  • Manual regeneration of the DPF not possible

    My transit has problems with the soot filter. Although I renewed it before 20,000 km, it is now closed again. I wanted to carry out a stationary regeneration by means of Vident diagnostic device. However, the device now always shows at the engine preheating temperature is not reached. This is still displayed after 20 km of motorway ride. The last time it finally worked on the fifth time. This time I have tried it about a hundred times and it always shows that the Does anyone have a tip for me?

  • ZMS replaced by mass swing wheel

    Hello all, I had my transit year 2004, 2.4 l diesel, rear drive converted to a single-mass swing wheel, because the ZMS was over after only 90,000 km and was scratched at the gear bell. The single-mass swing wheel is said to be more robust. So the statement of the workshop. Is there anyone who had a case like this? I wonder why the ZMS has broken at all. The statement of the workshop about this: age weakness or faulty installation. the problem also come from elsewhere so that there is a risk that it will disassemble the single-mass swing wheel again? I have already searched through some forums, but found nothing suitable. I would be very happy about your help.

  • Compressed air cleaning gun tornador

    Hello together, old Terroson underbody protection on the vehicle has laboriously drained, scraped with spatula and cleaned with paper cloths. Is a laborious and lengthy work that no longer needs to be talked about. The underbody protection is to be rebuilt. For this I wanted to undergo a final cleaning before the drained area and have thought about such a cleaning device called in the title, because I assume that with it the water and cleaning mi The vehicle cannot be moved because the entire front axle has been removed. It is located on a kind of pit (ceiling recess of a workshop cellar). Therefore, no high-pressure cleaner can be used, as this would lead to flooding in the cellar workshop. My considerations therefore go in the direction of Tornator or similar to clean the underbody with small equipment and little water finally from the diesel oil and terroson residues. Experience and can give appropriate recommendation, with what and how this work could be carried out. Have no experience with these Tornado devices, which are offered for between approx. 20 to 200 €. Do these devices do something? Does not want to clean the interior of the vehicle. But would the device also like to use for cleaning the engine compartment. Which device would be usable for these purposes and also useful and effective? Best regards – Reinhard

  • Lifting platform for private: brand Twinbusch? Experiences?

    Hello friends. It’s as far as I’m about to buy a lift for my private garage. Currently I’m standing in front of a question and that is which lifting platforms manufacturer/brand it should become? Since my garage has only a ceiling height of approx. 3M 3.20M falls a 2 column lifting platform flat. I thought of a simple shear lifting platform with which I can do so far all service work ect.. yourself. Most have a lifting height of approx. 1M or also 1.20M I now have 3 stages in the narrow 1. https://onlineshop.profipaul.com/…/…07-scherenhebebuehne-3-0t.html 2. https://www.twinbusch.de/product_info.php?products_id=292 3.https://hebebuehne-kroemer.de/…mer-scherenhebehuehne-3500kg-x45.html (highest lifting height 1,20M) The gentleman of Profipaul thought that steel rolls are installed in contrast to other manufactures, often only plastic sliding guns that have to be replaced every few years. What’s better here? Yes now my question to Who has had experience with these brands? What can you recommend or is there something else that I should consider? 230V/400V where is the difference here? Have both connections in the garage. Villeicht can you describe your experiences/impressions to me. Thank you very much. LG Andreas

  • Oil spray for windows

    A friendly hello in the round I just try it, although my concern has so absolutely nothing to do with car ́s. I hope that here some corresponding experts are active or read along. I want to lubricate the mechanics of my plastic windows and look for an appropriate oil for it. Can I take an x-any oil spray or should this be a special product. Hope a window builder / assembler can tell me something and thank me in advance. Greetings rudi

  • Search lip seal catalog, manufacturer etc.

    Hello screwdriver, I’m looking for this gasket, that has to be a standard part? I need different variants, so I’d like to have a salesman who has more of it in the program and shares the data. Such seals are actually installed everywhere, among others in pistons, various coffee machines, gasket CO2 adapters, etc. But often the dimensions are not present and I need them oil-resistant. In short : I would like an overview of available dimensions, also a design catalog, since I have a The outer diameter is about 24mm (to illustrate the size ratios). The thing runs under ‘conical lip seal’. THANK YOU for a tip!

  • Engine damage to EN 500 C, limit errors!?

    Hello all, my EN 500 has now obviously suffered engine damage. I would like to know what it might be about and estimate the rep. costs before I push the thing to the friendly dealer around the corner. After a longer tour with sporty driving it jerked vigorously when fully accelerating on the highway. About as if the clutch slipped through, or the tank was empty (the latter one is used without a tank indicator and with a reservoir switch). The next traffic light after the first exit I heard a loud clacking in idle mode, but irregularly, so it doesn’t synchronize to the speed. She doesn’t smoke or smoke, she still goes, but with significantly less power. Idle and running culture in general is round, probably still running on both cylinders … Can anyone possibly interpret that? I don’t have any power. Lust, die Karre erstmal für 800€ oder so disassembly. About helpful answers I would be happy. LG Tim

  • Kawa ER5 Spring “restauration” – Need help

    Hello Motor-Talk Forum, I’m new here and have a few questions. Have my Kawa ER5 Bj 1997 for about a year and want to get it a little shot now, because it has a few beauty defects. 1.

Defects: Tachover clothing scratched and partly broken. Does someone know a shop where to handle it for a And can someone tell me how to get the speedometer. -> ie. am still an enemy of cabling at the moment. 3. Defects: Tacho lighting is slowly becoming weak, which makes me hardly see the speed in the dark. Do I have to solder the LED’s, or just plug them? Witchcraft, or feasible? 4. Defects: Clutch slowly at the wear limit. Which parts do I have to buy if I want to replace them? 5. Defects: Engine oil uncomplicated old. How do I find out if it is too old, too dirty, oä? 6. Defects: Scratches in the mirrors. Buy new, or acceptable to polish out by certain means?
