  • Shell V-Power for Softail Deuce Injection

    Hello Harleybiker! I recently decided to refuel my Softail Deuce Injection with Shell V-Power (100 Oktan). The fuel is a lot more expensive, but should also bring more power and less fuel consumption. I have now driven a complete tank empty and actually got a good 80 kilometers further. I also subjectively the impression that my bike “switches off” better. The consumption was exactly 5,2 l / 100 km. – Has someone made similar experiences with the Supersprit ? – Can the Supersprite hurt the engine ? – Do I have to fill in the Supersprite now ? Thanks in advance for your answers

  • Airbag for passengers in the rear – not possible?

    Hello Have you ever looked for the help function, but found nothing. Why does no manufacturer offer airbags for the back seat? By this I do not mean the “Gardine” that comes down on the sides, but airbags that come from the front like on the front seats. Is that technically too complicated? Inzvischwen has already been solved a lot, why not that? I come to the idea because I have seen a crash test with triggering airbags. There the dummies got well in the back seat. e torn while the dummies landed “soft” at the front. Bye Tex

  • Question: Subwoofer connection to 4channel

    Hello! — Here’s an absolute beginner – just for information. — So I have a 2 golf with relatively original equipment. As a noise generation I use an ancient blue point CD radio with a cheap 4 channel blue point amplifier on a alpine something 2 way front system and very shimmery cheap things in the side parts next to the hat rack. Now I was thinking if I could not add something for the low frequencies additionally. — Now just for technical reasons. I have a question: — If I want to generate the bass with a single bass speaker for all 4 channels then somehow I have to bundle the signal from all 4 channels to a single channel or how to say it. Actually, I only need to take the signal from 2 channels because I only have stereo twice (once in front and once in the back). — So – how do I get the low frequencies on a single speaker from two independent signals? — An acquaintance said that I should just take mass from the left and plus from the right channel… But mass is the same everywhere that I would have only the right channel because mass is the right and left. — Could anyone follow me up here? I need 2 crossovers to get the low frequency out of the signal at all times. I would then connect the crossovers in parallel to the previous system simply on the radio. So. Then I have quasi bass for lin ks and bass for the right. Now I would have to get the two signals somehow into an amplifier so that somehow a single speaker signal comes out. Can maybe someone explain that to me? All I have asked so far were not really sure and they could not explain it properly because they either lacked the technical basics or the brain. Thanks cu

  • When Flash Activation in Red Light

    Hello……….. At what time is a photoample actually the flash trigger in red “sharply switched” ?? Ingendwo I heard that there is a guideline, after which the photo trigger can take place only after 2sec when crossing a redample. Keywords: Simple red light violation, qualified red light violation. Everyone knows the problem. One drives towards a cross. It is a flash lamp. One has first still “green”. Then the traffic light switches. Normalerw If it is a well-known photoample you don’t want to risk anything, so full braking, you have ABS. Especially tricky it becomes when you see in the rear-view mirror that the “backman” is too close. Do you really have to decide between a driving accident which you probably would not be responsible for, and a criminal case if you don’t brake? Is in this case a full braking really necessary or exist a few seconds reserve after the U.S. “Red”? Greetings……….

  • Search reliable, sporty and family-friendly combo that is not too expensive in maintenance

    Hello together, after I have delivered my beloved BMW e39 now, I am looking for a new (used) vehicle. I have the following requirements: – reliable – relatively sporty especially regarding the optics – family-friendly – the maintenance (consumption, repairs, tax, insurance) should remain within the scope – if possible an automatic transmission – whether diesel or petrol is in principle not important to me (have a driving performance of approx. 14,000 km p.a.) – Budget: max. 13,000,- € I thought again Direction Kombi and have looked more or less optically at the following vehicles: 1. Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TFSI e.g.:http://suche.mobile.de/…/216662891.html?… 2. VW Passat Variant 2.0 TDI DPF DSG Highline e.g.: http://suche.mobile.de/…/207184506.html?… Since I don’t have much knowledge of engines and technology etc., I am very dependent on an exchange of experience and advice here in the forum. Do you have recommendations for me?

  • Penalty for excessive trailer load

    Moin, I have a pure question of interest and don’t plan anything on the basis of this question. It happens more often that I transport a car with a trailer. My S210 is allowed to pull 2100kg plus support load of 130kg, i.e. 2230kg. So far I always assumed that 5% overload is uncritical, i.e. a total of 2350kg. Now I stumbled over the fine table today and read that for trailers over 2t both vehicle owners and drivers have to pay a fine(that of the stop hes is higher, I won’t lend my car to my buddy anymore). What is it like if the driver is the holder? Does he have to pay both fines? Does he get both points in the case of the cases? In some cases, a repetition of an offence within a year leads to a ban on driving. Does this then come into effect directly, because holders AND drivers have committed the illegality. P.S. don’t worry, all cars I have transported have weighed well below 1500kg so far.

  • Approved with cover card of the old disintegration and now switch

    Hello, I have sold my old vehicle and registered my X5 with the cover card of my previous insurance. Now the insurance representative was there and calculates a contribution (UK, HP, TK) for my X5 with 2200.- Euro (SF25/17). At the HUK24 e.g. the car costs only 1200.- Euro. I have not signed the contract yet. Can I now conclude the contract with another insurance company although I have allowed with the cover card of my old insurance? eht, how do you do it then. Greetings herriup

  • Accident escape or just fraud?!

    Imagine you get mail from the lawyer. His client’s vehicle has been damaged and you just ran away! Now the lawyer demands damages for his client including the incurred attorney fees of 95 euros. If not paid up to then the complaint is filed for accident escape pp.. And now ? Many pay to avoid inconvenience, although they are not aware of having damaged another vehicle. Unfortunately currently sad Real A non-existent law firm has already sent thousands of such requests for payment across Germany in May and many have already fallen for this probably new fraud.

  • You’re saying something different?

    Hello, I would like to buy a newer car and need it all. Currently I am at Teilkasko 85% insured about my father. Now I was hoping that I can inherit the percentages (30%) from my mother-in-law. Now it’s funny… so… she drives an old Megané and I think only partkasko or only vllt. Liability. Then she can transfer to me her full percentages. But now she had found out that she has transferred the percentages to her husband (why? k.a.). In my opinion, the only thing I can do is to secure my contributions, and that it would be better to insure my car than a second car. That’s put on like this…but I have read now that I can only inherit as many percent as I have been able to reduce myself since my driver’s license. If I had to do so personally, then I have to drive over my relatives for 10-15 years until I would have reached 3 years. 0% to take over??? Especially since I mean that a few colleagues could take over 30%, but I’m not so sure… What does it look like with the transfer now? What makes sense and where is the catch? Thank you for your help… MfG Soul-Eater

Pride like Bolle,will to the TÜV and now I lack the data sheet and the exhaust gas certificate!

Nu my first question: Does any of you have a car soo and can tell me where it was at the TÜV? Or where maybe I could still get such papers? Next I wanted to clamp my tail lights and now I don’t have a spark anymore…does any of you know what might have happened? Does any of the cables hang together with the ignition? I can’t really imagine it but I already have horses before the pharmacy ….. See…. That was the short version I yard you can help me…… LG
