The fuel consumption of self-charging HEVs.
rab60bit88 replied to rab60bit88's topic in General Car Chat
Because it has been staring me down from the main window the whole time, I'm going to assume it's the accumulated figure. But I have a hard time figuring out where things are on the Niro control panel because it is so complicated. -

I will give the reset a shot. This level of precision shouldn't be a concern, though; I have knowledge of the overflowing test from my time as editor of a motorhome magazine. It casts suspicion on the instrumentation, which ought to deliver sufficient precision, else it serves no use. In a few weeks, I will provide an update. -
Since I had been making mostly short trips and I knew that all automobiles are less efficient in cold weather, I wasn't too worried when my average mpg dropped to 44.6 during the winter months. Still, I'm concerned that I'm only getting 44.8mpg, as my gas mileage has never been lower than 52mpg since I purchased the car in October 2022. I am really hoping that my 130-mile round trip in a few weeks will increase the average. Is this out of the ordinary? I don't think there are any gasoline leaks.

Hello everyone! This 318d could end up in my possession. It appears inexpensive, and in some spots it actually is! Would it be possible to do something about this paintwork? Don't think you need to be flawless. Much obliged.

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 đ.

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.
