  1. 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!

  3. This individual presents the problems to you.
  4. Are the terminals thoroughly sanitised and free from any signs of corrosion? Consider thoroughly cleaning and lubricating all components. Then attempt a thorough recharge.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. I just encountered this situation when doing auto maintenance. It is reassuring to learn that the situation was not of a grave kind.
  8. Additionally, it is far more affordable compared to the 1080p option available at the dealership.
  9. 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.
  10. 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 😁 Thank you.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Greetings. This has detached from the underside of my BMW 1 Series 118 coupe. I am inquiring about the issue where the gear box is shifting smoothly as expected, but there is no forward motion when I release the clutch, accompanied by a grinding sound. Assistance in any kind would be very appreciated.
  14. In 2021, when I was deciding an electric vehicle (EV) to purchase, I intentionally avoided considering the EQC due to my scepticism about the technological capabilities of Mercedes-Benz's EVs at that time. The EQC seems to be a lacklustre effort by Mercedes-Benz to produce an electric vehicle that is only a secondary option. I chose the IONIQ 5 instead and it exceeded my expectations. Recently, I returned from a trip to Switzerland where the car performed exceptionally well in terms of reliability, refinement, high-speed driving on the Autoroute (110-120km/h), fast charging (175-220kWh, depending on the charger), energy consumption, and range. Hyundai successfully made a sincere endeavour in developing their electric vehicle technology, which resulted in positive outcomes for the company. Regrettably, it is disheartening to see that MB has yet to organise themselves well. I had high expectations that MB would make progress and subsequently surpass their competitors with their E-Class and S-Class electric vehicles. Which electric vehicle will I get next, at the expiration of my lease in 2025?
  15. Indeed, I do not encounter any problems with the system on the motorways, where it is specifically designed for. However, I strongly dislike its persistent pulling effect when driving on narrow A roads. Frankly, I find it quite hazardous in such situations. Consequently, I deactivate the system every time I start the car and only activate it on motorways as a precautionary measure in case I become drowsy and unintentionally doze off. It resembles a collection of 'safety' precautions devised by NCAP, which are very beneficial in the specific situations they are intended for. However, NCAP fails to thoroughly consider all the consequences before urging countries to adopt them. One current topic of discussion is the implementation of speed limiters in the Euro Zone starting in July. While this may seem beneficial, it relies heavily on accurate technological information, such as map data, to function properly. However, we are well aware that this data is often incorrect, which means it is highly likely that the system may allow you to exceed the speed limit when you shouldn't. This could lead to situations where you end up driving slowly on the motorway, causing frustration for trucks and potentially causing traffic congestion as they try to overtake you at a speed of 60 mph. However, I suppose that may be considered development.
  16. After reading the Danish brochure, which confirms the information, I have sent a message to my nearby Mazda dealer to inquire about it. Let's observe what they have to say.
  17. Now you see the reason why I hired someone to handle all the tasks for myself. Don't misunderstand me, I really like getting involved in hands-on labour and working on automobiles. However, it just appeared to be too demanding to do alongside my full-time job and my desire to fully enjoy the car. I hope that you are able to successfully resolve the matter. I have not personally experienced driving a SC mx5 without twin TB, however I have been informed that it produces a considerable amount of noise.
  18. It is impossible to programme a previously owned one. It is a component of the car's security and odometer display system, ensuring safety. The combination of electronics and water is incompatible. Unless one is fortunate enough to locate someone capable of restoring the old machine, it is unlikely to function and will likely have further failures even after cleaning. Additionally, it is not sufficient to just connect a new one and expect it to function properly. Instead, you must complete the Initial Startup procedure using online Xentry in order to synchronise it with the vehicle and programme it according to the car's specifications. Additionally, there are several electrical ducts including connections located under the floor. It is essential to thoroughly clean, replace, or repair these components, as they may significantly impede the car's ability to start. Regrettably, I must convey only negative information.
  19. It is not functional. These tools are a component of the anti-theft system. I have examined the available tools that may reset instrument clusters to their original state, but none of them are compatible with the newest generation Instrument Cluster controller. Consequently, there is currently no known method to restore them to their factory settings.
  20. From whence did you get the new module? The fact that it is 'Taught in' is peculiar, unless the diagnostics you are using have the capability to do that function (while not being able to execute the drive authorization procedure). This leads me to believe that the device in question is pre-owned. whether the cluster controller is not new but used, it is necessary to have it reset to its original state, a process known as "virginising." However, I am uncertain whether this can be done with W177 cluster controllers. After the virginising process, the controller has to be linked with the automobile and undergo coding procedures, among other steps.
  21. It seems that buyers of CX60 are receiving upgrades for both their hardware and software. Is there any indication of when or if CX90 owners might expect a similar occurrence?
  22. Dispose of the damaged automobile and purchase an intact gasoline-powered vehicle that is in good running condition, has a valid MOT for an extended period, and has a complete and continuous service history without any periods of being unlicensed or off the road. It is preferable for the vehicle to have had fewer previous owners. Ensure that the colour is not red and verify whether the rear subframe has been replaced.
