  • Transmission expansion at the Agila Z12XE

    Hello, after I had problems with the circuit from my little green Agila – at that time luckily only the rope pull was pulled out, the FOH even directed by kulanz – now my gearbox has finally said goodbye at the WE. When I wanted to switch from the first into the second gear there was only a violent blow and then in every attempt to couple in any gear only violent polking, banging and rumbling. Today came the horror report from the W but I don’t have this money, nor would I invest it if I had it, because 5,000€ is about twice the time value of the car. Long speech, short meaning: After a short search on the internet and with vehicle-restrictors, I found out that one gets used gears for the Agila already for about 500€. Now I had thought about simply getting the gears too My brother-in-law, who used to repair trucks, would even help me. He thinks, however, that this only makes sense if you don’t have to completely expand the engine for the transmission expansion, because he wouldn’t be confident about it. Has one of you already removed the gearbox on the Agila and knows what effort this is involved? Maybe even someone can give me a short instruction on this? And which gearbox does everyone fit in with the Z12XE engine? Only the F12CR? f different websites have already read that the F13CR also fits the Z12XE engine and not only the Z12XEP… Well, thank you for your help already in advance, until then. mfg Nick-O

  • Opel Karl – Wheels Grinding on the carrier of the VA – 185/55 R15 6 x 15 ET50

    Hi, I bought accessory wheels. It is the RC design RC30 in 6 x 15 ET50. Unfortunately, the tyres grind on the carrier, both when I turn completely to the left or right. But to the left it is much stronger. On the lifting platform you can also see that the tyre is on the carrier. And also here much more on the left side. Are there people driving the 185/55 R15 tyres? And how is the situation with the complete steering impact here. e 1. Inspection. I think you’ll want the steering to be stopped.

  • new york times teste s550 – “driver unwanted” as conclusion

    in an article quite negatively set against the technology madness, the new york times will be tested the new s-class. the writer enjoys a error message, points to the very bad performance of the old s-class at j.d.powers and comments in conclusion rather bitterly: “driver unwanted”. you have probably already discussed the electronic flood of the new s-class too complacent, but I did not want to withhold the test above. in the world there appeared a too well fitting comment. here too, the disengagement of the driver and the overflowing flood of never used miraculous functions is criticized. liebe gruss oli

  • buy or not ?

  • W220 Questions about Model Care and Colors – PLEASE ASSISTANCE

    Hello guys, My father is currently driving a W220 S 500 long from 02/2000 with 68,000 kilometers. The vehicle has caused so many problems in the last 15,000 kilometers that my father now wants a facelift, in the hope that it will get better. What has everything changed with the facelift and is it much better than the one before Facelift? Are the errors mostly fixed? Did that hear that Facelift got a better suspension? Now a few questions about the colors. new that is in view, is emerald black metallic with leather anthracite. My father is currently driving obsidan black metallic with black leather. What looks more beautiful from obsidan black or emerald black? What’s the difference? Do you have the feeling that there is almost only obsidan black and hardly emerald black where is that? Does emerald black have a blue stitch? Does some pictures come across as such. Is the difference between black and anthracite leather very large and striking? The seller mei nd it looks really black for him. Do you think the combination is good between emerald black and anthracite leather? The car stands 300 kilometers away from us and therefore we do not want to experience evil surprises. Unfortunately I find hardly any pictures of these colors. Do you have any? Thank you for your help…

  • Power problem. No passing beam and no tail light.

    Hello, have a problem with our MB207d van. We are just on a holiday trip in the south of Europe, quite far to the next workshop. Had made on the solar system and the batteries, and stupidly still on the light. Had the plus cable off the battery and wanted to plug it up again, while flashes the light up and then it was dark. Ok. fuse— changed. But can’t. The light bulbs are ok. I just discovered that there is a cable from a relay next to it. Hanging, who of you might be able to help me, have no plan what it is for a relay and where the cable gets on it. Occupancy? On the relay is VW311906061C when I get Google’s info —> without light switching mode Suppose it’s on the cable and or the relay is through. Can it be bridges if necessary? What else could I check? Thanks Ben

  • Sprintshift gives alarm when gear is inserted.

    Hi Sprinterfreunde, I have recently had the problem that my big driver (a Sprinter-based mobile home) emits a beep tone/alarm signal from the cockpit as soon as I have put the gear in (on A) and then get off the brake. As soon as I step on the gas, it stops again. In the meantime, in which no pedal is actuated, he screams quasi. If I ignore it and do not press a pedal, the gearbox switches again to “N”. Otherwise I have no impairment and it switches What the hell is that?!? No one has ever posted such a problem anywhere and I am in despair! Do I really have to use it for nothing at MB?? It is a pre-programmed warning signal – that must be clearly identifiable! Thank you for your advice!

  • Racing emblems for the road

    Hi, I’m just planning for the future, because I’m planning to make a real racing emblem for the road, the question now is, which car do I take as the basis for this project. I have a few criteria that are important to me, but in the framework of which I couldn’t find anything, maybe you know cars that meet my criteria, would please me. 1. Should be affordable, i.e. in used and drivingable form for no more than 7000 euro 2. I don’t want to have any S Elbst bearing body made of steel, i.e. either self-supporting from aluminium or lattice tube frame. (the point makes the search the hardest…) 3. as far as possible rear drive (front drive would be under conditions but also acceptable) 4. The car should be as Spartan as possible, so no airbag, air conditioning, electric window lifter etc. you know what I am looking for my 5th hard roof.
