  • Tyres / rims for BMW F20 LCi 120i

    Hello together, in the coming weeks I would like to get a new vehicle. So far I was 100% sure that it will be the F20 LCi 120i. (I already drove as a rental car and was very satisfied) Now I checked out out of curiosity what a Golf VII GTI would cost and was surprised that there are a lot of offers up to 21.000€. In the comprehensive the golf would be even 300 € cheaper (SF3) My driving profile: working distance 19 km country road (simple) Hard to any city rides/short Go home 5 times a year, 350km each (simple) Presumably it’s easiest to drive the Golf Mal sample to have a direct comparison. Nevertheless, I would like to have your opinion on it. I don’t have a precise plan, but I certainly want to drive the car for at least 3 years. What about the durability of the engines? The consumption seems to be relatively similar and therefore to be negligible. Is the golf more expensive with the workshop costs? I look forward to your answers!

  • Used rims bought, and cleaned

    Hey, I greet all of you. Just wanted to tell you something. We needed another set of rims for our thickness, as the current ones are equipped with WR. After some searching (also consider whether it should become new rims) we decided for used ones, also 18 inches with 245 tyres. Then found in our radius also some, 5 pcs. a brand new (replacement wheel) looked at, price negotiated, and taken with. Damages are small, but completely ok. d was so well, today I made it for cleaning. What should I say, from minute to minute I had to grin more. Is already great, used for ́n narrow € bought, 2-3 hours cleaned, and then such a result. I am fully satisfied. (by the way, the SRs on it are from 2018, approx. 7mm profile) Greetings Ebby

  • Screw in the tire still repairable?

    Hello, on today’s ride the RKS is registered via control display. My rear right tyre had instead of 2.1 only 1.5 bar. Fortunately, I could fill up the air at a gas station about 10 minutes later. At the later tyre inspection in the garage I could then find a screw which has drilled into the tread. What do the experts say, is the tyre still repairable or is the screw too far on the outer flank? The air loss is rather creeping about 0, 1 bar per day. In total, the tyre has now been moved to the city with maybe 10 KM with 1.5 instead of 2.1 bar. The tyre is about 4 years old (Winter tire Dunlop Winter Sport 5 205/60 R16 H) and only nearly 10,000 KM run, repair would probably still make sense economically.

  • Different model generations on one axis

    Hello, had an accident with our leasing car, which was paid by the opposing insurance. A tire had to be replaced (1 year old). On the vehicle are privately procured Michelin Crossclimate mounted, the new replaced tire is the new model generation Michelin Crossclimate 2. According to Michelin the rubber compound and the profile was changed. Even if it is allowed by law, a mixed tire is not recommended according to ADAC and the old Crossclimat e is also available in principle. Furthermore, I would like to sell the tyres after the 2 year leasing and there are 4 identical tyres certainly better. Before I turn to the car dealership, does someone have experience whether one is entitled to an identical tyre replacement or alternatively two new tyres for an identical axle?

  • Help ! ABS and EBD error message without reason

    Hello dear Doblo / Fiatkenner with my first post here, I’ll get in touch with you with a call for help. Maybe someone can start something with my error description and help with it. I start from the beginning and try to be brief. Our Doblo is a 2008er year of construction, version Malibu 1.3 Multijet 86ps (or so). Starting a year ago about my wife complained often that he doesn’t make a muks when starting, especially if it rained. about April Finally one morning (it was our wedding day and we wanted to go for breakfast) the on-board computer flickered, became completely dark, went after several key turning again and then broke “motor control unit defective, immobilizer defective, later still ABS came defective and EBD defective. After several times fuxe I changed the starter. Since then it always starts well. But the ABS and EBD defective Feh When reading out with Fiat, nothing concrete was found and so the mechanic thought it could be the battery.. so one battery from the workshop in and the other charged.. Error reset.. But error message remained in the on-board computer.. Then he said that it could be a mass problem.. so let search (170 euros) not found anything. Then he said that it might be the instrument cluster defective (500 euros).. I then got a used one at Ebay with the same data and With diagnostic software there was then an error on the right front wheel sensor.. so sensor changed. Now the Doblo is error-free according to the diagnostic software. Unfortunately I still have the 2 error messages in the display. If I start the ignition, the symbol for ABS and hand brake remains illuminated and stands in the display: ABS defective EBD defective motor off. The message ABS defective EBD remains defective even during the whole ride. Battery voltage itself seems OK (12,8V in standstill) and with running engine 14,1V. Now I have to go to Tüv in January and don’t know what else I could do. Don’t have any concerns about getting a TÜV. Although according to the diagnostic device everything is OK. Please !!! Who knows this error and found out what was the fault ? lg. Gerhard

  • Fiat doblo 1.9 Suction diesel doesn’t start anymore

    Hello to all Have a 01ér fiat doblo with 1,9 l. suction diesel and 110tkm. The vehicle started to go out suddenly about 1 month ago during the ride, after which you could start it immediately again. Even after turning off the time did not jump immediately. This however became worse and worse. So bad that I can hardly get started now. According to the diagnostic device of the fiat it is supposed to be the diesel pump, which is not cheap now. I wanted now before I started a new diesel pump build here to ask if maybe jm had the same problem once and what was possibly the error for it, because I read here in the internet similar problems that were not fixed after a new pump. Ps: during the ride also the red motor control light lit. I am grateful for every advice

  • Ducato 120, 160, error P0638 throttle valve

    Hello, you need your help with my Fiat Duc Womos. BBj.08/2008 with Multijet 160 3.0L engine 115KW. It lights up the jam lamp for engine and the error code P0638 throttle flap is in the memory. After deletion and twice starting the error comes again. Can you actually start from a defective DK and an exchange removes the error or there are other possibilities. The friendly wants in exchange 419 Euronen for the DK. In the net offer dealer a flap with un I had already removed and cleaned the flap, it is also easy to run. What would you advise me to do? Oh, I almost forgot to learn the new flap when swapping or does it work like that? I would be very grateful for quick feedback. In the appendix a picture of the type plate of the built-in DK.

  • Amplifier recommendation for double subwoofers

    Hello dear Talk company I have a problem with my system And I have a double subwoofer with 1600watt The power amplifier that was there with 2400 watts brings nothing at all. I have been attracted by the good comments. Unfortunately an error.http://www.amazon.de/…/ref=pd_sim_sbs_23_1?… I still have a 1000 watt four channel amplifier from Toxic. With this I get some sound out but when the music volume is 0 one hears clearly interferences from the subwoofe r come, something like a heartbeat pulse in the form of bass. When you flip the x over, Full, lpf, Bass 0-18 DB switch comes a whole bass inferno (sounds really horrible) no matter whether music volume is on or off. From my buddy the cheap 500 watt 2 channel power amplifier from Magnat tried out and no noise, interference or anything else. But at volume 15 the bassboxx goes off, I think because of lack of power of the amplifier. Now my question is what I best for a ve 1. A 1600 Watt 1 channel amplifier? 2. Or does it not matter if there are 4 channels? Because you can also get bridges 3. Is this right if I would make the plus cables on ch 1 and the minus cables on ch 4 from both boxes? I just want to run the subwoofer over the power amplifier. I hope you can help me
