Hello, dear motor-talkers! Yesterday I tried to free my little Smart from his parking space filled with snow. Of course the wheels immediately went hopelessly crazy. However, since I didn’t have my mobile folding snow shovel with me (), I still wanted to try it with gentle back and forth weighing… unfortunately unsuccessful. Since time ran out and I urgently had to go to the service, unfortunately also the frustration rose. Frustrated and in the hope that I did not do doc But instead of moving, I suddenly noticed a biting stench, which spread out in the interior. Shocked and to catch at least the next bus, I immediately broke off the maneuver and turned off the engine. Then, of course, the big riddle guesses began in the back-stitch, where this stench might have come from. My first thought was the tires. But could d he rubbers already reach such a temperature after such a short time of turning through on cold ice/snow that they start to stink? My next thoughts then became worse and worse… Gears/converters… The most interesting thing about the thing, however, took place only today. I was traveling today with my father and his Mitsubishi ASX (manual circuit) and we also got stuck. Even after a short time, after the wheels went crazy, I took almost exactly the the same smell true as yesterday with my Smart. So it’s the tires that cause such a smell even on ice-cold snow at minus temperatures after a few seconds of flipping?

Sell or keep?
Hello together, I have a question about which I just want to get some opinions here. I lack the experience in this regard and I just don’t know what to do at the moment: I am currently driving a Fiat 500, 1.2Pop with 69 hp, built in 2008, 1st hand, 120.000km, TÜV new (until 2015), special equipment: chrome compact, additional chrome-plated exterior mirrors (these are not included in the chrome package), air conditioning, ESP, height-adjustable driver’s seat. Color: red, floor mats (special ready-to-use). ng) + rubber foot mats for the winter The great customer service with timing belt change still needs to be done. 8-fold tires, however, also have to be renewed after this year. The bonnet has some stone strokes without dents, but the varnish has broken off. Therefore looks a bit like a fly mushroom. Apart from that, the car is very well maintained. I now consider whether it is perhaps the right time to buy a new car or not. I have to say that until vo r two years I was a lot driver, meanwhile I drive annually between 12,000 and 15,000 km. What do you think? What do your experiences say: Sell, because there may be even bigger repairs in the near future, or invest again in customer service and possibly paint treatment + new tires and drive the car “to the end”?

CPI = brand scooter?
Hello scooter friends, as reported last month (or will) I switch from car to scooter, because financially more reasonable and in big city traffic more briskly. From the beginning I thought about buying a brand scooter, because after some TV reports I realized that cheap discount scooters are not made for daily use. (Dear China scooter fans and drivers, please do not rate as attack – price-lease ratio is otherwise OK) To my actual question: I was i However, I have been looking for dealers in the www and have come across scooters of the brand CPI on their pages again and again. The only thing I know about CPI is: “Moped manufacturer CPI, moped brand from Taiwan” Source: wikipedia.de Can you count scooters of this brand among the so-called “brand scooters” or premium scooters. I’m not quite sure for two reasons. First because of the reputation of rollers manufactured in Southeast Asia. and second because of the favorable new prices (from approx. 1200 €) Thank you in advance.

First car – Request for help
Hello together. First of all, a short profile of me so that you can get a better picture of me and my situation. I’m 21 years old and will be in November 22. With the driver’s license I’m as good as through now and I’m looking for a car for the little money now. I only made the driver’s license now, because I used to be a hothead and just did shit with a car. I have a lively past and am glad that I waited until I left everything behind me. e. A big investment would not be worthwhile, since I will buy a new car in one, or a 1/2 years at the latest. Driving experience I have collected over the years and have no problem with a few PS more (first car that I “needed” to drive myself was a Golf 4 R32). I am aware of the responsibility that you bear if you have 100+ Ps under your butt and drive carefully (also thanks to the 1 year old son of my girlfriend I will be careful there). So, well to my questions and wishes to the vehicle. I have set 1500 Euro as a limit, because it would not be worthwhile to buy a car for 5000 Euro, if I will buy a newer one anyway in the near future. First of all, the vehicle should have a certain charm, whether it is a “noble” German, a splashy Asian/Italian/French etc., or I don’t really care about a bully American. It can only not be a 0815 Auto a la Golf 3 70 Ps. Then we come auc h already to the second point, the car should already have a certain power. I hate to sit e.g. in a 2 ton heavy vehicle and hardly come from the place. I already look for something between 100 and 160 Ps. However, he should not go with it over 2.2 liters ccm. A certain place should also be available, however, golf class would be completely sufficient and there is no need for a combi. Of course, it depends on the car. Color and equipment are also at first less wi In the insurance it will run as a second car and gives me the advantage that I do not have to pay absurd percentages. Fuel consumption should of course be considered, however, I would also pay for some cars a liter more. I hope that a few users can help me here and do not face insoluble tasks. Be happy about every answer. Thank you already. EDIT: Please don’t be surprised if there are a few errors in the text, write with’m smartphone and This can happen before.

What do you think about it? Kaufberatung Kawasaki Z750
Moin, I’m currently looking for a motorcycle, and on Monday I took a look at a Kawasaki Z750 Bj. 2008 / First registration: 2010. Optical tip top and also technical (have made a short test drive). All maintenances are registered, except for the 24,000km inspection (the machine currently has 28,000km). However, the seller changed all liquids this year and had new TÜV made. Now to my question: – Would the machine be worth 4500 – 4800€? or what price? are you ready to pay? Thank you for your opinions. Greetings Ribz

SF classes for vans
Hello everyone, I come from the car with a SF-Class of 28 and wanted to insure a new “delivery car”. (A car with truck registration) So I apply to the HUK24 and get the police with classification SF-20. After the request for correction they inform me that they have the SF20 for vans as the highest class. If you ask me, if I want to insure a car again after a year, then the last classification is valid again, i.e. 8 SF-Classen verl Is that correct? – Does the SF20 limit apply to all insurance companies for vans? -Does anyone here have a delivery car insured with a higher class than the SF20? -Can anyone recommend a cheap delivery car insurance? -Edit: Would I get out of the insurance at HUk24 again? (the “check” after a month still the classification by the pre-insurance). I naturally disagree with the loss of 8 discount years. Thank you. for tips!

Coolant changed Engine damage?
Hello friends, I bought a used Yamaha Thundercat in 1997 and wanted to change the cooling fluid, watched a video from YouTube and did so. I only found the manual and found the operating instructions and found that I did not do it the way it is in the manual. Do I risk an engine damage? The following: I opened the hose at the left side of the water pump below or loosened the clamp and then from the hose of the n Radiator comes the cooling liquid drained, it is of course also a little out of the water pump, according to the manual one should unscrew the screw with the water pump and so blow and additionally two screws at the cylinder head should be opened and there also coolant should be drained… However, I did not do this, just loosen the hose that runs to the water pump and then filled with distilled water at the top in the radiator, the motorcycle approx. 1 minu running around the system to rinse after that again the liquid left out and filled up in the radiator with fresh coolant… Then just start the motorcycle and leave the radiator open so that it is ventilated… I found at the end that I only filled 1.5L, according to the manual belong in the cooling system 1.95L and 0.55 in the reserve tank… take that I have not drained the whole coolant, maybe there is air still inside I risk an engine damage?

Experience report Harley Rocker C
Hello, the first season with the rocker is now over. It would be time to exchange some experiences. I am very satisfied with the motorcycle, driving behavior is fine, braking now . 500 kilometers a day are no problem. Would everything be fine if the extreme tire wear would not be at the 240 pelle. More than 4000 km it does not hold. I have now driven 8000 km and the second tire has again almost no profile…………and the new one costs again correctly. Has someone sc hon another factory mounted e.g. Metzeler ME 880. Unfortunately there are the additional front tyres not in the size 90/90, but only in the size 100/90 (?).If so please ask for info! Wishes all beautiful Christmas days and a good slide into the new year.Permanent, from the 24th 12th it will be back every day a little earlier hel

Large engine = large consumption??
Hello, I always ask myself the question if a car with a lot of ps/cm3 really consumes more than a car with less PS/hubroom. A low-performance car you have to press constantly to get ahead with it. Best example highway: First it is very cumbersome to get the car to speed so you can drive on the AB and second the overcrowding process with a 70 PS gulf is in my opinion very uncomfortable! You almost need a start to be able to overcrowd safely. n 70 hp car with a 100 hp or 150 hp (you don’t really need more!) compare car, would the 70 hp car always have to pay the most on the motorway at approx. 130 KM/H. Would the consumption be higher than with the engine capacity-stronger cars? My incompetent logic tells me: The more engine capacity, the less speed, so the quieter you can run the car and the less fuel consumption. To be able to say what is most economical, one must know w o you drive the most. For people who drive a lot of AB at a speed of approx. 130 km/h upwards, a 150 hp car is probably cheaper than a 70 hp rotary organ, which must be constantly pressed out. For people who drive a lot of city is probably the low-performance small car first choice. But also I think you could drive a car with more engine capacity more economical than a weakling. A hybrid probably (if at all) only interesting for city drivers, but there comes m What do you say? Please tell me what the reality looks like!
