Transport adventures in Poland

It's easier by car. Roads in Poland are already well developed.

Nicer by train.

I don't know, in Germany this year only 63% of trains run on time. It's never been this bad.

That's why yesterday and the day before yesterday, despite the onslaught of winter, I traveled several hundred kilometers by car and not by train. It ended with my black car turning white up to the roof. This morning there was a thaw and it's been raining non-stop. I just put my car out of the garage and into the parking lot in front of the house, hoping that the rain would wash the salt off my car and it would be black again. We'll see if this works or if I'll have to go to the car wash. 😉

Do you mean Far Siberia???? :):):)

Nope, we had winter for 2 days.

Pop the hood and wash the underside of it and spray the engine compartment down too.
The salt will stay there and corrode and make it rust in those hidden spots,.due to the chemical reaction by the salt which acts as a corrosive agent.
Drive your car down the road in the rain to wash the underside of the car too.

I don't know if I should, once in Opel Astra an overzealous Opel service employee washed my engine and after driving a few kilometers the engine started working irregularly. I returned to the workshop with 2 working cylinders.

I was actually told just few weeks ago at used cars dealership that they don't do that anymore due to how much electronic stuff is in the car now that can get damaged

You are correct.
I never spray high pressure water on the engine itself.


(Translated to American English as: Spray the underside of the hood and the compartment that the engine is housed in)
A lot of engines today are aluminum and don't corrode from salt.
I do however wash the underside of the hood and fenders inside the engine compartment.
(The metal stuff that rusts from salt)
The over spray is not enough to hurt any components.
I have never had a problem but then again I drive a truck that is built for abuse.

What else do you spray, then??? Don`t tell us it is your .............. hahahaha

At his age, there is no longer high pressure...

It depends how long you keep it in the tank...... If long enough, it can achieve amasing results. I know from my own experience. ):):)

A riddle just comes to mind. Is it possible to piess in the tank of a modern diesel car, at least visually?

Anything is possible today coz you can make a video of the act and show it online to become famous and Rich M. :):):)

The act would be true, but I have to ask a subsidiary question. What is the difference between the newer EURO 6 diesels and the older EURO 5 diesels?

Finally some good news. Over 10,000 drivers who were flashed on the highways and roads around Chemnitz in Germany will not receive a ticket. This is not a Christmas present but rather the result of the fact that the number of potential tickets was so large that the police and offices were unable to keep to the deadlines. In Germany, traffic offences are subject to a statute of limitations of 3 months. In my opinion they have become so greedy for money that they set speed cameras to speed limits that are too low. I recently got a ticket for exceeding the speed limit by 6 km. In the old days, unthinkable. And now they've been punished. There won't be any money. 😀
