  • New Audi 80 2.6 V6, a few questions.

    Good evening people, I bought an Audi 80 2.6 V6 today for 300€. The car is a 2nd hand vehicle, which had an accident damage at the front right. This was fixed at Audi in Hanover, 2x headlights, lock racks, both fenders, bumper, bonnet, fog headlights Both sides were repaired in the accident and repainted (value: 2214.72€) !!! The car has almost no equipment, only servo, ABS, El. sliding roof and the Wars. 297,000km ran (tooth belt 2012 at 274,000km). All in all a good purchase for 300€? In addition, there are aluminium wheels (no originals) with summer tires. However, I have two questions: The bi-cats are defective, Cheapest possibility to replace them? The front axle cracks extremely when steering, whether left or right. What could be defective here? Love greetings, and photos come from 10.06.2014

  • How clean can you even get Otto engines if you put technology in the right way?

    Hello together, in view of the planned, once again intensified EU exhaust limits for cars I am just wondering, if there burners, especially Otto engines, also diesel, can technically still come along because of me? Let’s say, it can really cost something, like today often a hybrid drive extra, what should you do exactly and how clean you get gasoline engines at all? According to the motto “Chemiefabrik im Trunk”. What would they have to do and with which components. One could read somewhere that one could make for about 3000 euro per vehicle extra price series cars (petrol cars) really clean. At least like e-cars in the overall inspection. Or are gasolineers anyway all switched to gas or some eco-tanking, which is then again considered politically “good”? I regret it very much that the manufacturers seem to swing on electric. The charging and the range I find completely inadequate and for me as a lantern parker basically not usable. So I really don’t need a car. Even today’s small engines, so Polo or Dacia with 3-Zyl would have to have to have a look like of 50, but a bit less CO.

  • Engine damage Audi RS5 with only 53,000 KM

    Hello guys, I have a big problem, my Audi RS5 (which I sold) has an engine damage of just 53,000 KM. The car is just 2.5 years old. All inspections were made at Audi, no tuning or similar. Audi turns out to be cross and doesn’t want to take over a cent on the wheel, even the 300,- Euro for the damage detection are calculated. The car was moved with overpass mark, and at approx. 100 KM/H simply gave up the “spirit”. (Out of the way). I would be happy about a feedback, or maybe someone has experienced the same fate and can give me a few tips. I don’t want to take the whole thing that easy. Thank you and nice greeting Freeman

  • Sport OPF?

    When I was on the ring on the weekend and excited about the sound of the M2 Competition despite sports exhausts, I asked myself the question whether there will be a Sport OPF, or if it is even possible. My consideration is that there is also Sport Kats that steal less sound than normal. In the case of the M2 with sports exhaust I am satisfied with the volume and in everyday life the sound is more or less good but in the Sport+ the only sound I can call loud, it is neither hollow nor dull, it is just an unsightly noise. What I would hope from a Sport OPF would be just more abundance. So what do you think? Will there be a Sport OPF? Will the car manufacturers find a way to keep a better sound despite OPF?

  • Full gas: load on the drive train in different gears

    Hello, I wonder how different the components of the drive train are loaded in different gears. Let’s take the following two examples to compare: – Driving in 1st gear, starting from 2000 rpm to 6500 rpm Full-speed – Driving in 4th gear, starting from 2000 rpm to 6500 rpm Full-speed According to my logic, the engine would have to be less loaded in 1st gear, because it has to fight with less resistance and turns up faster, so it will only be loaded for a shorter time. But what about the remaining drive train (two-mass swing wheel, clutch, gear, cardan shaft, hardy disk, differential, drive shafts)? I imagine that in 1st gear more torque will arrive at the wheels than in 4th gear. Because it is also easier to let the wheels spin through in 1st gear than in 4th gear. That would mean that the remaining drive train will be loaded more in 1st gear than in 4th gear. Is this right?

  • Smart 451 no longer starts

    Hello guys, I have the following problem, the Smart doesn’t start at all. Smart Fortwo Coupé mhd, 451, built in 2008, gasoline, 52kw.

  • Smart 451 storage compartment rear flap

    Hello, is there a ready solution to “upholster” the storage compartment in the tailgate so that the contents don’t snap? If there’s nothing finished, how would you best solve it? Are there special mats that I could glue on full surface? Can someone tell me what exactly the name of this compartment has? Would at least help me with the search.

  • Huge request for chassis data or axle measurement values of the Fortwo Brabus 451

    Dear forum! I have massive problems with my smart, because it drives extremely spongy, from approx. 70Km/h strongly vibrating, turning from approx. 60 Km/h only difficult and it is absolutely wind prone. He now has the 6th axle measurement behind him, whereby four of them have been carried out directly at Mercedes Benz. Unfortunately, the car drove from survey to surveying always worse. My problem is that the SOLLWERTE (!), which are predetermined by the manufacturer Smart (Brabus), differ with all measurements in one and the same Mercedes Benz workshop alone. … Please, anyone has the chassis values of the Smart 451 Brabus at hand for me?!!!? Please!!!! …. I am really in despair now.

  • Engine gets hot, both fans don’t run

    Hello together, I have a problem with my Smart Fortwo 451 CDI. The engine gets hot, but none of the fans starts. Neither the one from the charging cooler, nor the one from the engine cooling. I tried the one from the charging cooler external and ran normally. Safes are also ok. I was at 2/3 workshops and nobody wanted to deal with the car. They said that Smart are complicated vehicles. I would be grateful for every tip.

  • I can’t decide

    Hello together, Yannis is my name, the (exille french in Bavaria) I will do the practical test in a few days and hopefully create I am interested in my first car since 2 years, _The first came the 190 of Mercedes into question because I grew up with Mercedes and I wanted something safe and robust; but I later noticed that the 190er does not meet the safety criteria I need, drivers and co-drivers airbags + ABS are rare in such old cars _Then came the VW Vento, but that is just as expensive as a stinky normal 3er golf with 60 hp in the insurance _Volvo 850/S70 are also cars which are quite safe but for that the sprit consumption is much too high and I have to count around the 1600 € in the insurance _Heimatsauto: Peugeot 406 would have been a cheap solution but I would have been happy to see my driver with the insurance….which is absurdly high if I should expect further repairing _Now the Audi 80 comes in question:http://sam.mobile.com.com/recomm.com/recomm.it/recomm/regard/respubtpubt/pubt/publ.it/p.it/pl/ppl/pl/pll/pl/pl/pll/pl/pl/pllllllllllllll/plllllll/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pll/plllllllllllll/pl/pl/pl/pll/pl/pll/pl/pl/pllllllll/pl/pl/pl/pll/pllllll/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/pl/plll/pl/pl/plllllllll/pl/pl/pl
