Diesel fuel leaking from exhaust joint at FBH.
migueldosantos77 replied to migueldosantos77's topic in General Car Chat
After the strip down and clean up over the weekend, the fbh has been functioning perfectly with little smoke for the last several days, which is an improvement from previously. To determine the source of the metallic scraping noise as I accelerate, it seems like something is grinding on either a brake shield or one of the metal coverings below the vehicle. It might also be due to a loose rear prop centre bearing. Thank you -

Today, I disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled my fuel bowl heater. Fortunately, the pottery remained unbroken. It leaked while attempting to start it after the repair, although it had the same issue before it was taken out. Thank you very much -

Thank you, that clarifies the situation. Thank you -
Hello everyone. I have been attempting to address an intermittent problem with the fbh, where it sometimes activates and other times does not. ACM-Audio System Error code U0166-00 indicates a loss of communication with the auxiliary heating control module. AHCM stands for Auxilary Heater Control Module. Code B1D31-94 indicates that a flame was detected before the system started operating normally due to a component failure leading to unexpected operation. While experimenting, I saw diesel leaking from the exhaust on the FBH where the exhaust port connects to the concertina exhaust pipe and trickling onto the inner wing. Has anybody else seen this issue, and is there a solution available? I presume the lack of leakage occurs while the heater is priming, since there are no leaks when it is operational. Thank you

There are two distinct automobiles that exhibit contrasting characteristics. It is futile to inquire on this platform, since individuals are inclined to provide their own preference between the two options. Personally, I would go for the A250 due to my youthful disposition and remarkable sense of coolness. However, the ultimate decision rests solely with you.

I was surprised to see that CD Players had become obsolete. Over the course of many years, I have dedicated much effort to substituting my vinyl collection with compact discs.I am now engaged in the practise of playing records at home using my old Pioneer system. However, I am contemplating the acquisition of a plug-in CD player due to the substantial number of CDs in my possession, totaling over 600. After doing more study, I have made the decision to transfer albums into 32GB flash devices that are formatted in the FAT32 file system. I organise my laptop's files by creating a dedicated folder for each artist, inside which I make sub-folders for each album. I use the legacy Windows 10 media player to convert and save the audio files in the FLAC format. The flash drive has a large storage capacity for music files. I establish a connection between my mobile device and my CX30 vehicle, use voice-activated instructions to navigate and pick audio content.

Alright, and has the dealership verified that this is a customary occurrence within your geographical area? If such is the case, it might be seen as a detriment. Was it suggested that the absence of touchscreen functionality may be a mandatory criterion for your country? Alternatively, it is possible that Mazda discourages drivers from using the touchscreen functionality.

Typically, Mazda indicates that the touch screen functionality is off for the majority of its centre screen capabilities. However, it is worth noting that the touch screen feature remains operational for Apple CarPlay. I would like need the assistance of a sales representative at your dealership to provide a demonstration on the operational functionalities of Apple CarPlay or its Android phone counterpart. In the presence of certain conditions, the touchscreen is expected to function properly. To establish a connection between your CX-90 and your mobile device, use the Bluetooth functionality. Subsequently, go to Apple Carplay on your mobile device, which should then be projected into the central screen of the vehicle's interface. Once shown, you may interact with the Apple Carplay interface by using touch controls. Observe

If a metre connected to the battery indicates a current drain even when all electrical components are turned off, it would be advisable to systematically remove fuses to identify the source of the drain. Alternatively, seeking assistance from a mobile auto electrician would be a viable option. It is likely that the issue is related to the recent maintenance performed on the vehicle.

Inquiry Regarding Fuel Usage in Mazda Diesel Engines
migueldosantos77 replied to migueldosantos77's topic in General Car Chat
As observed in an article published in the Mail on Sunday on October 4th. Volkswagen is not the only entity implicated in this matter. The report was authored by Dr. James Tate, a researcher affiliated with the Institute of Transport Studies at Leeds University. The Mercedes-Benz vehicle was found to be exceeding the speed limit by a factor of 5.3. The BMW was seen traveling at a speed that exceeded the legal limit by a factor of 5.6. The Mazda 6 exceeded the speed limit by 1.0 times. The Ford vehicle exceeded the limit by a factor of 6.8. The individual proceeds to assert that little diesel automobiles in urban areas produce more pollutants than double-decker buses or fully loaded 40-ton articulated trucks, hence presenting a significant economic opportunity for car manufacturers. This enables them to market tax-friendly, high-performance luxury vehicles that purportedly exhibit low pollution levels, hence facilitating increased profitability. On average, Mazda engines had the highest emission levels, with an average of 0.49 grams per kilometer. If we accept this premise, it is anticipated that Mazda will provide news in the near future. -

I have not made any assertions on Mazda's potential involvement in cheating practices. My intention was just to provide a publicly available news piece for reference. Although my personal satisfaction with Mazda UK and its dealer network is now at its lowest point, I am optimistic that Mazda has shown integrity in this particular case and will attentively monitor the developments. -

It is widely acknowledged that Volkswagen has been responsible for significant and reprehensible issues, and several experts in the automotive industry have suggested that other manufacturers may also be implicated in similar practices. I have just obtained a Mazda Venture Sport 1.6 diesel vehicle, marking my second acquisition of this particular model. I have a genuine belief that Mazda will refrain from engaging in the aforementioned reprehensible conduct. I anticipate that they will promptly declare their decision to abstain from using this approach in their diesel vehicle lineup.

Is there a straightforward solution for this issue?
migueldosantos77 replied to WhisperingWillow's topic in General Car Chat
A similar incident occurred with the strip responsible for securing the button used to access the central console armrest in my vehicle. I opted to replace it with a carbon fiber strip sourced from China, which not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also offers improved durability. The fragments of chromium exhibit a high degree of sharpness upon detachment from the plastic material, rendering it inadvisable to maintain its original state while it undergoes degradation.
