  • Close-circuit clock

    At my friend’s Berlingo Advance (b9) the locking cylinder in the driver’s door and the car can’t be opened again and again with the key (no radio remote control, only central locking). Since the locking cylinder of the rear door is completely oxidized and can only be turned in the direction of the passenger door, this is not nice. Yesterday we removed the cylinder. This is easy: a Torx 20 screw in the door (behind the round adhesive pad) bi I had imagined that it would be easy to pull out a possibly locking attachment (if necessary all – nobody knows). Unfortunately, the whole thing is a closed housing in which an opening is probably not intended. One would have to drill out four pins and could then probably open the housing – just how to close it again? A bath in petrol and multifunctional oil did bring a certain improvement, a Can anyone give advice?

  • Too short 5.Gang translated

    Have the following problem with my Berlingo BJ.2009,1,6 HDI with 80kw. My Berlingo is super-saving in the city and overland operation.Consums an average of 5.3l/100km.As soon as I drive the motorway the consumption goes up to over seven liters, although I do not drive faster than 130. At 130kmh I have 2950U/min on it.One notice clearly that the engine still has a lot of power and a sixth gear would be more than desirable. For Citroen you can find very few information about the technology. effend. Therefore my question: does someone know which six-speed gearbox, of course with a longer translation, fits my Berlingo? Or has someone ever swapped the gear pair for the 5th gear for a longer translated one? Original are a 50 teeth and 33 gear pair installed.Would I be very interested in how much U/min at 130kmh and a gear pair of 54 x 31 teeth would be concerned.Can you calculate that somehow?The work effort should only be about one hour,because the drive e does not have to be removed, but only the sheet cover has to be removed at the side.

  • Attention !! Repair of the windscreen at Carglass not free !!

    Hello together, with this post I want to clean up with the rumor that the stonefall repair at Carglass is free. I would also like to get to know your opinion about this in my opinion misleading advertising. Here is what it really looks like : The advertisement says that Carglass performs the repair free of charge with existing partial cascade. However, this is not correct, because of course a bill is written and it must be paid of course These repair costs do not have to be paid directly by the customer, but by his insurance. So if I remember correctly a job for which someone has to pay after all not free of charge. For example, for free would be if you now in October take the light test actions in all master plants of the car interior and no one has to pay for this work. Another example with which you personally pay nothing but the e whole action is still not free : You go with your father to buy a DVD player for you and your father then pays 200 euros, then you did not pay anything yourself but it was not free then, or ? In addition, the cost calculation of the stone impact repair with the insurance is of course even if there is an excess for all car glassers and workshops. That means that Carglass operates with some advertising this quite normal and for other car glassers I would also like to point out that the advertising of Carglass only applies to the repair of the disc and not to the exchange, because there must be paid the excess. So and now my personal opinion : Does it have a big company like Carglass because it is necessary to mislead the people and to brag with a little bit grossly, that for a thousand other car glass companies is the most normal in the world. So I convince for my part, nevertheless, to advertise through quality and service by master hand as with such misleading sayings. Please tell me what you think of this advertisement and how you understood the slogan. Your opinion is very important to me.

  • Ford Transit Year of construction 2006 TDCI 280 85

    Good evening, have 2 questions: 1. How can I change the two wedges at my father’s transit? Have looked at this a little bit and with the little one there is no tensioner to see and with the big one already. However, you wouldn’t get the wedge belt by if you took it off because the tensioner sits directly in front of it. Must the tensioner down? 2. The vehicle had a fault in the AGR and air mass meter. AGR replaced air mass meter with brake cleaner cleaned. The vehicle runs Sporad As I said, sporadically and not always. However, if you speed up and keep the speed at approx. 2000 revolutions it runs quite normal, it is only in idle. I only renewed AGR and did not learn anything. I have also renewed fuel filters. If you had an idea what it could be? It would help me very much. Thank you in advance MFG

  • Transit Euroline: 3 batteries? Circuit?

    Hello, I have three batteries in the transit Euroline 2001. Had a total failure yesterday, could only be successfully bridged in the workshop. Reason probably: Coolbox one day. I thought so far for this the two additional batteries are there and protect the starter battery? Therefore the question: How are the switches on? Will I put a charger in place for camping, but to which battery terminals? Thanks and greetings, Rainer

  • TÜV Bestanden – Fixing defects?

    Hello, I have already searched the forum but found no answer. So, yesterday I passed TÜV and AU with defects. The standard text reads: Your vehicle is zZ – with the exception of the following points – in the correct condition. If your workshop has not corrected the defects in the meantime, please remove them as soon as possible. Defects: Windshield: Stonefall outside the viewing area of the Fz guide. What does that mean exactly? I have to have the stonefall repaired or can I neglect this in the absence of a hint to the re-show? Sounds to me like a request, “as soon as possible” is also a more extensible term. Can anyone say something?

  • Strange experience

    Hello. I would like to tell you a little experience and maybe you can solve the riddle. I was shopping today, about 30 km of highway from my place of residence. The road is rather narrow and very curvy with many villages in between. After a few kilometers on the drive, a car snake starts in front of me. At a very elongated curve I could see a tractor in front. The car snake behind the tractor was certainly 300 meters long. Suddenly dive into my m rear-view mirror a thick Ami pickup, I would say as a layman a Ford so 10 years old. The distance was absolutely impossible to see on the kilometers because on one side forest, some hills before the next turn etc.. He pulls by me with full throttle begins to overtake the snake. I thought he wants to take his life and already thought if I still have the small fire extinguisher in the trunk, maybe there is still something to save. But he managed, though as I said every 100 meters behind the next turn could have arrived a 40-ton. Now I wonder why he overtook me? 1) Magnificent and incredible luck (probably rather improbable) 2) .. good question .. To make it clear again: Absolutely impossible to see the driving track. 2 strict curves he has crossed. Can you clarify the puzzle? Are there radar cars in America that have everything within a radius of 5 km in view?

  • Motorcycle “total damage” – comprehensive – What do I get?

    Good evening I had an accident with my new 2300km YAMAHA YZF-R3. My insurance is Sportect, a subsidiary of Nuremberg. I’m probably guilty, I lost control over the motorcycle, but don’t remember at all. Strange is, I also drove about 30 in a 30’s zone. It was incomprehensible. Well. Anyway, the motorcycle is now in my garage. According to the expert/s total damage. I really don’t know how the expert comes to 850€ part costs t… I have created an invoice of almost 1200€ with the things I have now found to replace. The items are available on procaliber.com or on partzilla.com The insurance is at 1000€ excess, I am also a beginner. And 5200€ value without VAT. = 4400€ of which deduct the residual value and the excess, so stay 1800-1990€. That can’t be the case with a comprehensive insurance? In the appendix I have the report, together with all the pictures h I thought it would be good to remove all the parts that are damaged or have to be removed anyway. What could I do now? Thank you very much!

  • 4 weeks walk, tips and tricks

    Hello all, now after 23 years driving license it caught me still still. 2 x within 12 months (more precisely, 11,5) with more than 25 km/h too much (once 26 and once 29) on AB and Landstrasse (at the 2nd time really not paying attention, because the motorcycle speedometer is so small and I after truck overtaking maneuvers on clear country road (but not clear enough to be lasered from over 400 m unrecognized) but too much at the handle. Follow: 1 month driving ban 🙁 As o no instructions please, have already been taught and show regret, pleasure of damage is allowed 😉 How did you bring the month around so, starting point is: Home office, i.e. ways to work do not occur or customer and similar appointments must then be made with the train. I am concerned in this Fred to get suggestions, which reliefs, tips and possibly also chances you have used to make this status (pedestrian, bike, bus, train driver) as pleasant as possible. Maybe some have also used it to change lifestyles sustainably (even after the driving ban).
