Although not the least expensive. Halfords should have a battery or another automotive supplier in proximity to your location. Particularly those who provide services to nearby garages.

If the automobile is unlocked, the 12V side is operational. If the drive battery falls below 20%, the Battery Management System (BMS) will not activate to replenish the 12V system. If you leave the vehicle unlocked for any duration, activate utility mode to ensure the 12V system is charged by the driving battery. To be honest. If you have had a few instances with a depleted battery. It is time to replace it with a fresh one. As a unit, they have been depleted, potentially causing battery damage, and frigid temperatures are detrimental. To assess battery drain, use a BM2 or BM6 Bluetooth battery monitor, which will provide an indication of any depletion. An example of the battery meter on my e-Niro was last used on Saturday, January 4th. Remained snowbound till just today, January 6th. The 12V side saw a significant dip until the BMS restored it on 05-01. Subsequently, it declined once again overnight owing to frigid temperatures.

Many equipped with Xdrive seem to be integrated into a single unit. I will reassess later once I have tidied our garden, which is cluttered with remnants of what was once a lean-to greenhouse, after the severe winds (it still windy today). -

Have you examined that renowned auction website? -
It is possible that later 2.2 vehicles were equipped with a diesel particulate filter.

It does not possess a 'cat' per se, as I have previously read, but rather a spark suppressor mechanism. Can someone currently living verify this? 🤔

My Mondeo consistently exhibited low emissions; initially, I recorded 1.43 and 1.11 on two separate occasions. Subsequently, I disabled the EGR valve and removed the catalytic converter, resulting in a reading of 0.33 on the first rev. All of this was accomplished at the same motor station.

I am uncertain if I would have made the purchase if
torque2me replied to coolguy's topic in General Car Chat
Greetings! I have enumerated many concerns with my CX70 PHEV on this site, indicating that it is not without flaws. Nonetheless, I still consider it to be an excellent vehicle! I like operating in electric vehicle mode. It is quiet and reactive. Sport mode really excels. Eventually, the seats became less rigid, and the vehicle proved to be rather pleasant. Avoid excessive prejudice. Individuals will document what is ineffective. It is uncommon to encounter individuals who write to express that everything is satisfactory. Many of the concerns described here and elsewhere are irritations to varying extents but are not dealbreakers. Certain components of the vehicle are superior when produced by other manufacturers, whereas Mazda excels in the production of certain elements. In what ways does your CX70 fail to meet your expectations? -
Rear footwell rubber drain grommet for W124 230E.
torque2me replied to markjay's topic in General Car Chat
Are you aware of the component number? I enquire since we sought W124 differential filler and drain bolts and observed eBay listings priced at almost 30€. My kid purchased them from MB for around €3 apiece after applying his discount. Worth a try. -
Is it the component for securing the shock bottom mount? If that is the case, there should be two. Are both present? 60nm comes to mind for them.

Is it worthwhile to repair or replace the engine?

Cylinder head gasket. -
That is really incredulous and may I have the audacity to request any further information on it! Experiencing a malfunction with the speed sensor on the right rear wheel... I am wondering whether the battery is the cause of the problem. Or is it at least exacerbating my troubles?
-
Greetings After briefly examining my battery, I am perplexed to see that it has the code. The pole is marked with the number 24.10. Does this imply that my battery has been in use for a duration of 14 years... I am cognisant of the fact that it has been many years, but... 14 years??

Upgrading car battery - concerns about dimensions
torque2me replied to Treeri's topic in General Car Chat
Is your warranty still valid? Within a span of 2 years, my 2021 CX 30 vehicle's battery consistently provided low battery alarms whenever I left the doors open, such as when I vacuumed the car or made 3 trips with the hatch open. We were quite frustrated when camping since we were unable to unload the vehicle due to the warning. The dealer maintained that it was within the expected range of behaviour. I vehemently asserted that such was not the case. They contended that it was due to the cold and within the expected range. The winters in San Diego can be quite harsh, with temperatures dropping as low as 50 degrees Fahrenheit. I may have had some discomfort in my eyes due to excessive eye-rolling in response to this statement. After persistently expressing dissatisfaction for a year, they finally replaced it free of charge as per the guarantee, and I have not encountered any further notifications after then. Even after camping for two consecutive days, the hatch remained open and closed without any issues. especially in the freezing temperatures of 0 degrees Fahrenheit, the car can start without any issues, especially in mountainous regions. -
To ensure optimal service, it is advisable to locate a reputable and autonomous expert in VAG vehicles, while avoiding official dealerships. Please provide the location where you are now located, and someone in this forum may be able to provide a recommendation.

My male companion Having only made one post in a span of seven years is quite an impressive feat, maybe setting a new world record. Congratulations!

In 2023, I plan to take my vehicle to the dealers and have them handle any issues that arise, since it will still be covered by the warranty.

Is a green paper driving license available?
torque2me replied to another_clean_sheet's topic in General Car Chat
My wife possesses only the physical copy of her identification. During a recent visit to the bank, she encountered a situation where the bank employee declined to accept her paper ID. In response, I proposed that either someone else assist us or that we close our accounts. Promptly, an individual emerged from the rear section of the bank, resolving the issue. It is reasonable to expect that if paper IDs are deemed acceptable by the police, they should be accepted by all others, until my wife reaches the age of 70. After three years, the age is very advanced! -
I can really affirm that this has not occurred in my own experience. I do not recall ever receiving a low battery warning message. Simply get a high-quality AGM battery, which should provide for your needs.
