  • MB fills ATF instead of SAE80 in the gearbox and drove 80T KM.

    Servus together! on the manual gearbox of my 208d from 1993 with 230T KM stands at the filling screw SAE80 and thus this or better a 75W-80 should be filled. Gear transmission is a 5speed 711,110. This year the transmission (or maybe I too) sometimes worked a little bad so that I switched off about 5 times and the gears with gear collars. On the bill of a MB workshop that changed the gear oil before approx. 80T KM stood “gear oil ATF” and thus f I recently enveloped the LM1200 ATF. About the 200KM driven so far, the gearbox turned clean and soft. But as I learned the ATF is definitely the wrong OIL!!!!! On the magnet of the drain screw it looked like this, see picture. Very fine abrasion with a few pieces 1-2,5 mm large which look like tooth flanks. Can you explain to me what an ATF oil does wrong in my gearbox? Why does an ATF come in in most 711 gears? Thanks in advance.

  • W221 S320CDI OM642 Air turbulence/looping/rumbling while driving

    Good day, I drive a S320 CDI built in 2008 at 247000km engine OM642… And I have the following problem…and that’s standing while gasting and also during the ride usually so between 1500-2000 revolutions the car makes such a funny noise. I was so far in 9 different workshops and unfortunately nobody could help me any more. The turbo was suspected but this has neither game on the shaft nor is the one from the inside. I also did not have any power loss or black smoke The vehicle has often gone into emergency running yesterday replaced the AGR valve and now the vehicle is running much better but this noise or grinding or the air turbulence that arises there is still there and slowly gets on my nerves and so far no workshop could tell me what that is. When you stand in front of the engine you hear that comes from the right side of the engine. The MKL is not on and when reading out it shows no errors at all. n. And while driving the vehicle is jerking. I am currently at a loss. Did not find anything in the net that resembles the problem.. am currently at a loss I ask for help ???????????

  • CPI Hussar does not start

    I have a problem. A buddy of mine brought me the scooter of his daughter. According to their statement, the part just went out during the ride and doesn’t start now. I’ve already changed the spark plug, is now a new one. Ignition spark is there. Carburettor dismantled and the nozzles looked, are both free. When I hold my hand behind the carburettor, I noticed that it sucks in. When I hold my hand behind the exhaust, I also notice that it leaves out. What seems strange to me, however, is this: There is quite a lot of fluid in the crankcase, which is thrown out of the opening for the membrane block during the star test (electrically). Is this normal or does it not have to be relatively dry with the two-stroker? I don’t know so much about two-strokers, rather screw around cars. What else could I check? Greeting m_driver

  • Sofa scooter unsuitable for driving in residential areas ?

    Hello, can one with these sofa scooters, which look like “full-eat wild boars”, these long-wood transporters with the two tiny little wheels, in residential areas not neatly, correctly drive around the corner ???? Must one cut each, even an unobtrusive road estuary as a left-hand bender so that an incoming scooter driver remains only the full braking ?? Thus happened yesterday: If my “Gazelle” had not stopped immediately and on the spot, this “full-eat wild boar” would have driven me fully into the flank although I was not even in the crossing area !!! Even a cyclist as a right-hand turner would not have come through between “wild boar” and embankment, so far was the one to bend on the opposite road !!! Quick direction change and evasive maneuvers (laughter) are probably not possible with these heavy, “full-eat boars” !! ??? or ??? …and just for that one should with such a heavy K without cutting any curves !!! already no confusing !!! Later I heard him again “(neighbor, next cross road, few houses further on), apparently he was at the “engine tunen”, since he has turned up the engine several times in idle …..(tubed through the whole residential area) !!! crunchy !!!

  • Increase credibility by verification? …is that feasible?

    Hello dear people of MT, I have been active here for a few years now and have already written one or the other post. Most probably with my own opinion in the purchase consultation, but in my opinion also liked more than hated. Unfortunately, there are always current cases in which one believes to be in the wrong movie. The best example for me was the beloved Hans… who probably glued us all. Not that I was in his inn every day, but his Contributions have always been informative… I believed him, like so many others. Now there are people here and there who claim to be his e.g. car dealer or insurance specialist and unfortunately you have to doubt whether the whole thing corresponds to the truth. Long speech short sense: I think a kind of verification or identity check would displease one or the other here and the garbage would be easier to discover or separate from the “good” ones. Of course everything voluntarily and perhaps in three levels. I don’t know. In other areas of the Internet, it’s also possible. Costs? You have to talk about this and personally the proof of my faith here would be worth something. Others might as well. I have some ideas and suggestions about this, but first I want to wait for a first feedback from you. Until then… and who has it today: a nice holiday!

  • “Aggregatethreads” – the egg-legging woolen milk sow or the death of the readers?

    With all due respect, but the constant merging of different threads into a collection thread should be done with a little more overview. Just because a topic fits almost into a large container, it doesn’t mean that it is correctly picked up there. That’s how it happened to me often lately, and then I don’t want to follow the topic any more, I have to do better than to search through page-by-page postings every night. Currently in the B8 Foru m (VW) there is a collection thread: Defects on the Passat B8 with over 1,560 posts. Who reads them please if he is looking for a solution to a problem? Even my own topic can not be found quickly, not to mention further answers. Did I not get into the B7 forum in the last 4 years. Wrong? Then just look at the first page of the respective forum and count the “collecting threads” that you notice. Sorry, but you can It’s also a bit exaggerating with the clean-up. Unless you have too many users…

  • You want to say thank you….

    http://www.motor-talk.de/…/…k-we-wollen-danke-sage-t5513390.html The idea is not bad, but it limps something. The users should name helpful users and do so diligently. Now, however, one reads again and again that forum godparents and moderators cannot be considered or are not available for choice. However, in your articles (blogs, news, forum threads) one reads nothing about it. Why not? Especially the forum patents were often chosen by the forum users….not without reason, as I do. Think. The mods have earned themselves somewhere and at some point (and still do it today) and got the job…… certainly not without reason. What about the godparents and the mods?

  • The Autopapst (Andreas Kessler)

    a very great type! just at wiso in zdf he has shown once again what he can do. this is pure bullshit and people stupidity what this person does there. battery pole loose is already happening. relay defective as well. but if a fuse burns through then there is one reason. what use it to replace the defective safety without finding the reason for it? Absolut Nix! has already happened to me on the trip on holiday. total failure of air conditioning and ventilation. new safety pure and everything goes back to the acceleration stiffen! was really not funny. and to find the reason for a defective safety is probably a little too much from a pan helper. was in my case a whole day troubleshooting, harness cutting, measuring, switching plans rolling,…. the 3 errors occur at the same time is also very unlikely. and what is so bad about my car being towed to a workshop? the car club carries the costs! so her Kessl he and wiso: if you want to test seriously you have to raise your level more than clearly.

  • Elchtest C-Class

    Hello, is there a particular reason why the bad performance of the C350e in the Elchtest is not addressed and instead articles about Mercedes from North Korean production appear? You don’t have to notice everything immediately, but it is strange. There is also no place to discuss the topic. In the Mercedesforum there is certainly not the right place and in the article on the recall of the S-Class there are complaints.http://teknikensvarld.se/…/http://www.heise.d e/…/…350e-Plugin-Hybrid-im-Elchtest-2866231.html Comparison table of other models: http://teknikensvarld.se/algtest/http://www.motor-talk.de/…/…sse-the-belts-exchanged-t5479656.html
