How often do you receive payment reminders from Mazda?
rab60bit88 replied to Doncaster34's topic in General Car Chat
I don't think I've ever gotten a notice to pay. Your message will be confirmed when it is scheduled and again when it is posted. Of course you can change the parameters for your email reminders. -
I think it will work out okay. For compression, inner arch, or suspension, the most important thing is to avoid catching the arch lip. Changing the ratio of rotational speed between the front and back axles has a slim chance of causing electronics to malfunction. It is also important to think about the insurance consequences and speedo reading. As I mentioned before, everything should be fine. Just remember that you shouldn't be too upset if the ride comfort remains the same. Before you proceed, be sure the change was worthwhile by taking a large dose of placebo 😁.

Sure, it's certainly doable. Does anybody happen to know who can check the battery? -
Issue with headlights on 2010 530d gt f07.

My issue is with that. It's probably just my age, but KWILB, I have a terrible memory for where I saw stuff. -
Is the whistling or whining sounds in the Sportage HEV normal?
rab60bit88 replied to rab60bit88's topic in General Car Chat
Thank you for your responses. It is the whole hybrid three. I utilised chatGPT, and it indeed resembles the typical sound emitted by the inverter. It seemed peculiar to me due to its intermittent nature. At times, it is inaudible during a drive; at other instances, it occurs sporadically, although it can also be constant, as demonstrated in the video. -
I recently purchased a 2022 Sportage with 25,000 miles from a Kia dealer. I have seen a sporadic whistling sound. It is not wind noise; it typically occurs at moderate speeds, particularly while parking. This issue typically does not occur upon initial ignition but arises after driving for several minutes or, at times, a significantly longer duration. Does this appear to be typical? I am unfamiliar with hybrid systems. Link to the video is provided below. Whistling occurs throughout the majority of this video. It typically does not persist for this duration; it is generally more sporadic. I would very appreciate any feedback you may provide.

w639 suspected faulty engine to chassis ground connection

Are the battery terminals and posts clean and secure, and are the wires in satisfactory condition? -
w639 suspected faulty engine to chassis ground connection
rab60bit88 replied to KOOLCAR's topic in General Car Chat
I possess a 2007 W639 and have experienced an intermittent issue with starting when the engine is heated. It merely emitted a click, like to a depleted battery. However, if you kept the hood raised and attempted to start the engine every few minutes, it would gradually begin to turn over with the key, initially very slowly and for only a few revolutions, then increasingly faster and longer until it eventually began. The cold start was consistently satisfactory. The battery passed the test, however it was aged (the original from 2007); the earth strap and connections were satisfactory. The battery is located beneath the passenger seat, hence it was not subjected to heat soak from the engine impacting its performance. The initial concern was a 'lazy starter motor,' a common issue with certain brands, particularly BMW. However, I opted to replace the battery because (a) it was aged and (b) this solution was significantly more economical than purchasing a new beginning motor, which ultimately resolved the problem.dk: It has been satisfactory ever since. -
I brought the vehicle to the battery shop since it remained under warranty. The battery was inspected and deemed to be in good condition. They transported it to a local Exide testing centre and informed me that it was functioning properly. The warranty replacement applies solely if the battery is entirely nonfunctional and does not revive after bench charging. ChatGPT identified it as a weak ground strap issue. However, the Mercedes-Benz dealer asserts that such a part does not exist. The alternatives available to me are: 1. Disregard the problem until a more significant issue arises. Proceed to the dealership and purchase their battery (Varta, rebranded for Mercedes) for around 50,000. Purchase an additional Varta battery for 27,000. What actions should I undertake?

Approximately one and a half years have elapsed since I substituted my original Mercedes battery with a Varta cell of identical specifications. For the past six months, the auto start-stop feature has been inoperative, which I have perceived as a hidden advantage. Recently, the cluster has blackouts on cold starts. I have communicated with the battery vendor and provided my voltage readings obtained via OBD2, which have also been verified with a voltmeter.
