Indeed, the natural shedding of surface rust on the mating surfaces, along with rust control measures on non-mating surfaces, would make them seemingly cleaner.

Indeed, use brake cleaner while replacing pads; nevertheless, refrain from using it for regular cleaning of rotors and pads. The substance is very corrosive, and if applied while the wheels are mounted on the vehicle, it will deteriorate the painted coatings and permanently damage the wheel finish. Furthermore, overspray may adhere to the vehicle's paint, perhaps resulting in complications. Rusted rotors after rainfall is typical and will dissipate with minor brake use during standard driving. To the original poster, you may invest significantly and get zinc-plated rotors for all wheels. Corrosion is unlikely to be an issue with them; nonetheless, you may incur significant financial loss as a result. As I already said, OP, accept it. It is typical and self-resolving with limited driving.

I opted to purchase a 2025 PHEV seeing several reports of issues from 2024 owners. Others may share their experiences, but I believe that most faults were rectified in cars produced after August or September 2024. I believe there is a rationale for the abundance of pre-owned, low-mileage 2024 CX-90s accessible; nonetheless, 2024 owners may provide insights based on their experiences. Thus far, my 2025 PHEV has been rather exceptional. I have seen the occasional gearbox noise while changing from 1st to 2nd gear, and I encountered a warning indication that proved inconsequential (specifically, an Oil Monitoring fault), as well as the temporary unavailability of I-Activesense or auto-headlights owing to rain or fog. While Mazda need more enhancements to the sensor and monitoring software, this car has been commendable overall. I have had it for around two months and have travelled just under 2,000 miles. I have refuelled it just twice, since most of my journeys fall within the electric vehicle range.

In my opinion, alloys are so prevalent today that unless the wheels are very unique, the need of adding locking nuts is questionable. I would appreciate other perspectives. Regarding a specialist, I believe Nuneaton is sufficiently close, hence Mercland is advisable.

My W163 ML270 is equipped with all-terrain tires, which perform really well in rainy fields and farm tracks. Additionally, it has a low range, which is advantageous. Uncertain about the comparison with a W164, but I would assert that is comparable, if not superior, because to the enhanced traction control on recent models. The earlier 163 retains a ladder chassis.

I'm not quite sure about that. In contrast to others who merely engage in conversation, he demonstrates tangible results, allowing you to verify the part numbers independently. One thing I have learnt so far is to be cautious about trusting anything that Mazda or their dealers say.

to comply with CX-80? Are you referring to the CX-80, which utilises the same components as the CX-60 and lacks any enhancements? To be honest, it's difficult to accept... However, the reality is that we do not require hope or belief in anything. CX-80 has been tested, and it appears to be just as disappointing as CX-60.

A faulty spark plug or a malfunctioning coil pack might induce a misfire. Indeed, 100,000 miles equates to around 10 years for the majority of vehicles, indicating a considerable duration. It is surprising that the OP's vehicle has not triggered an Engine Management Light given the starting and stalling troubles.

If the invoice indicates 'no,' then it was not replaced. Request a comprehensive service at an independent provider and specify the replacement of the fuel filter. Additionally, a diagnostic assessment may be warranted if the performance is erratic. Possibly malfunctioning spark plugs or a deteriorating coil pack. Consider hiring a proficient mobile mechanic for house repairs. Could conserve a substantial amount.

Continue to fill until overflow occurs; you will be astonished by the volume that may be added prior to this event.

My PHEV Premium Plus lacks the strip. Only the headlights function as daytime running lights. This is the highest grade PHEV, suggesting that the LED strip daytime running lights are exclusive to the Turbo S Premium Plus, akin to the premium taillights. This is quite foolish.

Both are premium engine oils that comply with BMW specifications. In my opinion, additives are unnecessary if oil changes are performed every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. If Cera Tec has enhanced the smoothness of your engine's operation, there is no justification for abstaining from its usage. Does it have elevated mileage?

I am experiencing an issue with my 2022 Sorento where the problem persists and the vehicle randomly turns off throughout the night and sometimes during the day without any apparent cause. Unfortunately, a solution for this problem has not been found yet. I have been engaged in a prolonged dispute with the dealer for about two years on this matter.

I have seen this phenomenon on my current automobile, as well as on my previous vehicle. Although the control arms seem to be in good condition, one of them is likely to be inside damaged. This can only be discovered after it is eliminated. I need to update the front control arms on my automobile annually. When a ball joint is impacted, it undergoes oscillations in both the forward and backward directions. The occurrence of this issue during braking may lead to the mistaken assumption that it is connected to the disc or pads. Typically, I see that as an indication to replace the control arms. Both of them are positioned on the strut. The right side will be the correct position. When the left side of the automobile's tires get worn, the car produces a metallic rubbing noise when it does a right turn. There is no sound when the right side is worn. There is just a judder sensation experienced while using the brakes.

What is the distance travelled? The gearbox requires maintenance every 38,000 km.Has it skipped a scheduled maintenance? There is a learning mode that I feel adjusts the clutch packs to their optimal settings. However, I was under the impression that doing such a task was not necessary after an oil change. I had my vehicle repaired last year, and it did not have any impact on the gear shifts.

Obtain the battery voltage reading when the vehicle fails to start.

Could this use the 38-pin HHT diagnostics port located in the engine compartment, considering that it could be too early for the OBD 16-pin port? However, I lack expertise in this matter.

Is your car compliant with Euro 6 regulations and has it been classified as Euro 5?

Can you confirm that this vehicle is exempt from the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ)? Are 2014 MB diesel vehicles classified as Euro 5 rather than Euro 6?

It seems that you had favourable weather conditions. I hope that tomorrow is same to today.

There is nothing more impressive than the fully loaded Renntransporter 😎

I would recommend inspecting the strut mount or drop link once again.

Indeed, I find it amusing 😂

Have you inspected the bulbs?

Is the click sound indicative of the reflector transitioning to the high beam position?
