Could someone elucidate the concept of Daytime Running Lights?
Rudy7831 replied to Rudy7831's topic in General Car Chat
Are we talking about the same Trim here? shows the corner LED glowing which I assume is exclusive on the Inline 6 devices. My OP refers to the CX-70 PHEV Premium Plus, for which Mazda has already included faux lighting in the rear lid section of the tail lights and the front corner of the headlights. So is it that these DRL only functions as predicted for the Inline 6 models? -

What a poor design. Every day I learn something I despise about this automobile. The arrangement is expected to be reversed. -
PHEV Premium Plus Could someone elucidate the operational mechanism of Daytime Running Lights (DRL)? Checking the DRL box on the Infotainment Console doesn't appear to accomplish anything. Are the headlights activated as daytime running lights rather than the slender LEDs in the grille? My headlights activate during daylight while the light switch is set to AUTO. I assumed the thin white LEDs in the grill were the DRLs and serve as amber indication.

Recently acquired P250 from the original Evoque
Rudy7831 replied to CyberMage's topic in General Car Chat
I hope you both will like your new vehicles; I am certain the latest Evoque will surpass your cherished previous model. I'm pleased your wife like the Volvo; I adore my XC60βit's an exceptional vehicle, and I am attempting to get Mrs. M to consider an XC40 as well. Best wishes and good fortune. -
If I Recall Correctly The passenger airbag indicator remains on while the seat is unoccupied. The indicator indicates that the airbag is nonfunctional when a rear-facing kid seat is installed.

Steering malfunction after bolt recall completion
Rudy7831 replied to DreamCatcher88's topic in General Car Chat
Resembles Kazblonde14's experience shared on the Main Message Centre recently. -
Yesterday, I took the CX-80 for a test drive, and I noticed a significant difference compared to the earlier CX-60. The CX-80 exhibited significantly improved bounce behaviour, reduced shift shock, enhanced damping, and greater quietness. The dealer service provided me with documentation indicating that the upcoming CX-60 will feature similar enhancements, leading me to believe we can anticipate an upgraded version.The old mechanic is making questionable statements, yet only the most devoted followers seem to trust him.

The issue appears to be that the unusual noise and significant vibration that arose when restarting the engine by pressing the accelerator after it was halted with i-stop could not be resolved.
-
The quietness, riding comfort, shifting experience, and other general characteristics that were unfavourable in the original model will be enhanced to align with the CX-80. The undesirable oscillatory behaviour resulting from the rear's vertical movement, which is challenging to stabilise, will be mitigated. The engine restart from i-stop in MHEV cars will transition from using the assist drive motor to employing the starter motor. Orders will commence in Japan in November.

Thank you for the clarification. Have you achieved any progress, my friend?

In which nation do you reside, Mitev? Apologies, I do not recognise the flag.
-
I concur with your commendable recommendations. This issue is not related to the battery; it seems to be more severe and suggests that the gearbox need professional intervention. Is there a specialist in automatic gearboxes in your nation who might serve as an optimal beginning point, in addition to using Ross Tech scanning?

I had a same problem initially, attributed to a broken tab on the bottom of the filler cap. Replaced the cap; the issue is resolved. Do not leave the cap overnight!

An alarm is activated and immobilises the car entirely.

Are the terminals thoroughly sanitised and free from any signs of corrosion? Consider thoroughly cleaning and lubricating all components. Then attempt a thorough recharge. -
Still no juice after five weeks of sitting
Rudy7831 replied to Needsnewtyres2's topic in General Car Chat
A trickle charge is distinct from a full charge in its ability to revive a dead battery. You should be completely recovered after doing a complete leap. Visit either Costco or Amazon and purchase one of the compact models that have received positive feedback. They are consistently convenient to own in any garage, regardless of whether you engage in automotive maintenance or not. -
Problem of misfire on a 2008 Audi S5 with a 4.2 V8 engine.
Rudy7831 replied to CelestialSeeker's topic in General Car Chat
If you are using the original injectors, it is advisable to consider changing them. It seems to be a frequent problem that arises after individuals have removed carbon buildup and continue to have difficulties. Swapping plugs and coils is a simple way to determine whether the problem persists, however addressing injectors requires accessing them behind the manifold, which is more complicated. -
I just encountered this situation when doing auto maintenance. It is reassuring to learn that the situation was not of a grave kind.

Inquiry about Dongar adapter and hardwiring
Rudy7831 replied to Rudy7831's topic in General Car Chat
Additionally, it is far more affordable compared to the 1080p option available at the dealership. -
Inquiry about Dongar adapter and hardwiring
Rudy7831 replied to Rudy7831's topic in General Car Chat
Thank you for the responses. I shall use the place according to colinallcars. The image I used was obtained by a rapid search on Google for the sportage fuse box. As I have not yet acquired the vehicle, I deemed it unwise to begin inspecting fuse covers at the auto dealership. The chosen dash cam model is the Viofo A139. -
Greetings The Dongar adapter seems to be a convenient way for powering a dash cam. However, I suspect that this technique does not support the dash cam's parking function. If I want to utilise the conventional hardwire approach, would the appropriate fuse type be micro2? May I use these fuse positions for continuous (shown by the red arrow) and ignition (indicated by the blue arrow)? Engaging in sports activities throughout the weekend π Thank you.

Utilise piggyback wiring to connect a dashcam.
Rudy7831 replied to DreamCatcher88's topic in General Car Chat
The most optimal option is to get a Dongar, since it is far simpler and does not need any additional wiring, save for the connection between the rear view mirror and the camera. -
All the cars we have are older models: a 2013 Range Rover Evoque with 70,000 kilometres, a 2000 Porsche Boxster with 80,000 kilometres, and a 2005 Mini Cooper with 70,000 kilometres. These vehicles are reliable and their spare parts are readily available and affordable. Additionally, they retain their value rather well when sold.
