    Potentially dangerous construction mistake, rear lower wishbone 3200

    Hi all, Last week I was both unlucky and very, very lucky. After a drive, I was almost home, already in my neighbourhood, just 100 meters to go, last speed hump (which I take very slowly), suddenly a big bang. The car immediately shook and moved a bit to the side. I was driving 10-15 km an...

    Series 1.5 3200 has CEL, but codes can't be read

    Hi all, as I have a CEL, with a car that starts but does not want to run over 1500rpm (does not react to pedal) , I am very anxious to see what causes it.

    Beeping noise 3200

    Hi all, My 3200 had a problem with its heater when I bought it last year. It did not really react to the turning knobs on the panel. But as I did not use it much, it was a job for next summer. But then it stopped completely, which was caused by a burned fusepanel. I replaced the panel, and...
