  • Renault Megane 2.0l, year 1996, vibration front between 80km/h and 110km/h

    Hello world… I have a little problem… Our Renault Megane 1, 2,0l, Bj 1996, vibrates for some time while accelerating… So under full load… as soon as you walk off the gas or disconnect, everything is normal… The problem occurs only between 80 – 110 km/h and only in 4th and 5th gear… From the feeling it is in the front of the vehicle… What we have changed in the meantime are the track rod heads… also the drive shafts were re-established… the right drive shaft even for the 3rd time, because of poor quality… We have balanced the tires, adjusted the track and checked everything on the steering and wheels… nothing shakes or cracks… everything tight and ok… Also the engine suspensions are ok… The rear axle has also been changed after our torsional rod springs were broken… we thought it might also get away… unfortunately not… Parallel to that, the rear shock absorbers were also changed… Did anyone have any idea what that was Couldn’t you hear anything in that direction?… Best regards… Joey…

  • Search: 5-trg Diesel-Limo with large flap, converter and and…

    Hello to the forum, it could be that I “must” leave my station wagon in the fall and I should then know what I want for a car. Basically I have the following need and wish with weighting: +++ Diesel Euro 6 (no discussion please, whether diesel sucks or anything else) +++ Automatic converter or “unobtrusive” double clutch gearbox, but prefers converter – is very preferred +++ no station wagon anymore, prefers 5-door coupe or limo with large trunk flap, worst fal ls long lid, easily accessible. +++ Long-range vehicle with very good seats and adaptive suspension, air suspension or something like this +++ multi-adjustable seats, AGR seats, or equivalent ++ standing heater or at least the possibility of retrofitting ++ sliding roof + first-hand, max dealer plus 1 holder + ACC or at least normal cruise control, easy to operate, is constantly used + Xenon or LED + Navi, DAB, seat heating, rain sensor I already have one or other mod The search doesn’t start before the end of September. But I’d be happy to take specific recommendations / hints about motor-gear combination, which should be searched or avoided, or hints about non-functioning ACC (for example). Anyone who knows me and reads my postings knows about my well-founded, because experienced “Abnei Budget: up to 30000,- / with absolute hit, also 35000,- then the car would have to fit without compromise.

  • Skipping the control chain, resetting tax times, now it’s starting badly.

    Good morning Kawasaki friends, I made a big mistake. Had the control chain tensioner out (it is about a single cylinder with 650 cc KLX 650 R) to see how far it has moved out. He was not far out, I thought to myself with the hand quite carefully I press a short way on the kick starter around the chain easy to forward when I put the chain tensioner back in. That was a big mistake!!! I know now ! The chain has skipped! I have a workshop ha ndbuch got (unfortunately only in English) and dismantled everything and opened the valve cover. Never done such a job before. The first time quasi. The steering times did not fit at the front and back any more. I unscrewed the camshafts and put the markings EX and IN on escape with the cylinder head (all with built-in chain) It fits everything ! T marking at the bottom of the crankshaft as well as EX and IN marking. Everything is assembled again! First test vehicle runs but jump t really bad. Somehow she felt more compression than before when I kick the kicker. And I have to step on it endlessly long until you start. Before 2-3 times kicking she was there. If she is running she also has great performance! Maybe someone can tell me here why she is starting so bad now? Thanks in advance for your answers Greeting Alex

  • Problems with C4 Grand Picasso Bj 2017 / 7

    Hello people, here would like to describe my first experiences with my C4 (17000 km, first registration 7 / 2917) bought a month ago. The lane assistant doesn’t make a sound, the automatic driving light doesn’t work, one of the rear seats jumps up by itself, start / stop doesn’t seem to work (all consumers are turned off), of course all these aids are activated. Is that normal!? I am Opel (similar functions), and Ford (less) but what was there I am an Austrian, and I bought the car from a German dealer and now have the car in operation for a week. (The car came from a car rental company) Lg Willi

  • Please help me

    Hello @all If it also seems that I fish in foreign waters – ne ne, has its correctness. Have now for over 2 hours 15 pages and infinitely many threads worked through – unsuccessfully. Hope now for your fast and competent help. Will see me on Saturday a Vento. The following data are known to me (by the seller informed): * red * ca. 90Tkm * 75 HP * EZ 1/94 * TÜV/AU new * ABS, ZV, eSD, power steering, accident-free, 2x airbag * converted to D3 * checkbook gt, inspection new, (brakes, etc.) * 8 times matured * CD radio (no idea which) * condition should be 1A * no climate Unfortunately, I forgot what type of equipment it has. – What should one pay for a Vento with these data? (I assume that everything is true – made a serious impression on the phone) – On which (hidden) defects should I pay special attention? – Can you give me tips that can help me with the assessment of the car? Am for every one e information grateful, since I have so far from Vento unfortunately zero clue. Thank you and greeting Harald

  • Accident in Poland – Opponent of the Lithuanian truck driver…

    Hello, my uncle had an accident about 2 weeks ago. He was on his way home, drove about 50-60km/h in a closed village, once he had a Lithuanian truck in the rear. The driver of the truck fell asleep and drove on my uncle apparently unbraked… Of course the Polish police were informed, logs were written and later it turned out that the driver had an additional 2 promille alcohol in his blood. Now I have the data of the V the Lithuanian driver (branch office in Hamburg) and got in touch with them. The insurance I want to go to a car dealership of my trust I have a cost analysis done there without an expert. The damage does not look dramatic from a distance but it seems to me as if the whole rear was pulled down. Also the gap between fenders back and doors back do not match. I have the right to an expert or is Is that different in the accident with a foreign citizen?! How should I proceed?! Could an appointment in the workshop with an expert make tomorrow…!? Greetings

  • 20-30t €, desire for fun with performance and absolutely helpless? Convertible or Closed?

    Hello you car fanatics! As one of those who are often on the road here myself I am absolutely at a loss at the moment. The desired car should: make fun! Cross- and longitudinally dynamic be solid, 1-2 a year in the workshop must be enough. Payable insurance (so max. 2t € per year) max. 12-13litres on 100km) 200-400hp, that’s all it has to be. All year round Suitable for use Current situation: Currently I own an E55 AMG W210 in good condition and a Lotus Elise S2 Rover 122hp. Both vehicles which are really good in their segment, only the compromise is not possible. In the city the big Benz is annoying, the Elise is simply mega uncomfortable and thanks to the GFK body also reluctantly just parked somewhere. In addition, there is the E36 320i as a winter car, which is no longer worth processing and probably still drives for 2-5 years until the TÜV or lack of pleasure at the car divides us. The motorcycle, a Suzuki SV650SA stands more than that you drive thanks to the Elise unise un d I would also like to move more often. Everything together just does work and I need and don’t want 4 vehicles anymore. Conclusion: I want to be a day-to-day full-year fun car again! ALSO WHAT TO BUY TO ME? I am between BMW 130i, M135i, Civic TypeR, 308 GTI and Z4 3.0si or SLK 55 AMG and Mazda MX-5 torn back and forth. Alternatively, there is the really cool/future-proof Lexus IS300h who drives really nice and hardly needs more than 6 liters. Answers!

  • Check coolant level – Repeating error message

    Hello, every few weeks or about 1500km the above message in the driver’s display comes. I could then pour a little bit (estimate such a coke can), then the message disappears again. But I don’t discover a leak in the cooling system anywhere. I don’t have any oil increase and he doesn’t smoke white at the start. Does that happen more often, or is the 270er known for it? Should I just ignore or what is to be done? Groetjes Carsten

  • Autumn mood / Indian Summer

    The dark and cold season is getting closer and closer, brrrrrrrrrrr, maybe it helps a little bit, if here a picture collection is created with autumnal impressions. One should already be able to recognize the autumn in the pictures. Who has beautiful pictures of his bike and the Indian Summer? I start. 0016

  • Report in the current ADAC

    I have just read the report about the new mondeo. just the conclusion: “No doubt: the new Mondeo is the best car that Ford has developed in the last 10 years. With its agile driving behaviour, excellent steering, unrivalled space and attractive prices, it is a recommended alternative to the established (and more expensive) competition.” There are also MINUS reviews in the report, such as very bad sight to the rear, push buttons hard to read, for the time being no automatic, but 2.0 TDCi for 26900 euronen?? doesn’t sound bad. wait and see what kind of child disease he has
