  • ABE, individual reports etc. and what about replacement parts???

    Hi, yesterday I couldn’t fall asleep and I asked myself the following question. why do I have to have an abe if I have to get a exhaust system, or have an opinion so that I have to enter it? I buy another end muffler as replacement part (not oroginal) because my old one is broken, I don’t need an opinion or an abe. WHY? it’s not an original part. same is it with brake blocks. no matter if ebay or ate carpenter etc. there is no good for me to do it. but there are no original parts. normally the tüv would have to ask for an opinion or something like that. or an example: my grill at the front of the passat is broken. ok, off to ebay and a new fetch looks the same, built in and now the tüv-man wants an abe or an opinion. why didn’t he demand this with the new end scarf damper, which looks also original but it’s not (he should have noticed it since this was new) I hope you understand t what I mean. in some things I need a abe or a gutachen with others again not. how is this regulated?????

  • Search Power Amplifier(s) for Focal 165 K2P Fully Active

    As is already stated in the topic, I have a Focal 165 K2P here, which is to be operated fully active, the whole is separated via the HU. I am either looking for a four-channel level, which operates both TMT and HT, or two two-channel levels, one for TMT and one for HT. Since fully active via HU, the end tube(s) do not need a firlefance, such as crossovers, filters, bass boost or such a garbage. I prefer end stages, which come without everything, and just to their task (the strengthening of the In terms of performance, it doesn’t have to be exaggerated, I’m not a level listener, but you should be able to make a bit louder, without the end stages going down. Of course, it is important that the final stage(s) are at least equal to the Focal system. Budget approx. 400€ for used goods

  • Despite reports rims run shit?!

    Hi! I bought a Daihatsu YRV in winter accordingly also on winter tires test. Now I have mounted the summer aluminums and only problems at 80Km/h you can notice light vibrations in the car and the faster you drive the worse it gets and the steering wheel is wobbly. With the steel rims 185er R14 no problems at all. The aluminums are 195er 45 R15 reports available incl. registration of the distance discs of each 15mm. I have the 4 new tires and the aluminums are also But the problem remains completely fine. How can it be that you can get an expert report for such a thing if rims don’t run properly on a car. Someone might be a solution to my problem?

  • Fixing tires?

    Hello, I parked at a construction site last night, then drove to work this morning and parked the car in the company parking lot. Then wanted to drive back home this afternoon, but was not since I had to change the left rear wheel first. There had been a splint-like pen drilled into my tire and flattened it. Here now my question: Can you fix a tire in size 205/55 R16 91V or do I have to replace it? Did the tires before two weeks ago new bought and not even 1000KM with completed. Thanks already in advance to all the answers.

  • Wider tyres = vehicle defects ?

    Hello, I have heard from my specialist workshop that wider tyres would have been the cause of a defect of the steering gear (reversible lever and steering gear arm). As standard my car (Mitsubishi Pajero Sport) has 245/70 tyres. In summer I drive 255/55. Driving performance: 35,000 km. The repair cost roundabout 230 EUR. No warranty, no culant. Would have liked to have heard a few experiences. Is that correct and must be reckoned with? At what intervals should one use it Do you have comparable experiences? What else do you have to reckon with? LuBerti

  • Blitzer stood on private property

    Hello all, I just happened the following. This morning I flew a little deep and was flashed. On the situation: It is a very wide well developed road with very little traffic. So it is actually no one there who could be endangered. The road is inside, allowed are 50Km/h. The speed camera stood about 300m from the exit sign. Now to the actual question: It was flashed out of the car. From the space conditions it would be This was not the case, however. He was standing on the left side of the road in a private way. Now, for me, the question arises whether this is permissible, that they flash from a private property. Basically, it is the case that authorities have no authority on private property. If necessary, would a permit be required by the property owner? Does anyone have experience with similar facts? Many thanks for Your clues.

  • Laser meter-how safe???

    Hello to all motorists… …was last month “lasered”…allowed 50km/h, recorded minus tolerance 81km/h ->100€, 3 points and 1 month driving ban (the letter came today).Are the laser devices safe?Have heard a lot now, e.g. that they have to be recalibrated after each use and that they are not so accurate.Is that true?In addition, it was the case that someone was driving in front of me, who was also quite fast on the road.In addition, it was a two-lane road…I was on the left and on the left and on the left. the right lane wasn’t a bit busy either. I can’t confirm how fast I was, because I was also busy with overtaking and threading again, because the road became one lane (faster than 50 I think I was!?) Police had pulled me out immediately and kept running the usual program.Didn’t give any details. Does it make any difference or at least avoid the one-month driving ban. What do you think and what experiences have you already had? Greetings M.
