  1. The temperature gauge indicates a consistent reading; nevertheless, I suspect the issue lies with either the thermostat or the heat sensor. Having driven several older vehicles, including my first used car from 1958, I can manage this situation. Modern vehicles exhibit superior performance; today, at -17°C, the windscreen was clean by the time I arrived at Tim Hortons. I want to schedule an appointment with the dealer for repairs, since their expertise is specialised in Mazda, and they may be familiar with the issue I am experiencing. I am a former marine engineer, and we often discussed our profession over a few drinks (rum), and your contributions were always appreciated. much appreciated Salutations
  2. This year, my 2021 CX-30 Turbo fails to generate warm air as it previously did; while parked and revving the engine, the air becomes much warmer but rapidly cools when idling. Dealer help will take a couple of weeks or more. Therefore, I intend to tolerate this issue and have it examined at my next service in the summer.
  3. I had a similar misfire in my vehicle and identified the issue as the coil pack by following the aforementioned steps. Replaced the coil pack, and the issue is likely resolved.
  4. I am not an expert, but you have several error codes, not only the misfire codes. Have you ever cleaned them? Concerning the misfire, I would interchange the coil packs between the two cylinders and see whether the error shifts. If not, proceed to do the same procedure with the spark plugs. The most prevalent causes of misfits, and my first focus.
  5. I measured the battery voltage before to beginning, which was 12 volts. After starting, it charged at 14.8 volts. Upon switching off, the voltage decreased to 12.4 volts. I have recently connected a Bluetooth battery monitor, which indicates a battery percentage of 54%, whereas BimmerLink displays 77%.
  6. The automobile starts without issue after around 2-3 minutes. I just purchased a Bluetooth battery monitor; however, as previously said, I conducted diagnostics using Bimmerlink and an Autel IM508 Pro. All errors, save for the fuel pressure sensor, have cleared.
  7. This is the second Bosch battery from Tayna; the first fresh one had a cell failure, and they replaced it.
  8. Are there any known modules on the E64 630i that may be impacted by low temperatures? My vehicle has a delay in activation upon unlocking, characterised by a central electronics failure. Initially, the windows are inoperative, and the engine fails to crank. After about two minutes, it eventually cranks and starts. Any assistance would be appreciated.
  9. Refrain from applying any surface treatment to the rotors. Standard braking is unlikely to eliminate rust immediately; many forceful stops should have that effect. The primary issue is the mobility of the pads; verify that the calliper pins and other components are not corroded and can move freely.
  10. My ERG is disabled, but the catalytic converter has been removed. Does that include the removal of the cat?
  11. Promising concept; yet, ... There is little smoke; in fact, it is almost imperceptible. Smoke only occurs after I have not accelerated in third gear for an extended period; however, after a few bursts of speed, it dissipates completely, even in the headlights of the trailing vehicle. At the MOT, the vehicle is idled for 10 minutes before to the test, which may result in some smoke during the first acceleration.
  12. I have considered this, but I am uncertain about the need of the expenditure. A few cans of Redex diesel cleaner would undoubtedly represent a superior investment.
  13. You are quite accurate; I acknowledge my error. 1.56 and 0.85 from the previous year. Nonetheless, I am pursuing a resolution to the very high reading. It is possible that the cylinders and piston rings have completely deteriorated during the past 6,000 kilometres. However, I believe otherwise. Prior to doing the vaping trick, he recommended that I eliminate the 1.56 using sandpaper.
  14. Greetings to everyone, A few days ago, I shared my experience with my emission MOT failure and the following pass achieved by directing vape smoke over the sensor. I am seeking clarification about my concerns. I have misgivings about the existence of any problem. The VIN plate indicates 156; does this refer to smoke density, CO2, or NOX? Uncertain and rather irrelevant. Historically, the vehicle has consistently passed the emissions test on the Fast Pass assessment. It failed just once initially, but the second two attempts resulted in an average below 156. Last year, it achieved a score of 85 on Fast Pass. This year, a failure with a score of 365! In the weeks before the MOT, I often deplete the petrol and add a can of injector cleaning to the tank; but, for unspecified reasons, I neglected to do so this year. I also do high-rev, full-throttle acceleration tests and monitor for smoke. Indeed, there were some issues before; nevertheless, during this MOT, nothing was apparent in the rearview mirror, which led to my astonishment at the significant failure. What factors might lead to a shift from 85 to 365 inside a single year? I replace the oil every 5,000 miles; there are no fault messages. The diesel engine is quite loud, but there is no discernible rattling, unless one has my wife's acute hearing. Obstructed injectors? Surely, they would provide some other indication? I believe the miles per gallon is somewhat reduced now; nevertheless, if excessive gasoline is being injected, it should result in smoke or irregular operation. The injectors may need an update, and excessive leak-off might be present; but, would this alone account for such high emission readings? Considering the dubious method they used to circumvent the emissions test by using vape smoke, I speculate if they compromised the emissions by directing cigarette smoke at the sensor in my absence, then proposing to clean the intake manifold for £250 with a guaranteed pass. Your insights about the factors contributing to this emission increase would be valued. Thank you and farewell.
  15. This is irrelevant to the issue I am encountering. My recent observations indicate that the issue diminishes when the ambient temperature lowers. It seems that some sensors may be malfunctioning, resulting in display issues. I saw this when disconnecting the electromagnet. No damage was evident on the screen. Is this justifiable?............. Could it be attributable to the tyre temperature? The issue consistently arises, primarily during the summer and after driving around 20 km. If anybody has had the same issue and discovered a resolution, do inform me. Thank you for your kind hospitality.
  16. At the Chevrolet facility I visited in Thessaloniki, they identified a malfunction in the left rear differential block, as seen in the picture. I will conduct a test to confirm this diagnosis and will update you on my findings and actions taken. The computer diagnostics revealed no issues.
  17. My Captiva emitted a 'wup-wup' sound when navigating corners. Initially, I suspected an issue with the back differential; however, I discovered that detaching the prop shaft resolved the problem. I now believe that the issue is in the electronic clutch linking the propshaft to the rear differential. This clutch is designed to activate just when the front wheels are sliding; but, I suspect that in my situation, the clutch is always partly engaged. Has anybody had issues with repairing or replacing this electronic clutch? Thank you.
  18. Inspect the pulley located on the front of the air conditioning system, outside the vehicle's hood, and determine whether it emits a high-pitched noise when it comes to a stop. I haven't examined it to see whether it has its own belt as well. In my opinion, they are the most basic items to delete initially.
  19. Several members have had alarm troubles, not just with the Sportage but also with the Sorento. Although the method of resolution is unclear, a potential interim solution might include concealing the internal sensor, which is likely located as a little protrusion on the top of the dashboard.
  20. Indeed, I continue to only use my antiquated Green device. I refuse to incur a further expense of £10 when the first payment has already been paid.
  21. Excellent, this is quite helpful. I will bring these items to the service appointment with the expectation of receiving prompt and efficient assistance, without encountering any unnecessary delays or complications. Expressing gratitude!
  22. Could you kindly provide the bulletin or specify the specific portion you are referring to? I have a scheduled appointment next Monday just for addressing the same problem.
  23. Interestingly, I had a conversation today with someone who was enthusiastically praising TVS. Are you located in the southern region of England? I am interested in participating in an MRC stage 2 and TVS map to get firsthand knowledge, since I am considering following that path.
