  • C3 HDI 1.4 Density injectors

    Hello! I bought a used C3 1.4 HDI BJ 2002 2 months ago. The seller said there is what about the 2nd cylinder (coking ?) therefore the car stinks in the interior, you think you have to scratch off right away I am here in Lübeck to a Citroen dealer and asked for a copper ring and got it. My colleague then installed the sealing ring and the smell was gone and subjectively the car pulls a bit better. Well, after a good 500KM I was on the Autobah n and thought, boy.. You only drive always in the city, give some rubber, that is always good. I then realized, the C3 has only VMAX 150KM/h… actually a little bit for a diesel with about 80 hp…. Hardly off the highway (about 30KM full gas), at the next traffic light … there it was again… this bad smell in the interior. Ask you experts: Can this be leaked again when it was first changed (and was dense) ? Or is now another seal of another cylinder s am Ar… You don’t hear anything good about this engine …. 2. Question: Does someone have an excerpt from a manual where the change of seal ring is illustrated ? I would also pay (logically). Or quickly sell cars again ? LG from Lübeck… Andreas

  • Spell check off?

    I’m sorry if I’m probably asking a stupid question, but in wrongly written words, a red underscore always appeared, and since I’m trying to write half-readable posts, I found it very hip. This underscore is now gone, and now to my question: Was this feature even integrated in the forum, or was it perhaps a “feature” of my browser/operating system? Should the spell check however be part of the forum software se In, please tell me how to activate them. I would hate to die stupid! Thank you, Mez!

  • Question on statistics in the cockpit

    I had a bit of a peek in my cockpit today. I noticed that the info, under activity, on blogs “3 articles written” is even though I haven’t written a blog yet. How is that possible?

  • Bug vehicle profiles

    Hey, as I posted in the beta area, a bug has appeared. With the vehicle profiles you can’t get to the second page with the comments. As an example: My Golf I can’t see the comments from proXimaus and Labymaus7. I think that this bug is interesting for everyone, so I made it live public in this sense.

  • Survey and Thread Tempolimit Closed

    Thanks for this to Schreddi. I have been observing this for quite a while and also think that the topic is through after 44,307 entries on 2,954 pages anyway. No one will read what is actually necessary in order to be able to discuss reasonably. Besides, there should be no argument, which has not been chewed through already x times. Probably at the end it was more about setting a record thread.

  • Problems with the mobile platform?

    In the last few days I have had more and more problems with the mobile platform. At last I (Nokia N97) was guided after writing posts always on an empty page, from which there was no escape. A surveyed friend (EiFon) had the same effect already directly after the login, that makes the mobile phone itself. Is there a prospect of improvement=recovery of the previously working situation? Greeting Stefan(I would like not here about meaning and nonsense of the mobile platform d Iskuten!)

  • Steering cracks

    Hello together a few weeks ago it first occurred. I (woman *g*) had taken my Laguna 1.6 – 16 V Bj 2000 Grandtour in a slope and the steering (in the stand – yes I know … my husband has already mottled ) very strongly. After that I heard it for the first time. In the stand, while driving and steering or when ranking the steering cracks. Right as well as left. (When I heard it the first time I thought of a spring that is spanned and then over the point and I always feel that it always happens in the same place. Strangely it was 3-4 weeks away and is now back and I mean it has become significantly more. I noticed that it is partly cracking when driving over a curb or changing load. I hope it is to understand – because I don’t know how to describe it at all. Steering has no game and power steering is normal – so not heavier or so. When driving normally listen And the steering does not make any noises except the cracking! In the summer we had a damage to the steering gear or the 2 cables we replaced. One of the pipes was rusted through and the oil was looking for its way into freedom. GSD at home so the nothing happened. But can it be zb that the rack has to be greased? An acquaintance said he had the one thing l had …. Has anyone had similar experiences or a tip ? Lg Anke

  • Tyre pressure

    The manufacturer strongly points out, 2.8 bar on the cold tire. At the Nordschleife people constantly lower the tyre pressure on warm tires to the target value of the cold tire. That can’t be right, can it?

    So now that I can order a cage.Domstrebe at the back and Domstrebe at the bottom I already have. Up front that doesn’t fit because of the balance tank. Now the question which cage is better?Want me to order one at Wiechers. Steel is clear and through the dashboard with X and flank protection and H-street. Is it better at the back on the dome or behind the dome?Or on the dome but then coming from behind. What is “stable” and what looks better? Maybe you can also drive slalom or mountain racing?
