  • Question about the battery

    Hello guys, today I wanted to bring my mop back to life, take me the battery and … see photo… Shit ! Minus pole ! the batt. I charged about 3 weeks ago, the acid level was ok, the voltage lay after the charging process over 13,5 V. Where comes this crusting (voltage is about 8 V,) the batt. I have always stored dry and warm. Besides, the 1st cell behind the minus pole is dry. Can someone tell me how this is coming from ? That a new batt. must come from, is clear, abe R why why? Vlt. has someone’s answer ready.

  • Mondeo MK1 Start/Cold Run Problems

    Hello together, have a problem with our Mondeo, it is a 95er 2,0l 100KW, the car has now 260000km down and drives for it still amazingly good, the following problem occurs now more and more often, the car does not want to start, I had before about 50000km, there was the diode that is in the fuse box in the engine compartment, broken! Now it was already broken again, changed again, I noticed that the diode gets quite hot?! Now the car jumps but despite new diode not always on, if not funny you have to start a few times, sounds like the magnetic switch hangs, could that be connected with the diode that this then always burns through? My wife, who drives the car more often, told me that if the starter doesn’t want to, then you use the right elect. Window lifter, then it would work, chance ???? If the car then runs and the engine is cold, the speed varies between 900 and 1400 rpm, that goes like a minute, if you Then there is gas, it’s gone, I have the LMM clamped off once, no change! The hydros also clatter at the start, but lie down after about 2-3 sec. Can someone tell me what the patient is missing??

  • Mondeo 2007 – Does it look like this ?

    Hello together. This is what the Mondeo 2007 is supposed to look like. I would say : one case for the next James Bond movie ! But if it really comes like this (or strongly similar), then you can only congratulate Ford. I’m curious about the tournament… Greetings WeKoe And now the pictures :

  • Mondeo MKII purchase advice, reviews???

    Hi guys, I’m playing with the idea of getting me a Mondeo MK II BJ 2000 with 130 hp gasoline. Focus etc. I’ve driven a lot, at the moment I still have an Escort so I have a few questions. 1. does the Mondeo MKII also have a good (sporty?) suspension or which equipment has the most recommended one? Of Ford you are used to very good suspensions. 2. Has someone converted the 2 liters to car gas, is that possible without any problems? 3. What are the weak points of the MKII? 4. Are the driving performance of 2 liters i.o.? Or should I rather take a MKIII, I like it better, but it is also more expensive. I think that was the time for this. I thank you for your help already in advance.

  • G350BT probably tore control chain at 150,000km

    Good evening, I have the following problem. Last weekend at my G350BT at about 80km/h on the motorway the engine suddenly went out without notice, so no lighting up engine control light or noises. After a long break from the non-existent service of the ADAC he was towed into the workshop today. First guess is that the control chain is torn. Who had to experience something like this? How do I go on? Can I go here on Kulanz from Merce hope, because, for example, a loose control chain at the last service (in November before 5,000km at approx.145,000km) would have had to be recognized? What would you do? What is the worst case of the engine is over and only an exchange engine could breathe new life into the G? Repulse? If so, what can you get for a G350BT, EZ 05/11 with a defective engine? I’m curious about the answers.

  • Slk compressor retrofitting?

    hi, I have a slk200 (without compressor) and as you know, it doesn’t have too much power, so I wanted to help the whole thing a little bit. because with such a classic suction motor most tuning measures hardly bring anything I don’t want to chiptuning, fan-curved, exhaust system, … grab, because that gets in total nevertheless quite expensive and hardly brings anything. but with the slk200 there is also the slk200K (with compressor as standard). blem can be to upgrade my slk with compressor!? someone has already done that, or can you tell me what to consider then? so I don’t imagine that that that’s particularly difficult, because the basic motor is certainly the same, so you just have to screw the compressor, exchange a few parts against those of the compressor model, and that’s it, right? I’m grateful for every tip! mfg

  • New SLK and DC_engineers

    Hi, yesterday I saw the new SLK (still slightly camouflaged). It was on the parking lot with us yesterday (at the drinks market by the way). Unfortunately it was already dark and it was in black. I find the look not bad, but it is a matter of opinion. In any case I saw the half hour later drive open, at approx. 0°C. Maybe the driver tested the new neck heating. I definitely found it hard to drive open at the cold outside temperatures. Greeting Matze

  • Daimler is unportable!

    Hi friends, don’t you think it’s pathetic that the overgrown Daimler shots like CLK-SL-55 (which I really like very much visually) and Co. especially the CL65 on the Nordschleife against the M3 CSL don’t see any country with its very modest 360 hp? My opinion is that Mercedes builds super cars, but not a single real sports car! The fact that all pseudo sports cars from Mercedes have an automatic says everything! I mean that really not bad, I just think it’s funny that the whole AMG group believes that they are on the road with the mega sports car! They have no question of power, but that ars then too! P.S. I am looking forward to the first comparison of the SLR against Carrera GT and Ferrari Enzo! The last place in terms of sportiness is already certain to the SLR!

  • CLK Cabrio – W208 or W209?

    Hello, after the disappointment with the new E-Class (just going back to DC because only broken) I think about a CLK convertible – just what? I have offers for annual cars with a few km – I don’t want new cars anymore, I’m not a test driver for DC – once the model W208 as CLK 200 and 320 V6 and on the other hand a 200 W209. Who knows both models and can tell me what one should pay attention to or are there known defects? I don’t want to have to change again after a short time… Thanks e in advance

  • Yamaha R6 bjh99 goes out at about 60 degrees

    Hi together. Hope to get tips here. My r6 goes out at about 60 degrees and can only start again after it is cooled down.. Fuel is inside and is pumped. Engine ventilation hose I had off. Comes minimal smoke out. Air filter cleaned. Carburettor cleaned. Spark comes to all 4 candle plugs. Think some electronic part is too warm ???? It runs super at the beginning. So from 58 degrees it turns slightly higher and then less … and then nothing more …. I am grateful for tips. Also upload a video and link this here. Greeting from Dortmund https://youtu.be/9uJORHbi09o
