Comfort settings retained but non-functional

Braking is unnecessary. Simply remain in the automobile for a little while. Fasten your seatbelt. Pressing the start button will cause the whole procedure to stop. -

I own a 2017 C250 d AMG Line Saloon, and I have observed that the rear tyres on my vehicle have a very limited lifespan, lasting barely 4,000 km. The Pirelli Cint P7 tyre model. Is this considered typical and are there other tyre options that may be more

Indeed. I am of advanced age, as you may be aware. Ancient. -

I am the owner of a 2017 C Class estate vehicle. The pace of deterioration is quite impressive. -
What are the prevailing expectations about the CX-70? The pragmatic aspect of my perspective anticipates a CX-60 model with the same width as the CX-90. My desire is for a vehicle that has a roofline reminiscent of the sloped Cayenne Coupe, exceeding a length of 60 units. It is well known that there is a general consensus over the anticipated appearance of both the front end and inside.

Inquiry Regarding Fuel Usage in Mazda Diesel Engines
WanderlustGuru replied to migueldosantos77's topic in General Car Chat
The vigilant observation of these occurrences by consumers of various firms is evident. Currently, it seems that only Volkswagen and its subsidiaries have been impacted by the situation, which might be seen as positive news. It has been well recognized that the automotive industry, as a collective entity, tends to be economical with the facts in regard to fuel efficiency ratings. However, this represents a distinct and elevated degree of complexity. Similar to yourself, I have the belief that any other manufacturers engaged in unethical practices, if they exist, would duly disclose their actions in the appropriate manner. -
I am a resident of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It is likely that you assumed I was referring to Lancaster in Buffalo, New York. However, I am inquiring about the location of Fredonia inside the state of New York. Is the location in close proximity to Buffalo?

I am uncertain about the subject matter of Town Mazda that you have mentioned. I am now enrolled at Lancaster Toyota - Mazda. Are you referring about the Lancaster Ice Rink located on Manheim Pike? I possess little knowledge on Balle Total Fitness. I have not personally encountered one in my lifetime, however I must acknowledge that I have not actively sought for such an experience. May I inquire about your geographical location?

Revision: Over the weekend, a group of three individuals, including myself, assembled in a residential garage located in Buffalo, NY. Our objective was to effectively install coil overs and a strut bar, which we accomplished with few complications. The one issue encountered was to the control arms situated in the front of the vehicle. Upon successfully loosening them, further attempts to further loosen them for removal were unsuccessful. Additionally, efforts to tighten them back up were similarly ineffective. Furthermore, the torque wrench used in our experiment had some peculiarities that diverged from my previous encounters. Consequently, when applying a torque of 80 lb/ft to one of the bolts securing the upper mounts in the frontal region, I inadvertently overtightened it, resulting in the shearing of the bolt's upper section. Tomorrow, I will be taking my vehicle to the Mazda dealership to have the wheel alignment adjusted and to rectify an error I made with a bolt. However, the vehicle's posture has a notably assertive demeanor at now. The wheels seamlessly integrate with the wheel wells, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Additionally, the springs possess a desirable level of rigidity, as seen by the vehicle's inclination to eagerly navigate turns throughout the journey home. The decision was made to refrain from installing the Eibach sway bars and the Mazdaspeed camber links, as a result of our limited expertise and the intricate nature of the installation process. Tomorrow, I will take my vehicle to Mazda and request them to complete the work from where I had previously left off. Overall, the installation process was really educational and enjoyable. I was able to accumulate significant savings as a result of engaging in do-it-yourself (DIY) activities.

Greetings, esteemed individuals: I am now contemplating the installation of many aftermarket suspension components on my 2004 Mazda 3s, with the specific timing of this undertaking still to be determined, maybe occurring either on Friday or Saturday. Certainly, I am intending to do the installation independently in order to save money and also to get experience in do-it-yourself (DIY) projects. The components that will be installed are the Tein Basic CoilOver Suspension, MAZDASPEED Strut Bar, Eibach Front and Rear Swaybars, and MAZDASPEED Rear Camber Links. Moreover, I will be installing a collection of Falken Azenis tires, namely the 215/45/17 size, into 17x7 gunmetal Falken Torque 5 wheels. I am interested in obtaining any valuable guidance on the installation process, as well as any relevant information that may be necessary. I express my gratitude to all those who have provided assistance.

It is recommended to start the cleaning process by thoroughly washing the bonnet. To do this, it is advisable to use a clay mitt along with a enough amount of snowfoam to effectively eliminate any accumulated residue or debris. Subsequently, rinsing the bonnet is essential, followed by towel drying. To further enhance the bonnet's appearance, it is suggested to manually apply a product such as Koch Chemie P6.01. This should be done by evenly distributing the product throughout the whole surface of the bonnet, followed by buffing. It is advisable to assess the outcome of the aforementioned situation prior to considering the formulation of a detailed plan of action, such as a defense attorney's involvement. One of my acquaintances is a professional detailer who has a collection of dual-action polishers, including several models from Rupes, amounting to hundreds of pounds in value. However, for smaller maintenance tasks, he utilizes a particular polisher, which I also acquired and have found to be quite reliable. The provided link directs to an Amazon UK webpage featuring a selection of polishers. I have not yet used it on my F31 vehicle, since it necessitates a visit to the body shop for the purpose of refreshing the front end, which has been subjected to several stone chips, and also to have the back bumper repainted. However, it significantly enhanced the performance of my prior vehicle, the Azurite Black F01 730D.

I just acquired a 2010 A4/CVT automobile. The vehicle in question has accumulated a mileage of just 600 kilometers, although it has shown issues pertaining to its rolling capabilities. When situated on a gentle slope and with the foot on the brake pedal while the vehicle is in drive mode, releasing the brake causes the car to exhibit a forceful backward rolling motion, akin to the behavior of a manual transmission vehicle in neutral. During my recent experience, I found myself situated in a parking space characterized by a gentle incline. Upon engaging the reverse gear and afterwards releasing the brake pedal, I saw that the vehicle unexpectedly moved in a forward direction, so posing a potential collision risk with another nearby vehicle. According to the dealer, the observed rolling behavior of the CVT gearboxes is considered "normal" and may be attributed to the lightweight nature of the vehicle, resulting in consistent performance. I find this phenomenon to be peculiar. Is anybody else experiencing similar issue with a newly implemented continuously variable transmission (CVT)? It has been reported that earlier iterations exhibited this behavior, but it was not anticipated in subsequent versions.

It has been reported that WD40 contact cleaner works well and dries without leaving any dust-attracting residue. However, in my annoyance, I squirted some liquid into the barrel. Short-term gain: I'm glad that it begins reliably on the key without any more forward push. Time will tell, I suppose, so stay tuned to this site in case I'm incorrect.

Think a shot of WD would do any good without causing problems elsewhere?
-
What the!!

I've been fiddling around with the key and ign again. I give the key a gentle push into the barrel once the motor has started, and she remains firing. A temporary remedy is welcome, but a longer-term solution is required. Possibly a worn barrel.

I cant seem to put my finger on the issue. Having to physically keep the key in the "start" position without letting go too soon gives the experience a mechanical quality. It works sometimes, but other times she dies. I figured I'd start with the simplest option, so I bought some Fast Drying Contact Cleaner. I was hesitant to use WD40 for fear of making matters worse. I agree with you that it would be best to eliminate the back switch panel.

The P6b ignition switch is being really difficult. Input the key and the automobile will immediately start firing. As soon as I take my finger off the key, the engine will stop. Keeping her energized after I release the key requires a much longer period of complete contact. According to a Google search, only professional WD40 I was wondering whether the switch had been packed. A squirt of WD40 Fast Drying Contact Cleaner inside the key barrel could solve the issue. I don't want to accidentally spray WD40 Fast Drying Contact Cleaner where it doesn't belong. Perhaps someone here knows of a solution to this issue that I have missed.

When I get my adaptive headlights to successfully communicate with the steering angle sensor, I will install them.
