Thank you everybody for your responses; they are quite beneficial. I am working night shifts, so I will respond late. My car is equipped with a handbrake and features an automatic gearbox, which includes a gear selector with positions for drive (D), neutral (N), reverse (R), and a park (P) button at the top. The vehicle must be in neutral, the parking brake disengaged, and the 'P' button deactivated to remove the disc. Are the shoes satisfactory, or must I replace them as well? The handbrake is not functioning effectively, therefore I am considering whether I can only tweak the shoes following the replacement of the discs as Jim suggested. What occurs when you press the 'p' button? Does it activate the pads or the shoes?

Hello, I possess a 2016 automatic 3 Series equipped with a parking brake button. I have previously replaced brake pads and discs on other vehicles, but only on the front of those cars, not on this one. Is the rear simple to execute? Does the 3 Series possess a drum? Thank you in advance.

I trust this is ok to publish. My son-in-law wants to sell his 1998 SLK Kompressor (automatic). Mileage is under 60,000; the exact amount is uncertain. The MoT expires at the end of March 2026. AMG wheels, among other components. The photographs do not depict the minor touch-ups in some corners. Could you provide recommendations for the optimal venue for selling, as well as an approximate valuation of what to request?

My present vehicle typically operates somewhat around 80 degrees, but in traffic on a sunny day, it can reach approximately 120 degrees, while during winter, it may drop below 80 degrees when driving. Numerous vehicles I own have exhibited this variety, hence it appears pretty usual to me. The majority possess a viscous coupling to operate the fan.

Temperature fluctuations may occur due to the thermostat's position (open or closed), ambient temperature, airflow through the radiator (which is influenced by speed and the operation of the radiator fan), and engine load; so, some variation is indeed typical.

You were unable to compose it; you await the arrival of songs 1 and 2, but at least you are content with your acquisitions. 👍👍

I discovered an alternative Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) on the website of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

This is the most recent Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) that includes the addition of dust covers. I am uncertain about the availability of this TSB in Canada. In September, my dealer applied lubricant to the source of the squeaky noise, and since then, the problem has not reoccurred. Anomalous noise emanating from the front of the vehicle while encountering a bump while executing a turn at a low velocity. M R TSB Number: R017/23, dated March 25, 2024, regarding PD CX-60. Until August 1st, 2023, the CX-90 is available. Until July 20th, 2023. Problem: Anomalous noise (creaking, squeaking) emanating from the front of the car after encountering a bump when making a turn at a slow speed. The reason: A stick-slip phenomena may happen between the front stopper rubber and the bracket in the front lower rear arm. Refer to TSB. The solution involves doing a thorough examination, performing tests, and making precise adjustments to ensure proper clearances. Additionally, fresh grease will be applied, and the dust covers will be replaced with new ones, even if they are not necessarily required. Modification in the process of mass production The stopper rubber has been lubricated with grease. Lower arm dust coverings have been inserted. The size of the mounting hole on the lower arm bracket has been altered.

whether you happen to be in a supermarket parking lot and see a Mk4 Sportage, you could just park close and politely ask (after observing him discreetly) whether you might test his car's luggage cover in your own vehicle.

It is unusual that a 23 Sportage would already be without the shelf. Have you inspected the area under the trunk floor to ensure that nothing has been stowed there? Upon observing the configuration of the back portion of the extendable shelf, it is evident that the Mk5 variant differs from the Mk4 version and does not seem to be compatible - however this is really a conjecture on my part. The most inexpensive Mk5 I have discovered is priced at slightly under £80, including postage and packaging, when using a discount code.

Issue with the indicator? Is it installed on a BMW? I am unable to comprehend the information. An indicator is a measure or sign that provides information about a particular condition or trend.

Thank you, KOOLCAR, for providing such an outstanding material. If the orientation of the EGR unit aligns with the specifications mentioned in the datasheet, I may be able to do a partial inspection of the vacuum portion without much disassembly.

Experiment: Reduction in miles per gallon (MPG) due to increased fan speed. Prior to my daily journey, disengage the radiator fan. Result: The MPG decrease and unusual fluctuations in MPG from the initial values were consistent (beginning at 14.1mpg and progressively increasing to 14.9 -> 16.x -> 18.x -> 21.x over the following 3 to 4 miles). Initially, the automobile achieves a fuel efficiency of 31.x MPG within a short distance after leaving home. Shortly after, it reaches the mid 30's and within 5 miles it reaches the 40's. For most journeys, it consistently achieves fuel efficiency in the 50's. I see a significant decrease in fuel efficiency when encountering even the slightest incline, which then returns to normal while going downhill. Previously, there was a noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency of around 1 or 2 miles per gallon (MPG), but today the decrease is much more significant, with a reduction of 5 or 6 MPG per hill. Last week, I conducted a comprehensive fuel efficiency test on my vehicle. Typically, I am able to travel a distance of 510 to 530 miles on a full tank of fuel, sometimes even surpassing this range. However, now, my vehicle is only able to cover a distance of 460 miles on a full tank. According to the hypothesis, the same issue that is leading to the low fuel efficiency is also causing the ECU to receive data indicating the need for more cooling.
