  • Honda Sh 125/150; left brake lever hangs

    Hello,Community, My china scooter znen 125 has suffered an economic total damage on the weekend. Today I have a Honda Sh 150 i abs, built in 2015. As far as so good. What’s surprising is that the left brake lever no longer goes back completely and you have to give it manually a small thrust, otherwise the brake light continues to glow. The switch can be heard click, but only with hard train. Furthermore, you have to pull it extremely hard, otherwise you can m What could be the cause here? Is there a retraction spring possibly? And could the brake light switch on the lever possibly be defective? The scooter has tkm 33. Thank you

  • Prelude BB2 – Amazing car!

    Some time ago, I had a 2.3 prelude with 4WS, and the car really surprised me for 2 reasons: Consumption: The car is new, and you want to enjoy the performance first, so I drive on suitable occasions on the BAB full throttle, and in the city I am also speedy. For comparison: My CRX used about 10L, the 200SX 14L. Now the hammer! The average consumption of the prelude (measured over 2300 KM) was at sensational 9.9 L 100KM! Do your prelude consume so little fuel? Acceleration: Yes Lord, I am guilty, I have done it. I drove around on down roads and am amazed with which carts the prelude can compete at the traffic light! I hang the SLK (200K) from my buddy and the almost 200 hp of a 325 E36 are also not a serious problem. Never would have thought that the prelude plays in this league! I was already very often surprised by my used cars, but to the first time I am positively surprised!! Never thought that the prelude could reach the CRX with the fun factor the water!

  • Extreme hail damage, what’s next ?

    Tach, this morning in Krefeld there was a hailstorm with golf ball-sized hail grains, accordingly my and all the other cars here from the front to the back look full with bumps, whether roof,kotflügel, engine hood, doors, the holm that passes over the doors !!, A column,c column, under the rear windows the side part … really bump everywhere. My side mirror has also blown up. With the neighbor cars in part even the disks were broken, so you can imagine wa Now I wanted to ask what it looks like now, have later still a date at ford (is nn 2005er Focus) to let the cost estimate, the car is full casco so this god is thanks to no topic and papers from the insurance are already on the way.. but what will be replaced? The damage anyway but also the loss of value? increase the percentages? Treasures times the damage easily exceeds the 500€ limit, you can collect the money and the damage at the bump How far can we get rid of spezi bumps in the a-soul or in the top of the door? I’m pretty depressed, because the car is really trashed by the car… yesterday he was still spotless

  • Refusal of insurance Your assessment

    2 questions: New car 2-3 months old, upper middle class, 4,500km. Car drains during the passage in an underpass, stands 1m high in the water. Engine has water impact. Car is insured. Insurance wants to pay drying, but not the engine damage. Reason: Production error. New car (in case of damage entry) 1 day old, 220km, luxury class with genuine leather, fully comprehensive, car was examined by the insurance because of the high purchase price and valuable accessories and special graded. Car drains due to failure of the pumping system in the underground garage, stands 3m UNDER water, mix of sea water and rainwater and that over 3 days because nobody notices it (owners and other tenants in this parking hall in holidays, the caretaker noticed). Insurance only wants to pay “repair” but no new car. The car stands completely disassembled at the dealer, it forms rust and the seats can no longer be saved according to dealer, the whole car moderates and stinks. The manufacturer does not want to give a guarantee on rusting after drying because it is not sure that all water is out and no further damage has been caused. Can the insurance companies do that? If so, why?

  • 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
