Types of Car Insurance

Posted by admin under Car Insurance

Every UK motorist is required to have some kind of car insurance when they buy and drive a car. Even when the car is not being used, the law requires that the car be insured. Therefore it is important to know what kinds of insurance are most appropriate for you.

Firstly, you can choose from three different types of insurance: third party, third party fire and theft, and comprehensive cover.

The most basic insurance that is available to you is the third party only insurance. This insurance covers the damage of other cars (third parties) in the event of an accident that is your fault. They will, however, not cover your own damage. This cover is usually more appropriate for cars that are not on the road and very old vehicles with low market values. Generally this type of insurance is also considered the cheapest type of insurance. However it is always wise to compare the premium of the policy with that of one of the other types of cover.

The next level of insurance is third party fire and theft. This policy will cover the damage of third parties in the event of an accident where you are at fault. It will also cover you in the event that your car is damaged in a fire or stolen. These policies are generally a little more expensive than the Third Party only policies, but well worth it for older model cars.

Your third option is usually the most expensive option. Comprehensive cover is about cover for your damage, as well as the damage of the third party – no matter who is at fault. The cover also offers several optional extras that could make your life easier in the case of an accident or when your car has been stolen. These options could be anything from courtesy car hire, extra stereo insurance, car content cover, handbag cover etc. The more optional extras that you choose, the higher your premium will be.

Whether you drive an older model car or a brand new car, the likelihood of an accident is quite high. With so many vehicles on the road there is always a good chance of a mishap occurring. You need to be protected from the cost that may occur due to an accident or even the theft of your car and that is where your insurance comes in.

Porsche checking fluids

Posted by admin under New Porsche News

In order to avoid big, expensive problems, you should check
under the hood of your Porsche on a regular basis. By following
these simple monthly checks you will find and solve these potential
problems.

First of all, you should check the oil, but only when the engine is warm.
Thats because it expands when it’s hot and contracts when it’s cold;
different temperatures will give you different readings. And since youre
already checking the fluids you should also check the
brake fluid. It’s easy to do and only takes a minute.

Radiator fluid, or coolant, is the most important part of your Porsche’s
cooling system, which protects your engine from overheating. Low
coolant can lead to a breakdown and expensive repairs. Before
checking the power steering fluid (which is also easy on most cars)
you should see if you have it. Try to parallel park with one hand and
eat an ice cream cone with the other. If you can do that, then you have it.

If you have an automatic transmission, you’ll want to check the
automatic transmission fluid (ATF) every month. Also, if your Porsche
has a hydraulic clutch that connects the clutch pedal to the
transmission, you should check that fluid too.

Porsche Chayenne – the engine

Posted by admin under New Porsche News

With every new automobile, Porsche tried to redefine the meaning
of performance, by creating a more powerful engine. Cayenne Turbo
makes no exception to this rule. Like all Porsche engine, it is hand
assembled and the twin turbo V8 rises to an exacting level of technical
excellence.

Motronic ME7.1.1.is a system that controls the split-second precision
of the Cayenne V8 and V6 super engine. This new highly intelligent
engine management system balances impressive power with great
smoothness. All this to prove that Cayenne`s “brain” matches its brawn.
The Motronic system is built to monitor a wide range of sensors and
engine components. It compares streams of data with corresponding
sets of reference values, all this in a speed of milliseconds. Then, if it
finds any differences, the system adjusts key engine functions, such as
the ignition of fuel injection, based on this comparison. Into Motronic
management are included other key systems, such as onboard diagnostics
and cylinder-specific knock control, with automatic adaptation to any
change in fuel quality. All this for optimal performance in all driving conditions.

This process is seamless and automatic so the engine has a great
level of power and torque. Also, another great result is better fuel
economy and lower emissions in the exhaust stream.

Another function of the Motronic system is the managing of air flowing
into the engine to ensure maximum levels of performance. It does that
by regulating boost pressure on the Cayenne Turbo.

The Cayenne model includes another system, the resonance induction
system with a variable-length intake manifold. This is also an inventive
engineering concept that uses pressure waves created by the inlet
valves. It does this to increase the density of the incoming air, which,
in the end, will increase the amount of energy released during combustion.
There are two intake tubes, and depending on the speed, the system
will select one of them. The longer tube is used at lower speeds in order
to maximize low-end torque. At around 4250 rpm, it switches to shorter
Intake tube so that it maximizes power output with a more eager throttle response.

The Porsche Cayenne engineers wanted to improve combustion for
more power, better fuel economy, reduced emissions and less
maintenance. To do so, they created a static high-voltage ignition
system with separate ignition coils on each individual spark plug.
This is an advanced method that allows a longer spark-plug life.
The sequential fuel injection system is equally advanced. A returnless
fuel supply system serves each injector in order to continuously
adjust the precise air/fuel mix. The result is of course a better environment,
because it controls the emissions.
