  • C140 problems

    Hi together. Now I’m writing a thread. Although I’m outing a bit. In another thread I wrote that the steering gear of my C140 ( ́97) is licking. Well, I just looked under the car on suspicion, I saw droplets hanging, and immediately found a suspect, namely the steering gear. I would like to say it free only after a thorough examination, but the droplet, which hung there and plowed to the ground (since yesterday in plastic bowl), Did I look more closely into the plastic bowl today? Yellow, thinly liquid, almost aqueous oil that smells like cooler frost protection? How? Just an explanation: It’s cool liquid. My tines have also confirmed it to me. Or I’m getting senile. So the car loses coolant. Has any of you experienced a helpful comment in stock or something similar to calm me down? I can’t detect any leaks in the bulging engine compartment. My navigator is currently no longer receiving satellites. Haven’t experienced this yet. Have the Americans all snapped out their satellites, is the Armageddon coming out of space or my GPS receiver in a bucket? Hoping on berending comments, thirsty and disorienting from the Coupe greeting manfredman

  • Reckless upper class

    Today I had the pleasure of being in traffic jam twice on the A9 near Munich (in the construction site area Allianz-Arena), since someone built an accident again. At the first there was an A8 on another vehicle in the back, at the second there was an S-Class on another vehicle. I’m not surprised anyway, because the owners of such luxury cars mean to have leased the road for themselves… I am working a lot on the BAB and I have to experience it again and again: there comes something from lard n intoxicated, slows down at the last moment and then pushes in the light-up or the turn signal, sometimes also overtakes right. That doesn’t have to be! After all, everyone has to take care of the other in road traffic, even if my car was three times as expensive as his. Or what do you mean?

  • Illuminated gear knobs with TüV?

    Hello, I’d be interested to know if illuminated gear knobs, such as those offered at ebay, have the blessing of the Tüv?

  • right-hand drive on roads/motorways in the city

    Who knows the middle ring in Munich? At the front is the blue sign for “Kraftstraße” (not motorway!) – the road is 2-3 lanes, you can drive 60, etc. Actually the road runs in the inner city – does the right-hand drive offer apply here or do I have free lane choice? Inside the city usually free lane choice but on ner Kraftstraße? Who knows more? This sign I mean:http://www.vkwodw.de/stvo/331.gif

  • Pneumatic spray

    Hello!!! I have a question and I’m looking for a concrete answer! I’ve been listening to everything, but often you always hear 2 opinions and are often not smarter afterwards, hope I get smart here! General problem is the following! I bought a Seat Leon, which has a pleasant trunk! Since I can’t record without music and the necessary sound, I’m already at the conversion phase and the reserve wheel pit should be emptied, so that my Sub-A Now the first and most important question! May I leave my spare wheel, lock cross, etc. at home if I carry 1-2 blow spray cans? What would a can cost and how does it work? (once it was called, simply put on a can with valve and spray in it, then there are other products where you need to additionally like a compressor that sprays the air with a blow spray) Please help me, the K offerraum is 65% expanded, remains only a 350x250mm large opening in the hollow om there to store everything like amps, cap, RK boxes and warning triangle! Thank you!

  • Recommended navigation systems?

    the topic does not fit 100% into the safety forum, but the guided driving increases in the end effect also the traffic safety to my question: since I now tend to a (refitting)navi system for my car, I would be interested in which system is recommended – it should also have a reasonable cost-benefit factor, be relatively easy to integrate into the vehicle, be guided and work in the eu-foreigner. and it comes to me a few solutions in consideration: * gps radio navisystem in the din shaft * pda with gps + navisoftware * standalones (zb tomtom go) What experiences did you have and what would you recommend?

  • Labelling of school carriages

    Hello! I wanted to ask a question for a moment: Does a driving school car have to be marked as a driving school car during a normal driving experience? One thing in advance: Driving students – and we were all once – enjoy a special bonus with me. Uncertainty and possible misconduct is absolutely understandable. But yesterday I was already a bit confused. A golf V driving in front of me was noticeable to me because of its absolutely unsafe driving. Only after I had a Zei It became clear to me: aha, a driving school car! But I could only see this by the fact that a small additional mirror was mounted on the right outside mirror. In addition, it had an additional interior mirror. But – the marking “driving school” was missing, as well as the usual advertising of the driving schools. A test ride also leaves for me, the back bench was empty. Long speech, cuddly sense: driving school cars should always be marked. the other road users adjust to this special situation and accordingly take greater consideration. In this sense, to all driving students much success!!!

  • Mokka, power steering total failure while driving, rear window suddenly bursts with loud bang

    New Opel Mokka 1.4 eco flexNUR PROBLEME New purchase in July 2015 a.) already in January 2016 Total failure of the power steering during the ride, is probably “only” a software error/problem, but you have to experience during the full ride, how nice this software problem then feels, especially in the corner area, especially in a curve b.) now we sit yesterday afternoon on the terrace, vehicle parked opposite on the road (village, 30 zone, no human far and wide, gess We don’t think it’s going to happen either), suddenly there’s a loud bang and the rear window is bursting and torn into a thousand pieces. After opening the rear door, it’s decaying into countless parts. (Luckily, I documented this immediately in my mind before touching anything) (see pictures as an installation). Who in the forum has had similar experiences and can report about it? Let’s wait and see what answers Opel has here with a 9-month-old vehicle and what argument e presented here. I have now completely full the nose of Opel-Mokka, my previous Mazda has served me 17 years without any problems. I am grateful for information, what others have already been able to experience here – and if necessary technical information, how anything is possible ! Thank you very much lpa209

  • Switching or automatic

    Hi, I’m new here with a request for advice: I’m considering buying a Mokka X and would return to my Opel roots. My problem is that I’m not only getting older (and so I want to sit higher), but also a little bit deaf. With my car I don’t hear the engine anymore and forget so often the switching (yes, I know… tachometers and so… – but if you’re used to it…). That’s why I’m thinking: Automatic – even though I’m only switching in 40 years. My question: How is the gear change indicator in the mocha? It is sufficiently noticeable that I can save myself the switch to automatic? Is this just an indicator or a signal? I didn’t find a photo at Opel… Can anyone say anything about this? Thanks.
