I hope I don't have to deal with this, because it looks complicated; every morning before I turn the ignition on, I hear a gurgling sound coming from the tank. I have been pursuing this for the past three months, and chatgpt has sent me on a diagnostic house tour.

excellent article. Do you mean the left side sedner or the one with the floats? I'm having the same problem and need to know which one failed. Which one did you find to be defective?

To begin, fill the tank to a level of about 20 litres. You must still drain the left side of the saddle to a level of approximately 20 litres even if all the fuel is in the left saddle. Just four bolt head screws per cover can be unscrewed to remove the two covers (found under the back seat). Turn the lock rings with the removal tool to open them. The top connectors (on the left side of the saddle) will likely leak, so you'll need to use clean rags to mop them up. Unplug the fuel pump from the saddle and secure a string around one of the fuel connectors on the right side. (unlock connector with two push clips and one fuel supply button—yellow) While keeping an eye out for the fuel level float, remove the fuel level sensor assembly from the left hand side. Now fasten the string around the three new pipes' ends. Carefully thread them into the left-hand saddle, then thread them through the saddle's hole that connects the two sides. Carefully insert the left-hand fuel level sensor assembly into the left-hand saddle. Finally, thread the ends of the pipes into the right-hand saddle. Make sure the left-hand fuel sensor assembly is in the right place, and then attach the piping to the right-hand fuel pump. Before you put the lock ring on, check that the plastic housings are snugly encircled by the round circular washer.(The ring should have a blue mark; line it up with the attachment point's blue mark.) Turn the ring (pressing down on the washer) using the tool until it clicks into position. Be sure to fill the tank halfway. Turn the key to the second position and keep it there until the fuel pump stops; do this several times. Make sure there are no leaks or tears around the lock rings by running the engine for a while. Recheck for seams after filling the tank to capacity if it is clear. Put the covers back on after that. (To avoid wires chafing at the entry points, I added extra rubber.) Stupid mistakes: 1) Always use the correct lugs when connecting the fuel connectors; for example, the big one on top of the fuel pump is the one with the yellow button connector. One with a black rubber ring or gland goes to the one below it, and the one below that gets the one without. 2) In the event that you notice any fuel leaking around the lock ring, remove it, turn the circular washer around by, say, 90 degrees, and then lock it again. 3) As the air is being circulated out of the tank, you may hear gurgling sounds coming from it. Here is my clumsy account of how the saddle tank works: From the top, fuel is pumped to the engine via the Fuel Quantity Control Valve and the High Pressure Fuel Pump via the big (yellow button) connection to the left side fuel level assembly. Problem solved. For the fuel pump to receive the maximum amount of fuel, it is necessary to empty the left saddle in favour of the right. In addition, another pipe carries the fuel to the left-hand fuel level sensor assembly; from there, it flows through a nozzle submerged in fuel at the assembly's base, pushing fuel into a pipe that ultimately recirculates to the right-hand saddle. Everything will seem fine if there is a leak in the last two pipes, but when the fuel level drops, the leak will become apparent and air will be able to enter the fuel circulation pipes. In such case, air is redirected to the right-hand tank and the nozzle stops working. You have approximately fifteen litres of fuel remaining, according to your fuel gauge, but the right-hand saddle is empty.

along with the BRAND NEW Fuel Level Sensor assembly (as opposed to a used one).

This one is for you if you've ever been in the same boat as me and had the gas gauge read 1/4 full but still ran out: There is likely air seeping into the fuel pipes inside the tank due to brittle or broken fuel supply lines. Just replace the "fuel level sensor" on the left side of the saddle tank, not the pump. It's located on the left hand side, near the port. All three fuel pipes are included with this. Anybody can do it. Fuel tank lock ring removal tools with reasonably long 1/2" bars are required.

Also received the same for my 2025 NA I adore and favour them. Compared to the awful Bridgestone OEM tires, these needed some breaking in. It rides much smoother, has better handling, and has better cornering. Looking forward to testing them out in the snow!

I recently swapped out the Michelin Cross Climate2 tires (215/55R18) for 225/55R18. Those Cross Climate2s yielded 80k for me. A fresh set of Cross Climate2s in the size 225/55R18 was out of my price range. In Maryland, they are not easy to come by. 225/55R18 Goodyear WeatherReady2s were a close second, so I went with them. I am really impressed by the Goodyear. It is too soon to tell how they stack up against Cross Climate2. Compared to the 215, the 225's wider footprint makes for better cornering.

This is a set of 235/50R18 tires. The additional width and overall size match the stock size for speedo (no change), even though the second number is different (50 vs 55). These won't protrude or sling excessively because of their narrow width.

Here are the specs: UHP 235/50R18 Considering the car's requirements, it's likely the ideal size. Compared to the stock el440 Turanza 215/55R18 tires, the performance is significantly better, and the Speedo is unaltered. You might get slightly better results with the real brand and maybe a grand touring tire. Climate is another factor. For the southwestern desert, I opted for Pirelli P Zero AS plus threes. As a general rule, the Michelin Pilot Sports are the best UHP tires to go for more extreme weather. The 235/50R18's are fantastic. It fits this car perfectly.Removed attachment.

Your desires will dictate the outcome. The 235/55R18 tires I'm using don't rub at all. Size matters more ➎ Increased grip and control Wheel wells are filled and tires appear flusher to body panelling, leading to a subjective improvement in appearance. The speedometer is slightly thrown off by it, and lower MPG is caused by heavier tires.

Of course

On the advice of Discount Tire, I purchased a set of Michelin Defender 2 225/55/R18 tires for my 2024 CX-30 Carbon Edition yesterday. The BridgeStone Turanza EL440 in the size 215/55/R18 was previously mounted on my vehicle. The new tyre size is making me think twice. I was wondering if the 225/55/R18 size of tires would work well on my CX-30.

It pairs perfectly with the UAG case I got for the Qi2. So far, I have not experienced any loss of magnetism. Since it is a sturdy arm, it will most certainly not jiggle. It has a swivel mount, so you can adjust its position by tightening a ring; however, I am unsure if the ring will loosen with use.

Thank you for getting back to me. Excuse me, but I have some questions regarding this mount. Is it possible, for instance, to charge the phone even when it's in use? Just how powerful is the phone's magnetic grip? When you drive over bumps, does it stay put or does it bounce? Much obliged.

This one arrived the other day, and I'm pleased with it so far:

Looking for a MagSafe phone mount that is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and has built-in wireless charging for my A3 8v 2014 phone. So that there is minimal wiring from the charging port, I would like it to be positioned in-between the center vents in the dash. Please, anybody, point me in the correct way; I would be eternally grateful.

🥰

Your responses are appreciated. The failure of both headlights' angel eyes occurred simultaneously, leading me to believe that it is not the bulbs. But I will look into them and get back to you as soon as I can.
