  • Are helpless, blower air does not arrive – problem with Crafter and Sprinter

    We are on the road with our Sprinter 319 from 2014 with womo construction and have, like with our predecessor car, a 2006 crafter the same problem: After a operating time of 2-3 hours the blower noise changes and there is no air out of the openings. Blower runs audible and air cools (ventilation slots are ice cold) After a short turn off of the blower then it goes again for half an hour, after a longer break it goes again for 2-3 hours. 3 years ago with the crafter went to the workshop, wanted to calculate 2 full working days (extension cockpit kpl ), but could not tell us if you would find the error. Without climate with dog in Croatia is not possible, therefore we ask for a tip. That must be a well-known problem ?? Thank you dear greetings Jörg + Sandra

  • Don’t jump on after repair in the workshop

    Hello I brought my Sprinter into a workshop because he jumped badly. The workshop changed the light plugs better but it didn’t, then they disassembled the whole engine and now he starts up and goes out again after about a minute. The workshop is by the way already over a month and I can not use the car. Can I sue the workshop somehow or have the car repaired at the expense of the workshop where else ? many thanks

  • Mazda 6 Kombi next car – what do I have to consider on the used car market?

    Hello together, so – my Zafira just blesses the temporal, a “new” used one has to come. Basic requirements: – Diesel and the huge dog box must fit in the trunk – in price there is not much since I got stuck in my search at the Mazda 6 (about 2004-2006), there is already under 2500, – with under 200,000 km. So from the principle I find the great, cockpit fits, in this blue metallic (?) (please don’t hit, I really didn’t hit so a lot of idea of cars and had the last years always 15-20 years old Opel) and black I find it really great. So from the outside. Test drive so far did not go because of plaster arm. Of the ads I have seen so far, I would now have the feeling that I would get the same money, which I would have to lay for a 01/02 Zafira with green badge, a more valuable car. What I also found “out” is that the Mazda 6 has probably quite a topic with rust. At the doors, below n on the sides and underbody (?). Can this be done yourself, if a used rust has points, and if so how? Spatula mass and varnish? And if so, to what degree rust? Then I have encountered relatively often advertisements with “motor damage” and “control chain torn”. Does this really happen so often or can one somehow avoid that? Is there anything to consider? So if I look at a used one, what do I have to pay attention to? What is important? Would make sense, w or what do I notice during a test drive that the control chain is already not good? And what do I notice that xyz is wrong and what would be “normal” for this car? He will certainly drive differently than a 17-year-old Opel Zafira. I would be happy if you could give me some tips. Thanks already!

  • Gasoline robust and reliable: Mazda6 or Opel Insignia

    Hi @, I started to look for myself, but I quickly realized that this is very tough, because I really have 0 experience with petrol and the brands mentioned in the title (had so far only VW diesel, manual gearboxes). So far I have only driven motorway so about 20-30 tkm p.a., but soon so many things change for me and I will drive much less (not every day and then rather city or sometimes travel somewhere), therefore and because of diesel scandal and possible consequences I would go to Be nziner change. I am a cozy driver, was so far with about 140 hp absolutely satisfied, but what is absolutely important to me is that the cars are robust and reliable and have high comfort. In general I also see that I do not buy models that still have childhood diseases, so if it goes at least 2 – 4 years after model introduction etc. I would buy a car Built. approx. 2014, automatic. What would you say Insignia or Mazda6 would be less susceptible to general Probl eme, rust, automatic transmission problems, childhood diseases or other problems? What about driving comfort etc? If one or the other brand, which motorization and what would be the advantages? I will probably have to make the same request in the Insignia forum.

  • Problem with door locking, interior lighting, turn signal

    Hello! I have a Mazda 6 Kombi Bj 2006, which unfortunately had to winter outdoors. Yesterday evening the alarm system (Hupe) went off without any outside action. The battery was quite at the end and the symbol for “open door” lit. Car could be started, and the battery seems to be OK again, but the turn signal no longer works, and all doors except the driver’s door are locked. In addition, the remote control no longer works, and the interior lighting goes n If you open the driver’s door, the other doors, including the tailgate, can’t be opened from the outside or from the inside. Does anyone have any idea where the fault might be? The car is now in the garage. Thank you in advance! Anna

  • Megane 2 1.6 16V /Sprite consumption

  • Carav 11-106 Radio blind

    Good evening. I bought a radio blind from Carav for my Mazda 6 (BJ. 2004). Today I installed the aperture and with the plugs everything was clear, except for one. I have it left because it fits only to the aperture and nowhere on the Mazda. Now the buttons of the aperture do not work and also the on-board computer does not want any more. Does any of you have experience with the aperture and can send me a manual for the plugs? With the dealer I have telephoned but d he could not help me, because he has no idea and he allegedly does not have a guide himself. Thank you for the help in advance.

  • Extend or disconnect immobilizer ?

    Hello together … I hope that one of you can help me. And I have a later built-in immobilizer from Bosch in my Cali inside. Now I lit up the battery lamp once during the ride and it went out to me. Then I wanted to start again, but there was no ignition on the station wagon. But the starter didn’t work. After about 5 minutes waiting everything went great again. Now I recently put in a new Lima and battery, because the Lima only 11Volt load 3 weeks ago the same thing happened to me again. I wanted to go to work in the morning and after it was a bit cold I turned on the seat heating. There also the battery lamp lit immediately and it went out again to me. The same again, no ignition on the station wagon, but the starter goes… Now I want to ask if someone can tell me how to disconnect the immobilizer or what kind of cables I have to cut. . Would be very happy if someone could help me!!! Thanks already in advance…
