Hello, I’m new here in the forum. I also have a question or a problem: I bought a 1 golf cabrio last week and a few days later I noticed that the matures that the cart has on it (205/55R15), according to the registration certificate part I are not registered (there are only 175/70R13 registered). I have now read in the internet that there are still so-called coc papers on which there are possibly other sizes. however, I did not notice these when buying and I doubt that the dealer still has them. so: I’m driving around with unregistered matures. in addition, the fact that the matures in a driver’s and co-driver’s curve or in a bottom wave at the back strip the wheelbox… (I wonder how to put such flaps on it then…) now is the question what I’m doing. I got matures from my mother with the size 170/65R14. first question: do they fit on my rims at all? and then make sense of it. to have them entered? or can you have these coc-papers or similar copied somewhere (tüv o.ä.) on which the other mature sizes stand? many thanks already for your answer. mz1202

Buying shares in exclusive vehicles as an investment – what do you think of it?
Hello everybody, I’m new here and I’ve been working on the subject of investing in exclusive vehicles a little bit lately. I’ve come up with an idea that hasn’t let me go since then. That’s why I wanted to ask you about your opinion here. It’s about buying shares in exclusive vehicles to benefit from the increase in value. So, a proportionate investment, in case you lack the necessary small change to buy vehicles in a corresponding price range. If you do a little research, you can quickly find platforms that already offer something like this. I wonder, however, if something is not lost, if you invest out of passion in something that you can’t “live” physically in the end. I would find it super interesting to hear the opinion of someone who has a lot of business with cars and a better overview of the car market. Could you imagine such an investment? Do you see pros or cons? Vie I’m curious what you’re saying! LG, Johannes

Do you still measure the idle battery?
Servus, the following situation: Golf 4 (74kw), battery is very weak, car does not start, 2 days later there was no more power. I got a starter, the charging voltage was 14V. Then I drove 60min and turned off the car, 4 days later the battery was completely empty again. This is a few days ago, the battery has now 7.3V, my charger does not recognize the battery and stays in standby mode. Question: If I connect the empty battery back in the car, I can use the Ru measure current to find out if some electricity sucks? Or is it not meaningful due to the low charge and I have to carry it out with a full battery? In addition, since I probably have to buy a new battery anyway, how much cold test current is recommended for Germany or in winter Austria (so at night it gets cold) ?

Is an AGM battery equal to AGM?
Good afternoon, are AGM batteries sold as starter batteries also usable as second batteries? As second batteries one should use “Deep Cycle” batteries, this corresponds to an AGM/GEL battery. But are all AGM batteries “Deep Cycle”? From my point of view, an AGM battery remains an AGM battery, no matter what it is sold, or am I wrong? Thank you Gruss

Meaning / Relevance of the wear limit for brake drums
Hello! How is the wear limit for brake drums to be interpreted? Does it mean “As long as this limit has not yet been reached when installing new pads, you can use the brake drums again.” Or “If new brake pads are installed, this limit must not be exceeded even during the life of the new pads, so that you should replace if you are already close to the limit.” Example: Internal diameter new: 203 mm Max. rotation specified by the manufacturer measure: 204,5 mm When replacing the brake pads, you measure 204,3 mm with the used drums, so you almost reach the limit. Can you then use the drums again a set of drum brake pads or should you replace them? What can happen if you use the drums and the wear limit has been exceeded? I’m curious about your answers.

Brake noise after wheels Change and hot rims after strong braking
Hello together Our car 2 1/2 years 22000 km has, after heavy braking, uneven grinding noises. We had it on Friday in the workshop to change tires, and today we noticed it, after we were out of the city. Of course we braked a few times fully (from 70 km/h to 10 km/h) in the to locate the noise. After a few 100 meters the noises were gone. After the last strong braking I drove about 1 km to the garage and de When I went out, I noticed that the rims were getting quite hot. I could not touch the wheel nuts in particular. However, it didn’t stunk or anything like that. Question 1: Can grinding have something to do with changing the tyre? Question 2: can I claim that? The car still has a warranty and was changed to the tyre in the brand workshop where we bought it. Question 3. Do the wheel hubs / bearings contract such temperatures? The Sc Hey, you’ve got a good temperature going on, haven’t you?

Miserable driving behaviour despite multiple axle measurements
Hello, I have a problem on the car which slowly gets to my mind. I was now with so many measurements and it just doesn’t get better. That was the third workshop now, the first did not accept the complaint at all, but sent money back and away, the second tried it twice. And now the third. Problem: The car always wants to drive to the left, has to steer constantly. Steering wheel stands slightly diagonally (straight exit, it is then slightly steered left) and at The car gets nervous, just doesn’t go straight. No, the LR is not wrong, the grain mark on the spindle agrees with the marking on the steering wheel skeleton (there is one side of the plant). In the appendix the measurement protocol of the measurement, as well as a quick test of the ADAC. The chassis has now been checked several times, it is always all possible. Also understandable, because both lateral handlebars, carrying joints, track rod heads (inner joints are play-free) are renewed . Dom bearings, shock absorbers as well. Oh yes, tires as well. The wheel hubs have no hit (measuring clock), the wheel bearing game at the HA is OK. Only the rear axle rubbers are slightly soft, but according to every workshop mechanic i.e. – they are good, but no longer defrosting. But will they change nevertheless – only… is the rear axle “crumb”? Because if yes… then I just get another and miss the new bearing. Or is it due to the axle cones? The Vento has a V at the rear. ==Notes====External links==

Oil changes & small things… Cost? Honda CBR600F PC35
Hi, I’d be interested in what an oil change at a (Honda) dealer can cost? Somehow, with my new Honda (when I look into the oil glass) the oil is over-full. Of course, if it is on the main stand. So the glass is full up to the top. Then I’d still be interested in what I have to dismantle everything to get to the lid of the cooling water and where I can control the appropriate level of filling? What can a setting of the machine on my person at (Honda) What should a brake change of the front brake cost? Which oil is especially recommended for the Honda? Greeting gaby886

Decision-making aid Part 2 🙂
I’m very unsure …. there are just too many beautiful cars in the meantime 🙂 So, I actually don’t need a car for work and I go shopping privately by bus into the city. I use the car for fun … to the lake, Sunday morning when it’s nice quiet, so mostly trips from 20 – 100 km. The car should cost approx. 35,000 to 60,000 euros gross and remain manageable in the maintenance costs. I find a comparable car in the price class as the Audi S 5 gives It doesn’t …. Finally the list of accessories, where everywhere ” series ” stands …. Final price was then about 58,000 gross minus 15% discount = Approx.50,000 gross A car that can keep up with the Porsche Carrera 4 S for half the price ….. Before the shouts come 🙂 , he never reaches the Porsche in the image …. Can never be considered : Audi TT 2.0 Coupe ( 3.2 I don’t like ) Audi S 5 BMW Z 4 3.0 Coupe 265 PS Porsche Boxster S Porsche Cayman S Prices Gross approx.35,000 to 60,000 EURO where m Audi and BMW give about 16% and Porsche only 7.50%, which influences the net prices very much. Okay …. you since Porsche fans …. but maybe someone has tried out with all types behind him. I fight with reason …. Audi ( but still fun !! ) and pure lust ( possibly more expensive lust … ) Porsche The S 5 could combine both …. ?
