  • no culture of rust

    I am a Mazda6 driver, first registration in 2007 and I have the painful problem with rust bubbles in the fender area. The car is in the fifth year, the last two years I did not have any service done. On the request at Mazda Österrreich, whether one could not find such a young car a cullet solution for rust restoration, I experienced a proper removal. I am completely disappointed about this marketing strategy and will certainly say goodbye to this brand. Is it possible to do so?

  • Brakes B4Q Avant 2.6

    hoi, nu isser finally registered… But what can that be? The brakes go perfectly up to about 50 km/h, but if I go so full on the irons at 80-100, the ABS does not notice anything and it also blocks nothing. The delay is, well, meager but still tolerable to some extent… On the pedal is nothing soft, in the opposite, as if simply the end is on the pedal, like an iron block… On snow or loose ground or mud the ABS… Hmpf, and the windscreen wiper just fell off and the I’ve been driving over it, I’ve only got my cadet on it… I’ll have new tires put on later, so I’ll look at the brakes…

  • Just plugged the Lambda probe….

    ….and the result is “remarkable” The slight jerking (which I always had with a warm engine) has now disappeared, the engine takes on the gas much better in the partial load range and pulls up much cleaner than with Lamda control. Ergo seems to be my Lambda very sluggish by now. Should some of you try it out, and see how your boxes behave with the Lambda plugged off. Mine drives much better again. Soon a new Lambda will add to my diet. Not the world. Greetings

  • Purchase advice Audi Cabrio wanted…

    Hello, actually come from the golf forum, but since my mam would like to exchange her Escort Cabrio into an Audi 80 convertible I would like to have your opinion. The car is from an Audi dealer with new Insp., Tüv/Au, 4 new tires and 1 year warranty. 2.6 liter 150 hp dark grey sports seats with fabric built in 1994 66,000 km 2. h electric. deck 15″ aluminium (newly matured) seat heating wood decor radio with changer sport leather steering wheel More I know just net… Very well maintained. 8500,- incl. all. I found it expensive, but at DAT I found a dealer-EK of about 6800,-. Then there are the extras. Then the price is almost right! What do you think, is that ok? What my mother would still be interested in is what the 2.6 is used up. Do you get there with 10 liters? Thanks already for the answers….

  • Alternative to my MX5 searched

    Hello, after almost 5 years of driving an MX5 NBFL, this now starts despite Mike Sander’s preservation rust and I have neither time, nor desire to cut out thresholds, make sheets, weld in, paint, etc.. So the thing should be removed. The problem is, I would like an alternative in the same price segment (~5-7k) and find hardly anything comparable. What I liked was just the sporty driving feeling of the MX5 and the simple technology, which also very much A few Keyfacts: – Yearly km: Approx. 3000km/year – Price: max. 650€ – Petrol – RWD/AWD preferred – Sporty driving feeling – Better a light vehicle than a lot of horsepower and heavy – Suitable for winter Do you have ideas about what could fit into this grid? The MR2 W2 came to my mind, but the middle engine is not exactly maintenance friendly.

  • Discounter tool for changing wheels – what is it?

    Moin! Again and again you come across offers for cheap tools for changing wheels. Specifically, I’m talking about an electric impact screwdriver from LIDL as well as a compressor for wall mounting from the same house. I’m basically already equipped to change wheels, but think about making work with the impact screwdriver a little easier for me. Yes, I know that you don’t fire the screws. I have a torque wrench for that – no, not from LIDL. I would use the compressor for tyre pressure control and sometimes to blow out one or the other, but here the focus would be on tyre pressure control. That the linked offers can not keep up with professional tools is beyond question. I would like to know what concrete experiences with comparable tools look like. Do the parts do their job in the company. or are they total failures that are simply not worth the money?

  • Air mass meters

    Hello, at my 9-3 SC TID (150 hp) the night before yesterday the engine control light started. After that the car had no more power. After several kilometers on the country road (I somehow had to come home) the power was suddenly back at a traffic light and I could drive normally (lamp remained on). Yesterday morning again lamp on and no power. To the friendly. He then said that the air mass meter was defective. In addition the fan control Not all right, but they don’t find the cause. At all tomorrow (that is today) business holidays, he can’t order the part, because nobody can reach it at the earliest next year. If someone has had problems with the air mass meter here, I can’t find any entries in Fred. Hope someone can help. Otherwise, a good slide to everyone (but please not on the road ;-)).
