  1. Can you place your jack on a suitable piece of lumber to elevate its beginning height?
  2. As stated in the handbook, I possess a trolley jack and typically utilise a "strong point" for jacking; but, I have also employed the pinch welds with the addition of an ice hockey puck, which is inexpensive on eBay, among other sources.
  3. Await the moment when you begin to see the irregular gearbox and "surges" in velocity. I have been addressing that "feature" for two years, and it remains unresolved; I lack confidence in their ability to rectify it. Extremely disappointing from Mazda; I will not make another purchase.
  4. I had it replaced last year, which is why I wanted to remove it; it has been nothing but a nuisance. Is it possible that the spring is damaged and causing the error code to appear?
  5. To clarify, the vehicle is an A Class W176 A220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY AMG Sport, Diesel, Automatic.
  6. Greetings to everybody, Any information would be much appreciated! 🙏 I own a 2014 A220 with a code for Exhaust Flap Actuator Malfunction. I essentially want to eliminate it. I have reached my limit! (laughs) I have acquired an Exhaust Valve Delete Connector Terminator Removal tool. I have many enquiries: • If I remove the actuator, replace it with a straight segment of tubing, and connect the plugs? Consider using a reader to erase any codes once again. • Will this remedy the issue of the flap malfunction? • Are there any advantages or disadvantages to doing this? Concerned that it will not operate correctly (it already does not function properly due to this problem) or that fuel efficiency may be significantly compromised after this action. • I have heard that the noise may be impacted or amplified, but it will certainly not get excessively louder or like the sound of a bag of trousers thereafter. • Is the flap a crucial component that I should avoid altering? Will it impact M.O.T. assessments? What is the diameter of the exhaust pipe if this can be accomplished? I need a straight section of pipe, maybe flared at both ends, for welding purposes. I hope someone here has had a similar experience or has relevant knowledge. Any assistance with my enquiries or more information would be much appreciated. I anticipate that once doing this, I will once again get pleasure from driving my automobile. Thank you in advance. This is the delete connection I have acquired: (I hope it is the correct one)
  7. What is the status of the fuel filter?
  8. As already said. Additionally, try it with the MAF detached and see the results.
  9. The rebate applied to the entire MSRP should enough. If gap insurance, which reimburses your complete sum in the event of an immediate accident, is unnecessary, ensure the removal of any further items they may attempt to include. The destination cost is $1,455, the colour charge is $595, and optional packages should be included in your base MSRP, totalling around $58,665 for the top Turbo S PP. Local taxes will range from $5,000 to $5,800 in addition to your MSRP. Utilise the rebate to determine the final amount you should expect to pay. A cheaper price is preferable; nevertheless, the dealer will exert considerable pressure as they attempt to include other packages, which you may elect to exclude by insisting on their removal. Some dealers have preinstalled devices such as Lojack, located next to the battery compartment and secured by two bolts.
  10. I removed the Mazda application from my smartphone less than a year after my car acquisition. I deemed it personally ineffective. I keep the Mazda Connected Services disabled in my car settings. I see no use in any of it.
  11. This is my first E60, albeit it is not my initial automobile. I previously had three E39s and never encountered any issues. I will acquire some of these later this week and provide an update, hopefully next week. What was the duration of the last two vehicles you owned?
