  1. With a few obstacles, yes. While the m271 is functionally identical, an additional ecu or tuning of the existing one is required for safety reasons. Also included are all the necessary components from the 250 series, such as the turbo, accessory bits, and more. The only way to find out is to do it step-by-step through trial and error. Verify if the higher specification is required for certain sensors and fuel system components. The best course of action would be to talk to an MB techie or look up MB part numbers online so you can compare them. It was a real ordeal when I had to swap out the diesel TDI for the S line petrol specification; I was completely unsupported by the official documentation and had to handle the process alone. These days, service dealers have these service books on hand because everything is sold on webpages. Just so you know, my project is completely unrelated to what you are trying to accomplish. Here is my take on your current project, though. With more experience and insight, I'm sure other users here could help you out.
  2. Is that a policy applicable nationwide for Auto Zone or specific to Ohio? The obligatory "core" fee in New York amounts to $5.
  3. Due to my conviction in PREVENTIVE Maintenance, I seized the opportunity of the Toyota Parts Labour Day sale to purchase a new 12v battery, replacing the original one (which continues to function impeccably) in my TAH manufactured on 4/15. Acquired it yesterday; I merely need to find the time to install it. What should be done with the obsolete one? They did not impose the customary battery core/exchange fee on me.
  4. Do not question it; you will not know internally unless it has been disclosed or someone has reverse-engineered it elsewhere.
  5. It didn't work out so well, in my opinion, when the government planned to "smash" the human smuggling organisations. The media, as usual, is making a headline out of nothing.
  6. I run 255/85s on my lifted (by 2 inches) yet perfectly serviceable (at normal ride height) vehicle.
  7. Hello everyone. I am thrilled to be joining you as a Mazda 3 proprietor. Now in my fourth week of ownership, I am gradually becoming more acquainted with my scarlet Mazda 3 1.6d Venture Edition. I would have preferred the Dolphin Grey, but I had to consider the vehicle's age, mileage, price, distance from the dealership, etc. This Mazda is the newest vehicle I've ever possessed, as all of my previous vehicles are over 10 years old. Consequently, I must state that I am appreciating the 'luxury' devices such as climate control, auto lighting, built-in satellite navigation, parking sensor, etc. I have not yet had the opportunity to utilise the heated seats! I am also quite impressed by the car's sound system, which is of much higher quality than I anticipated. The DPF problem is a concern for me as the owner of this vehicle. My daily commute distance is thirty miles. In addition, I travel distances of 100 miles or more every two weeks. After perusing numerous forum and online posts, I am still uncertain as to whether this is sufficient for regeneration. I've been attempting to keep the engine above 1,750 rpm out of precaution. Regardless, here is an image of my pride and delight. If you have any advice for a prospective Mazda owner, please share it with me. Cheers
