In addition to exceeding the maximum width recommended for the conventional rear rim, the use of a tire that is 20mm wider with a profile of 30 will result in an approximate increase of 6mm in the rolling diameter. The potential disparity between the front and back of the vehicle may exceed the tolerance level of the traction control system, hence causing dissatisfaction.

The hyperlink provided seems to be non-functional and perhaps defective. I attempted to rectify the issue in order to see the phenomenon you described, although my efforts yielded an outcome consistent with the red-X error you are experiencing. Based on my conjecture, it is likely that a 2001 model would be equipped with a 2.0 or 2.2L engine sourced from a 626, given the MZR engines were not yet available to the general market at that time, particularly inside the United States. To the best of my knowledge, the engine series in question was globally launched in 2003. It is possible that your vehicle is equipped with an older engine that utilizes a cam belt and is classified as a non-interference engine, meaning that internal damage may occur if the belt breaks. However, for a car manufactured in the year 2000 or later, with a mileage of 54,000, this should not be a significant cause for worry. I would express more concern when the vehicle reaches a mileage range of 90,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Given that you own a European specification vehicle, it is important to note that individuals who are citizens of the United States or North America may not possess the necessary expertise or resources to provide direct assistance in this matter. It is not that we would want not to, but rather that we are unable to do so. In order to locate the desired item, it may be necessary to do a search at a nearby automotive parts retailer or explore online marketplaces such as eBay UK. I would want to provide my perspective on the matter.

The observed phenomenon exhibits notable dissimilarities when compared to the concept of premacy. The Mazda 3 vehicle is known for its exceptional durability, since it is equipped with a chain-driven mechanism and utilizes 5w-30 semi-synthetic Dexelia oil. This specific kind of oil can be conveniently purchased at a Mazda parts counter. It is important to note that this oil is suitable for all Mazda 3 models except for those equipped with diesel engines. Regarding the availability of a manual, it is worth noting that our manuals are now only accessible online. Previously, they were distributed on compact discs (C.D.), but it has come to our attention that some information included therein may be inaccurate. In the event that you want any assistance or information, we recommend consulting your local Mazda dealer, as they should be able to provide the necessary support. Should you have any inquiries, please feel free to reach out to me, and I will endeavor to assist you to the best of my abilities. The email address provided by the user is [email protected].

Greetings, it is important to get a cam belt as well as a newly enhanced tensioner, complete with a tensioner spring. The newly designed tensioner incorporates a rivet that passes through the aperture. It is advisable to purchase Mazda Genuine components. The fuel filter is located in close proximity to the transmission, and its replacement process may initially provide a challenge. However, with repeated experience, the task becomes very straightforward. Tappets, namely of the hydraulic bucket shim kind, serve the purpose of measuring the clearance between the tappet and the bucket shim. Wishing you the best of luck.

The installation of the remote software update is not occurring.

Greetings. There are many discussions on this platform on a recurring issue, whereby the installation process occurs at a later time, contingent upon the device's perception of an adequate level of battery charge. -
The MAF in your vehicle is shown below for your perusal. To the best of my ability, I've indicated the locations of the IAT and MAF cables. Among them, the IAT stands out the most. This blurry closeup reveals the MAF cables embedded deep within the sensor. You can see them well with a flashlight. Two of these may be found below ground. The two you can't see are the ones who matter the most. Brake cleaner should be freely sprayed on both the wheels and the IAT. If you want a more targeted spray, use the little straw that comes with it. Examine the IAT from both the air filter side and the engine side when you initially remove the sensor. The side that isn't covered by an air cleaner will likely be a dull gray or black color. You need to make sure that all sides are polished and spotless. Wait 5 minutes for the sensor to dry before replacing it. If you can't get the OE clean, expect to pay roughly $137. For aftermarket and remanufactured part costs, visit www.autoecms.com.

To help you better understand the MAF you will be cleaning, I will send you a photo of one first thing in the morning.

True, what you say. When the back O2 sensor heater circuit is faulty, the code P1141 is thrown. The engine may enter closed loop and reduce emissions more quickly thanks to the heater, which helps warm up the sensors more quickly. However, the back O2 has no effect on the fuel/air ratio. Its only function is to help the engine computer track how well the pre-warm cat converter is doing its job. The PCM relies on the front O2 sensor to determine the exhaust mixture and make fuel adjustments appropriately. It's quite improbable that the code is to blame for the poor performance and gas mileage. Instead, check the mass air flow sensor located above the air filter. Has a terrible track record with the issues you're mentioning. Some people report success after cleaning these sensors, however I believe yours is protected by an extended guarantee for 7 years or 70,000 miles. Special Service Program #56 is where you may get your extended warranty.

The transmission automatically selects Sport mode.

Howdy, folks! Please excuse me if this post is in the incorrect forum. I've just joined up. Can I replace the engine in my 2005 C180k W293 M271.946 automatic for a manual by switching out the flywheel, clutch, and torque converter? -
Although using an ozone machine can aid with odor removal, a thorough cleaning is also recommended. Professional detail shops in the area should be contacted. I recommend looking for evaluations on Google with images.

My wife ran into a bollard, is she hurt badly?
Starcar2022 replied to torque2me's topic in General Car Chat
Don't visit the merchant! Your insurance company or a nearby body shop. In most cases, having the work done at a local body shop will only cost you the amount of your insurance deductible and won't affect your no-claims bonus or driving record in any way. Usually, they may be removed, along with dents, misalignment of the wing and door, and a buffing. They can also give you an estimate for a new wing if you need one.... -
Is the Hyundai Tucson Ultimate PHEV a smart buy?

I'm not sure of the BHP, but it's a huge vehicle to move about for a 1.6-liter engine, which is why I'm selling my 1.5-liter MH HS PHEV. -

That looks great in the sun, and the metallic red is another option. -

Is the Hyundai Tucson Ultimate PHEV a smart buy?
Starcar2022 replied to Starcar2022's topic in General Car Chat
Hello, have you bought one or are you planning to order one? I bought mine in January—an ultimate plug-in with a tech pack—and was told it would arrive in June. Then we got emails saying it would arrive in April, then May, and then June. The most recent email said there are no delivery dates—it will arrive when it's ready. So, if you order the car, you might get it in six to nine months, if that makes sense. As for the car, it's a good one, but like most new cars, its software has some bugs that need to be fixed. like the time and date not being saved in the car or other places. -
I am actively contemplating replacing my 7-month-old MG HS PHEV with a Hyundai Tucson Ultimate PHEV. I've read so many reviews but would appreciate user feedback on the new Tucson if feasible.

Thank you for your replies. I'm relieved that it's not just a matter of bad window seals. I'll try the temperature control on auto as suggested by Misar; I believe this may be the answer.

I just purchased my first Mazda 3, a late 2011 1.6 Ts, and I'm really satisfied with it so far. There are a few things that may or may not be issues that I would want to hear from any current owners. The electric door mirrors intermittently run soon after beginning for no obvious reason, and when any of the windows are opened, the seals do not remove either rain from the outside or mist from the inside. I contacted with my dealer, who said that both of these things are common for a Mazda, but nothing of my prior vehicles did any of these things. What are your thoughts?
