  1. I previously had an 85 Chevrolet Sprint, which served as the precursor to the Geo Metro. I had a strong affinity with the automobile. The purchase was made at a cost of $400, as previously mentioned. I extensively used the aforementioned subject matter, and it shown remarkable resilience in response. A really achieved fuel efficiency of 50 miles per gallon. And that was with me operating the vehicle with great speed and urgency.
  2. Which option is preferable: a 2.3 turbo engine or a 2.5 non-turbo engine? It is necessary to have access to a proficient scanning tool capable of monitoring PID's throughout the process of driving.
  3. The numerical data provided does not align or correspond appropriately. If we assume that the battery capacity is around 75 Ah, it would need a much greater current of around 25A to completely discharge the battery within a time frame of 3 hours. The product of 11 amperes sustained over a period of 3 hours yields a total charge of 33 ampere-hours. As recommended, begin the process of sequentially removing fuses until the electrical drain ceases. Subsequently, this will enable identification of the specific circuit responsible for the issue, facilitating further investigation. The power output of 11A is about 140W, indicating that a component or system is likely experiencing a significant increase in temperature. The power output of 25A exceeds 300W.
  4. Hello, does anybody know where mud flaps/splash protectors can be purchased? The Cx-60 is a model of car produced by a certain manufacturer.
  5. It is advisable to use caution while modifying settings inside the menu interface. I successfully changed the display language of my dashboard to Italian, after encountering difficulties in reverting it back to English.
  6. The engine in your vehicle is a 2.0L Diesel, whereas the engine in my vehicle is a 3.0L Diesel. Consequently, it is evident that there will be a discernible difference between the two. Since the purchase of the automobile in April of the current year, the computed data pertaining to gasoline purchases is as follows: The average miles per gallon (MPG) for a distance of 5289 miles is 34.95. In the last several months, the recorded distances travelled were as follows: September with a distance of 36.59 miles (466 miles), October with a distance of 38.18 miles (1237 miles), and November with a distance of 33.82 miles (808 miles). The current reading on the car's computer is 36.2. The primary factor contributing to the notable shift in October may be attributed to a familial union taking place in Carlisle, with our place of residence being Luton. I am uncertain about the specific methodology used by the car's computer in determining the miles per gallon (MPG), especially with regard to the temporal or mileage parameters included in the calculation. The information on this matter may perhaps be found inside the handbook; nevertheless, considering the brevity of life, it may not be worth the effort to search for it. Please feel free to formulate your own judgement; nonetheless, it seems that the car's computations exhibit a tiny tendency towards optimism. I appreciate your kind words. Similar to yourself, I am also retired and make an effort to maintain both physical and mental engagement. Greetings,
  7. Are you extracting the data from the on-board computer? If that is the case, I would raise doubts about their precision. One practise that I adopted throughout my employment and management of business vehicles is the systematic recording of gasoline purchases, which includes documenting the miles at the time of each refuelling event, using a spreadsheet. Despite being retired, I continue to engage in this activity and consistently see a discernible variance between the numerical output provided by the vehicle's computer system and the calculations performed on a spreadsheet. Occasionally, this has considerable importance. Please refer to me as a person who engages in this activity, despite its potential negative connotations. It is important to note that a decrease in fuel efficiency may serve as an indication of underlying issues with the engine or braking system. This contribution is anticipated to be beneficial.
  8. I have long held the belief that the selection of red turn signals was influenced by a regulatory framework in the United States. In the United States, a considerable number of European Union (EU) automobiles are equipped with red turn signals. I have always harboured a curiosity about the underlying reasons behind
  9. Moisten a cloth with a solution of mild soap. The use of vinyl paint on leather creates a seal that impedes the absorption of feed into the leather. The accumulation of dirt and grit inside the creases of the leather might lead to potential harm over time.
  10. Even genuine leather is dyed or coated with vinyl paint. The use of leather conditioner may not effectively condition the leather and may potentially exacerbate the accumulation of filth, leading to accelerated wear and tear of the material.
  11. The desired engine is not available in the UK, since only the entry-level petrol specification is offered. Considering the increasing practicality of hybrids and electric vehicles, which have gained prominence in the Diesel market, it can be said that Mazda is now lagging around five years behind the prevailing market trend. Based on my inference, it seems that Mazda has a constrained global production capacity and has strategically determined that the demand for diesel vehicles in the United Kingdom is substantial enough to maintain their desired level of factory orders specifically for the CX5 model in the UK market.
  12. The task is included in my agenda of pending activities.
  13. No, similar to yourself, I am had to elevate it manually. Have you attempted to replace the gas rams on either side in order to reduce the weight?
  14. Is the foldable roof of your vehicle designed to rise automatically when the boot is raised, or is it necessary to manually activate the lifting mechanism by pressing the red button? The lifting mechanism of my device operates automatically, requiring just a button push for the lowering function.
  15. Apologies for the digression, but it seems that the correct designation for the item in question is R231 rather than W231.
  16. The automobile is highly commendable, with a personal preference for wheels over turbines. Regardless of the choice, it is anticipated that the driving experience will be exceptional.
  17. I have already attempted... The task was not organized for a single day. I express my gratitude for your assistance.
  18. The other digits I discovered were similarly particular to the vehicle identification number (VIN). I have reached out to a local independent Mercedes-Benz dealership and engaged in a conversation with one of their representatives. The representative expressed their intention to get an authentic lock at a discounted price and offered to install it for a fee of £70. Consequently, I am inclined to go with this arrangement. I feel a sense of disappointment since I have a personal inclination towards engaging in tasks independently; but, the complexity of the task at hand seems to be quite challenging. I express my gratitude for the assistance provided.
  19. I appreciate your response. I proceeded to contact MB with my vehicle identification number (VIN) and received a quotation of £203, inclusive of all charges. However, throughout our conversation, they did not explicitly verify the accuracy of the offered amount. I was endeavoring to ascertain the availability of second-hand authentic components on the market prior to committing to the complete payment. I would like to express my gratitude for your assistance about the repair process. I was informed that a torx 30 size tool would be necessary, but I also came across a video that demonstrates the need for an extra long version of this tool while doing the repair in question. I had initially hoped to achieve some cost savings on this repair; but, regrettably, as I acquired more information, the likelihood of this outcome diminished. The provided link presents further numerical data, indicating the presence of four right-hand locks for the rear in this instance. The website provided is a catalog for Mercedes parts.
  20. Hello everyone, I would want to express my apologies. I would want to inquire if my current action violates any regulations within this forum or if I have mistakenly posted this in an inappropriate category. I am experiencing a malfunction with the OSR (Off-Side Rear) door of my w204 vehicle, specifically pertaining to its inability to respond to key-based operations. The door exhibits a failure to perform its intended functions of opening and closing, despite the audible operation of the latch or mechanism. It is my belief that the latch mechanism has become inoperative (although I am uncertain of the specific internal components, maybe due to the rounding off of teeth). I am now in search of a replacement latch, and although it seems to be a manageable task, I have come across information on many websites emphasizing the need of selecting the appropriate lock due to the existence of different variations. Has this problem been experienced by any other individuals? The user provides two numbers for the left side and two numbers for the right side. Please see the photograph obtained from a website after inserting my vehicle identification number (VIN). Any assistance would be much appreciated.
  21. I purchased my vehicle without any additional charges from Range Rover of Englewood, New Jersey. If you are interested, please direct message the sales representative.
  22. The 2003 Mazda 6s 3.0 model indicates that the oil pressure gauge would undergo a sweeping motion during the resetting of the Keep Alive Memory (KAM). The vehicle I own is equipped with an oil light indicator, but lacks an oil gauge. What criteria should I consider while searching for something?
  23. I have seen that you had a head pressure exam. However, I would want to inquire if this particular test also included an assessment for potential warpage. A distorted or deformed skull would not achieve an effective seal.
  24. Typically, in the context of automatic transmissions, the lower section of the radiator is used for the purpose of cooling the transmission fluid. It is possible that the barrier inside your radiator has undergone disintegration, resulting in the intermingling of the two substances. There is a possibility that coolant is infiltrating the transmission system. Kindly inspect the transmission fluid. The vehicle in question exhibits signs of advanced age, necessitating potential replacement of the radiator and transmission fluid.
