  2. 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.
  3. It is a removable component that secures using a key. Does not impact eco pro, etc., when the electrical connections are disengaged.
  4. 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.
  5. Indeed, it reverts to the normal stock setting.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Valid observations. Concerning the pawl, several years ago, my former neighbour collided with our stationary Vito, which was not engaged in the parking brake, with sufficient force to displace it significantly. I anticipated the pawl to be compromised, but it was intact. He was inebriated; he ultimately parked his vehicle against the front of their residence.
  11. I attempted to start my 2011 E91 320d N47 at my mother-in-law's residence last night. The dashboard lights were functional; however, when pressing the start button, there was no response. I did not see any clicking sound, just weak, typical sounds emanating from behind the dashboard, but nothing more occurred. She drove home in her Vauxhall Agila. Returning this morning with the spare key, the code reader, and other tools. It is at this moment that one reflects on the preceding 2 to 3 weeks, recalling that on two occasions the device failed to activate. Initially, it was attributed to insufficient key insertion, since reinserting the key resulted in successful ignition. However, this time, it did not start at all. The battery is functioning properly; nevertheless, I will inspect the positive lines at their departure from the boot and ensure the battery box is dry, as well as scan for diagnostic codes. Is there anything further I should attempt while I am there before I provide the codes? Greetings, team!
  12. It is becoming prevalent as a fraudulent scheme. The crooks likely do this several times daily.
  13. It is necessary to retrieve problem codes using the diagnostic equipment. Common issues include wear in valve bodies and dual clutch units. Given the age of the vehicle, you should have completed three gearbox oil maintenance by now.
  14. Fifteen may be quite excessive unless you were in the luxury sector and top grade. None of my previous vehicles have memory outside mirrors.
