  • Subjective loss of performance

    Hello, for a few weeks (time is not definable, since I don’t always drive around like a poacher) I have a (subjective) power loss. At least it seems to me that my 225 quattro with WKR chip currently has significantly less power than it was 4-6 weeks ago. Sure, now winter tires are on it – but can they alone cause a really noticeable power difference? This whistles and roars without end – but Audi didn’t change it during the inspection… I should have explicitly stated – they usually don’t know their own cars. Normally my TT always went through with flat and dry road and full throttle in the second gear. This happens now with the same road situation rather rarely. In addition, just looking against a BMW 325i relatively bad (though faster, but only rather light). But also my subjective impressions tell me: something is not right. Therefore, my question: what else could be the causes of such a loss of performance? Thank you for all the tips!

  • Overboost after retrofitting to standard rewind valve

    Hi guys, I’m just about to make my vehicle with the help of “negative tuning” TÜV-ready. I threw out the Greddy Blow Of valve and again installed the serial rewind valve. Besides, I also renewed the hose from N75 to the Wastegate. It looked cracked in some places. After a few kilometers of driving I had to find out that the charging pressure control generates something like an overboost. In conjunction with the currently dropped below the freezing point again. Temperatures are now going off like hell (compared to a normal 180) and, according to the LDA, it pushes up to 1.1 bar during the spontaneous full throttle, but only for a very short time as a peak value, in order to then fall to the usual values. Analogous to the rash of the display, you will also notice at first a rough torque in the back, which then, if you stay on the gas for longer, normalizes again. Incidentally, the GZ has remained in it, but will also fly until the TÜV. To make a rhyme about where the overboost came from? Didn’t that happen before the Greddy installation, only now, after the removal.

  • Honda 125 SH Fashion – as a commuter vehicle for the summer?

    Hello, Do you still have a Honda 125 SH Mode BJ 2015 with approx. 12ps and 110kmh top speed as well as windshield. Do you think you can commute to work permanently in the summer? 28km a route around 60km a day. Does that make sense, or does it work too much on the vario, straps…? Are there other users who commute such similar routes with the scooter? Mfg

  • Piaggio Zip 50 4t scooter starts badly, and mutes at full throttle

    Hello dear motor talk ́ler, my parents bought a Piaggio Zip 50 4t from the dealer in 2007, 12 years ago. The scooter always ran problem-free. 2-3 years ago I drove it from time to time, I noticed that he really jumped at it, but needed a few meters until he really had the full performance. My parents then gave the thing to a relative before last year, that he could drive to work. This used it until the end of last year then also every day. Now he doesn’t need it anymore and gave it to me as a daily for errands etc. pp.. Now the story starts. I wanted to start it yesterday the first time, he stood from the end of last year until the day before yesterday in front of the house, without tarpaulin. Battery was still great, but he just didn’t want to go on. I am to Louis and they told me that there is a special spark plug installed, which we did not have in stock, a “ZUENDKERZE NGK PMR7A” for 32.99€ (Louis Link) I just have the a I turned out, see there, there was a “ZUENDKERZE NGK CR8EB” in it which looked not super bad at all. Louis Link Well, still changed and the thing filled brimfully (were almost 7L Super). In EasyParts it also says that a CR8EB is installed. Link Easyparts Despite the fact that he did not want to go on, not even with the kicker, a two times, in +30 attempts he started short for 3 seconds but straight out again. At the felt 100 ́st attempt he jumped. Lief le I gave about 5% gas and sprayed into the suction down WD40, then it ran better and from now on you could give about 40% gas, with this gas position I then rolled home. As soon as you had given more gas it was super dull and became very slower than that it got faster. Can you tell me what would be worth replacing ? Carburettor clean or directly buy a new ? Video link, in the middle one hears quite well, than i ch went from half to full throttle that flattened the power. Video link Greetings 🙂

    Does the idle mixing screw actually only affect the mixture in idle? Or does it also affect the mixture under partial or full burst? Please only answer if you can safely answer the question.

  • Race GT50 – Weak spark – Lima defective ?

    Hello to the community, I have been a Race GT50 for some time with about 17t km on the speedometer. But I have the following problem for some time, the HS1 pears are already in the bucket after a few days (speak through) now I measured the alternator and the voltage regulator with the following values (as measured in the repair manual).Battery Stuff Charging current: Max 1.58A. (according to manual: Max 1.8A) Charging voltage: Max 14.62V. (according to manual: Max 16V)Lighting machine (triple plug) he) Min = idle number – Max approx. 5000 rpm. Voltage between green/red and black: 26-42V (according to manual: Min 20V -Max 65V) Voltage between white and black: 34-51V (according to manual: Min 20V -Max 65V)Voltage without connected controller Voltage between green/red and black: 26-42V (according to manual: Min 20V -Max 65V) Voltage between white and black: 34-50V (according to manual: Min 20V -Max 65V)Voltage with connected controller Voltage between green/red and mass: 7-10V (according to manual: Min 12V -Max 12.8V) Voltage between white and mass: 10-13V (according to the manual: Min 14V -Max 16V) Voltage between red and white and mass: 14,68V (according to the manual: Min 13V -Max 14V) plus. I noticed that the ignition spark is quite weak and the scooter does not pull well up to the final speed (25er drives approx. 27-28) otherwise everything will start immediately, too, hardness is a new one. With a colleague who owns the Explorer Spin the ignition spark is very strong to see or very much S The following things have been renewed (as is the case with the original) New cylinder complete (BGM grey cast iron, has already been retracted). New variomatic weights. New cail belt with clutch. New oil pump. Carburettor & filter are purified. New spark plug. I thank you for the help & answers. I hope that I only Lima + regulator Ta It’s just that we’re not going to have to take a look at it.

  • TGB Bellavita 125 or Vespa GTS 125

    Hello scooter driver, who can help me with my purchase decision? If I want to buy a scooter for the first time, should be a 125 (if I still drive with my old driver’s license), should be used as a pure leisure pleasure, also with pleasure for two. After a longer study of the market on the Internet two favorites are left for me: the TGB Bellavita and the “original” the Vespa GTS. I got the impression that the copy is much better in most respects than d he Vespa. Since I don’t necessarily value a label, I tend to make a pragmatic decision for the better quality. In addition, I am neither a screwdriver nor intend to become it. So I will have everything properly serviced and repaired in the workshop. Only disadvantages of Bella seem to me to be the still thin network of dealers and the loss of value when selling again. The latter can be neglected in view of the big difference in the entry price. M I’m interested in your opinion, whether I really see it or if there are other aspects. Greetings to the Rollergemeinde rollerei

  • 45 km/h scooters should also be allowed to cycle outside closed villages

    Hello scooter driver, I have been 45 km/h scooter driver for 3 months or 1000 km. Since I think driving on the federal road is quite dangerous, because you are often overtaken without a safety distance, I have started a petition that allows driving outside also for these scooters on the bike path. I would be very happy about a few supporters! THANK YOU here the link to the petition:https://www.openpetition.de/…half-of-ortschaften-auf-den-radweg

  • VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI 4 Motin Pays Insurance Warranty of dealer A?

    Hall people, it’s about my mother’s car, she bought a second-hand VW Tiguan last September from the dealer A (VW contractor), when she bought it she got an additional factory warranty/insurance of two years because the two inspections were made at dealer a. The Tiguan is year 8/2010 and currently has about 69,000KM last week she noticed that the air conditioning does not work, so she tried to make an appointment with dealer A, because the She often failed (earliest appointment in 2 weeks / multiple “I call her back” and no one has registered) she decided to make an appointment with dealer B, who started the repair immediately (also VW contractor) because she could not/wanted to do without climate during the holiday. During the repair the defective climate compressor was exchanged and costs of 130€-150€ were incurred now she registered again with dealer A. He now says the factory warranty does not apply and he w Unfortunately, the 6 months warranty in which the dealer is required to prove is already over, and so we have to prove that the damage was already before. Is there any chance that you could take the dealer A on the invoice with you because of the insurance/guarantee? There is nothing to be done out of Kullanz…. He just said on the phone that he would pay nothing, not even the price of materials. a chance on VW-Kulllanz? I have already applied for a telephone call, but with a possible white “multi-week” waiting time :/
