  • Windshield jump, how’s it going with the partial cascade?

    Hello everybody, it’s about my Corsa C. I put it in my workshop (rebuilt barn) two weeks ago overnight, it was still completely and the afternoon the next day I see a jump in the windshield, from the bottom right to the middle (clear is getting bigger and bigger now). So now what? Have partial cassock with 150.- excess. There are slices in there or? I only ask because it is absolutely inexplicable to me where the jump comes from, you can see nothing (so you can see nothing). any impact or something like that) except for the jump, and it can’t have fallen on it either, I’ve searched everything about the car. And if I can’t give a reason for the jump now, does the insurance pay?

  • Battery change not yet necessary ?

    Hello guys, I need your expert advice. I had my Dacia Sandero 1.2 16V (built in 2010) changed to ATU ÖL and brake fluid. They then called me and told me my battery only had a power of 79% and I should have them changed right away, they would recommend the change. Since I have no idea of cars at all, I simply agreed to it. The car started but still normal and I had not had any I had a 640A and 60Ah battery in it before. The test showed the following: voltage 12 96V starting power 79% 640A EN <0°C charging condition 100% Now they didn't have the same battery size as promised, but one with 54AH 530A. My father thinks the battery would have been enough for the Dacia. What do you think? And should I not require the installation of an equally large battery at ATU, how ve Is the power of the battery not worse? Thank you for your advice and greetings Lauri

  • Code Dacia

    So now I’m going to explore new territory. . Have now acquired the DDT4all software and a hopefully working OBD2 dongle to also work on our Sandero 2. Since I otherwise code with a VCDS or OP Com , this will hopefully also become something . Here nothing has been written about it yet , other Dacia drivers have been using this successfully for a long time . I will report.

  • Kaufberatung Kleinwagen,Limo up to 3000€

    Hello, I am currently looking for a car for my girlfriend. She will soon start her training and then drive back and forth to school about 100km and 90% highway, 10% in the city. The mileage per year should be 20000km. I would need an assessment of the following vehicles. I would prefer a Ford Fiesta, simply because I have read that they are robust. Whether diesel or petrol I am not sure. With the mileage per year is w probably a diesel is already useful. However, the repair costs are probably higher if there are problems with the engine or turbo? I have no high demands on the car, main thing it lasts a while and is affordable in maintenance. 1. Ford Fiesta 70Tkm 2008 230€ Is the question whether the timing belt was made. Every 10 years or after 150Tkm is the change interval, if I have looked correctly. TÜV must be made. 2.Ford Fiesta 115Tkm 2008 230€ Here is 3.Opel Corsa 2009 127Tkm 290€ 4.Hyundai Getz 1.1 142Tkm 2006 2000€ 5.Opel Corsa D Cdti 172Tkm 2007 230€ Thanks in advance.

  • Compact sportsman up to max. 45k €

    Good day, how do I start best? Actually, I have already pre-ordered a Tesla Model 3, but now that I’ve been working on it for a while and the car is getting more and more expensive, especially since I wouldn’t want the basic equipment, I went looking for alternative ones. First of all, I didn’t want to save the Tesla for ecological reasons or fuel, but because I like the idea! Basically, I like to drive a little more sporty, but I’ve never been on the road before. I’m not sure if I would do that either. I don’t want to make any / hardly any compromises with my car, I have always had company cars in the last years and this is supposed to be my first own car, so I should at least like it 100% in my budget! In principle I already have more or less 5 cars that I would like to like, but maybe they are all much too high for what I want to do with it!? I also speak here about the price of the new car n price, maybe I’m a bit sloppy, but I assume who buys such a car drives with it and since I have little idea of cars, I don’t want to put my luck to the test with a used one, moreover I would like to have a relatively current model! List without rating: Honda Civic Type R 2017 (test drive in 1 week) Pro: Price / performance (I like the look), new model, adaptive shock absorber Contra: No 4WD Subaru WRX STI 2017 (test drive i n Machining) Pro: 4WD, relatively new, (I like the look), Boxer Motor Contra: Possible too hard for everyday life?, Price Ford Focus RS 2017 (testing in progress) Pro: 4WD, adaptive shock absorber Contra: Price Peugeot 308 GTi (testing in progress) Pro: Price / Performance, new model, alleged fuel consumption Contra: No 4WD Ford Mustang GT Pro: V8 Contra: Price I didn’t want to write to all cars all the info I came up with, I think the people who know cars w I’m just talking about an assessment, are the useful options to have fun on the country road and the highway, or do you buy something like that rather than a second car or track tool? I know that there is also the Seat Cupra and GTI and R from the golf, but I like the Peugeot better optically, it doesn’t have to be a type R by the look now, but the cars from the VW Group are just boring (Sorry) Tr Of course, I’m accessible to alternative people! I don’t want to call for a cock comparison either, the car is better because, reports from everyday life, how is it to drive on holiday, like when you’re on the road with it every day etc. In the end, it might be an Octavia RS Thank you very much for reading and your comments M.H

  • With the Ignis four wheel in winter to Central Asia (travel report)

    I don’t know to what extent travel reports are desired here in the forum (links to) .. Last winter I drove with my “new” Suzuki Ignis (with Allgrip and in the Austrian top equipment Flash with SHVS) in a little over 3 weeks from Austria to Kyrgyzstan (for skiing) and back, that were about 16,000 km, the Ignis has proven itself very well and survived the journey without any damage. Only the consumption of the ski carrier and the full load was about 1 liter higher (approx. . 6.5 instead of 5.5 l / 100 km).In the meantime, my Ignis (since Jan. 2017) has 52,000 km on it – would be even more if I hadn’t driven my old Qubo with bed fitting (or would currently drive) in the summer last year I have now cut together a small, Ignis-centered best-of video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVM3YdivS-g Since we were 8 times tyres (with winter bikes and spike bikes), I had previously upgraded the rear seats. In addition, I had to buy ski carriers and had the cooler water frost protection replaced as a precaution (since one has to reckon with -40° in Kazakhstan, the min. to -55° should go, but we didn’t have). Unfortunately, you can’t directly include pictures of externals here in this forum, so here’s the link to my best-of:http://blog.inmontanis.info/?p=4639&lang=en And here’s the detailed reports:h ttp://blog.inmontanis.info/?cat=165&lang=en

  • Suzuki Splash 1.2 Consulting

    Hello together, I need your opinion and competence. I’ve been looking for my first car for a long time. Currently I’m still Azubi, 23 years old. After looking for a long time I discovered the Suzuki Splash 1.2 (86PS) for me. Actually, the car seems to be optimal. My question is now, can you recommend the car or would it fit me or do you have other recommendations? The following points are important to me: – Saving consumption (6 liters total) – Few maintenances (control chain be better?) – Under 100,000 km – PS is not so important to me, 65+ would be good – The car should accompany me for several years – Cheap in maintenance I would use the car mainly for the way to work and leisure time. The way to work would be a total of 60 km on the working day. Therefore, I have calculated an abrupt mileage of approx. 15,000 km. It would be nice if you could drive to where from time to time, city trips or times to the North Sea. My bowdet is by the way with ma ximal ca. 3000-40000€ Would be nice if someone would tell me if the splash would fit. Or how are the experiences like that? I chose the following two which correspond roughly to that:https://www.do-autos.de/…/…gen_fuel_dark grey_2008_65994km.htmlhttps://www.do-autos.de/…/…van-bus_benzene_silver_2010_38900km.html Thank you in advance!

  • 7 seats: Kodiaq or Grand Picasso

    Hello together, We are looking for a 7 seater and 2 vehicles are our favorites: the much praised Citroen Grand Picasso or the seemingly good new Skoda Kodiaq. The price difference is 10’000 CHF or EUR, so the question arises whether you think the Kodiaq would be the extra 10,000.- worth. Use of the vehicle: – during the week: my wife with the children: safety is important – and a parking aid… – always only short distances are driven, about 20-70 km at a time, totally 6-8’000km per year – trips to the holidays of 3-6 hours occur: in rare cases the vehicle should be comfortable even over longer distances – Yes, we plan to go into the snow, but whether we need a 4×4 – I doubt that. My parents mean absolutely, I mean there is anyway winter service wherever we go with children… – few times a year all 7 places are needed – Reliability is also important if you are of general susceptibility to both M arken (Skoda, Citroen) know please report Just a few opinions would interest me, and for that I thank you already for the introduction. I am aware that there is no practical experience with the Kodiaq, so it is also allowed – yes desired – just to say the opinion fresh from the liver. Greetings!

  • Need urgent car recommendation

    Hello together, my husband and I decided yesterday to buy a car. It was a long discussion. We have a deal: he respects my wishes and I make myself smart on the Internet. So: at the moment we drive a Citroen AX BJ 94 with 45 HP, which we want to keep!! AND a metalic blue Mitsubishi Colt BJ 93 (PS fan around 60 or 70) run with 230,000 km. The latter car we want to get rid of, because it has problems with the clutch. (what do you keg you probably daf He still has TÜV until the middle of next year. The Citroen drives my man every day about 30 km. The new car should therefore be for ME. I drive four days a week 80 km, almost exclusively motorway. On the other days I drive a lot of country road and city (per day about 25 km). In addition, the car should be for LANGE routes (like to the coast, or to England or to the warm sea). Still important: we have a 6 year old son, who in about a year a Gess We want to spend max 2000-3000 Eur! We are very uncomplicated people and for us a car is a pure NUTSCHGENSTAND. It should be favorable in maintenance (also spare parts). My husband does repairs, like brakes, oil changes and others himself. So far we have been very well clear with the mitsubishi (also on vacation). But a little more safety DARF it is. On holiday in England we had a newer Ford Fiesta. It can be something bigger. It can also be a K ombi. o.ä. A dream for me would be automatic, but don’t have to! So, that was a lot of input now…but where better than here could I ask that otherwise?!? I hope for help so that I can then present it to my husband.

  • Conversion like from the 80s on my GT 80

    So, now have all the parts together for my conversion : steel flex brake line, box swing ( you have to change appropriately ), spring legs, machined cylinder head and 24 Mikuni carburettor. The only thing I no longer grow at my age is the Polybauer full cover with the M handlebar. The then registration of another translation ( 14/37 ) = 87 km/h had the GT already.
