  1. Having been involved in the development process that established GVWR, towing, and payload ratings for several different vehicles, I can assert that these figures were predominantly derived from arbitrary estimations. Manufacturers will establish a target value for a specific parameter, perform validation testing according to their prescribed safety or load factor, and thereafter display the final figures on the placard. The vehicles has greater capabilities, although the label will reflect what the manufacturer is willing to disclose. I can guarantee that a CX-90 will not ignite spontaneously when towing a 5001 lb trailer.
  2. It is somewhat far, but, I had one from Ibiza a few years ago and have a Swiss one scheduled for November 1st.
  3. Plausibility refers to deviations from expected values observed in the mass air flow sensor. The authentic sensor is the optimal solution; the installation of a substandard alternative may lead to issues. Furthermore, upon replacement, it is imperative to reset adaptations and calibrate the hot air film using diagnostic tools. Occasionally, sensors may malfunction, resulting in erroneous readings or simply require a reset. If difficulties arise, bring the vehicle to me for one hour, during which I will connect my high-end Autel Pro2 Elite scanner and programmer to reset all parameters and analyse live data. Mass air flow sensors typically have a lifespan of approximately 80,000 miles and may deteriorate over time.
  4. might be the vac pipes rubber ends become soft, if not that then those engines the turbo's are crap, when they first came out they were dropping like flies from brand new, the vnt vehicle rust and shaft stuck
  5. Replacing or removing the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is frequent when the filter becomes obstructed towards the end of its lifespan. For instance, Ford, Volvo, and PSA utilise the same engine, with a service interval of approximately 75,000 miles for vehicles primarily used for long-distance travel, while those utilised for urban driving may require attention sooner.
  6. Outdated information and pricing are present. Did you enter the part number into Google? What is the number that may assist in locating one for you?
  7. Are they cataloged on realoem? I get a part number and then input it into a Google search, which often yields successful results.
  8. The scanner must be of high quality. Reexamine and enumerate the codes herein.
  9. What trouble codes are currently present? You should possess a contingency plan in the event of a failure to initiate. Which scanner did you get, and is it compatible with BMW vehicles?
  10. I understand. Yesterday, my wife accompanied me and experienced "the crunch" for the first time. She inquired, "What was that?" and I clarified that the automobile was functioning properly and that it was only a noise produced by the vehicle. Subsequently, she made a disparaging remark on the cheap impression it imparts to the automobile. I have had a mostly affectionate, albeit sometimes resentful, connection with my wife with my CX-90. She assisted me in deciding to get my Mazda instead of an Acura or Telluride. Upon learning about the Acura's fuel efficiency, she expressed dissatisfaction. As I was focusing on the Telluride, she said that the CX-90 was more aesthetically pleasing and distinctive in comparison to the Telluride. She said that the CX-90 had a resemblance to a BMW and seemed to be a car suited for an individual who has "accomplished something in life." Nonetheless, I had previously mocked her incessantly on the many problems we had with her former 2014 Grand Cherokee, and when we acquired her 2019 Jeep, I ensured the purchase of an extended warranty. However, her 2019 Grand Cherokee has been mostly trouble-free, but my CX-90 has required far more visits to the repair shop, and for longer durations, compared to her previous 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, despite the difficulties with the CX-90 being less serious. It has been unenjoyable to endure her criticisms on my CX-90 PHEV during the last two years. Nonetheless, she appreciates my somewhat seldom visits to the petrol station.๐Ÿ˜
  11. No one I know will sell on eBay now that the restrictions have been altered. Advantageous for purchasers. Anything except that, for sellers. Excessively costly and very susceptible to theft. Ebay mostly favours purchasers as well.
  12. Just look at the battery , it will say if it's AGM and if it has a vent hole on any of the sides, it will likely be a regular lead acid. Most cars now with batteries in the cabin (like under the back seat) will be AGM. AGM batteries will have different charging characteristics. If you change from one to the other, you're supposed to go into the cars programming and change the settings in order to get maximum life of the battery. Not that any battery will last more than 5 years in Texas.
  13. Thank you very much. That is rather excessive, regrettably. Is there anybody in or near Bucks?
  14. Greetings to everybody. I hope you are in good health. Can anybody suggest an AMG expert in the Buckinghamshire region, please? Thank you very much
  15. Well it's home! Did it all wrong by not attempting it again first - instead I plugged the booster pack up under the hood and attempted a start with the spare key and it started right up I will examine the earth connections and the battery box today to identify any apparent issues and will provide an update.
  16. Consideration: The vehicle is stationed on an inclineโ€”an experience I have yet to do. Is it feasible to bump start a diesel engine with ease?
  17. I will also examine them. Does the solenoid click when the starter is engaged, or is it indicative of a solenoid failure? I hope it is a "traditional" solution rather than the CAS.
  18. It was a dealership specialising in damaged vehicles, none of which had undergone repairs; however, I missed the opportunity, and it was sold.
