  1. It seems that the subject in question is no longer in existence.
  2. Upon examination, the focus is directed on the 2023 Mazda CX-9, a recently released automobile model. It is probable that they will attempt to promote the purchase of the navigation system SD card. Is the upsell option worthwhile and what are the distinguishing features between it and Google Maps?
  3. The notion expressed is commendable. Upon my second replacement of the gaskets, I proceeded to meticulously clean the mating surfaces before placing my mechanic's ruler on the cylinder head. Upon observation, the ruler looked to be in a state of alignment and uniformity.
  4. I would concur with your viewpoint if I had not replaced the gaskets on two separate occasions. Furthermore, while running my fingers down the cover at the seam, I see a complete absence of oil residue. The photographs I have sent were taken prior to doing a thorough cleaning of the objects in order to get a more comprehensive visual examination. Upon doing a thorough inspection of the engine, specifically focusing on the juncture between the exhaust manifold and the engine, I saw the presence of oil seepage in the vicinity of the gasket region while ensuring optimal cleanliness and operating the engine concurrently. Addressing such issue is beyond my capabilities. I will consult a reputable automotive repair facility to investigate the matter. I really appreciate your efforts to provide assistance.
  5. Located at the forefront of the engine is a conspicuous, massive black bracket with a central aperture. I posit that this is one of two methods used for the extraction of the engine from the automobile. Currently, I am not in close proximity to the vehicle. This is the most optimal picture available on my mobile device.
  6. Our inventory includes a 2014 CX-9 Sport model with a mileage of 124,000. The presence of a distinct odor like burnt oil and the emission of smoke originating from the frontal region of the engine were observed. After careful analysis, it was determined that the issue at hand pertained to the valve cover gaskets. Consequently, the valve cover gaskets were subsequently changed on two separate occasions. Upon seeing the persistent presence of odor and smoke subsequent to the first occurrence, I deduced that an error had been made on my part. There is evidence of oil leakage emanating from the upper section of the exhaust manifold in close proximity to the engine's pulling bracket. Upon doing a thorough cleaning, it has become apparent that there exists oil residue in the vicinity of the exhaust manifold gasket next to the engine pulling bracket. Has anybody else had a similar experience? This is a novel concept to me. There is no presence of coolant in the oil, nor is there any evidence of oil in the coolant. The automobile has not had any instances of overheating. Oil changes are typically recommended to be performed every 5,000 miles. Any assistance would be much appreciated. I express my gratitude in advance.
  7. I am the proud owner of the Premium CX-30 model in the vibrant Soul red color, and I am very enamored with it. The use of the color red significantly enhances its visibility. I have not encountered any difficulties.
  8. The plastic tube functions as a damper, so facilitating a gradual opening process. It is essential that the attachment be affixed. Reattaching these gloveboxes might be a challenging task. I have completed several tasks. Would it be possible for you to record a video clip pertaining to the matter at hand?
  9. My Protege 1.6L from 2001 experienced a similar issue. The car's engine has been acting up, particularly in heavy traffic, with poor performance and sudden shutoffs when completely warmed up. The check engine light finally turned on, so I took it to Autozone to get the codes. The codes were P1141 for the back O2 sensor and P0300 for cylinder misfires that seemed to happen at random. After reading this topic, I removed the mass air flow sensor and cleaned it with non-chlorinated brake cleaner as described above. I then cleaned the throttle body with its designated cleaner. The IAT sensor's tiny "bulb" was, in fact, quite grimy. The check engine light turned off tonight, and the vehicle did feel better, but I won't know for sure that the issue has been solved until I've driven the car for a few weeks, since it only occurs seldom. If I don't provide an update here during the next two months, you may assume that a thorough cleaning of the MAF/IAT resolved the issue.
  10. This is quite disappointing. Automakers that enter the EV market later cannot afford to make any mistakes. If low-quality goods are released, the whole electric vehicle industry will look bad. Customers will spread negative word-of-mouth about EVs in general, saying things like "I paid a lot of money for a horrible experience." In my humble view.
  11. Don't fret, my friend. Your intentions are good; I realize that.
  12. Not so clear; in my 15 years of driving Mercs, I've never seen or heard of an om602. Those in the know, well, they know. πŸ˜†
  13. Well 14 plate on 2.2 diesle most problems fixed petrol all OK just not quite as quick.
  14. I don't understand why trade standards didn't investigate why Mazda developed an engine with a potentially catastrophic flaw if the timing chain doesn't lengthen before the warranty expires. In other words, a malfunctioning engine.
  15. This is the one I used.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06ZYXB168/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 There are a plethora of comparable ones accessible.
  16. Similar problems to yours existed with my Mazda, including a rising oil level and sporadic EM lights with a fault code indicating a clogged dpf. Once a month, I drove the vehicle on a vigorous drive, maintaining the revs over 2k in third or fourth for more than 30 minutes after purchasing a code reader and deleting the codes. Problem was never repeated. It's important to note that no matter how you drive, your engine won't do a regen until the fault code is cleared.
  17. When playing music via Bluetooth, the artist/song will not be displayed. Only if your stereo has an iPhone connection and your iPhone is connected into it. Regarding the bass, you must adjust the bass parameters, and trust me, it does sound bassy πŸ˜‰ Fuel tank: 55 litres; the warning light typically illuminates with 50 kilometres remaining. However, this is what the computer says. I was never able to add more than 43 litres. Thus, when the light comes on, you could drive an additional 120-130 miles.
  18. I saw the Gen 4 yesterday and am close to buying. The automobile is fantastic for the driver but not for passengers. Nice exterior. The main console's limited buttons make Gen 1 seem lacking. The interior seems sparse since they are all oriented to the in-car screen. This weekend, I'm considering Metallic Blue. Only trade in Gen 1 due to deteriorating paint. Hopefully Mazda 3 new models fix this. Otherwise, a nice vehicle.
