  1. Approximately one month ago, I received a letter from Carfax concerning a safety recall on my CX70 Turbo S Premium, indicating that the "vehicle may stall due to incorrect fuel level 7825I." I have not got any correspondence from Mazda concerning this matter. I ultimately overlooked it until recently when I elevated my car on ramps in my garage to perform my inaugural oil change at 3,000 miles, eight months into ownership. Upon removing the plastic cover to access the filter and drain plug, I observed that some oil had leaked over the underside. It was not motor oil. What on earth?.. I observed the dip originating from the front axle. On October 21, 2025, I brought it to my local dealer, who retained it for two days due to the unavailability of the required item. During my car's service, they reportedly addressed the recall and repaired the leaky axle seal, all covered under warranty. Interestingly, Mazda dispatched their "official" recall notice nearly two weeks subsequent to the repairs. Consequently, I believe all individuals impacted by this recall will ultimately receive the notification.
  2. They are experiencing problems with the oil level monitors.
  3. The most concerning issue is the warning for distracted drivers. I remained undistracted till you alerted me, Mazda. I am currently distracted by the warning notice.
  4. Indeed, I perform that action, and regeneration is successfully completed; but, it appears to occur more frequently than necessary.
  5. It must have performed this action numerous times across 181,000 miles; otherwise, it would be completely obstructed. The sole indication that my engine is regenerating is a somewhat elevated idle speed (100 to 150 rpm) and a subtly rougher exhaust sound during vigorous acceleration. May be easily overlooked.
  6. How frequently does the DPF in your OM642 regenerate? Mine appears to occur quite regularly.I have not verified, but I would estimate approximately every 300 miles. I have not been engaging in long-distance activities recently, which will not be beneficial. Does anyone know the average mileage between regenerations? Does anyone have an explanation for why it may regenerate excessively? The DPF fill levels are within typical parameters, and there are no defects detected on the ICarsoft. I have heard that intake air leaks can lead to excessive regenerations. Is there anything else? I am not really concerned, as she is already driving proficiently without any concerns; yet, it would be reassuring to have confirmation. Thank you in advance.
  7. The P button does not engage the brakes; it locks the gearbox instead. Regarding the shoes, I believe they are acceptable; nonetheless, I would opt to change them to ensure their reliability for years to come. The shoes should endure for the duration of the car's lifespan, I would presume.
  8. If you are referring to a handbrake, then no.If it is an ancient mechanical, then absolutely, park and hold.
  9. Indeed, you may own things in that manner. They cannot be combined on the same axle.
  10. It may be a figment of my brain, but our hybrid electric vehicle seems to regenerate more energy when I use sport mode to assess its speed while descending a lengthy slope.
  11. I have used Millers Diesel Power Ecomax for 35 years. Its record is self-evident to me. However, who can ascertain how it could resonate with you? I have never used premium diesel fuels. Only Millers - as instructed.
  12. New clips and retaining pins may be beneficial; ensure the pins are completely inserted into the caliper if the noise originates from the brake pad.
  13. Phened Merc is charging 250 for each flex disc - rather expensive! Do you have any suggestions for sourcing the part? The vehicle is a W219 E350.
  14. I concur with the original poster that the transmission performance seems to be deteriorating. Further undermining my own hypothesis on the potential normalcy of the noise (electronic valve pump for the 1-2 gear transition). In recent weeks, the gearbox in EV mode has caused the whole car to tremble and jitter while accelerating gently from a complete stop. It also occurs while decelerating gently to a halt. This occurs around 20% of the time (1 in 5). It resembles a novice manual transmission driver hesitating on the clutch pedal. Extremely crude.
  15. It is necessary to conduct test drives to develop an opinion, followed by locating certain users. My next test drive was the EQC, which I believed would be a high-quality car, but less energy efficient. Generally 2 to 2.5 miles per kilowatt-hour. I was unprepared for its instability. Return to the first planning stage. Acceptable for people who like such things, but not for me, thank you. Disregard any internal combustion engine driver who claims that electric vehicles are prone to catching fire, depleting their charge, or lacking maintainability. Generally, they are speaking nonsensically. Dealers would be pleased to allow you to test their electric vehicles. They are eager to facilitate their sale.
  16. If you are selling the vehicle, why concern yourself with future implications?
  17. The top mountings of the dampers you referenced are entirely different, irrespective of their functional aspects.
  18. The system does not regulate ride height; it is designed for active damping, whereby the solenoid adjusts the suspension stiffness based on the control setting. The air suspension system regulates ride height. It pertains not to off-roading, but to calibrating the damper properties for on-road driving.
  19. Corrosion may be present on the terminal connection at the fuel tank end.
  20. It is reassuring to hear that; I may exert significant force on it tomorrow, as it cannot cause any detriment.
  21. The first action I took was to tap the gauge; being used to analogue dials, I found it ineffective, since it is now a digital or at least an electronic gauge. Perhaps I should tap with more force!
  22. Thank you for the information; my Magna is a 1998 model, but it is likely identical to the 1999 version. I will examine the tank connection to see whether there is a short circuit; however, I suspect the issue may reside inside the fuel gauge itself, since it consistently displays a reading, which might indicate a problem behind the instrument panel. It is difficult to believe that a little distortion of the gasoline gauge might result in battery depletion; yet, I can manage by recharging it every third or fourth day. Thank you once more; I will assess the outcome.
  23. I only saw it a few days ago, although it may have been occurring since the drain issue began, which has persisted for almost six months. Could there be a malfunction in the fuel tank gauge or float?
