Hello everyone, I recently acquired my 2025 CX-70, and it has been excellent thus far. However, I received a recall notification via email yesterday indicating a potential stalling issue related to fuel level, with the cure now unavailable. I enquired with the dealer, and they informed me that there are currently no records in Mazda's system; nonetheless, they will monitor the situation. I feel rather apprehensive, particularly over the "stall fuel level" notification, as it suggests the possibility of becoming trapped. I have a road trip planned, and the prospect of this occurrence is troubling me. The email lacked sufficient data, and upon reviewing VIN decoders and Mazda's equipment list for my vehicle, I found no mention of this issue. I am not attempting to panic; the vehicle operates adequately and I have not had any problems thus far. However, I wish to remain proactive and be informed about potential concerns to monitor. Has anyone had a comparable recall on their CX-70 or identified a similar issue in advance? I would value your insights on how you addressed the situation and any recommendations for verifying its resolution or enquiries I should pose to the dealer upon my visit.

After an hour, I observed that the oil level is slightly below the minimum threshold. It perplexes me that after being left overnight, it appears approximately three-quarters full, although it is not saturated with oil; only a faint outline is visible. This is the appearance after one hour of leaving it. Completely devoid

No concerns, I will reassess in thirty minutes. Is the Idrive typically precise? The vehicle has accumulated 200,000 kilometres, which raises my concern regarding the functionality of the sensor or a potential malfunction.

My Idrive indicates that my oil levels are three-quarters full, although the dipstick displays nearly empty when the engine is somewhat warm. When completely cold, the dipstick indicates around three-quarters full; nonetheless, the oil level is not as high as I would prefer. Is the Idrive trustworthy? Why is there no oil on the dipstick when the engine is slightly warm? I am apprehensive about overfilling, hence I find myself at a crossroads. Certainly, the IDrive will inform me if I am indeed running short. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. I own a 2012 C250 AMG with 80,000 miles. My vehicle entered limp mode yesterday. While attempting to overtake on the freeway, I experienced a lack of power, and the engine management light illuminated. Do you have any suggestions on where to begin my investigation?

Recommendations for purchase preparation?

It is hoped that you have not yet revealed to the dealer your preference for a certain colour. -

Disc sizes for the 2016 Picanto
WhisperingWillow replied to WhisperingWillow's topic in General Car Chat
Thank you. I am now attempting to locate the VIN plate. I will search on Google; so far, I have identified the positions of the chassis number and engine number, but I have not yet discovered the VIN plate. -
I own a 2016 KIA Picanto SR7 and want new brake discs and pads. Typically, brake parts retailers are reliable; entering the registration number yields a range of options. Nonetheless, it seems there are many disc diameters for my vehicle: 256, 231, 234, 252. How can I get the appropriate size discs without removing the existing ones for measurement? Is there anybody that can assist?

Kia Introduces EV4 and Concept EV2
WhisperingWillow replied to WhisperingWillow's topic in General Car Chat
I assume it was mostly a financial and technological matter. The general public expects compact automobiles to be less expensive than bigger ones; nevertheless, from a manufacturing perspective, the production costs of a Picanto and a Sorento are likely comparable. The expense of one must support the other. Integrating all the electrical components into a compact vehicle is likely more challenging than in a larger vehicle, which offers much more room. The capricious public want an economical compact vehicle capable of long-distance travel. While it is acknowledged that tiny cars are primarily intended for short urban journeys, instances of such vehicles traversing the highway are not uncommon. -

Kia Introduces EV4 and Concept EV2
WhisperingWillow replied to WhisperingWillow's topic in General Car Chat
According to Autocar, the phrase "to complete the EV lineup" may be quite arrogant, since Kia is considering the introduction of a compact (Picanto-sized) EV1. -

Kia has introduced the EV4 and the prototype EV2 to complete its electric vehicle lineup. I never anticipated the resurgence of bench seats! I intend to retain my current possessions for the foreseeable future.

Hello, I am considering removing my rear airbag suspension. If I install coil springs and disconnect the compressor fuse, would this trigger a warning light on the dashboard? Any advice would be much appreciated. 👍

I am not very fond of the newest Shogun models, among others. I could regulate its use somewhat to address the ML's deficiencies. I want to avoid a continuous occurrence of ball joint and steering problems. Today's very damp area discovered when extracting a lay flat pipe from a new batter. This is the first instance in which I have been completely immobilised. Fortunately, my most effective extraction apparatus was readily available. -

I own several vehicles that surpass the capabilities of a Unimog; yet, they are not very useful for transportation purposes.Amusement expressed through laughter. My budget is at the ML level; hence, the G-Wagen is regretfully outside my financial capacity. To be fair, there are several machine learning models available that I could experiment with, incurring no risk if I were to damage them. I do not want to damage my pristine black ML420. -

I am indifferent to low range and seldom engage the centre differential on the Pajero. I am mostly interested about its durability under such circumstances. Ball joints and overall capacity to endure harsh treatment. The Pajero excels in a certain area. Significantly superior than the other Land Rovers we have had.
