  • Interest in Mazda 6 and already a question

    Hello dear Mazda driver! I’m new here because I have a great interest in a Mazda 6 limousine. So on a certain one I have looked at today. I once attached a picture to which also my question refers. As you can see on the picture, the car has tinted windows, but only on the side windows?! The rear window is “normal”. Is this the case with Mazda or does he possibly get a new rear window? Overall, I’m really excited about the car and would like to buy it. Are just small things, for which I need a bit of clarity before that. Thank you for the help 🙂

  • KIA CEED SW BJ22 gives too little “gas” to keep pace

    Hello, I’ve had the problem for a few months now that my KIA Ceed SW 1.0 BJ22 sometimes has no power at all uphill. The problem usually exists either the whole ride over or everything runs smoothly. Short error description, when driving with a problem: The car accelerates somewhat carrier than usual up to approx. 100km/h. From then on it basically hardly any more. Neither with cruise control nor with “full gas”. In the course of minutes it comes at some point to 130km/h and can also keep it short as long as it doesn’t go uphill. But as soon as only a touch of slope comes it loses massive speed (depending on duration and slope on below 90km/h) and whether I give full gas or not, whether I switch it down or not, it doesn’t accelerate any more. It’s no control light, the only thing that strikes me is that the fuel consumption indicator under approx. 10l/100km “fixed”. That means that the engine consumes no more than about 10l later, although it’s more to keep up the pace or I’m going through full. However, the test has not been able to find anything at the speed.

  • Indicator in cockpit oil pressure too low with warm engine

    Hello dear Schraubergemeinde, I despaired at my Mini Cooper s r56, type M 71 Bj 2009, 171000 km If the engine is warm after about 8 km the indicator and warning lamp goes on, moter pressure too low, when I play with the speed the indicator goes off again after a short time. After measuring the oil pressure in cold idle o,8 bar, when it is warm located zero. Otherwise if I increase the threshold also it at 1 bar and not higher. What did I do: Control chain + drive oil pump oil pump replaced connecting bearings replaced piston rings replaced valve shaft seal replaced oil pressure sensor new Where can it still lie, that the oil pressure disappears? Does one have an idea? Ach valve cover also new. Can it lie on the pressure valve with oil flange? Please help me because I also run out of patience.

  • Mini One R55 Nails / Motor noise Hydropumps?

    Hello all, I bought my first car about 6 weeks ago, a mini one from 2007 with 95 hp and about 156,000 km. Unfortunately, the engine makes funny nailing or clacking noises in the idle run. When you drive the engine sounds normal. (Maybe only the noise will be overwhelmed…) After searching in the forum I hit on V-belts and chain tensioners. On Wednesday I changed the V-belt with an acquaintance. This was also necessary, because the old one was very brittle and missed at a point about 0.5 cm of 2 ribs. Unfortunately, this did not help with the noises. As a result, we changed the control chain tensioner yesterday. The engine sounds only minimally better. I would rule out the steering chain that I did not feel a ratchet. Could the wash be caused by broken Hydropulses? I don’t know any more and hope that the experts from the Communtiy can help me. Additional information: If the engine is cold he has sometimes lost some oil. Otherwise the oil has not returned a bit of speed.

  • Peugeot Boxer 2.8Hdi no power

    Hello guys, I have the following problem: My Peugeot Boxer 244 double cab 2.8 Hdi, Built in so much of the turbo can? 2006 94Kw/128 PS (should he actually have, 🙁 but are not there ) has a power problem. Somehow he doesn’t get on it. Acceleration from 0 to 100 takes 4 weeks and at about 135 Kmh on straight distance is close, whether I carry cargo or not. On the mountain every 38-tonner makes a long nose and pulls off ;-(, has to really get back to the 4th gang to be able to keep up at all. In the 4th gang it goes on free distance up to about 115 Kmh at about 3800 rpm and then in the 5th gang it’s end with fun and he doesn’t get out of his socks. He then goes up to about 135 Kmh and then creates only slipper 2900 U/min max. if at all. Have used a chip tuning box now but only got to test for the end speed of about 10 Kmh but he doesn’t and with the acceleration he can not give me a crap truck.

  • New entrants in the transport industry

    Moin, I have a few questions that I’d like to ask you. It’s about getting into operation with my father. He’s currently a self-driver (subcontractor). He used to ride a tarpaulin and today he’s overseas container. Is only driving Northern Germany. Now the question, if I’d like to join in, which vehicle is recommended? Especially for beginners? He drives a ́06 XF 105 510 SSC. I would already be much too big. It would be important to me that the car has a green badge. Even better if also Euro 5 motor A vehicle with Euro 3 / yellow badge will not be worth it, because you will always come into fewer cities, or how do I see it? I hope you can help me MfG V8Trucker

  • S-Class TOOLS

    Moin Moin, a small story and a few questions: My father’s S-Class was stolen from our house’s garage in the summer of 2006. It was a S 350 L W220 year 2004. The car cost about 80,000 € in itself in its time, but we had so much special equipment that the value was about 102,000 €. One evening the car was then stolen from our, actually massive garage. When the Kripo came to us then, of course, the dad was suspected – because of insurance fraud etc. – but then settled. The car was examined by the Kripo, a few weeks later and then specifically cracked by a gang over a laptop and then highly professionally drove 2 streets further into a truck and off the border in a very short time. Exactly 3 times my mother had left with the “Müllrausbringen” a suspicious car in front of the green piece, and then asked if they could help – but then cut it off?! My questions: Well, there is one more way of collecting it, but there is one more way of looking at me?

  • W126 – Rumming while driving

    Hello dear S-Class driver! I have an urgent question for you. Yesterday I was in the garage in Bern because of loud noises on my W126 500 SE. The machinist said that the hardi disk is no longer O.K. There is a new one. Now there are many to choose from except the originals. Now I wanted to ask which one you can recommend: Birth – China Corteco – China FEBI – Germany Lemfoerder – Germany Jurid – France MEYLE – China SWAG – ? Topran – China Where can you safely save a few euros without taking a risk? The middle camp must also be exchanged. Here the same question? Where can you save a few euros without taking a risk? Greetingsli, Jagous

  • Mercedes S class or rather not

    Hello, I’m new here and have a few questions, would like to buy a new car soon, have already the S class ́99 in mind, but to be honest, I have a lot of muffles in front of the box because of its air suspension and the vulnerable automatic transmission. 1. Am I lying right in the presumption that a transmission oil change every 50 000 km (tim … method ) the lifespan considerably extended ? 2. Airmatic, most it leaks on the spring legs above ( there is a rep. set ) or on any line which would not be so tragic, or the compressor gives up the spirit ( 250 .- ) ? if you now look at these problems is all actually not as bad as it sounds, above all I am a mechanic myself and could do everything myself except transmission repertures. A broken compressor, 250.- already scrolling and self-installing, defective lead itself exchange etc… Now all Mercedes insiders are in demand, you think I am realistically lying?
