The range of my vehicle has decreased to 17-18 miles on a full charge, compared to the initial range of 25 or 27 miles when I originally acquired it. I believe the reason for this is due to my residence in San Francisco, a city characterised by several hills. The vehicle consumes more energy as a result of navigating these hilly terrains. Furthermore, the car's accuracy is improving as it continuously gathers data from real-world driving experiences.

Install paddle shifters on W204 C250 CDI thru retrofitting.

I found them beneficial for inducing downshifting when I want more engine braking. -
Mazda USA and my local service centre have said that they have not before experienced this problem. The shutters in the front bumper of our cx30 are made of plastic. One of them was dislodged by debris on the road, which ultimately caused the engine to malfunction and burn out. Mazda asserts that this issue is not eligible for warranty coverage, as they claim its component is not defective, leaving me solely responsible for resolving the matter. Considering that I have had the vehicle for a duration of 18 months and mostly use it for regular commuting purposes, I would want to ascertain the number of further instances in which a seemingly little "pebble" would result in an expenditure of $1600.

Unfortunately, do you have any other suggestions? What is the process for updating firmware? Thank you very much -

Thank you for your replies. I attempted to disconnect the device for a duration of thirty minutes and performed a reset by inserting a pin, but unfortunately, it did not resolve the issue. Regrettably, because it is a first-generation device, there is just a power button and no available settings. Is it worth attempting to format the card? If so, should it be formatted as FAT32 or NTFS? Additionally, is it necessary to include any other files on the card? Thank you. -
Greetings, I hope you can assist me. I just bought a 2015 BMW 1 Series M Sport with a facelift. The vehicle came equipped with a BMW Performance Exhaust (PE) cam, as well as front and rear cameras. The seller informed me that the device requires servicing. Upon activation, it immediately enters parking mode. I would really appreciate any assistance. Is it possible that the issue is with the SD card? Thank you very much

The indicator light for the glow plug remains illuminated.

Alter the mechanism as well. -
In general, they are not worth the money. Indeed, they generate profit for the dealers. If you want to monitor the automobile often, then go with the purchase, as suggested by others. Ensure there are no hidden clauses regarding automobile tracking; if there are, reject the offer.

Buying extended warranty for expired warranty V10+
xsports replied to alabbasi's topic in General Car Chat
I was satisfied utilising the Fidelity platform for two 911s I previously owned. Significant repairs were done once on the air conditioning evaporator and another time on the navigation system. Easy to work with, Porsche dealer also approved of them. -
This problem is not present. We own the iPhone 13 Pro and 15 Pro models running the most recent operating system. They are always connected. The automobile may have the most recent upgrade since we acquired it directly from the boat in early November. Here is an article detailing the process of connecting to CarPlay. Apple CarPlay

There is an abundance of beige on the automobile.

The issue with my vehicle was a boost leak caused by a minor crack in the line between the intercooler and the intake manifold. No fault codes were generated by this. I would not have been aware of it if the back bumper had not begun to grow muddy around the exhaust. There was no apparent hissing noise when the hood was open until my son revved the engine while underneath the vehicle, revealing a minor 2-inch crack that expanded with increased boost pressures.

The component in question does neither function as a torque converter nor does it operate as a dual-clutch gearbox (DCT). Is it correct to infer that the use of Hybrids or Mild Hybrids eliminates the need for a torque converter? I eagerly anticipated the release of the CX70; but, due to the discontinuation of the X3 30e, I ultimately made the decision to purchase a BMW 330e. It is plausible that my vehicle lacks a torque converter as well. Could you please clarify the subject matter of your inquiry?

My preferred option would be a manual, but, that is not feasible. I will go for a conventional automatic gearbox due to need. I prefer not to go for cars equipped with Dual Clutch Transmissions (DCTs) or Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVTs) since I tend to purchase automobiles with the intention of retaining them for a decade.
-
The implementation of DCT would also be a decisive factor for me. It is plausible that the manufacturers may alter their decisions on the gearbox system for the production cars, so potentially reverting to the conventional gearbox. Consequently, I would not be taken aback if such a modification were to occur. Despite the piece being dated in March, it still referred to the Mazda 6 as an anticipated car, which aligns with my own preference. Around that time, I became aware of the discontinuation of the Mazda 6.

I am inclined to question the accuracy of the source. According to the information provided in the majority of CX-60 YouTube videos, it has been conveyed that the CX-70 model would include identical engine options, including an 8-speed torque converter gearbox. I would be pleased to purchase a CX-60 in its current form, and I am perplexed as to why Mazda has chosen not to introduce this model to the United States. Moreover, it would be incongruous with Mazda's brand identity to have many automatic gearbox options. It is noteworthy to observe the prevalence of the archaic 6-speed automatic gearbox in a significant portion of their current car lineup. The Mazda UK website has the CX-60 model in its inventory, specifying that it is equipped with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. It is reasonable to anticipate the inclusion of this feature, at a minimum, in the next CX-70 and CX-90 models, and perhaps in any vehicle that is not being discontinued, unless it is only designed for cars equipped with a longitudinal engine layout. This new feature is expected to replace the existing 6-speed gearbox.

The aforementioned technology is known as Android Auto, which requires a USB connection for data transmission.
