Hello! I want to do something really good for my Y 1.2 8V and buy him the best oil you can buy for money. 🙂 Spontaneously I thought of Castrol TWS (10W60), which I also tipped into the BMW 3.0i. But now the question is: Is that so good for the 1.2 8V at all…? Sure, a BMW series six, which you chase over the highway, is happy about a good fully synthetic 10W60. But a small car engine…? Should I maybe take a 0W40, because this one is in the cold. Is the 60s viscosity in a warm condition with such a small engine rather unnecessary? I have to say that I drive a lot of highways with the Lancia (over 70%) and kick it there for hours. So the engine gets loaded properly… However, I have one of the last 840s, and they have an extremely long translated fifth gear. That means, even if I drive Vmax, he hardly turns over 4,500 tours. So: What would you ‘turn’? The price is in this Anyway, because I don’t want to save on engine oil. Thank you and thank you very much.

Contribution assessments at the Toyota Forum
For a few weeks now there have already been the contribution evaluations at Motor-Talk in the form of the red and green bars under the post. This should actually be marked especially readable or objectionable posts, which is done in both directions also, so that there is no misunderstanding. However, I have gained the impression that the instrument is occasionally also abused, in order to ‘stuck off the claim’, to support ‘heroes’ or to ‘disturbing peace’ out. For example, this absolutely permissible and unprovoking contribution from pitton from the iQ thread has already received three red reviews, of which I could neutralize at least two. (Naturely, not everyone has the same view, and so I can’t expect to always meet the majority opinion. However, I already take advantage of a certain basic feeling, and this contribution is only exemplary.) Quotation: Yes, we know the pictures. he subjectively comments (by the way, you don’t need 50,000 km * T in order to make a judgment on what has been seen, no, you can see that immediately) and put in connection with the price. Nothing more. That one or another wants something different for the price, we leave it to everyone. I find that pathetic if this really should go in this direction. Clicking ‘red’ is also easier than writing something …

TOYOTAS WRITTEN – UNEMPLOYMENT!
According to AURIS approvals from 2007 there is the new theme of appeal for 2008 Comment of the “Automobilwoche” from 27.01.2008:TOYOTAS WARING – UNCOMING! In the past the customers connected with Toyota singing monkeys: “Nothing is impossible.” It is long ago. Meanwhile the advertising of the importer produces only yawning boredom. But it is the most expensive of the industry: nobody spends more on ads, TV spots and posters in terms of turnover. The relationship between sales and marketing expenditure is not correct. t: Advertising expenditures are rising, sales figures are falling. Last year, the Japanese pumped 156 million euros into classic advertising in this country. Only market leader VW spent more. This shows that Toyota pushes with power – but moderate success – into the German market. Money does not matter for the richest and most profitable volume manufacturer in the world. But the advertising message simply doesn’t come up with the local customers. Toyota didn’t even end up among the first ten. … But class is still ahead of the crowd: Many customers still remember TV spots and BMW ads, although Bavaria spends much less money on advertising than Toyota. … There are questions about original ideas that one remembers. … If Toyota doesn’t think of anything better, the brand has to become a monkey again. Greetings, Kühli

Toyota in 2007 strongest importer in Germany?
Now the KBA has the statistics on the registration numbers of the manufacturers in 2007.http://www.kba.de/…/n_12_07.pdf Toyota (without Lexus) appeared to be ahead of Renault (without Dacia) in the full year 2007 in D, which would be an absolute novelty in Germany. Unfortunately, the KBA does not list Renault/Dacia and Toyota/Lexus in the above statistics, but if the figures of the Dacia and Lexus models from the statistics by segments and model series (up to and including November) to the whole These statistics are used to calculate the Dacia/Lexus numbers:http://www.kba.de/…/segments_11_07.pdf This is my calculation: Toyota/Lexus together: 132.535 (upper statistics) The four Lexus models reached up to and including 11/07 4,066 registrations (lower statistics), up to the whole year this would be about 4,500, so Toyota alone would have about 128 .000. With Renault/Dacia together 140,281 The Logan had up to 11/07 15.899 registrations, for the whole year this would be about 17.650, therefore Renault would have about 122,600. That would then be a difference of perhaps five thousand approvals – who would have thought that? Is everything still a little uncertain, but I do not think that the final statistics will be different in the basic trend. Another calculation approach: the ams 19.12.2007 gives the following figures (01-11/2007) for D: Toyota (without Lexus): 116.865 Renault (without Dacia): 114.134 The open question is December, but: The KBA calls for December at Toyota/Lexus 11,522 units and for Renault/Dacia 10.546. On average, LExus had 377 registrations per month. There remains a small advantage for Toyota over Renault. Of course, one can argue whether Renault and Dacia are cumulative or separate, but I would say that these are two brands.

@Community Toyota/Lexus
Hello, meanwhile the Toyota/Lexus Forum has grown to over 60,000 posts….actually very gratifying. nevertheless a faded taste is with…the technical questions of some users go down and remain unanswered because we often get bogged down in strategy threads and brand competitions or generate an enormous traffic but: -sensible questions or problems remain then often unanswered like… e.g. here to Verso again Verso Radio in the Yaris Blinker ZV in the Avensis AHK Avensis Crolla Verso Radio Celica Domlager Hilux Allrad I have just taken in… because Motortalk is now also a point of contact for technical help seekers…it would be nice if such posts do not have 0 answers… or someone of the experiences to the said cars just has a tip or feedback. I see otherwise the danger that we are in ”Dependisplays” and ”Number 1 in the world” and ”Toyota vs XY” or ”Toyota all cheese” and ”BMW much better” and,and,and…lose. I let the Off Topic a little leash…so that a community finds itself or has a little fun,but the basics of a forum should not get under the wheels…. Exchange with problems and tips and tricks around your own mobile are also at Toyota/ Lexus core of a forum….and to let new users with 0 answers stand in the rain I feel as an extremely unfortunate welcome,clear if you don’t have anything to do with it. can say it will be hard….still sometimes small tips are already helpful…. I wanted to get rid of it right now…. mfg Andy

Tires extra consumption enormous !
Hello to each other Have found something strange, far more than the 5% claims of the specialist dealers Already after that it mounts much of the first kilometers on the BC of the Cit Xsara Picasso 1.6i ! Previously tires Michel EnergySaver 6years old, still about 20% profile 6.5litres Super. With factory new winter tires, 8 liters Super, even at almost 0.7bar more inside. As a little warmer even 8.5litres with the soft winter flaps became. Now again the 20% profile summer Michel EnergySaver on it, again by 6 liters Super. In the past, modern tires seem to have been optimized for increased consumption, reduced service life and more soil adhesion. Those who drive wisely and understand physical principles do not necessarily need these energy-depleting rubber compounds. The first ABS vehicles also had the statistically most accidents, which is why the insurance companies cut the discount of 10%, and increased contributions. That is almost the vie I think if the EnergySaver is new, it consumes more again. But that the difference in consumption can be so big, I would not have thought now. Can it be that it is the lower consumption on special tires, by far greater than the only < 5% which are claimed ? And they always calculate the extra costs ? I am strongly considering whether I make the same on it again. Greeting Hubert71

To all saxo drivers: My experience on the highway
Hello, this is my first post at the Citroen Forum. But I will probably not forget my saxo experience so quickly, because I was impressed. I had to do research with M. yesterday to Stendal, to youth. We decided to drive the highway, A2. M. drives a saxo, 1st generation, 1.0, 45hp. Only modding is a good sport exhaust. So we drive on the train. I was on the road in Puma. So the train was free “hacked gas” nothing in the way. The saxo drives ahead. He was occupied with 3 people and loaded well. At 150 I am looking for the last time at the tacho. 150. I am amazed, and think of my Ka. A little later, on the radio “Angel” by Shaggy my passenger said to me: “Flo, the M. has only 45hp”. I: “Yes, why”? “Look at the tacho” I watch and thought I dream!!!! The saxo, whose distance to me certainly did not change, rolled my tacho with just under 180 KLAMOTTEN in front of me. the very exact speedometer from the Navi. It shows max. 171. I don’t know how to do it with a $5 saxo! At my Ka is at Tacho 160 end. Hereby I express my awe towards Citroen! Respect!!! @M. : If you read this, then be sure, on the next screwdriver meeting there is an extra beer for it!!! I completely impress Flo wishes a nice evening!

Purchase advice first family carriage
My C2 will be 4 years old next month or 90000 km old. Next car will be “something” bigger. Requirements: – Space for strollers – approx. 2x a month is a ride of approx. 500 km – max. 12 thousand euros prefer 11 – no Berlingo First (I do a lot, but it’s just too ugly) Have us looked at the C3 Picasso. Great car! Only unfortunately too new… there are no used ones yet and there are no discount promotions like with the by the way Citroens. Maybe a demonstration car , but whether we get it pushed down to 11-12.000 .. questionable (my dealer got in a new demonstration car… Advanced in green with AudioKlima Package > NP 16.700 Euro) Do I have to look around at other manufacturers?

Presentation here and short questions
Hi, first of all I wanted to introduce myself here as a Citroen-Freshling. I just picked up my new C3P (110 HDI, black, panorama and black package). Looks good and drives well. My very first Frenchman Vllt. I will post here and there (I already have) – hopefully not with big problems I find it funny that according to the seller there are no on-board folders yet Is probably a lack according to BGB – I will radio Citroen times because… 2 questions: 1. Is my first new car… Do I still have to drive it in carefully or don’t give it any more? If yes, how? The seller said: No, you don’t have to… 2. On the right above the radio is a slot. Is it intended for credit cards or the like? The dealer had already closed before I could ask that 3. I thought to glue the panoramic roof with a protective foil – similar to tram windows. Do you think that would be useful? Panorama roofs are also available in other mod ellen – vllt. has someone there already had experiences… Thank you for every tip I will give a driving report after some KM if there is interest. Greetings from Berlin Bernd

Comprehensive bodywork repair in PL/CZ
Hello together, after we are always our 1994 Ford Nugget with a pressed eye through the TÜV, we had after moving to another federal state this luck no more. The defect list is long. Basically the whole substructure should be made new. Wheel boxes/coating wings front on both sides, cross beams front and rear, threshold on both sides and also the frame is massively rust damaged. The KV is at almost 9000 Euro, that is of course a rod money, but somehow one hangs yes Since we live directly on the Polish-Czech border, there is a repair abroad. However, there is his problem: Repairs to carriers and frames must be carried out by a certified specialist according to German standards, otherwise this can still be carried out so well, TÜV there is no one. Does anyone know here a correspondingly “TÜV-approved” workshop in Poland? And what if I just finished the frame part to be replaced abroad? would that be a problem for the TÜV, because the spare part does not come from a specialist? How are your experiences? Greetings Buxor
