  • How do I get rid of the shock absorber?

    Hello dear Ford friends, With my beloved 83 Ford Sierra XR4i the shock absorbers and the dome bearings from the front are not quite fit anymore and unfortunately the previous owner has saved with the shock absorbers, it probably some no-name things have been installed. I have everything so loose, the fixing screw of swivel bearing / suspension leg and the steering rod separate so that I get better. With the spread nut I then pushed the holder apart and the spring leg is also lock he, it’s moving too. However, I can’t get the swivel bearing pushed down as it is in the workshop manual. Now I wanted to ask, is there a special trick or do I have to screw the Stabi loscrew? Thank you for your help Shadow

  • Distance disks

    Hey, wanted to order me for the HA 20mm per page and for the VA 10mm per page. Eibach Prokit is installed so VA 35mm and HA 30mm Lowered. And before I put the mounts I wanted to know if this will work without grinding, did not want to make any changes to the wheel box so much like. Wheel dimensions: VA 8.00x 18 ET 45 HA 8.00x 18 ET 45 Tyre dimensions: VA&HA 245/40 R18 Here are some pictures in the annex of rims and lowering. Will this fit or will this be more critical?

  • C4 first service &lexia

So I say the original DE ́s are VERY chic,but for me just too expensive and I really like them. What I haven’t found out yet is which chamber is for which light. The dipped light is the lens, the stand light is the led-bar, the turn signal is outside and the main light is probably up left. But what is that underneath ????? as I wait 🙂

  • Audi 80 Avant 1.6 urgent help purchase

BJ 95… should he be already (so think of one of the last) power of the engine problems or how do you find the engine in the Audi 80 Avant?? Do you not need a racing car, just something very comfortable to glide there with the family. Space in the Audi 80 Avant… how big is he really – surely with a Passat 35i B4 he can not keep.

P.S.: For heating on the WE I have my Golf R32 in the garage… only that is an absolute lover piece and there is no stroller in the car. Especially because the place is too small. Thank you.

  • Car for small family for 3 k€

    Moin moin! Once again a family member of mine without his own account is looking for a car here. This time my cousin with husband and little child. So far they drive a KdF Polo 6N 1.05 as a three-door and also otherwise naked hut, was just her first car. The box is now not only too small with offspring and has no climate, but soon falls apart. Now a child-seater with climate should be here. She is looking for near 44809 Bochum. Budget: maximum 3 k€ driving profile: A lot of inner-city, she says about 5 tkm a year. Sometimes (rarely) longer distances like e.g. come to me equipment: rear doors, climate, central locking, enough space for reboarder children’s seat and two larger adults (she is almost 1.80). Luggage compartment relatively no matter – there must be one available Whether automatic transmission is OK or hand switch has to be, I still have to find out. I thought so with so few annual kilometers the fuel consumption is relatively negligible, The 1.05 polo is not exactly economical either. With the few kilometers of the year it seems to me also more useful, rather younger year of construction than less km on the clock to prefer. One may correct me if I am wrong. Because the community certainly still has many ideas, which I do not have, I ask now. In case of model recommendations I also wish to mention the weak points (each car model has some) and what one should pay attention to in general.
