  • Car brakes on its own.

    Hello together, I have a problem and that my brakes self-braking. I had the problem that my car at the front right got the rim really hot and even started to squeak and very loudly. Problem was that the piston was completely rusted with the caliper and not really re-tried. Problem found, two new calipers bought and changed. Brake pads are also new and the disc is hardly worn out. Problem now, however, is that I notice that my car is very lightly braking itself. Rims are driving after 50 minutes, minimally warm, if you can call it warm. The brake disc is equally hot on both sides. At the back I also installed short new brake pads, caliper and two new brake ropes. Can anyone help me there? I thank you in advance.

  • Mazda 6 Motorization

    Hello, after 22 years of service car I have to take care of a private car I drive an A6 diesel four-wheeler with a little over 200 hp. I want to decide for Mazda and fluctuate between the 6 car and the CX5. Automatic. The dealers recommend me the 194PS engine instead of the 185PS engine. How are your experiences – is the difference really so great? The leasing rate is about 50 euros per month higher. I know that I will not have the performance of the A6 – but for my trips to work and holidays in France and Italy I don’t have to race. For tips I would be grateful, since I have to decide soon. Unfortunately, the trial drive with the 6 car is a real problem – no dealer has a demonstration car. At CX5 no problem… but SUV??

  • Alarm goes to with spare key without battery

    Mazda 6 Sports-Line with LogIn remote control Hi, don’t go further, the instructions are thin and not exactly clear … In short: How do I start the car with the spare key or generally with a key without a battery, without the alarm going off? I put my first key (with battery) far away and with the second/physical key the door opens: Alarm goes off. Operating instructions: no indication for proper operation with physical spare key. There is only how, e.g. with the burglary sensor switch off the alarm, namely with the key on the key case – if a battery is in it. Is not. Or how to turn off the alarm when it has gone off: with battery key or with motor, clear. Or “turn off the anti-theft system”, i.e. complete: press the unlock button on the FB. Clear – if a battery is in it. The two-track “theft protection system” is also described: Auto theft or the the theft of objects? Then it sounds “the sirene or the horn or what? What is the connection?

  • Clutch pedal without pressure – kind of weird…

    Hello, the clutch of my coupé (C123/230CE) suddenly behaves quite strangely. The car recently stood up for about 6 weeks – but before the clutch functioned completely unobtrusively – a week ago I first noticed in the garage that the clutch pedal felt funny soft and resistanceless. When driving it was noticeable that the clutch was coming very early, so much earlier than before. After a short ride, however, the whole thing completely normalizes again; also in the stand the pedal pressure is normal again, the clutch is used to tight. The effect showed up today, after about a week of service life again. The clutch is only four years old and has not yet 5’000 km on the hump – so what could it lie about? Thank you in advance!

I then did not have to call the fault codes other than the yellow angels and they could call into the control unit :–, the fault memory gives to that only the gear speedometer is defective, that is true. which I heard the same messages came times at a colleague and with him were simply removed the error codes from the control unit and never again what he has tested the vehicle afterwards at MB, but I can’t find out anything, even the number of the gear dial was ok for the error check and I had read the wrong.

  • Shut off the puff doesn’t want to open anymore

    Hello in the round, I come directly to the thing, since yesterday the flap only sporadically opened, today garnix happens more. One hears at the start of the car, where he makes the self test of the flap only a short tinned noise, without the flap open and again, and when I go on sport mode one hears a kind of electric “bsst”, so quasi that the flap is controlled on each case, but it opens up nothing. Someone already had the same phenomenon? I have installed the bastuck system, if that is of concern. Dear greetings and thank you in advance for your answers.

  • Radio no sound and/or cracks

    Hey, for a few days now I’ve had a crack on the speakers or sometimes even no sound at all. I’ve tried a lot. I’ve changed the radio and wobbled on all kinds of cables, etc. – nothing. The only thing I can do to cause the error myself is to set the air conditioning so cold it goes and wait 2-3min. First it starts to crack, shortly after that there’s no sound. When I turn on the heater afterwards, it takes 2-3min until it starts to crack and shortly after that I have no problems. Does someone happen to have the same problem or can someone tell me what’s sitting between the radio and the speakers? Or whether the radio is directly connected to the speakers? If there’s something there, you just get there? Or does the entire dashboard have to be removed? MfG

  • First questions… W123 240D Built 1979

    After I have now my darling in the garage I have made a list with things I want to do/must to bring everything back to work. 36 years have of course left traces. For all those who have not read my “return post”: I bought me w123 240D from 1979. Probably still the first model, because rabbit ears. Is not at 79 so easy … And now my questions, which have so posed themselves during the first driving and inspecting: 1) Was the ZV serially with the vehicles? If I have one it does not close, or has no function. However, all locks are also very difficult and the buttons are not as good as not to press. I type on 25 years no care and resin. I have to look at myself in the spring. 2) Does the fan run on the engine with the model IMMER with it? With my previous W124 200D it was not yet the case that I had to keep up with the light. In the current W123 it is always funny. Maybe the thermostat in the bucket or the fan is simply set on continuous plus. Before I did not want to ask for the light check. But I did not have to have to give a lot of time to ask for the light.
