  1. If you want to raise the side wall, you should typically lower the tire size so you have almost the same rolling resistance and, as points out, you won't have any problems with the tyre touching the wheel arches or liners.
  2. Your speedo's accuracy will be affected by the change you're suggesting. Take a look at this:
  3. On the hybrid coaching maps, the Toyota app indicates a value of over 99.9.
  4. Sure, but every single one of them had identical winter SUV tires.
  5. For a long time, Hyundai and Kia had the benefit of longer warranties. For a decade, we took care of any problems that arose. That was the major benefit. Eliminating it gave them the advantage back, but it was for naught. There have been too many drastic redesigns of the cars themselves. Consumables including oil, cabin air filters, and model-specific filters are model-and year-specific. All of them are unique, while some are cartridges and some are add-ons. Various even down to the wiper blades. From 2019 to 2021, my two Sorentos went through a wiper replacement. Because of this ongoing evolution, consumables are both scarce and costly. And then there are the modifications that prevent theft. My insurance company has threatened to cancel my coverage until I update my daughters' Seltos, and they have sent me at least four consecutive notifications about this. That causes the vehicle to be held at the dealership for one day every time. So far, my CX90 encounters have been much more consistent. Because it has been on the market for over a decade and is standard for most models, aftermarket oil filters are easy to get. For$120, I got a maintenance kit from the dealer that had new wiper blades, an oil filter with oil, and filters for the cabin and intake air. For Kia, the same parts are only available individually, necessitating visits to both the dealer and two other auto parts stores. It cost more than $300. Everyone else's Seltos was that. The age is starting to show on my 2019 Sorento. In your opinion, what will take its place? When it comes to snow handling, my criteria are whether it's possible to drive away from the curb after the ploughs have passed and how it manages to navigate streets with several snow drifts. Pretty much the same for all three. My apologies if this is completely irrelevant.
  6. Here is one that has received positive feedback. It's hard to prove the actual gain, but I've utilised it. The correctional values improved following its use, at least.
  7. To the south of me, you can see them. They have a workshop that I want. My carbon fibre brolly is just one example of the attention to detail that they shown when I worked with them a few years ago.
  8. Before you know it, you'll be captivated
  9. I go annually; it's incredible! On the other hand, last year was unbearably hot. For reference, here is my video from the previous year
  10. Your description is correct; random problems like this may be caused by a deteriorating batter. It is likely time to change the battery if it is the original one.
  11. To submit feedback, you must be logged into your Tesla account. I appreciate that. Should inhibit them from being inundated by the many with trivial “feedback.”
  12. Excellent video; I like viewing it. Thank you for sharing.
  13. I utilise a 2-foot long spike to incapacitate them. Regarding cleaning, one may consider pumping a substance into the rear section of the exhaust. If your vehicle is equipped with two oxygen sensors, it will possess a catalytic converter; if it has only one sensor, it will not.
  14. In 2014, a transition occurred in the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and catalytic converter (cat) systems. Vehicles manufactured prior to this year were equipped with a catalytic converter preceding the DPF, whereas post-2014 models feature a catalytic converter followed by a DPF, with a passive catalytic converter integrated midway through the exhaust system. In all instances of DPF removal, I have had to eliminate the passive catalytic converter, as the absence of the DPF leads to soot accumulation that obstructs it over time.
  15. If you encounter difficulties, submit it to me, and I will resolve the issue. It requires a systematic approach, including smoke testing and diagnostics, and having expertise is advantageous.
  16. Extremely ambiguous; it is essential to obtain fault codes and any live data to ascertain the underlying issues. Occasionally, a turbo malfunction, DPF complication, or EGR valve failure may mimic limp mode, while the actual problem could be insufficient boost. Furthermore, engines with over 80,000 miles may experience timing chain elongation, leading to a flat performance that resembles limp mode, often without generating fault codes, complicating diagnosis. Gearbox malfunctions may resemble limp mode if it becomes jammed in third gear, as a self-protective measure. This defect can be challenging to diagnose. Glow plugs do not activate limp mode; however, a blocked DPF will trigger it, as regeneration is impossible without functional glow plugs. It is typical for the glow plug controller to fail.
