some new things happened according my VS so:

i had some problems with audio system and my friend destroyed one of the holders for drinks in front of passanger, so i was searching and searching, but noone was selling that in alluminum decor, so i had to go to near city to my "organ donor" and buy some wooden decor from his initiale full option (even radar, except roof window)
and i said that when i have to put down door panels, i could make something with my terrible speakers, so i have found that tutorial here with cutting door board

so i read that and started to work

now the sound is great with almost new cabasse and holes in the door panels for making the volume for bass tones

im sorry for poor photo quality of the original decor, but i havent enough time for makeing good photos

so try to look for my new interior:

guys im sad of that car

ive got problems with high temperature of the engine again

last year i had to change head gasket, thermostat(dont know if the word in english is the same), water pumpe ... now sometimes (usually when the car is full of things or people, but not everytime) the temperature makes it rreally high, i know that the kilometres are terrible for this engine and gear box (286-287000kms), but dont know how its possible

i really would like new 3,0dci but i could not sell my old 2,2 with this problems

so thats the latest news according to my VS

Hi
I think that the thermostat is out of order again
Purge of air was made correctly?

S3m8a · Message par **S3m8a** » 24 août 2011 16:54

hi, i dont think so, im worry about the head gasket, even head, there is a lot of pressure in coolant

but less as the last time

what do you mean according to purge of air?

thank you

i have found one new thing, maybe you were right 800dr, yesterday i was the fastest driver on czech terrible highway

and i was trying to find the way how i could make the temperature higher:

so the same way from one exit to nnext exit 20km and back on higway too 3 times and i have found that when i turn off clima, i can drive 200km/h without any problems, when i have the clima on, the temperature makes higher in about 160-170km/h

(on czech highways is the max speed 130

so i hope that i have no new photo on police station from yesterady)

it could indicate some problems with clima cooler, am i right?

soooo some news:

we had detected the gas from exhaust in coolant, preassure is too high, so next weekend it will start again - head has to go down, i hope that is only gasket, not broken head

S3m8a · Message par **S3m8a** » 07 sept. 2011 13:50

so i have decided, that i will put on a "new head"...
i have found one from espace IV 2,2dci which died on rod bearings, so i have bought it (that head has cca 150000kms and it wasnt repaired, so its better anyway that mine with 290000kms) i hope that during Friday the head will be changed and i will have "the peace" for some time

my old head is probably broken - there is probably some micro hole and according to that the pressure is very high even after short trips

and the cost? head 400€, new oil ELF 60€, new coolant, filtres, some materials and work should be about 300€ i hope, so i hope that totall cost will be about 800€

800dr · Message par **800dr** » 07 sept. 2011 18:25

Good deal

S3m8a · Message par **S3m8a** » 07 sept. 2011 18:28

im glad because of the cost, but still its a lot of money if i think, that i wanted to sell (before the problems - i put the ad in june and the troubles started in july or something similar)

but the mechanician has great prizes

That'is because the computer can't check these lights: perhaps you must to wire something for that

S3m8a · Message par **S3m8a** » 01 nov. 2011 19:43

what kind of wiring do you mean?

it is connected to multiplex in the same way as on VISU schemes, and it says only those three lights .. (number plate, L/R break light)

anyway i can switch the light check off on diag, and the voice synthesis will work good (says which doors are open, etc)

and could you help me with the "official things" according to buying the car in france, please?

800dr · Message par **800dr** » 01 nov. 2011 20:05

The computer check the current (A) for each light. if you have a message, that is because the check is not good: light Out of order or bad wiring.
Other thing: are you sure that you using good lights? Is the power correct?
In france 5W for plates and 21W for stops .

I think you can use the French plates after buying car in france for the return in CZE. But your insurance must be according to the number of the old (french) plates

i will check on weekend i think,

i'm sure that i have a correct ligts in break light on the left side, but i will check plate light for oxidation of connectors (its near to the water)

than i will try to change some ligts if they will not be correct (5W/ 21W)

thank you for your idea

and the question according to insurance - i will have to pay the insurance in some kind of french insurance company and they will give me "green card" am i right? - so if i would like to buy the car in FR, i will have to come during the "work week" not on the weekend.

so that is really important information even that information with the plates, so thank you very much for your patience and your help

Yes you need a green card for drive in France.
Ask at your CZE insurance a cover for France, that all.
You must ask to the sailor the plate number et give this number to your insurance==> the plate number must to be written on the green card.

S3m8a · Message par **S3m8a** » 02 nov. 2011 09:23

so that is the same as in CZE.
(i think that the green card is ticket for insurance for whole EU, but not sure)

anyway, when i come home what will i do with the plates ( in CZE you have to take your old plates from other region to the office and they will change for new) but i think that in the case like this i just will come to the office for the first plates in CZE and i will not give them back the french one.

could i conntact you via PM if i will have some other questions, please? i want to buy my new VS in France, because here is not a lot of phII VS, and i saw only 5 or 6 on ads (but 4 were expression 2,2 or 2,0 or 2,0T and the rest is 3,5V6), and im in touch with McGyver who is selling his 3,0dCi and I like it really a lot, but im not sure how much he can speak in English

thank you very much for your help and your patience
