A 2000 Millenia was the first sunroof-equipped vehicle I ever purchased. For more than two decades, I drove it about with the sunroof open "some" of the time, but rarely. It was completely trouble-free for me. Sunroofs are standard on all three of my Mazdas at the moment. My 2006 Mazda3 is the eldest, and on sunny days I open the sunroof on a frequent basis, especially on the commute home from work. There has never been an issue; in fact, I have never given it any special attention in terms of upkeep. Because I couldn't care less about having a sunroof, I had planned to get a base model without one when I purchased my 2020 CX-30. Unfortunately, the top Premium model was the only one available in the colour I really liked—Polymetal Grey. I now have a second sunroof. From time to time, I've opened it without any problems. I just purchased a CX-50 with a sunroof. I have owned it since mid-December, but I haven't driven it 2,000 miles yet. I think I've opened it once. Oddly enough, the sliding panel seems to just lift up and slide outside beyond the fixed panel in the back. Its slanted position made me think of a spoiler. I don't really need a sunroof most of the time, but it does add some comfort and I've never had any issues with it.

Concerning the availability of Jack to UK owners
nickoyster4 replied to Gianni682's topic in General Car Chat
Unfortunately, that is not included. It is possible to buy it as an accessory, although it is somewhat pricey. Try searching on eBay -

Re-trimming would be a more economical and aesthetically pleasing alternative, superior to a slip-on cover, and may be executed independently if one possesses sewing skills. I re-trimmed my E90 wheel, which incurred a cost of £8 and required several hours, resulting in aching fingers due to the absence of a thimble. The outcome is an aesthetically pleasing wheel devoid of glossy leather.

I possess one of them, but have not utilised it in a demanding situation yet.

The fuse is located behind the driver's seat. The pump is likely irreparable. £1,000 for a new one. They typically become moist due to water intrusion in the trunk.

Given the aforementioned information, do you believe it is mostly a sensor issue?

What is GLB?
-
No apparent issues. This issue commenced a few days before to my Service A, and they did not mention anything. Do you recommend utilising a mercenary or an independent contractor for this purpose?
-
It does not. Last night, it said to add 1 litre. The previous day, it indicated a reduction in engine oil. Merc performed a service two weeks prior.
-
If the issue were genuinely oil-related, would I have seen unusual sounds or a change in performance?

I possess a Mercedes-Benz GLB 200. A yellow notice unexpectedly arrived a few weeks ago, indicating the need to reduce engine oil, despite the oil having been replenished six months earlier. I drove the automobile to the dealership, and on that day, the notice did not appear. They ultimately performed Service A. A few days later, the notice reappeared. The vehicle was inactive for a week; now it displays a red notice indicating to switch off the engine oil. It occurs sporadically and may not manifest throughout my subsequent journey. The vehicle operates satisfactorily. No unusual sounds, etc. Today, it indicated to add 1 litre at the next filling; nevertheless, two minutes later, the red notice reappeared. The engine warning indicator is not illuminated. I am arranging the booking. Do you believe it is a sensor-related problem? Thank you very much

Must initiate the startup process twice.

Greetings Can just reiterate the aforementioned. You must wait until the shows are ready to commence. I start the car and then fasten my seatbelt. Indeed, warning chimes will sound; however, the vehicle is prepared for operation once the seatbelt is fastened. -
Procedures for replacing the PCV in a 2010 Toyota Camry
nickoyster4 replied to TechnoTrailblazer's topic in General Car Chat
That is simple, provided it is not jammed shut or failing to open fully. If it is jammed shut, obstructed, or not fully opening, it would be futile. -
Have the battery assessed to verify its condition; if you anticipate needing a replacement within the next year or two, why invest £25 in a monitor? You have recently increased the price of a battery by £25. Alternatively, one might get a high-quality battery to ensure peace of mind for the subsequent four years.

Replacing the front wheel on the 2023/2024 Evoque

Can you place your jack on a suitable piece of lumber to elevate its beginning height? -
Jacking Points for 72-Plate Sportage
nickoyster4 replied to Needsnewtyres2's topic in General Car Chat
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. -
Rear Suspension of CX60 Damping inadequate to regulate rebound
nickoyster4 replied to coolguy's topic in General Car Chat
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. -
Malfunction of A220 W176 Exhaust Flap Actuator! May I exit?
nickoyster4 replied to nickoyster4's topic in General Car Chat
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? -
