  1. ....but, it is possible that you may. I was experiencing starting and EML troubles with one of my vehicles.The leads were satisfactory; but, upon closer examination, there was some green discolouration at the ends. When I removed the insulation from the ground lead, it revealed a deteriorated, green and black substance that disintegrated in my hands. It is remarkable that it functioned at all. New leads resolved all my concerns. Merely a small amount for general eBay items. Examine the junction where the ground attaches to the body, ensuring both surfaces are polished to a gleaming metal finish before reattaching. Additionally, inspect the periphery of its insulation. Certain vehicles, particularly some ALFAs, benefit from an additional engine-to-body ground wire. Additionally, cleanse the battery terminals and clamps, particularly if they exhibit a dark or black hue.
  2. If you possess 18" wheels, an 18" steel space saver wheel is required to accommodate the subwoofer. An extended bolt is provided, which passes through the subwoofer and wheel, securing into the boot floor where a welded nut is present. Disconnect the subwoofer lead, remove the subwoofer, and position the wheel accordingly. Subsequently, place the subwoofer within the wheel and fasten the assembly using the extended bolt. The lead will trail over the side of the tire and connect to the subwoofer.
  3. According to my knowledge, the guarantee includes Mazda roadside assistance. I am uncertain about the maximum distance they can tow it.
  4. Rely on the dipstick, disregard the sensor. The dipstick provides a tangible measurement; unless the tube is damaged or the dipstick is not fully inserted, it cannot yield inaccurate results. As previously stated, ensure that the oil has fully drained into the sump prior to measurement. Both of my vehicles have 230,000 miles, and there is no issue with the oil taking an extended period to drain into the sump.
  5. Decline, I have no knowledge regarding the matter. I assume the wife would require her own. My Toyota account is also connected to the vehicle. I have not attempted it, so it may be prudent to await a response from someone who has succeeded.
  6. It is likely a late first-generation C-HR rather than an early second-generation model. The 1st Generation C-HR lacks capability for remote climate control and the ability to associate the profile with the smart key fob. Your profile can be connected to your smartphone using the My Toyota account/app.
  7. The reason for their malfunction is that individuals operating automatic vehicles neglect to engage the handbrake, resulting in internal rusting of the drum. I hardly utilise mine, but occasionally I will engage it briefly and drive until I reach the road to clean the drum.
  8. This type of handbrake often features a lip on the interior of the drum section of the disc. To remove the shoes, it is advisable to utilise a small flat-blade screwdriver through a wheel bolt hole and retract the adjuster. It is uncomplicated, although requires some effort to identify the adjuster through the bolt hole. When installing the replacement components, reverse the process and modify the shoes using the adjuster rather than the handbrake cable.
  9. Are you suggesting that a "Vocal" option bypasses Motorways by selecting or deselecting the Avoid List?

  11. I would choose the Michelins. Superior treadwear rating and enhanced load rating. The tyre rack indicates that these tires are appropriate with the CX 90 PHEV.
  12. It is a removable component that secures using a key. Does not impact eco pro, etc., when the electrical connections are disengaged.
  13. I acquired a 13-pin electrical connector for my G30 Thule carrier a few years ago and am extremely satisfied with it. However, it is not inexpensive. If I recall correctly, around £850. All necessary code and a substitute bumper bar have been included. (Eco Pro mode operates differently when the towbar electrics are connected; for instance, it will cease coasting for safety considerations). I acquired mine from Towbar Express.
  14. Indeed, it reverts to the normal stock setting.
  15. If you have replaced the gasoline filter incorrectly, rectify the issue before deleting or remapping; the sequence is crucial. Furthermore, no reputable tuner would modify a vehicle with existing issues.A competent tuner would identify issues, rectify them, and then perform tuning.
