  • Guarantee case – How to deal with it?

    Hello dear ones, since I am quite a layman and here one or other professional is on the road, I ask here for short advice. I recently got a new car. After almost 300km the ambient lighting and thus also the dead angle assistant failed. The ambient lighting is annoying in the sense, but purely functionally not meaningful. The rides without the dead angle assistant, on the other hand, annoy me already animally … Especially since this also a So I wanted to ask how long the dealer usually has time to repair this? Thank you very much in advance!

  • ex-mini buy?

    I have just seen that my ex-clubman is for sale… even if there are some errors in the display and the price has been set too high, I am thinking of whether I should look at it… background history to the mini: I ordered the mini and after 2.5 years exchanged with motor problems for a 12od cabrio… now he has over 13o.oo km…so the question arises whether the motor is through or for me alone as a fun and second car still makes sense. Do you think…?

  • New windshield broken?

    Hello, I got a new windshield at Carglass on Monday. But this one has an inclusion or the like, see picture below the camera. Can any of you judge that?

  • Remove CDI Drosselung

    Hello Bandit municipality I got the instructions to lift the electronic CDI throttling. There is supposed to be only 2 cables removed a plug connection and swoops would be removed the jerking in the 2nd and 3rd gear. Due to this procedure the later installed early ignition is removed. However, can be undone at any time. Please do not just pinch through. The whole was done only because of the legal noise measurement which is tested in 2 and 3 gears. This measure removes all the throttles that are in this model. This results in more torque in the 2nd and 3rd gears. An urgent need for the race track and fast road riders. It also removes the annoying jerking in the middle speed range in the 2nd and 3rd gears ! Now my question to the community: If any of you have already done this and gained experience, then please post it.

  • Exchange Frameworks

    Hello everyone. I notice rust spots on the frame of my GSF650S (BJ2012), especially on the weld seams. The paint leaves off and underneath it is brown. Before I start painting now, where a doofer around…. Can you easily exchange the frames if there are any problems? What is the cost of such a swap frame? Is it worth disassembly, painting and putting them together again?

  • Gs 500 e no gas intake after reaching the top speed

    Hello municipality , the following problem. Our gs 500 gm51b bj.92 does not take any more gas after the highest wind speed has been reached. Sometimes the gas already collects at 160. Every now and then it then creates its 180 for a few meters and then it does not take gas again. Misignitions were already present. Passage until then without problems. Since we have cleaned gasifiers, coupler exchanged as well as various small parts is now the only thing that does not work like it sol The problem existed even before kupplunh carburettor etc was exchanged. Since otherwise it does not cause any problems we are totally overwhelmed. Has someone experienced similar or relevant references to the culprit?

  • Performance of a Suzuki GSX 600 F

    Hello everyone, need help from Suzuki experts, so this is the following: I bought a used GSX600F in June of this year and I am somehow disappointed with the performance. She has 85 hp and has been throttled since BJ 95, i.e. from the factory! I had it throttled when I bought it and I already drove about 700 KM… At the moment she comes to a maximum of 180 KMH (with very high consumption) according to FZS she should run 215 KMH. My question now is this normal and needs his time and how do you proceed or should the performance be there already??? Please for help….. Greetings to all bikers Madiiin

  • GS500 for corner robbers?

    Hello, I haven’t driven a motorcycle for almost 10 years now. At the age of 18 I made the motorcycle driver’s license, bought a CBR and raced what was holding it… It was a great time in which I definitely had more sense than luck. A year later I was taken the lead, CBR was back and my interests quite different again… Now at the end of 20, I want to get back on the motorcycle. I still have to move quite quickly, have But before doing this in curvy country roads within the STVO & on the Nordschleife I want to learn “real driving” rather than to shoot around bluntly… What do you think of the GS500 as my project? I still know at the time how the CBR has always overburdened me. I have come from A to B without any problems but I have never felt it as really handy… That speaks for the GS before… But what worries me is the performance. S decent curve robbers, so it is fun, or do you get to the border quite quickly due to the few PS? What is your opinion about it?

  • Service intervals & Co at 9-3

    Hello together, since my better half and I plan to “extend” our togetherness in the near future is also about short or long the purchase of a somewhat more spacious and above all 4-door car. Basically I am very satisfied with my Golf V Gti, the big problem on the matter are the two doors, the absolutely arrogant workshops with their imaginable employees AND that I just really like Saab because these cars just don’t find everywhere s ind and also visually my taste fully meet. Well, I was already on the road in the Volvo Forum, but the engines between 150 and 200 Ps didn’t really convince me. My question: What about the service intervals for the 2.0 turbo models (210Ps or 175Ps (in Austria) or the 1.8t (150PS)? Does the oil have to be changed every year or is there a kind of “longlife service” like with the VAG models? Are the current models still experiencing problems with sludgeing the oil, etc. on? At what time is an oil change required for the automatic transmissions? Are these three motors equipped with timing belts or chain, if the former, which alternating intervals are provided for? In which consumption regions do the three mentioned motors move? Does one playfully indicate the consumption values Saab or is this an absolutely impossible scenario? Does anyone know when the “new” 9-3 should see the light of the world? First of all, many thanks for the information, a curious he “GTI”Chris P.S.: the diesel engines are out of the question for me.

  • Wood in 9-3

    Hello together, I saw today a 9-3ss Aero with wooden package in the interior. Strangely, I found that the wood around the shift knob was probably poplar wood (brown) while the wooden steering wheel shimmered clearly reddish brown. Were there 2 different wood types installed or shimmers the poplar wood reddish in the sun. The reddish brown I liked quite well, however, then I would like to have a uniform wood color! How much would a wooden package (Lenkrad console around circuit, … probably Zube until recently there was the design package Classic for 150 Euro (Cabrio), which I would have ordered, but unfortunately not anymore. The steering wheel stands with about 500 Euro in the price list. Many regards Celeste
