  • Installation for approx. 1500€, fun listeners

    Hello first, I’m looking for a system for my Civic Ej9. I want to spend about 1500 euros for the components (installation would then be on it). As in the topic already said, I’m probably more the fun listener, so the joy of listening to music is more important to me than the last touch of perfect playback, whereby the sound of course shouldn’t sound bad. Installation should have dynamics and the bass should also have punches. Primarily I hear eigtl. Hip Hop (to 80% / bissi Techno / bissi Rock so more “modern” stuff , extremely little classical). So should be suitable for it. What do you think of the following equipment: Headunit: Pioneer 8600 (think I times , has among others LZK) Speaker: AA 165 (I heard the play etw. thin (the TMTs) , should be very audiophile, but as said fun so I’m not sure if suitable ) End stage LS: μDimension J.R. 5.4 End stage SUB: μDimension J.R. 15.2 Bass: Hollywood EDGE 1224 Battery: Stinger SPV35 If you don’t know the things au f www.chpw.de there is information, from the owner I also got the things recommended. Look forward to the suggestions

  • Wheels trembling, brake caliper balancing?

    Servus Forumsgemeinde, I’m frustrated at the moment: Ride a Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake, EZ 12/2015 in first hand. After about 10 months my MB-house changed the brake discs and pads, because of steering wheel tremors when braking on bulwark. For 2-3 weeks I have weighed the steering wheel tremor at approx. 120km/h. Last week tires. No success. Reclaimed, re-examined: “Everything is fine: tires and rims run super without impact”. Again unsuccessful, the tremor is still there. dealer thinks it could be due to an imbalance of the brake caliper. I should complain to Mercedes. Mercedes, but also other manufacturers would have all the problems with it. Be present at the friendly time. I would also be interested in an assessment from the forum. Can someone provide a useful tip? Thank you for your efforts. NG Jürgen

  • A new introduction again

    Good day! So, after I picked up my big one on Saturday I can now officially call myself S-Class owner. First the important… the car: 560Sec Bj. 88 362000 Km Black (or rather anthracite?) metallic Which equipment was in the five-sixties now series and what was booked as an extra unfortunately I can’t say, but I don’t think there is anything missing except seat heating and travel calculator. And now to me: My name is Timo, come from Clausthal-Zellerfeld in the Harz, am 27 years old and b in mechanical engineering technicians. I am generally interested in almost every classic car (or even youngtimer). I started to buy and renovate old sweethearts a few years ago, starting with a Vespa then via an Ape and now the big jump to the German Musclecar ;-). Does the forum not want to waste right away therefore I ask right here if anyone still has a telephone installation with Nokia 2110 and about it possibly technical information? I would be generally at Informa W126, especially maintenance plans and price lists, etc. Greetings Timo

  • Megane CC roof leaks : reprocessing

    We bought our Megane CC 2.0 as a new vehicle on 01.07.2005. Since this time we fight with water entrance on the roof right. Multiple sealing changes and roof settings did not bring success. Since February d.J. we have provided the dealer photos of the water entrance, because he can not re-establish the water entrance according to his statement. Last week we had now indicated to the dealer the return processing of the purchase contract. Statement only after release of RENAULT. To this the water entry on site must be confirmed. -> Compulsory proof ? Today we agreed to put the vehicle in the rain for the next days at the dealer. Then hopefully progress in the next week. What experiences have you made about this ?

  • R-class new car discounts?

    Hello everyone. I am in the concept to acquire a new r-class from the new car stock and have already entertained myself with the friendly (dealer, not branch) about a rather lush equipped model. however I was very surprised how nimble the friendly has set the discount (8%). I find it quite lean and little sales promotion. now to the actual question: may someone mention here which discounts were negotiated? or does someone know if and which special there are actions and conditions for the r-class on the part of the daimler ag? the friendly didn’t seem to be particularly fit in this view – maybe I could then help him sell the dare. I know, sensitive subject, but it would be nice if someone might say so. thank you for reading it.

  • Megane II engine goes off

    Megane II 1.6 16V engine goes off Have the following problem: When I start, the engine goes off again after 2-5 seconds. If I start immediately, it won’t go off after 300m drive. Also the speed increase to approx. 1.200 rpm no longer works (for cold start). If it is warm, it runs. I suspect that a temperature sensor is defective. There is the motor temperature sensor and the coolant temp. Sensor. Where do these sensors sit and can you change them yourself? Which of the two k Could be rather defective? I would be happy if someone could help me.

  • strange sounds. possible bearing damage ???

    Hello municipality, I have had the following problem for a week with my Renault Scenic I 1.6 16V from 05.2000 with 107 hp. At 2,000 to 3,500 rpm comes a funny noise (rather a hum) from the engine room. Precautionarily I removed the small belt and tried it out again. But unfortunately the noise is still there. It is to be heard both in cold and warm condition and can be felt by light vibrations. Here a small video, which I recorded today: ht tps://youtu.be/PGXhgv0Rfv8 I have to say that my mechanic had to do an operation, which is why I am so helpless. Small background: in October 2018 I had an engine damage with crooked valves. I am grateful for opinions and ideas.
