  1. 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.”
  2. Excellent video; I like viewing it. Thank you for sharing.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

  7. I comprehend the dilemma; I experienced it as well. The F damper shocks were superior to the Koni's for my preferences; yet, despite the original shocks' excessive bobbing, they provided greater comfort, whereas the F's are more rigid. Overall, all were subpar; however, the Koni's effectively mitigated the bouncing. The issue lies not just with the shocks but also with the spring weightings. I stated this three years ago, and now Mazda has reduced the spring weights on the new 2025 vehicles. It may be more advantageous to obtain a VIN from a 2025 model and acquire all the suspension components from that model to install on your 2023 vehicle. All components are compatible; I would recommend this prior to investing in alternative aftermarket options. Transitioning to an 18" wheel equipped with a Michelin CrossClimate tire will be beneficial; but, it will remain costly. I would recommend procuring 18" forged wheels instead of the inexpensive and heavy cast Mazda variants, as this would decrease unsprung weight on the hub, hence providing significant benefits.
  8. Simply acquire an additional vehicle. Achieving satisfactory ride quality with the CX60 is unattainable; I have experienced this myself and have exhausted all options, now liberated from the ordeal.
  9. The presence of the locker complicates matters; if I were in that situation, I would utilise the key to remove the other three first, and then for the obstinate one, I would secure the key in place by welding before employing a socket on it. Upon removal, discard them and install regular bolts.
  10. A high-quality impact socket coupled with a durable long breaker bar should effectively loosen it.

  12. My vehicle has consistently utilised genuine Mercedes wiper blades; however, my parents' and sisters' vehicles are equipped with Bosch Aerotwin blades, which have garnered no complaints and are undoubtedly superior to the original VAG counterparts.
  13. Orienting AMGeed's diagram enhances clarity: Relay N in your fusebox is the light grey component on the left in your image.
  14. Is it a foolish inquiry to ask if you removed the engine-body ground strap and cleaned the contact surfaces?
  15. I have just viewed the entire clip; the presenter is excellent, and I appreciate your efforts in introducing him to us. 👍
  16. Steve at Avantgarde A Mercedes specialist located in Clevedon, near Bristol, can assist you or provide guidance on the optimal course of action.
  17. This issue has occurred in MB models; I recommend consulting an MB professional experienced in wiring and ECU cleaning. What is your location for a recommendation? Do you possess any warranty for the vehicle?
