  • Threshold + Wheelrail Remove rust – what primer?

    Hello community, I have to remove rust at my daily (Megane 2 Grand Tour BJ 2006 – 234tkm) at the thresholdrs as well as at the rear wheel runs. At the wheel runs at the rear there is minimal rust (very many stone strokes which have set minimal rust). The thresholdrs look optically in the front area already worse. The varnish + primer is off by enormous stone stroke I think (looks like sand blasted). There – God’s thanks only superficial rust has accumulated. ubstanz is still very good – there are of course no holes. Therefore, remove rust well, prime, paint. My question would be now. Which primer should I use best? Can you give me some tips about anti-rust primer which product is useful? Must of course be overpaintable. Greetings & thanks in advance, Michael

  • Insect damage – painting absolutely necessary?

    Tomorrow, I caught two unpleasant paint damage on black bonnet on my trip to Berlin. Classic case of stained clear varnish by insects, which I probably didn’t get away fast enough in the end. I hand-polished the corresponding spots (grind paste + Ultimate compound) – it gets a bit better, but even with a machine you won’t get it out properly. So – so to my question… I sealed the car properly with wax. – do I have a higher rust risk at the places, so that I have to go to the paintr? The car is just four years old, so that the painting makes sense – but I would like to avoid that, because something like that happens back again – you can be careful as you want and run around the car with detailers…. Be happy about your opinions…. Greetings Eric

  • iPod in V70: The built-in thread

    Hello MT-ler, here comes the picture history for the installation of the US iPod adapter in the V70 with connection in the compartment of the center console. My thanks go to TOPI76, who had the good tip with Bosto Volvo Village and to John S. of Bostonvolvo, who gave supernett all the information, got the shipping super fast on the line and always promptly responded to all the still so stupid e-mails. So: First you find in the English written instructions all the steps well described. Since all types (S60, V70, XC70 and S80, with Navi, without Navi and with US satellite radio Sirius) are in a guide. If you understand IKEA instructions, you get this in turn. If you don’t want to leave the cable in the trunk, but rather put it in the middle compartment, you have to disassemble half the AUto. Then it looks like this in between:

  • “Driver accident plus” verse.

    Hello forum colleagues! We drive one of the safest automobiles in the world and here in the forum (at least in the majority) we often occupy our wise driving. Can I therefore dispose of the offers of the alliance with your “driver accident plus” insurance unread? They write what from 30T€ death and 60T€ disability case – for the driver AND the passenger – for 12.18€/year (per car, and it is about 3 vehicles). I think that everyone (like me) anyway is accident-related. or does someone do such insurance? Insured Greetings Torsten – the XC fan (and hates such an insurance stuff. I am loosely overinsurance several times, but who can still look through – without being a full-time employee of an insurance company. Think that’s all “tapping off” anyway 😉

  • Suzuki Vitara Co,fort 4×2 Kaufberatung

    Hello Fan’s Would be happy about a few tips about the above model! Reason: I have been driving a Subaru XV 2.0 E.Boxer for 14 months, so a half hybrid. I now have 32,000km away and blatant electrical problems, the fuel consumption is simply exorbitant etc. The thing is electr./E.Management a full disaster!!! The Subaru dealer also makes Suzuki and that stands such an above-mentioned part, from 6/2021 for 21 giants, 7 Tkm mileage. Much reads great, turbo, consumption, equipment, everything as far as o.g. .k. If the price is right for my Subaru, lt. net, about 25 grand …….. I am superior. I know it’s just a four-wheeler more, so there’s no need for the mud and even in winter it’s a loss….logo! Tell me who has one! Destructional and subjective criticism ….. here with it! Greetings and thanks in advance …… Rudi

  • Switching from Opel to Subaru, open questions

    Hello dear Subaru community, because my signum, which I have been driving for 13 years slowly starts to become exhausting, needs a new kit here. I drive rather little (8 – 10,000 km a year) which means that all modern cars, which are designed for high mileage in little time (leasing vehicles) can enjoy my mistrust first. I therefore love the “classic” Subaru until 2009. (Impreza to 07, Forester to 08, legacy to 09) preferably with 2.0 gasoline and below r 100,000 km. But where to take and not steal? My feeling is that anyone who has a running Subaru doesn’t give it so fast. Do you have tips or hints for me? Best regards, Tristan PS: What do you think of the following offer? http://ww3.autoscout24.de/classified/279992346?asrc=st

  • Help! After the organ smoke from the engine compartment -> SG dead.

    Dear everyone, I would need your spontaneous assessment. After I got my well-kept Forester SG in October (here my first thoughts on it http://www.motor-talk.de/…/…nken-zum-forester-sg-t5828457.html?…) and now shortly before the brake change (drums/covers) and timing belts/WP change I wanted to do after three days, on which he stood again today a few completions with my Forester. Strong organs (so the battery still did) but otherwise only widiwiwididi widividiwidi, perched by a few tired and stinking spotters. Suddenly considerable (!) after rubber/plastic smelling smoke from the engine compartment…he came from the back area under the big black plastic box. Then of course dead. Now my question: What could be broken (or I have broken by 4 minutes of organs) and what was the “pre-weakness”? Why didn’t he jump into se first place despite the battery? He actually ran quite well – only last week I was a very restless , immature feeling made during the gas acceptance during the ride stunned . The idling and gas in idling were impeccable , but especially in the third quite between 2000 and 3000 tours there was a heavy imbalance to feel . Can this have something to do with it ? How do you appreciate this ? Thank you for your ideas and your advice and a nice evening at the moment Benno
