VW Touran rear wiper motor / мотор задна чистачка
| EN | BG |
| Have you wander why the heck your touran rear wiper doesn`t work or work strange. Here is the solution: Open your rear door trim(if it has one) and take the motor out. Then remove the screws keeping the cover and very gently separate it from the main body part. After that with some copper/plastic or metal pipe "kick" out the axle out. Why with pipe? Because in that model, and perhaps not only that, the end of that arm rotating axis is shaped as thin pipe. To provide cleaning liquid for the wiper. Id you hummer it straight you`ll brake it down. So, with hexagon bit from key set, or pipe you`ll hit on the cone part where the arm lock. After that clean every part, add new grease, and with emery paper remove the rust on that very spot visible on the picture. Assemble it in reverse way and you`ll get few years of good use. And watch out for the rubber seals. | Чудели ли сте се защо подяволите на вашият тоуран задната чистачка е бавна, запъва или гори бушоните. Ето и решението: Махате кората(ако има такава) на вратата след което сваляте моторчето и го разглабяте. Отделяте внимателно капачето(там са четките). От там тялото с оста почиствате. Самата ос за да извадите с пластмасова тръбичка(или с каквото намерите за добре) чукнете по конусната част където ляга рамото на чистачката а не директно по върха, тъй като там е тръбичка и ще я повредите. След което смазвате, както и внимателно с шткурка зачистване зоната с ръжда. Събирате по обратен ред и си спестявате закупуване на частта за няколко години напред. Внимавайте за гументи О-пръстенчета |

Saxo Central Locking Addons
EN Hi folks, friend of mine has Saxo with central locking but unfortunately it doesn`t have any “blinking” or indication of the lock-unlock state. So he ask me if we can do something about it, and if I can add some addition small fade in and out light in front. For the blinking I use direction lights, for the other option - low beam lamps and PWM.Represented here by that small bulbs, first in the video. (that is my solution, if you check on ebay there are quite many central locking units with lot functions. So there you can get 4 button ones, and to add lights on with timer on button)

Punto mk2 188 ignition key switch ON/OFF radio
| EN | BG |
| How to make the ignition key to switch off the power to the radio | Как да направим контактния ключ да гаси касетофона[/b] |
| My friend`s punto got after market stereo but problem arise. Even switching off from the ignition key it was still with power on. I check some electrical diagrams and found that below: | Приятел реши да смени касетофона на своето пунто 2 но се появи проблем - дори при изваден ключ, касетофона си остава включен. Порових малко за схема и намерих тази посочена по-долу: |
| As you can see the power supply and memory support supply are connected on same red-white wire - pin 4. The original unit has on/off control via blue-yellow cable pin 3. I cut the power cable on pin 7 and use micro relay(found in ebay) as switch, controlled by the pin 3 wire. | Както се вижда от схемата, паметта и захранването взимат 12 волта от един и същ червен-бял кабел на пин 4. При оригиналното радио, изключването от контактния ключ се извършва чрез син-жълт кабел на пин 3. Просто срязах кабела към пин 7, и ползвам микро реленце(от ибей) като ключ управлявано от пин 3 |

Citroen Zx Gearbox replace
BG
Kолата - ZX 1.4i `95 - заради свършило масло вътре в скоростната кутия станал мармалад
Оригинална кутия: номер 0281 01 330070A
От морга куия: номер 0281 01 330070B
Това са референтните номера на ситроен сървизната страница. Разликата бе, че оригиналната се хващаще с един болт повече, а новата остана един отвор повече извън кожука на мотора.
И двата зетковеца, стария и новия, бяха по 1.4 но този който бе донор на кутия бе пълна инжекция от 1997. Диференциалите като брой зъби - 14х60 - еднакви, зъбните предавки на датчика за движение бяха 1:1 едни и същи

Xantia II - audio update/s
EN
When I bought my Xantia few years ago, first thing I`ve done was to replace the head unit(old Sony) what previous owner used with Pioneer DEH-1500 and also the OEM speakers with Pioneer combined ones:
![]()
The unit choice was because the fact it has wire remote control. In other words - 3.5mm jack and easy way to connect your steering wheel sound control to it.

Replacing resistors on the OEM buttons and small mod on the tracks will give you chance to control your player. Even with that setup the car audio will be just fine.
Well, that was until this year. I decide to give little “boost” to the audio.

Xantia II - front fog lights
EN one nice day i found that my car`s front fog lights are in bad shape and wasn`t working so much as expected. After replacement come the moment of harness plug problem. So, here is my solution:
Xantia II - additional cabin lights
EN Some of the Xantia models has originally 4 cabin roof lights, but mine was without

Probably you see from the last picture that there was ready installed plug and harness. So, take a look carefully perhaps your have also. If ont, only then apply new cable line for it. Good luck!
Xantia II - Parking sensors
EN
Device is from ebay, and work quite nice. For the price tag I`m more than happy with it.
What to do:
- remove rear bumper: that will cost little effort by removing all screws under rear fenders what keep it(if remember right was 2), inside the trunk, behind box compartment(2×10mm, if remember) and all other visible in the trunk area.
- already removed, you can see ready prepared channels for cables. In my case there was hole under left stop/indicator unit, and from there it goes inside horizontal profile right behind the trunk end. Unfortunately that mean you need to put the unit on left side and pull one wire to right because there is the reverse lamp signal wire, or to put it right side and extend the sensor cables(equally). Or like me.. just to drill hole where you need it
So, here is some pictures from the main event:
