  • “Jack of the old blow” – how to tame?

    I drive an old BMW 528i, model E28. – I have noticed several times that the car likes to oversteer and then also very suddenly tends to oversteer. Last weekend, for example, I had produced a slight drift on a motorway driveway (curve, wet, 2nd gear, a good 3’000 rpm, acceleration) in the rain unintentionally. So far so good, I think, with the driving characteristics of the old rear slings, which are usually very good-natured and pleasant, I will have to live and k The question is simple, how do I react correctly, if the rear wants to overtake the rest of the car again?

  • P0400 and no end in sight

    Hello dear screwdriver, I searched for a long time in the forum but unfortunately did not find what could help me further. It is about the t 25 2,2 l with 177 diesel hp. On the topic: There was no fire on any of the three control lights. The car has never passed into the emergency run until then. Nevertheless, the car did not pull around as desired.. I cleaned the AGR and determined that the valve did not close properly. But I still installed it again. At the test drive from the beginning the three Lamps (vsc, trc and engine) lit. The car ran the same way as before. At some point the lights went out again, but came back again. This game repeated itself and then the engine went into emergency run at irregular intervals. By restarting the engine you could outsmart the system for a short time again and again. Error code P0400 would be read out? AGR defective. So new AGR installed (of workshop) and, yes, everything in the old. Nothing changed. Lamps A second AGR would be installed, but it did not come to a new result. What to do now? It worked everything except for the loss of power at the bottom before. Once expand and install again and everything is broken, it can not be, or. Can it be that there may be a cable break. Hope you can give me a little motivation. Greeting Stephan

  • Avensis T22 – Flasher switch defective, steering pole switch

    Hello. I drive a Toyota Avensis T22, (key 5013, 390) 1998 ccm, 94KW, year 10/1998. The turn signal switch is broken. Left blinking goes. Right blinking is a problem. If I only raise the switch, it flashes great. But if I turn up completely (for right blinking) nothing or the relay rattles quickly back and forth, but it doesn’t blink. If I press the switch again a little down, it flashes. For a few days it only works with raising the switch (Auto So it has to be on the switch. I found out via Google that you can only completely change this part (linkbar switch or similar) (including switch for the windscreen wiper). In this context I also read something about Facelift or pre-facelift. What does that mean? I have front fog lights, which are also actuated via this switch arm. Which switch would be the right one for me? At Toyota this part should be very expensive. needed to be seen in the “bay”, but I’m not sure if I get the right one there and if it’s ok. Vehicle recycling companies also offer parts, some also with shipping. I know, these are many questions, but I’m really desperate. Every roundabout is a horror for me, and we have many of them here. I’m grateful for every help. I’ve always been able to leave on getting help here. So give your best. THANK YOU. Karsten supplement. On photos on the Internet and Toyota forum it is explained that you can remove the switch from the holder. Is that true? I would have to take off the steering wheel cover and look. Is that easy?

  • High beam assistant experience

    Moin,Moin, I wanted to ask you how satisfied you have been with the main-beam assistant since and how your experience with other road users is? I have the feeling as if it turns off the remote rather too late and thus the oncoming traffic is dazzled.Even though I drive relatively rarely with an Assi. however, then I have the problem that I always turn on vehicles because of this. Is there anything there because of the sensitivity of the t at the camera eye at Seat? I know that the driving beam Assi. is controlled by the camera in the disc, maybe a possibility to adjust something there, similar to the emergency brake assistant. Thank you.

  • SEAT Leon Cupra ST 290 DSG Exhaust gas system and push-off

    Hello dear community, I am now proud owner of a SEAT Leon ST Cupra 290 and think about doing a little bit of sound. I want to make one of them a bit louder and more toxic, but the system should be visually inconspicuous, high-quality and also no problem for the TÜV. I want to deactivate the push-off, I am aware that you do not get this registered and some companies offer the push-off only in certain Do you have any tips, suggestions or experiences?

  • AUX entrance at Pioneer Radio?

    Hello, plan the purchase of a TFT screen and DVD player for my BMW soon, I need an AUX input on my radio! At the Pioneer DEH 7400Mp Radio I have an entry in the function menu, where I can switch the AUX input free, this also works, I can then connect 2 chinch cable at the back. I tested this once and connected the discman, but then only sound comes in the rear speakers, then I connected a dvd player, but there comes I can also control the loudness only via the DVD player, more precisely, I can’t control any functions via the radio, but only via the DVD player! Do you need an adapter for this??? Did you also hear that there are special adapters for the antenna input? Does anyone know about this? MFG HaXan

  • Mondeo 2,2L TDCI no top speed

    Hi, first hello. I’m new here and I’m curious what you say about it: I got a new Mondeo 2,2 TDCI station wagon in September 05. At first I was completely excited, because the car had a brutal drive. Was already impressed by my old TDI, but this was outstanding. Recently, however, it seems to me that there is not so much going on, since I am constantly driving around with 2 children and dog, but I also don’t call off permanent performance. So far the case has been 3 times (in the 5th gear at approx. 1500 rpm – everything is off and within half a second again), and then I don’t even get close to Vmax. The car is indicated with 218, with a lot of running I can only 205 on the speedometer. With Ford you don’t know anything about it and a mistake was not made either. The 2.2 TDCI of another workshop customer goes to Tacho after all 230. Maybe one of them knows what this could be?

  • Fill up the coolant!

    Hello professionals. In the morning my G500 MJ 2016 always shows up the message “Refill coolant, the engine is warm the message is gone. I assume that very little is missing, so that the rise due to heat expansion already enough to wet the sensor again. Now my question: I would have just poured some water back in the past. Now you should do it according to the operating instructions and there is only use of coolant released by MB. I have little time at the moment because of so something at the friendly to beg an appointment, there is something at the tank, ATU, Amazon or similar or just a little Aqua dest.? OpenAirFan

  • G63 ./. 500 consumption

    Good evening love “G”emeinde, I am currently thinking about changing to a new petrol engine. Hand on your heart with the G63 drivers, what do you use up in the middle? Yes, yes, I know, with the car absolutely the wrong question. However, I would be interested in it anyway. According to data sheets the G63 probably consumes a little less than the 500s. Although I tend for one, two reasons to the 500s (e.g. less violent appearance, acoustically as well as optically), the belly clearly signals something and eres. I drive mainly in the village and on city highways. Some times it goes over the highway every year and then always 1,000 km at a time. In the year I drive with my G only about 15,000 km, because I have two more cars. Some times I drove a G55, which had a not really comfortable travel suspension. How to rate here the G63er so? That the costs are high with the boxes is aware as a G-driver. My present diesel has an absolute full equipment un d was already on the level of a well-equipped 500er at that time anyway. So I realize what is coming. But I never had a car with which I have been so fond of driving every day for years, like with the G. So comes a new G in the house again, or I stay with my diesel cube. So, after the swarm in space, again to the point. What do you consume with your 63er or with the 500er ́n? Thank you for an info. Good evening.

  • G63… where to buy ?

    Hello all, I will replace my 350 BT with a G63 in the foreseeable future. However, since my current MB subsidiary disappoints me without exception, and definitely does not leave any possibility here, I will probably not order a car there to die. A very nice G500 driver from WL- recommended me HH, where I actually tend (beautiful city of the world and early even lived there). I don’t care now, where I order the roar cube in Germany, ic h would like only a little care, some service, possibly a reminder of a TÜV appointment and here and there a bit of accommodation, if on a > 100K€ car something is broken. I would even drive to Cologne, to Munich, to Husum, to Tinum, from me also to Hintertupfing. Only BS does not get a single € more from me. Where did you have good and possibly also less good experiences. Thank you for your comments.
