  • VF750C Magna RC43 after long service life……

    Hello together. I need your help please. I have a VF750C magna RC 43 which has been standing for health reasons for several years now. Has run original only 12tkm. The machine starts, but not all four cylinders run correctly. The front two don’t seem to ignite properly, also not really hot. I made spark plugs new. I did not drive, of course, did the machine only in the stand on. Sure there is some glued or so… there is a way with a cleaner, without disassembly the whole machine, to solve that again…? throttle valve cleaner or gasoline additive…? Or maybe also helps a careful warm-up…? I am already grateful for every tip. Thank you and greeting…!

  • CBR 954RR SC50 jerks and stutters in the low speed range

    Hello, yesterday after a long online search I finally got a SC50. The motorcycle was visually very well there with its 35k mileage in contrast to other online ads. During the test drive before the purchase the following problem occurred. I had to pick the motorcycle out of the housing settlement first to come to the country where I could heat a bit. In the city traffic it is noticeable that the Honda in the low speed range (1000-300/min) moderately strongly ‘jumps’. I think that she doesn’t go smoothly forward but rather jerks like a car that is about to choke off. From 4000/min the motorcycle catches itself and pretends that never had been anything. I didn’t think much about it at first because I still wanted to test how the motorcycle behaves when there are more turns on it. Arriving on the country road I then gave more stuff and was thrilled. The motorcycle did exactly what it was supposed to do. No swallowing, no stot tern. Ordinary clean acceleration as if never had been anything. Again on the way back to the seller I had the same problem. With every start, slowly rolling around without a pulled clutch it stutters and jerks. Whether it was the first or second gear. The machine makes life difficult in the lower speed range. Back to the seller I then set him to talk. He had assured me that this stuttering and jerking of which I am speaking is completely normal with the machine. Grades on 4-cylinders and motorcycles with such a high performance and power. They are probably not designed to drive around with such low speeds and revolutions. He meant that it can be that it is a bit more doller than it should, but that is probably due to the age and the mileage of the bike. Since I have no idea of motorcycles and I am technically not well placed I accepted it so. I still tried to persuade him to feel guilty about it. I took the bike with me and drove home 80km. The best ride of my life! I love this bike. Only the problem with the lower speed range makes me manage. Can an expert help me there? Something like that already experienced or seen? Thank you!

  • Scirocco away – good alternative must be here!

    Hi together, I only have a VW Scirocco 1.4 TSI with 122 hp – built in 2009 – 44,000 km now for a shorter time. I would like to sell it now and buy something “larger” (refers to the engine). I think about 180 hp +, because I just want a little more “bumms” – by the way I find the new “downsizing” totally beside it, but well father state + environment is thanks. What can you recommend me? For my Scirocco I would like to have about 11.500 €, what hope and I think a Realistic price is – after all, Climatronic, seat heating, SRA, 18 inch Interllagos – which have after all 1.000€+ value. If you have good offers in the vicinity of Mainz, I would be very grateful, my attention is here mainly on: Golf GTI – like 6er, Golf 7er, BMW 330i Coupé, Scirocco 2.0 TSI Can also correct me, if my set price, for my Scirocco should be too high in your eyes. The car is by the way well-kept at VW and has TÜV until 04/20 16

  • Error memory reader ?

    Hello, can you read/delete the fault memory of the Fiat 500 with the OBD plugs/readers available on the market by default? Specifically from year of construction 2016 with a yellow OBD plug input under the steering wheel? Have read, for example, that the ANCEL AD310 OBD2 diagnostic device, which is sufficient for the general error memory read/delete fully comen. Is there anything to consider? Do you have recommendations up to 50€? Thank you and greetings

  • Humidity in the garage

    A lot has already been written about this topic, but still a small report of my experience. During the winter my CLS is hardly driven, but at 85% humidity in the garage (double-parker) this is not the ideal ‘place of storage.` Despite 30cm Maico fans, otherwise the humidity would probably increase. So I took care of a dehumidifier. First of all I looked for dehumidifier performance and of course after the price. But at some point I wondered how Because the parts, which work according to the condensation principle, should dehumidify 5 degrees cold garage air. This probably only works badly or not at all. At the company Trotec I then found: a dehumidifier, which works according to the adsorption principle and is explicitly intended for cold rooms. Costs at the moment € 169,00 including shipping costs, directly from the manufacturer. (TTR 55 E) I installed this yesterday and after about 18 hours of operation the humidity dropped from 85 % to moment 62% with further downward trend. The garage has a volume of at least 60 m3. PS in the interior / trunk I use a 1kg-Sack Silica gel each.

  • Search City car up to 500€

    Hello, I am looking for a car, which should be used mainly in urban traffic. My price limit is 500€. Whether automatic or not, I don’t care. It’s important that the car is as cheap as possible in maintenance and consumption. Besides, the car should not be too old. I don’t need a large trunk and a 2-seater is enough for me completely. I don’t care about the interior equipment. Great would be air conditioning. I had thought about buying a smart, but it got me What can you recommend to me as a used car? What do I have to pay attention to with the respective model, how much can he have run and so on? Thanks already

  • Urgent purchase advice Please 🙂

    Hello, after our last and first car purchase went into my pants, I urgently need advice I looked at an Opel Tigra Twintop, BJ 2006 with almost 51.000 km from the dealer. Here’s my report: An advertisement of the Opel car dealership but sale of a dealer who rented himself there (I think ok). On the phone and on the Internet there should be 4 previous owners (Max. pain limit, is a convertible and can also only be a day registration or something like that). The driver’s seat cannot be pumped up and an audio box at the driver’s seat does not sound good (will be done). It would be a guarantee, TÜV and customer service re-entered. Now he writes in the purchase contract 5 previous owners and tells me there was a day registration (according to the previous owner) with me, unfortunately I could only see the last three. What do you think about it? The last previous owner had him almost 1.5 years. Tomorrow my mum would have signed the purchase contract (all information according to the previous owner) and mailed and we are now really unsure. Offer at mobile.de in Gersthofen almost 5200 €. I would be happy about answers and tips Many greetings

  • Straight steering wheel

    Moin moin, I thought, I share my experience with a lean steering wheel from delivery here also again. I had picked up my Cupra 290 on 22.04. in WOB. On the return trip (largely highway) I noticed that if I drive exactly straight, the steering wheel stands so at 11:58. After a few more rides/days it was always noticeable to me, so sometimes to the dealer and on the internet asked. I do not seem to be the only one. The dealer had probably already had already I was then remeasured yesterday and so. Since I am not at home myself, I only got a scan of the survey by e-mail. I could not drive myself yet. (Protocol is attached) How can this be done that the values are not correct from the factory? I still noticed that the follow-up was apparently not perfectly adjusted or maybe not perfectly adjusted. I have to ask that again, whereby the follow-up was not completely adjusted. run is actually not soo critical. At least related to wheel wear, steering wheel position,…

  • Purchase advice: Seat Leon Kombi from 2016?

    Hello all, my current car (Ford Focus, 2002 BJ, 202000 km) is unfortunately becoming more and more uneconomic, so I think about buying a new car. Since Leon like me is a rather nice little station wagon, I thought about it. I drive about 30000 km a year, friends and hobby due to a lot of highway. What I want is a gasoline that I can drive for a long time. Tempomat is important to me and it should also be able to drive faster (around the 220 would be great). My budget is c a. 18.000 euros. Now I have looked at mobile and saw that unfortunately there are not many Leons up to the budget. I also heard of a steering chain problem that often led to the problem with relatively young engines, however, this should extend to the whole VW family. Does anyone know from which model, respectively BJ, this is no longer available? Is the car useful for the purpose, or did I now let myself be misled by the Internet and friends? D Anke! VIele Greesse
