be 10 cm longer than my E. But where are these 10 cm? front and back is the place like my E-Class. The trunk also no bigger than the E Limo. I don’t have to say anything about the 5th. Very nice vehicle… Don’t know how I would decide now, according to the many electronic problems… What does your opinion look like? Greetings, Nomaer_2

  • Kaufberatung Kinetic vs. Momentum

    Hello moose experts, even if it gets serious with the XC60-FL I’m already strongly configuring a D5 at the. As written in the test drive fred I swung as a leather resistor between kinetics and momentum. Now I know it from other car brands so that the higher line is cheaper than the lower line with all extras separately … or there are in this one these extras not all. Current XC60 Pricelist: M + 270€ gü. K With the edge condition B package upgrades a K: – Hig h Performance: in the B-package, costs in the K 560€ more – A-mirror el. 300€ – Carry bag mounting 130€ – Inlay Alu centre console 190€ – Parksens. back in the B-package – Rear flap automatically 500€ – Air sensor 110€ – Inside automatically 150€ – Upholstery Eriksberg 460€ – Rain sensor 100€ in total 250€ At M I get more for the 200€: – Chrome around the ventilation roses – Chrome under the windows – Instr. with “markant aluminium look” (which the D5 also has as K!) – Intarsie in the steering wheel Will that be worth it? Especially since I can do without the upholstery + carrying bag mounting + Alu M console. Then it would be in total 1130€ for “Alu” + “Chrom”. And chrome is from my point of view only with dark paint “obligatory” In white it looks better without the chrome under the windows? Do I make a mistake of thinking on my bill or is that right?

  • Help! Alternator broken at Sprinter 316 CDI?

    Hello colleagues! I was on the road in Italy when front click-crack noises were noticed. On Saturday a mechanic in Verona told me Lima is broken. At speeds of over 1500 noise goes away. The Italian told me no problem until Germany. Now I am in Germany and have to take care of repair. I like to screw a lot and therefore need your advice. By the way, the Lima is oiled. How can I relax ribbed straps? Where is the tensioning roller at 316 CDI? At 312 D weiss ic Where do you get Lima in exchange, price? Can I exchange the bearings myself when ball bearings are in the ass? Of course I will also control carbon brushes. Where do you get carbon brushes for Lima from Sprinter 316 CDI? I will be very grateful for all the advice. By the way, at Daymler, such a repair will cost more than 700 euros.

  • Right before left – exceptions

    HI, has been hopped several times in a residential area with a 30’s zone by drivers, who thought that because they come from the right, they have an advance… here is : first a lowered curb second traffic-relieved zone with signs 326 or 325 As far as I know, vehicles that come from these roads are waiting and have no advance – or has something changed in the meantime and I have been hopped properly ?

  • Car sold via dealer – new buyer has questions

    Hello! About 2 months ago I gave my used car in payment when buying a new car. The car was then probably forwarded by the dealer to another dealer (“purchaser” which has now obviously sold the car. The car given by me in payment (VW Golf IV) has been regularly maintained and has m. E. – I am not an “auto expert” – no obvious flaws, which I would have tacitly concealed. Now a letter of the new owner reached me, de The new owner has approached me with many questions. Little surprising he wants to have some information about the acquired vehicle, e.g. repairs carried out, defects that I have already noticed, there is allegedly a Macke on the rear bumper (of which I don’t know anything), alleged ambiguities with regard to the km stand at the timing belt change (this has been carried out in a VW specialist workshop; evidence is available). r uncertain how to react to this letter: On the one hand, I have nothing to blame myself for any hidden defects, on the other hand, I am very surprised that the new owner approaches me after (!) the purchase and wants further information. Therefore, my question: Can/May/Should I react to this letter – or can I possibly get into a situation in which I have to fear legal consequences? Of course, I know that I do not have a contract Westfalenblitz (Germany) and Westfalenblitz (Germany) have given the car – of course – in payment. Maybe you can give me “relevant” hints on how to react … Thank you and best regards Westfalenblitz

  • BMW N57 engine 530d starts from 3000U/min and blocks heavy gelatin /WHY total rattle

    Hello dear forum, I’ve seen and experienced a lot, but now I’m standing for an absolute rattle and urgently need help and exchange with like-minded screwdrivers. It’s about a 530d F11/F10 N57 engine (N57d30a). The car had a defective on the control chains, were hanged and started to hit, noticed it in the speed range from 1500 to 2300 rpm. So I got new control chains (Original Ina Chains) camshaft high pressure pump, high pressure pump pe crankshaft and crankshaft oil pump. I also replaced the automatic transmission because the original ATG (8HP70) was chips. Everything reassembly engine started again. I thought 🙁 let the engine warm up, runs very quietly in the stationary gas, no dropouts purring, no side noises like knocking or beating. Engine driven 10KM with moderate speed up to 2200 rpm very neatly. At the last 500m I had the feeling (only feeling) that the power was a bit back The car is accelerated to 3000-3500 rpm. The starter doesn’t get the engine turned again. The car is back on the lifts. Everything has been dismantled, control times checked, fit! Nevertheless, the head was disassembled because two cylids did not show the full compression during the pressure test, valves had coked, cleaned and newly ground, –> now OK, engine had not set up, no valves crooked or defective visible. Engine was hard to spin, the S CHWERgang comes from the crankshaft, after ten revolutions again easier to turn I think everything was that it is still a bit heavier than usual. Motor built up again, started, runs up to 2000 rpm very well, from approx. 3000 rpm the engine goes off and the starter gets the engine only very slowly turned (like with empty battery). Hand-turned again, (starter out, engine before and back turned manually on the flywheel) again lightly gäng) starter in, engine star It runs inconspicuously. Engine runs again, accelerates, engine runs out. I don’t know any more and need help… am really desperate! What can this be about? can it be crankshafts / pleul bearings? Ask for your support, maybe someone can upload this text into the FAbucar app Thank you very much Thomas
