  • Moisture in the Smart City Coupe

    Hello! I hope you can help me! I’ve been driving a Smart City Coupe for six months and have been having a problem finding moisture in both footrooms for several weeks. On both sides the carpet underside is dripping wet! Have dried the carpet several times and after a ride in the rain it is wet again. What can this be? My car dealer has already renewed both door rubbers, resealed both rear window windows and examined the entire car without Erfo lg! Maybe you can give me some useful tips. Thank you!!!

  • Charging air cooler and vential gate

    Hello, introduce myself, am from France and new on this forum I own a Fortwo CDI built in 2002. For a week the fan of the Intercooler has been airing already at the start. Can I continue so without damage ? If no, where can the error come from ? MFG popol57

  • How much can this smart cost?

    Hello, I have been offered a Smart and wanted to ask you as a smart driver about the price. 1 hand accident-free checkbook maintained Air conditioning Tiptronic ( semi-automatic ) Central locking with remote control Pure Cdi Driving gear is in a good condition KM: 95000 Price: 4000 is this offer ok? Or should I rather put on 1000€ and get one with less km. After a test drive with a CDI from the Smart Center I was very averse because the engine was even and the car switched only at half-gas. Then I drove this and he drove much better and quickly reached the 100km/h. The car is thought to be the second car, only for city and completion drives or to eat KM. Thanks in advance.

  • Warning for tiresLeader (de/at) !!!

  • Information about buying a used quad

    Hello experts, here is an absolute quad newcomer asking for your experiences. I’m thinking about buying a quad and I’ve got a few thoughts on the conditions. Here are my wishes: – No China-buller (I’ve already read a lot about this and I don’t want to buy 2x.) – Should real 100km/h run (not just after my own tacho) (I don’t want to be able to overtake trucks, but I don’t like to have them sitting too tight in the neck) – Road registration for 2 people (2 people + 1 bag = approx. 200 kg payload, my girlfriend is slim, but I don’t) – Used in good condition other optional features: – Train rail registration (What can a part of it pull and what is realistic?) – All-wheel (What is the difference in behavior, maybe they are safer on the road?) I don’t have plans to go with the device into heavy terrain or even jump. The normal use will be on the road, possibly a dirt road here and there. Since I don’t have a car more I could also imagine an occasional winter use (of course with appropriate clothing). Is that realistic or would it be like a suicide attempt? Where I live is almost never snow. Who can call me corresponding companions with (if possible) the following information: – price I should invest to get quality and nothing too sucked out – consumption/100km – annual maintenance costs at approx. 3000 km/year (maintenance etc.) – insurance and taxes (does a season mark make a big difference?) – What are the weaknesses that need to be taken into account when buying a used quad? – Realistic mileage to Exodus. Otherwise, a few questions: – How much does a quad suffer when it is outside? (Unfortunately, I don’t own a garage.) – I live in the Cologne area. Who can call me trusted dealers? – What else is there to consider or consider? I know that I ask many questions here and hope that danoc h that a few experts take the time to answer a few of them. All the comments on points that I have forgotten, but which might be important in making a purchase decision are welcome. Thank you Georg

  • Parking on unmarked private parking

    Hello, I would like to ask a question about this: Here in the area are some parking spaces directly on the street in front of the curb, but also parking spaces on the other side of the pavement. However, these parking spaces are not marked, that this is a private property or a private parking place. The plot beyond the curb rather evokes the appearance of a public parking place at first glance. I accept this, because the new tenant has turned me on rather obliquely and rudely, but I would still be interested in the exact legal situation. I’m curious to see how you can see it… As I said, I accept this very well, but I should also find this marked accordingly. It also does not help if I do not have any other land. Parke and 5 minutes later the next one is again unknowing on this private property.

  • Help I would like a quad or ATV have no idea

  • Who is liable for damage caused by animals

    Hello, this morning there were countless cat paws on my car. Must have been tapped somewhere through the dirt before. Is the owner of the cat liable for possible scratches in the paint. For cats there is no insurance obligation as for dogs.

  • Use unapproved LED daytime running light bulbs

    Hi: the TFL at the Seat Leon 1P is yellowish, I prefer white LED lights, like these here:http://www.ebay.de/…/190691414653?… Unfortunately, I think it’s cool. Now the only problem, “These bulbs are not allowed in the outside area of the StVZO!”. A work colleague told me that he does it anyway with his GTI. The TÜV would not look at it anyway and if so, the race management would only issue a report of defects. What’s that about it? Erlis Is that the type-approval?

  • And he actually drives 30 – fight between drivers

    Weser-Kurier, 01.08.04 Curious dispute in a calmed zone According to the police in Bochum, a car driver actually kept pace 30 in a traffic-settled zone, so angry that he got involved in a fight. The unusual dispute arose. The 47-year-old driver of a saddle train from Gelsenkirchen forced a properly driving 24-year-old Bochumer to drive up at a traffic light. The fight escalated, the truck driver beat the Bochumer’s nose bloody, he kicked a bump in the door of the truck. After that, the fight started properly, as the police reported. The result are mutual messages for injury and damage to property. When the police separated the fighting cocks, the truck driver indicated that he felt provoked, because the driver “in the 30 km zone nevertheless didsächl Not only could this statement be taken into account when asked about the “suitability” of the professional driver. I can’t think of anything! About 4 weeks ago I was driving behind a retired couple in a 30’s zone. At the end of the road there was the digital display: “They are driving xx km.” And there was 22! I was already wondering if that had to be. The truck driver would have done something else. I’d rather not think about it. Bye Tex
