A few days ago on the highway professional traffic my car didn’t go all the time out of it sprang through the starter, only if I let the clutch come he went on and when I stepped on the clutch he went out again. So with panic I am left lane on right over pulled through line 200m further on the side strips warning flasher at behind me a police vehicle with STOP on the roof. My vehicle didn’t jump next to the officers. He said there was an ad that took my personal details and drove on. I called a tow service error LMM defective. What would come on me now?

  • BMW 730D 2006 experience after 3000tkm

    Hello, I recently created a thread to advise myself about buying v. a BMW 730D facelift. I drive around 15tkm to 20tkm a year. 70% highway, rest city and country road The vehicle had about 129tkm on it when I bought it. Now after 2weeks and my first 3000km I can pull 1st balance. I drive the automatic gearbox mainly in the D and the consumption was at highway between OÖ and Nuremberg at 7.5litres. I drove constantly with the cruise control. For a 2t Vehicle is a top value! In the city and out of town I unfortunately do not come under 9,2liter. The driven in sports version a bit high-touring, and I still don’t know where I can use the sport mode. Since the 231PS engine is neat power and even with the D mode it is very fast inside processing is lace, no crackling or anything else. I chose the facelift because most problems have been fixed and I improve inside with the small details I have to notice that my previous vehicle was an Audi with Bang&Olifs. which I am missing now. I-Drive works perfectly. The change from Audi to Audi was very easy for me. Wide screen has a very good constrast and the Navi also functions without invention. The voice control recognizes every word without practice. The sports seats are very comfortable and offer nothing to stop even when driving for a long time. Will have the next service done after 4tkm, according to Servicehe ft oil change. Let’s see what the fun will cost. I have not tried the vehicle with other engines, so I can only report about mine. I like the motorization very well and economically, it can recommend it to anyone.

  • Refurbish the BMW 740

    Hello dear community, I still have an old BMW 740 in the garage, the old model built in 1996, V8 with 286hp, if I am not mistaken. A classic that I would like to make something for my son. The good piece has 108,000 kilometers on the hump and my first question is whether it is still worth making the good piece. What can everything be broken??? With the catalyst it will be expensive, could it be broken soon? So what I thought: interior is top, like new, just sucked it and wiped it, you don’t have to do anything. Outside: I use a new mirror on the right (the old one ripped out, so the plastic holder) New taillight covers would be used (as in the picture), and on the front maybe new lamps, xenon or something like that. In addition, I would like to install a sports exhaust system, also cut 4 new tailpipes and 2 holes into the rear plastic bumper (as in the picture) Here the picture with my desired “Auspu” ffprojekt” and desired rear lights:http://static.pagenstecher.de/uploads/f/f3/f39/f39e/bmw_0101.JPG Here is the 2nd question, where do I get all the additional parts (mirrors, rear lights, front new lamps, sports exhaust system) and how much will that cost me? Then I would like to sand off and paint over all the slightly rusting spots, or should I do it right away? They would “clean” the bottom surface, wouldn’t they? And here would be the 3rd question, what should I do? I hope you can help me! Yours sincerely, Karl

  • Practise. Test Kl. B / Do you have to drive with gear to the red traffic light ?

    Hello Motor-Talk-Gemeinde, my wife and my stepsohn come from Ukraine, have had a driving license there for years incl. driving experience and now have to do the German driving license B (rewrite). You have to do “only” the Teoretic and practical exam B. Theory already done, now comes the practice: Today both have driven with a driving teacher. This then said that both have to take many hours to learn to drive with gear to the red traffic light. The old A utos in Ukraine go out if you leave the gear in it. Of course it is better if you uncouple “in the last moment”, but is this also relevant to the exam ?? Is there a law that forbids you to take the gear out before ????? Info would be great !!!

  • 2x flashed on red

    Hello motor-talkers, as the question shows, we were flashed when we crossed one from yellow to red switching traffic light. I don’t know if it was longer than 1sec. At the first flash one looked directly into the camera without knowing that it was there. At the second flash the hand was held in front of the mouth in fear. Sounds strange, reflex of the disfiguration, please not evaluate, haha, I find it funny myself. We = my cousin and I, the cousin drove, I was on the Backseat. The car is allowed on my husband, that means he gets mail. To my regret, my cousin looks like me, both long brown hair, glasses, etc. Family just. The difference is in the place of residence, I live in Germany, my cousin in Chile. My question: how would you proceed after receiving the letter? Should my husband write that his wife’s cousin has driven or made use of his private law? Does he have it at all? If the second, like Is it going to go on? Does he have to give the address of my cousin and she gets the notification sent to Chile? She is about to move, what if the notification cannot be delivered? And what if further mail can no longer be delivered to my husband because we also move to abroad in 6 weeks? With such a high penalty (also thanks to the change in May 2014!) is not relaxed. I am also afraid that from the photo to my person locked we are very grateful for all the answers and suggestions. and YES, a mistake was made that all the participants and the non-participants know, we have listened to enough criticism, but we can’t change it anymore. By the way, pedestrians or cyclists didn’t stand at the traffic lights, only a car next to us was so smart and could watch the light play from behind. We hope however, that YOU can help us further, de nn You are critical, ironic but full of knowledge!

  • Wear or defects in used cars? Who pays?

    Hello municipality. In September 2011 we bought a used polo (EZ 30.4.2010) with approx. 17,000 km. The dealer had an inspection on the vehicle before the transfer, where no defect was detected. Now the polo has approx. 22,000 km down. During the last inspection (last week) we were informed that the shock absorber is defective at the rear right side and should be replaced. With culant of VW approx. 95 € cost. In case of a warranty request to the dealer, or request of a cost assumption of the 95 € we have been informed that no cost assumption takes place. Now I wonder whether after 5,000 km there is a lack of material or an additional wear of the shock absorber, especially since VW gives a culant after all. May a shock absorber break after such a short time? Shouldn’t the dealer with the complete repair be liable now? What are your suggestions? Thank you.

  • BE or B96 Driving licence

    Hello I’m thinking about a trailer license. I read that there is now also the B96. Actually I thought great, because I read on the net that the should be clearly cheaper and must But after I have called here now driving schools I had to notice that all have one thing in common. I think the B96 is quite useless. And it costs with many just 100€ less than the big one. Is that normal, it would have to be much cheaper after all. And again z around Schein itself (B96) which is always talking about the zGG of the vehicles and hanger or? So my car has indeed GG 1800KG and the trailer I would like to borrow often is a big tipper with GG 2700KG. So the B96 is not enough either. It doesn’t care if I load the hanger only to 20% or ? Outcling is only the GG and what the team CAN DO , right?

  • High Small Cars

    Hello together I’m looking for a car that meets the following criteria: Drive: Front / All-wheel fuel: More diesel Important: Size: Most possible “small car”, direction VW Golf, Renault Clio/Captur Gearbox: Automaton and the most important: high ground clearance! The car is intended for foreign countries (ex-Yugoslavia), therefore more diesel. The roads are here and there not the best as you know. In addition, there are country paths that are not asphalted. The Renault Captur seems to fit well in this category, do you know any other similar vehicles? Budget up to 10’000€

  • Temperature problem NG Motor

    Servus! I have the following problem with my 92er B4 Quattro NG. My Audi has recently become extremely hot (warning lamp starts at approx. 140km/h) when I drive away and, for example, when I am standing at the traffic lights. On the other hand, sometimes the temperature drops from 90 to approx. 50-60 degrees within about 15 seconds during the ride. Sometimes it runs quite normal as if it were nothing and remains stable at 90 degrees. Actually it can no longer be possible: Cylinder head gasket Thermostat cooler water pump the two temperature encoders that sit at the front of the flange at the head the encoder for the fan recirculation that hangs at the back of the valve lid in the air I have already aired forever, only water comes out. Heating also gets warm. The coolant indicator and the AI are also OK. E-fans are also starting. Slowly it gets really interesting, I really run out of ideas. Who has an idea? MfG
