  1. In the early hours of yesterday, I initiated the ignition of my vehicle's engine, which promptly resulted in the emission of smoke from the exhaust system. The smoke seemed to have a bluish-gray hue. The predominant color is gray. Furthermore, the odor emitted was not consistent with typical expectations. Upon the car's initiation, the emission of smoke subsided, however reappearing to a lesser extent when the engine is subjected to more revolutions. Furthermore, there were instances in which it had unintended consequences. Has anybody else have a similar situation with their Mazda vehicle? What is your perspective on the current situation? I would really appreciate any guidance or recommendations that you may have to provide. Thank you for your response.
  2. It doesn't appear like an electrical braided line to me. It looks like the oil pressure sensor in the picture.
  3. My x5's aftermarket bus works just fine. It's tough to find the 5000k, which is disappointing, but the 6000k is perfect.
  4. Okay, I appreciate the response.
  5. I considered removing the one on my driver's side but ultimately decided it would be too much trouble and instead tried my luck with the one on the passenger's side. Did I misunderstand, and is the driver's side simple to replace?
  6. As far as cars go, companies that make them are getting ideas from companies that make motorcycles. We will be driving big cars with 200 bhp engines that are 1 litre in size. The Tucson plug-in has 180 bhp, and when I test drove it, I thought it was pretty quick.
  7. How many horsepower is that? The 1.6-liter gasoline engine has 180 bhp, and the electric engine gives the car a total of 265 bhp, but it can only pull 1.6 tonnes. I thought they were going to stop using diesel engines.
  8. Now that's a lovely colour in the sun, and the metallic red is an interesting contrast.
  9. that seems to make sense what colour do you have in mind. I ordered the dark night grey, but the amazon grey looked nice, but in the light it was a greenish grey, while the dark night is more like a blue grey.
  10. The recent tyre replacement/repair discussion, which was luckily closed before someone told us tyres were our sole touch with the road, hinted at a problem that has yet to be rectified. The "best tyres go in the back," as the old saying goes, and since "best" is usually understood to mean "newest" and "most tread," this is generally accepted as good advice for driving in rainy conditions. Despite the fact that this was seemingly dismissed by all other posters in the discussion, I find this suggestion believable, having "lost the back end" of a couple of FWD cars due, I THINK, to lift off engine braking in slippery situations. To add insult to injury, I was once a passenger in a Commer van (not exactly the most stable looking vehicle) that busted a rear tyre on the A1 and no one noticed until the remains caught fire, so I'm not entirely convinced by the official advice that a rear tyre blowout is more dangerous than a front one. Extremely challenging to extinguish. This is problematic since best tyres on the back (which is valid) contradicts with best bust on the back (if valid), making a decision more difficult than it has to be. Moderators, please be assured that I am not trying to get around the ban on discussing whether or not it is preferable to buy something brand new rather than something previously owned or repaired. I want to bring up a certain question I have. Opinions can be somewhat informative. There is more value in actual experience. The Holy Grail would be citation of reliable sources. Even though it's highly technical in nature, I filed it under "discussion" because that's where it originated.
  11. The misting is the most annoying part, but I, too, plan to get one of those magical mist-sucking bag thingamajigs after using my own for a month.
  12. The dealer is correct about the window gaskets, but I've never seen the mirrors move or retract unless I manually operate them in the pas
