A handful of fundamentals: Make sure the battery connections are secure (now that you can feel them), and then find out how much power the alternator is generating. Is there a start/stop function? Is the right battery being blamed? If the battery isolator is malfunctioning, for example, the error codes mentioned before might indicate it.

Come prepared, since it is often rather packed. Because it is so large, there is a lot of walking involved. Remember to bring a hat or sunscreen. The weather is notoriously hard to forecast. Since they began, I have only failed to attend three of them.

No issue It is regrettable that many individuals adopt a generalised perspective regarding the features an automobile should possess, often influenced by information that does not accurately reflect the specific model or year of the vehicles they own. It is a common error and misconception to make such an assumption; yet, upon realisation, one often reflects, 'Oh dear, I should have investigated further.' In the past, it involved using an engine to warm it up while attempting to avoid excessive breathing that could fog the glass.

Assistance required for replacing the front suspension spring.
mrnobady replied to Needsnewtyres2's topic in General Car Chat
I am uncertain about what is misaligned for you, but when replacing shocks and springs, I frequently utilise a jack beneath the hub to elevate it and facilitate movement until proper alignment is achieved. Best of luck. -
Shock and wheel enhancement: what are my optimal choices?
mrnobady replied to another_clean_sheet's topic in General Car Chat
My 2023 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle is equipped with Koni shocks and H&R springs. The car no longer features a gelatin suspension, preventing rear seat passengers and cargo in the boot from being jostled over speed bumps. However, it is far from pleasant; the intensity of each road bump is significantly greater than that of any other Mazda I have driven. The suspension is rigid, potentially excessive for certain individuals. However, I still prefer it in comparison to Gelly "E" factory shocks. Driving on smooth roads is quite pleasurable. Cornering and braking present no issues whatsoever. I initially had 18-inch wheels with Toyo tires but upgraded to 20-inch wheels with Bridgestone tires solely for aesthetic purposes. Bridgestone tires are much subpar. On 18-inch wheels, the Koni's provide a significantly superior ride compared to 20-inch wheels with the aforementioned tires—resulting in a quieter and more comfortable experience. I have now updated to 20" front wheels equipped with Pirelli Scorpion Zero all-season tires, and I immediately notice the difference. More subdued, gentler, and superior. Your options are limited in this situation. Aftermarket items are exclusively Koni for shock absorbers and Eibach alongside H&R for springs. That is all. Some Japanese items exist; however, they do not officially support PHEVs. It was not a year ago. Additionally, there is an air suspension option available for a substantial cost, which can effectively resolve the suspension problem. HERE An alternative is the Mazda springs and shocks from the 2025 model. Mazda asserts that they are incompatible, however that is erroneous. Conduct a test drive of the 2025 PHEV; if it meets your approval, record its VIN (preferably a newer model) and proceed to the dealership to purchase the whole set of the latest shocks and springs. You will receive the same ride as the 2025 model. -
Occasionally, you may experience a slight influx of cold air as the air conditioning attempts to cool the cabin under heated conditions. However, get the cooling system inspected, as it is likely the issue.

The original poster was present for around five minutes and has not been seen since. Ideally on a VW platform where he can receive additional assistance.

Preliminary proofreading before to posting on a VW forum would be beneficial. Although we all commit typographical errors, this particular post is challenging to decipher. I hope the "egg gasket" does not require a substantial expenditure. 😒👍

Preliminary (optimistically) sales inquiries…
mrnobady replied to ElectricEclipse's topic in General Car Chat
After reviewing many recent examples, I concur with the price of around £2,000. Your item is aesthetically pleasing, and the hue is exceptional; it should be positioned prominently ahead of all the silver ones -
Wheels from C43 installed on C220 4MATIC
mrnobady replied to BENZE220AMG's topic in General Car Chat
said that if you invested the time to peruse my content. The front wheels will protrude 10mm more than your current ones. The 4MATIC does not alter the wheel specifications. -
In the Sportage HEV, the paddles are used for gear shifting. The charging process is mostly automated; however, using lift and coast techniques together with moderate braking may enhance battery recharging. When a route is programmed in the satellite navigation system, you may intermittently get a 'Coast' notification on the dashboard, prompting you to pull off the accelerator and coast. The PHEV may use the paddles for regenerative braking. A owner of a Sportage PHEV may verify.

Following an instance of 'limp mode,' my E350 had an engine repair and health assessment, with no cautions reported by the technician. They said that the issue may have resulted from a 'stuck EGR' and recommended being cautious about fuel purchases (which I already do) and use Dipitane. I am inquiring about the safety of this product and if anybody has prior experience with it. Thank you in advance

Online Vehicle Inspections - Am I Expired?

Seat Mii, Volkswagen Up, and Škoda Citigo All originating from 2012. Comes to mind here. Picanto dimensions, offered in both internal combustion engine and electric vehicle variants. Exceptionally efficient electric vehicle. Considering Kia EV's reputation with the Soul and Niro, neither of which is built on a specific EV platform (2019) 🤷♂️

I found it rather practical to rest my elbow on it while using the monitor.

I have only driven 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th generation vehicles, therefore I am unable to assist, unfortunately.

Repair mirror chrome finish on CLS Panamera Grille
mrnobady replied to BENZE220AMG's topic in General Car Chat
If the vehicle in your profile image is a CLS, I am very certain that that generation did not originate from the factory with the Panamericana grille. If such is the case, it is probable that it is an aftermarket grille, and a replacement will be comparatively inexpensive. -
automobile combustion involving the Porsche
mrnobady replied to VVC-Geeza's topic in General Car Chat
It is disheartening to read this; it is unfortunate when a vehicle of such calibre is subject to the caprices of insurance companies. I am sceptical about the realism of their cash promise. Do you own GAP insurance for it? -
It is located inside the rack, necessitating the removal of the rack and subsequent access.
-
In that scenario, I am rather certain that the rack on the Z4 is a frequent cause of steering angle issues and loss of speed signal owing to the failure of the torque sensor.
-
It seems you may have a problem if the SAS is not interfacing with the stability control, since I anticipate the speed signal will traverse the same network. Consider it the conclusion of the FlexRay bus. Which automobile is it?
-
If the DSC is generating a speed indication, I would suspect a malfunction in the EPS control module. I presume there are no recorded CAN communication faults?
