  • First vehicle at engine stalls in warranty??? Renault Master

    Hello, I drive a renault master year 04/04 and stayed in France on the weekend with a motor damage. Then I got the flight from Renault to home because it can not even be repaired. Today I called Renault and asked how it goes on. They only told me that he is standing with a motor damage at a Frazösische dealer and that at the moment have no time to install a new engine. Right to a car rental I have according to Renault ni That means I don’t know when they’ll start reparing him at all, don’t know when he’s finished, don’t get a rental car even though I need him professionally, because it’s a Courier vehicle. What can I do? can’t sit at home and wait until they have time and pleasure to finish him. I have a guarantee, he’s from 04/04. Please help me because I can’t afford a failure. MfG Fabian

  • Timing belt torn by oil pump

    Hi, I had a stressful experience yesterday with my Vespa LX 50 with air-cooled Hi-Per 2. I drive around with my buddy in Munich. Suddenly the scooter no longer picks up gas until it finally stops and goes out. Opened directly to the parking lot of ATU and Variokasten. What do I see there? A small timing belt is torn apart in the Variokasten. The timing belt from the oil pump! The scooter, after it went out, could be started completely normal again. I But I didn’t go any further, for fear of breaking something. Now we stand there, about 7km away from home..but then the good idea of the buddy, that we just get a small bottle of 2T oil and dump it in the tank, ratio about 1:30. Bissal the scooter wobbled and we drove back home. On the way I didn’t notice anything. The scooter drove as usual. But what is very surprising is that the scooter was in the inspection before 2000km (I still had a guarantee). The belt between the crankshaft and the oil pump runs directly behind the drum (is that so?) with the weights. I wonder why it was not replaced, especially since this is already important and belongs to the maintenance. Well, the belt has to be replaced. Can I actually do it myself? Because the installation is not a problem, but you have to tighten the belt? Well, what worries me is whether my cylinder got what from the action. So I can rule out clamps or feeders, but what about Riefen? How is it noticeable that the cylinder has Riefen? Do you feel this as a power loss? What else I noticed is that my fan wheel somehow melted from the Vario nut. How can such a thing come about… did something like grind on the V-deck, because the dirt in the Vario lid was also gone at the place. P.S.: the scooter has now over 11000km down. Thanks already in advance for r your help smile I hope you can help me Dennis

  • Newbie wants to know whether new chinese (jinlun 699.-€), or used brand scooter?

    hello all together, I have become aware of the offer of practitioners. they offer a scooter there for 699.-€. as far as I have noticed, this was already offered in early 2005 and summer 2005 by practitioners. it is, as far as I know, a jinlun 4 clock motor with electric start and top-case, also called starquad. I have so many questions, because scooters and co. for me are absolute newland. I have already thought about it several times, to me a the scooter (at current petrol prices :-)). the scooter doesn’t even have to be new, but the used costs also around 400.-€. now my questions: 1. has someone already made so many experience + kilometers with the jinlun to make statements about its quality? 2. what about the “replacement infrastructure” for wear parts? are the prices appropriate for spare parts? 3. how many kilometers or years, will I be able to use this scooter without problems, without the need for larger reperatures? in which interval, larger reperatures occur (cost and duration)? 4. but prefer a used one from a well-known brand, or can one take quiet certain the chinese? I don’t have very high requirements for the scooter. I guess I won’t drive more than 2-4 tkm a year. I don’t expect anyone to answer all the fragans right away, but I’m very grateful for every little hint+tip. many greetings

  • Original Yamaha crankshaft

    Hello, wanted to know how much revolutions an original crankshaft can last for a long time. Think, the 10,000 will be the limit, or ? Would I be interested, since I have no desire to install a new one.

  • Problem with Italjet

    Sers, my Italjet FR 50 runs perfectly when it is cold. He then drives about 55 according to the speedometer. After about 3-4km drive, when the engine is warm, he has no more power, he accelerates much slower and reaches with difficulty his 40km/h. What can this be about? Thank you already. mfg bmm

  • Renault Rapid Temperature Problem

    Hello all, I’m totally new here and very curious who will answer that way. My problem is our Renault Rapid Bj. 97, petrol. At first the car ran quite well but now – it goes off with the repairs violently. Without notice the temaratur rose and the Rapid began to smoke. Diagnosis – head gasket and crackers were there. Was repaired – car did not run. Diagnosis – water pump – was repaired and car drives about 5 KM and then the engine gets really hot and sp The cooler is cold, cooling system has enough water. I have now got the tip that the thermostat is defective. Can this be and where can I find this part? What can have been broken and where can you get detailed information about the Rapid in the Internet?

  • renault abzocke

    dear forum, would like to hear your opinion about following incidents at Renault Barthel, Renault Weißhausstrasse and Renault Germany in brull. 3 years ago we bought an annual car Renault Kangoo from our saved all and completed a used car warranty. When now the used car warranty had expired the problems began to resolve because diie welding seam of the motor suspension front left of the safety belt much from inexplicable based on the next he side from the airbag threatened to show itself by means of inspection that no longer went out in the abandoned condition. The cable pull of the sliding door tore and had to be exchanged.The rear seat could not be changed any more because the cable pulley was also torn here. Leihfahrzeug was not awarded refueled but fully billed and last but not least a cost estimate in the amount of 266,-€ for new tyres and the installation of the safety belt on the bill with 450€ was shown. I hope that someone here will answer and give us a tip.

  • Trafic as a drawhorse?

    Trafic Transporter as a train horse? Hello, the eight years that I already know the Opel Zafira and drive with much joy can always only bring about a decision: Again and again Zafira. But unfortunately he has no AHK. And that brings me into big problems: Actually, because of the age it is not worthwhile to retrofit these still. Also for health and for financial reasons I follow my already earlier hobby: camping. With tent no more goes, against speak hal As a result, there is now a residential pea. The Zaffi could already function as a towing vehicle purely in terms of performance. But is it worth the rather expensive purchase for the AHK at a year 2000 (approx. 300 EUS)? Or should I look for alternatives? How recommended would it be as a towing horse of the Renault Trafic Combi? (equal to Opel) How recommended would it be as a towing horse of the Opel Vivaro? (equal to Renault) How well does a VW transporter TDI run as a towing horse for a caravan? rhalt, consumption, repairs) proves to be a “trafic” TDI? Which versions/versions would be recommended? Please look forward to all information and opinions. *welcome* saxvoyager

  • “Mercedesprofi” and the consequences on my w126

    After convincing arguments, I had my 500se set up the hydropunch at a Berlin mercedes specialist. after convincing arguments, I had the chain + grinders made for 2000,- follow (at approx. 200tkm) since the following are: + climate is no longer possible + belt too tight + lines bent that are jetz leaking + tool in the engine room forgotten. + helical screw torn down + minor errors like protective caps forgot the belt could be set myself, however probably the troubleshooting of the climate becomes quite complex, and what really nerds me is the clacking of the defective curved seal. and the best thing is that the torn screw on the side of the driver is in the last corner and I can’t get there to turn them out. what can you do against this joint purely legally and how can I get the screw out? mfg ben
