  1. On some models, it constitutes a component of the condenser located on the side:
  2. The outside. It is positioned at the forefront of the radiator assembly.
  3. The condenser is often available separately; however, it is often significantly rusted at this stage, so I suggest replacing the whole unit. Its function is to absorb moisture inside the refrigerant circuit. This moisture interacts with lubrication oils and other components (such as the compressor), resulting in blockages and the formation of acids that degrade seals, among other issues.
  4. It is amusing how often individuals here assert that; hence, it may have validity in certain cases. Alternatively, I may just have had misfortune, since every component I have inquired about at my local Marshalls has been available at far lower prices elsewhere, often identical to the original part.
  5. be carefull with the quick changes locations
  6. Spotify or Amazon Music CDs. Indeed, I remember them. 🤣🤣 A CD changer may still be available, although I presume...
  7. Accessing the solenoid wire in the E-box is possible without removing the undertray; however, I cannot recall the specific plug required. It is located inside the harness that connects to the gearbox, which is all I can remember. Unless it is an early model engine, which has a plug connected to the DPF sensors that extends to the starter.
  8. It is possible, but it requires more momentum than that of fuel.
  9. The solenoids I have encountered just failed, producing no noise or any other indications of malfunction. Identical if the grounding strap had fractured.
  10. Ground strap for the nearside engine mount bracket to the chassis. Instruct your assistance to begin the process while you monitor the voltage at the starting solenoid; it may just be a defective starter. I have had many N47 engines failing unexpectedly in the past.
  11. The M57 is an excellent engine; consistently doing oil changes at 6,000 to 7,000 miles will ensure its longevity. Mine is at 200,000 and lovely. The automatic gearbox should be OK; nonetheless, it is advisable to get it serviced unless you possess documentation indicating recent maintenance. Everything else is standard to monitor.
  12. If you purchased a new vehicle and plan to use the same dealership, there is a possibility that you may negotiate a low-cost installation with them. I estimate they would likely charge one hour each set, which, at US shop rates, would approximate $300 excluding tax and shop fees. That is not inexpensive and is an expense I would not incur. If they indicated a price of $150 or less, it may be reasonable; nevertheless, I am sceptical that you will encounter that amount. I put front and rear splash guards on my 2023 model, anticipating a straightforward bolt, snap, clip, and go process, similar to my experiences with previous vehicles. Not at all. Yet another unnecessarily complex approach that Mazda seems to adopt. Fortunately, I had access to the jacknut tool, which simplified the process; nonetheless, I still needed to remove all four wheels, drill the requisite holes, install the jacknuts, and secure them with clips and bolts. In the absence of the jacknut tool, you will likely resort to other methods (dual wrenches), which may potentially damage your inner wheel liner. This raises the inquiry of "is it truly worthwhile?".
  13. Thank you for being vigilant. One of my biggest dislikes is the imposition of excessive taxes on components that are much cheaper on other marketplaces.
  14. How can the IQ be computed accurately if the maf sensor is not taken into account for off boost control? When the boost is increased, the fueling may be adjusted based on the load and the map can be used to ensure that there is enough boost without exceeding the desired limit (overboost). It is likely unnecessary to modify the map signal, however you may just decrease the maf signal with a resistor to see if this would mitigate the excessive fueling. If such is the case, you may use an Arduino or a comparable device to readjust the maf.
  15. It is rather evident, isn't it? When the engine is not in boost mode, the electronic control unit (ECU) uses the air mass data from the mass air flow (MAF) sensor to determine the injection quantity (IQ). Decreasing the signal will result in a reduction in the fueling. A weak maf signal is a well known factor that may lead to suboptimal performance. However, in this particular situation, you can use it to your benefit. During periods of increased boost, the MAP sensor is used more often than the MAF sensor due to the latter's limited ability to function throughout a broad range of air flow. (often, there is an abundance of air present) Attempt it.
  16. Indeed, the issue I previously highlighted occurs prior to the boost reaching a sufficient level to provide the air required for fuel consumption. In addition to issues with smoke and unburned gasoline, an oversupply of fuel may also lead to turbo lag due to its cooling effect on the exhaust. When greater flow injectors were installed on the old Rover's with a VP37 pump, a lower output MAF was also installed to regulate the excessive fueling at low rpm. This might potentially be a viable solution.
  17. This formula promotes excessive fueling without boost, resulting in the production of smoke, oil contamination with diesel, and low fuel efficiency. In the past, there were a limited number of businesses capable of calibrating the electronic control unit (ECU), which is mostly integrated inside the pump.
  18. Indeed, I had Total Commander installed on my mobile device, which had the capability to do the desired task.
  19. Regrettably, the functionality is not compatible with my phone due to Android 14's limitation on accessing the data folder. In order to acquire access, it is necessary for me to download an application from a source other than the official one. It would be more convenient if the PDFs were directly put in the designated download location.
  20. I am also experiencing a lack of success. On my Android device, I am able to access the service history and start the download process. However, I am unable to locate the downloaded file on my phone or send it via email or print it. Therefore, it is essentially trapped inside the application.
  21. Since the Dongar device draws electricity from the rear view mirror, which is only active when the ignition is on, the Parking mode will not function.
