  1. Hello, I appreciate that. An excellent resource. The next thing I need to know is whether or not the 12 mm claimed increase to my ride height is something I can live with. Also, I will have a 3.5% accuracy rate in my speedo. That means I'm actually going 28.9 miles per hour, even though the speedometer indicates 30. Since it's simply a little adjustment, do you think it will cause any issues? What a relief you were to me.
  2. Salutations everyone, I own a 19-inch wheeled E400 Cabriolet. The journey is horrible 😬. 235/35/R19 tires are mounted up front. I would like to enhance the tire's profile. Would the switch to 235/40/R19 be acceptable? I have 255/30/R19 on the back tire. Are 255/35/R19 wheels an option? Alright, according to my tyre guy. He also suggested checking the forum. I recently had these wheels recut, so I'd rather not switch to 18-inch alloys. Helpful suggestions are welcome. I want to thank everyone.
  3. Diesel engines produce more torque, while petrol engines are slightly more thirsty. When diesel engines are warmed up and going on extended cruises, they become more efficient. Modern turbocharged petrol, on the other hand, isn't terrible for daily use and has far more torque than older NA petrol. With the exception of daily caravan pulling, the B58 torque should be more than enough for most applications. In my opinion, driving a diesel with a high mileage is not going to be easy. They are fantastic if you return them after three years of leasing. Good luck
  4. That's it, indeed. That sounds more like a crushing sound to me, although the hard drive analogy is true.
  5. I absolutely agree! I believe it's altering the amount and direction of air flow, but it sounds like they're using inexpensive parts to do it, and there's a noticeable plastic sliding sound that almost sounds like the dash is cracking.
  6. Hi everyone, We spent the summer leasing our first Mazda, a 25 CX-90 PHEV, and I thought I'd share my opinions after six months. Advantages: Handling. I adore this car's handling. From little vans to GMC Yukons, practically all SUVs and vans have a body roll feel. Compared to all of others, this handles MUCH better. truly appreciate how cosy and comfortable driving is. AWD Over the past week, there have been two distinct 5-inch-plus snowstorms in Pennsylvania. It performs admirably. Amazingly good! I am accustomed to 4WD since I own a 2500 Ram and have owned numerous other full-sized trucks. So far, the get-in-and-go AWD has done a great job handling snow. When there is a lot of snow, switching to off-road mode gives you a sense of confidence because it performs more like a manual gearbox, employing downshifting to slow down and requiring much less braking. Comfort: I prefer the "sit in" sensation of SUV seats over the typical sit-on feel. Style: The style is sharp overall. Driving on electricity I adore how the EV feels and how quiet it is. When the gas motor starts, it's unfortunate. I only wish we had more miles. screen and dash. I adore the shorter/wider screen, though opinions may obviously differ. Additionally, I've come to like the control knob, which at first I thought was really unpleasant. I generally enjoy the controls and dash. Cons: The dreaded EV service only took 400 kilometres to reach us. went to the shop for a month to obtain a new EV battery. The loaner was given, but we weren't very happy with it. awkward transition from EV to petrol. The back and forth is a little awkward, but I'm not sure what can be done about it. auto features including wipers and high beams. Horrible! They're just awful when compared to a lot of other automobiles, though I wish I could claim they're not amazing. particularly the wipers. When a small amount of road dirt gets on your windscreen, observe how the wipers repeatedly accelerate to full speed in an attempt to clear it. High beams are prone to confusion. Unless I'm on a vast open interstate, auto cruise control is completely unreliable, and even then, it likes to hug the queue. In general, Mazda needs to improve its automotive characteristics and appears to be lagging behind in the field of artificial intelligence and technology. Start remotely. I love the electric warm-up. In a few minutes, the car will be warm. However, there are moments when using the app is quite unpleasant. There's no reason why the factory shouldn't include a remote start button, particularly when the engine still needs to start despite a low battery. "Clicky" noises from the air conditioner are annoying. I'm not sure what that is, but it sounds like cheap plastic parts moving while the vents are changing in auto mode. We like this automobile overall. It handles well, has a pleasant riding quality, and is entertaining and useful. I sincerely hope they release a model that is entirely electric. Although I'm happy we have this car and hope there won't be any more problems, I would also really like to see Mazda make significant investments to address some of the problems.
  7. Indeed, the cost for the components alone amounts to almost $10,000.
  8. Reattach the blower immediately! Numerous blown 156s are reported on the US site I frequent, affecting both the 204 and 212 versions, which appear to be rather reliable when operating with reasonable boost levels. With a moderate modification, you can achieve an increase of 150 horsepower; beyond 1000 horsepower is possible with substantial financial investment....and a substantial amount of torque precisely where it is required! The supercharger whine enhances the auditory experience of the 156's performance.
  9. I had consistently been loyal to the RAC and frequently endorsed them, but an incident this year irrevocably altered my perspective. In May, my 12-volt battery discharged completely. I succeeded in entering the vehicle, but that was the extent of my accomplishment—I was unable to secure it. I utilised the application to solicit assistance and received a notification indicating they will contact me once a patrol was located. After some time, I was informed that someone would attend to me in around four hours. Suboptimal, although I was at home rather than stranded. This occurred at approximately 11:30. At 12:45, I received another message indicating they were exceedingly busy and would need to reschedule for the following day, which meant my car would be unlocked on a public road throughout the night. I contacted them to elucidate the issue and was informed that they will assess the matter and respond within the hour. No one made a call. Upon my subsequent contact, they acknowledged the receipt of my call but indicated that no action had been taken. In a state of despair, I resorted to Green Flag. They were unable to provide a specific time but indicated that assistance was available. At approximately 15:00, I received a message indicating that a technician will endeavour to come by 16:30. Thirty minutes later, I received a call from him indicating he would arrive in twenty minutes. He arrived punctually, and within ten minutes, my automobile was operational once more.
  10. How is it functioning?Whenever I experienced MAF failure, the vehicles operated quite poorly.
  11. If you still appreciate the vehicle, rectify the rust issues. That engine is expected to increase the mileage you have already achieved without significant issues.
  12. In many states, it is illegal to sell used cars with specific defects. Upon identifying the issue, I would recommend contacting your Attorney General.
  13. I encountered analogous issues, albeit with an older model. The driver's side would emit warm air quite immediately, whereas the passenger side took an extended period, possibly 30 to 60 minutes into the voyage. This would vex Mrs. F on wintry mornings. I replaced the water pump, which subsequently addressed the issue with the dual valve that had begun leaking and appeared to have been malfunctioning for some time. Issue resolved.
