  1. I am astonished that this menu is accessible to you. It is often concealed from the driver for a specific purpose.
  2. Thank you for the prompt reply, which corroborates my prior belief. I am pretty satisfied with the automatic charging and have been using coasting and mild braking techniques. I am very satisfied with the vehicle so far; it represents a significant advancement over the 2018 Tiguan I previously operated.
  3. Hello everyone, I have had my Sportage for around three weeks and believe I have mastered all the technology except for one aspect. I comprehended from various movies and the manual that I might adjust the regeneration rate by using the paddles. Nevertheless, each time I do this, they alter the gear ratio. Can I adjust the regeneration in my HEV, or is it only controlled automatically? Thank you
  4. I have not yet needed to use it, but it is reassuring to be informed.
  5. Affirmative. I often use their eBay store, where eBay discount certificates are available, proving to be very beneficial. They are also very prompt in delivery.
  6. I have found Parts in Motion to be excellent. Based in the UK, in contrast to Autodoc.
  7. Your suspicion of a MAF problem is likely correct. Upon acquiring a reliable code reader, a fault code will be recorded when the system enters limp mode. The preferred code reader seems to be the iCarsoft V2, however a more recent version may possibly be available. Exercise caution when purchasing from a reliable source (avoid eBay) since counterfeit readers may be available that do not support upgrades. Although it is not inexpensive, it effectively performs its function and may minimise diagnostic expenses for various problems.
  8. The pouch is malfunctioning
  9. Engaging Park with the vehicle not level may exert stress on the gearbox parking pawl, which can be alleviated by activating the parking brake. The parking pawl is not composed of chocolate, to my knowledge, therefore it is unlikely to cause damage unless the vehicle is positioned on a steep incline; nonetheless, why assume the risk? I consistently activate the parking brake prior to shifting the gearbox into Park, to ensure safety. On a gentle incline, I might refrain from utilising the parking brake to prevent it from adhering if the vehicle remains stationary for several days. The incline of my driveway is little in front of the home, but steeper further away; therefore, I apply the brake before shifting the gearbox into Park on the steeper stretch.
  10. I have completed such tasks on both 4 and 6 cylinder engines; however, I have mostly performed them for individuals who just requested the resolution of coolant leaks rather than the cleaning of the manifold. Were it my decision, I would extract the manifold and clean it simultaneously.
  11. The coolant flange/pipe from the cylinder head is prone to failure, often splitting along the side nearest the oil filter. Unless the intake must be removed, I typically just loosen it and elevate it enough to reach the upper E8 bolt.
  12. I have rented a 2024 Artisan Red PHEV Premium for about one year, and although I am fortunate to have avoided the dependability concerns reported by others, I must concur with the thoughts expressed in this discussion. Mazda's exclusion of what many automotive manufacturers see as fundamental amenities in a vehicle priced at over $57,000 is somewhat disappointing. I was aware of these omissions before my purchase, and overall, we are satisfied with the vehicle; however, I am still astonished that basic features such as passenger seat height adjustment, memory for side view mirrors, and fully illuminated tail lights are not standard. Their selections look to be peculiar for Mazda, especially given they seem to be attempting to market the car as a near-luxury alternative to companies such as BMW. I am not an engineer, however I question if the incorporation of such components would significantly alter the price/profit dynamics.
  13. I believe I will need to do experiments with this when I get my EV3. I doubt the reliability of the digital key on the phone if a non-functional phone cannot start the vehicle. On some days, I approach depleting my phone's battery, so I use my trip home to recharge it.
  14. If you have unlocked your EV3 using the emergency key due to your phone's battery depletion and lack of the fob, can you position your non-functional phone on the induction pad underneath the wireless phone charger to start the vehicle, similar to the functionality with the key fob?
  15. It has BMW Longlife-04, hence it will perform adequately. Conduct a search on the forum; this inquiry has been posed several times.
  16. I regret to learn about your circumstances. I concur, they will very definitely make the call. Occasionally, one may negotiate a transaction and repurchase it, either via partial sales or as a project. Be sure to decline their first offer and likely the subsequent one as well. They seldom provide their optimal pricing initially. It is prudent to gather preliminary information by researching the cost of purchasing a comparable vehicle. They will never provide you with the retail price; thus, obtaining an equivalent replacement will always incur more costs over time. I empathise with you; I can imagine my feelings if it were my RCZ. 😩
  17. The W201 employs a comparable rubber drain grommet on the outside sill/floorpan, located directly anterior to the rear tire. The part number is 2019972381.
  18. If you can locate a model equipped with the off-road package, then pursue it; nonetheless, I would recommend against the conventional version without low range and differential lock.
  19. Why are you purchasing a vehicle model without doing any research?
  20. Simultaneously replace the damper, and it will be as taut as a drum.
  21. No issue. Adore the W202 models.
  22. The centrepiece is the source of the problem, but changing the whole assembly is a logical solution.
  23. Substituting the drag link assembly will resolve your steering problem.
