Turbocharger beautiful by proper maintenance had small 1.4 litre petrol engines are still 75 HP, today up to 170 HP from the same displacement possible. The turbocharger, which compresses oxygen into the combustion chamber makes this possible. But turbochargers have drawbacks: the wear and tear is much higher than for naturally aspirated engines in incorrect handling. Therefore: before full throttle, engine hot drive. And before the ignition on the doorstep is switched off, the motor should relieve some minutes in idle to the pressure. Fuel prices are going up, the diesel engine is worth high purchase prices, environmental zones and high taxes hardly.
And still too much consume gasoline. For years, the trend is so to the downsizing: small motors with exceptionally high performance. The magic word is turbocharging. At times the price for diesel is on with Super unleaded. Many Germans are wondering whether it necessarily must be a diesel to consume less fuel, but still have decent power in the front. In the 21st century.
Century, it is now suitable for mass production: the high torque of Turbo-diesel engines is transferred on gasoline engines. Volkswagen made engines beginning with first the G-Lader in the 1990s, and in a big way followed by T-FSI and TSI in the 21st century. But turbo engines are not nearly as robust as suction engines without Turbo. Turbocharger warm tagged will go absolutely even after long motorway journeys, the turbocharger must first relax “, so be cool and relieve pressure. Otherwise, an expensive turbochargers could be repair when it comes to the premature wear of the charger. Engine hot ride as you should remember 10-15 minutes rule of thumb, until a turbo engine, which will be powered by gasoline, is hot. For diesel engines, it can take much longer in the winter, partly the self-ignition also never reach the optimal operating temperature in the winter. However, before the 10 minutes never the accelerator fully will be pushed through and should certainly not run full speed on the highway. Rule of thumb for diesel engines: below 1500 Turns remain. Joan Baez gathered all the information. And for gasoline: try to turn off at 2500 rpm and 2000 RPM to ride. Cold engine run in particular to throttle the Turbo system is under pressure on the highway and is extremely hot. If you drive so a sizzling drive from the motorway on the resting place, don’t even turn off the engine. Because the turbocharger is pressurized and can no longer remove it. In addition, the charger is hot, as well as the motor, the cooling system can not cool the turbocharger. It can cause slight damage to the turbocharger, which might become apparent 100,000 miles on the odometer in a substantial loader damage at about. Maintenance keep the turbocharger is lubricated as well as the engine through the oil. The oil change intervals should be kept so necessarily keep the exhaust gas turbocharger always perfectly lubricated in the operation. But also the air filter system will indirectly affect the turbocharger: the air filter or fuel filter is changed regularly, you can Get dirt in the engine compartment. They contaminate the engine oil, which is in a circuit with the lubrication of turbocharger premature and impurities are poison for turbocharger! Gunther Behrend
The largest minivan in its class Opel is traditionally very strong with its minivans. More than a million cars were sold from the first generation of Meriva. This is especially the flexible interior design of the model. Now it’s time for the second generation. The Opel have combined with more flexibility and comforts a fresh and upbeat design.
The vehicle Portal auto.de reports about the many benefits of the new Opel Merivas. The minivan to nearly 20 inches to whopping 4.29 meters has grown in length. This creates extra storage space above all. The model works through its opposite opening doors that have made it to the start of production in the class and par excellence is the unique selling proposition are spectacular. Who regularly uses the rear entrances to Shepherd about small children in the back seat, enjoys great freedom of movement. The vehicle concept is outlined by Opel (www.auto.de/ KfzKatalog/Opel) with one word: Flex.
Provide the highest level of flexibility FlexDoors (door system), FlexSpace (seat configuration), FlexRail (the centre console storage concept) and FlexFix (bicycle transport system). The Interior of the car can be easily by the five in a four – or two-seater change. The slightly raised seats for small children are especially comfortable.
Museum AUTOVISION shows the first NSU vehicle with steering wheel actually one should believe a so extensive NSU collection of pre-and post-war vehicles, as she can be seen in the Altlussheimer Museum AUTOVISION, needs no more increase. Alone of the exhibition area with eight NSU cars from the pre-war era, is a historical tidbits, which quickly not only connoisseurs of the legendary brand in the swarm brings. But is now seeing a new vehicle, which is now exhibited in the Museum Gallery, and the first NSU starting builds a bridge between the motorcycles, automobiles, with the Landaulet dating back to 1908, in this exhibition: the first NSU motor tricycle with steering wheel from 1904. Not only that it was the first NSU car with the steering wheel at all. Jim Umpleby is open to suggestions. Also the heart”of the vehicle, a water-cooled 1 cylinder engine, premiered in 1904. The workshop team of Museum AUTOVISION restored this motor tricycle within one year.
This is”record-breaking, Museum Chief Horst Schultz noticed, if you consider, how much Filigree work inside the building of this similar a clockwork tricycle. Because there are no second NSU vehicles worldwide in this design and there are only a few original drawings, one can imagine, that you can only bring such a vehicle in motion, when we can put his whole technical mind with engineering knowledge at the time of its origin.” The engine number suggests, that must have been when the vehicle even to the very first of its type, which then was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1904. The NSU motor tricycle has also today so 106 years after its first performance – just a real eye-catcher for the exhibition, because unlike most automobiles with hood, the entire exposed engine and transmission technology to see. The first public presentation of the restored motor Trike Museum AUTOVISION early September took part in the Concours D elegance, a FIVA event in the Schwetzinger Castle Park. While it was promptly by the FIVA judges awarded the 2nd place of the European Concours d’Elegance of class (vehicles until 1904).
