A version of the Mazda CX90 imported to Latin America.
ElectricEclipse replied to ElectricEclipse's topic in General Car Chat
None of the lights were visible to me. I appreciate your help. -
Greetings everyone: I was hoping someone could tell me how to install or activate the TPMS sensor in my 2026 Mazda Cx-90. I had a flat tyre this morning and the system didn't give me any warning because the TPMS sensor isn't mounted on the tires in this version. The TPMS system is crucial, and I would like to have it installed. Warm regards

It is comforting to hear that. Thank you.

I have one from 2021. It is said to work in both normal and sport modes, however I have never used it myself. Whenever I'm coasting or holding an even position for an extended period of time, my mine runs.

I know CD has been discussed extensively, but I couldn't discover anything new about it when I searched. I was wondering if anyone had a high-mileage owner of our model. Got any issues? Is there a way to turn it off?

While the pricing at wiperblades appear competitive, additional mailing fees may render them costlier than alternatives.

GLC 250d produces a ticking sound when the wheel is turned.
ElectricEclipse replied to MDMH757's topic in General Car Chat
I possessed an Audi that exhibited similar behaviour. The brake pads (Mintex) were found to be ill-fitting, exhibiting significant looseness and movement within the calliper. It ceased when I applied the brakes, when I removed my foot. Generic pads from ECP resolved the issue. -
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?

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.

Recently acquired P250 from the original Evoque

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

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 rapidly flashing indicator lights resolved
ElectricEclipse replied to colinallcars's topic in General Car Chat
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. -
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.

I appreciate the advice, gentlemen. The automobile has been scheduled for a second diagnostic test this week. Today, someone speculated, "Could the increased load from the fan running impact fuel consumption?" Undoubtedly, the answer is affirmative, since it must have an impact to a certain extent. However, is a 10% influence exceeding a reasonable proposition? The primary battery has not been replaced throughout my ownership, indicating that it is likely the original battery. I replaced the battery situated in the boot on November 23rd.
