  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Are you suggesting that a "Vocal" option bypasses Motorways by selecting or deselecting the Avoid List?

  8. 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.
  9. It is a removable component that secures using a key. Does not impact eco pro, etc., when the electrical connections are disengaged.
  10. 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.
  11. Indeed, it reverts to the normal stock setting.
  12. 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.
  13. My personal choice is premium diesel; nonetheless, it is obviously more costly than including Dipitane or other diesel fuel additives. Nonetheless, this may constitute an effective technique moving ahead; however, if the EGR is obstructed, it must be removed and thoroughly cleaned or replaced. Fuel additives may temporarily resolve the issue.
  14. There is nothing amiss with that. Many contemporary vehicles will not initiate unless the brake pedal is engaged. I possess two contemporary compact tractors, both equipped with hydraulic transmissions, akin to automatic systems. They possess several safety features related to engine ignition, involving foot brake(s). Occupancy of the driver's seat Transmission range selector Selection of PTO Drive Power Take-Off (PTO) clutch Neither party seems concerned about the parking brake, however 🙂 One of these requires the gearbox to be in neutral for ignition, regardless of the foot brake status. Regrettably, the range selection lacks synchronisation, necessitating minor adjustments of the tractor using the brake to go between High, Medium, Low, and Neutral gears. Failing to pick neutral prior to shutting off the engine may result in an inability to shift into neutral for subsequent restarts. The other vehicle is equipped with a synchroniser on the selector, but it does not require being in neutral to initiate: :doh: However, the brake must be engaged.
  15. Contemporary vehicles, like many modern Mercedes, automatically activate the parking brake, limiting user discretion. However, with older models (e.g., our Vito and SL), I seldom engage the parking brake as they are typically parked on level terrain.
