I am interested in upgrading my seats to wingbacks and installing the optimal navigation/stereo system to replace the original one.Additionally, I am in need of a collection of Y-shaped wheels. Any input or advice would be much appreciated.

Impressive engine 👌 My friend was quite pleased with his. He had it for a few years and just upgraded to an M2.

The Goodyear Asy 6 is a high-quality performance tyre known for its reduced noise emissions.

Mazda has achieved higher sales of CX-90 vehicles in its first year than the highest sales record of CX-9 vehicles in any given year. Since its debut, Mazda has sold a total of 40,805 units of the CX-90. Most customers have not had significant or even mild problems. If you believe that Mazda is presently experiencing negative energy, I suggest you examine the recalls and cessation of sales in other brands as well. Each automobile has its own set of problems. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/mazda-reports-record-december-sales-and-full-year-2023-sales-results-302025443.html https://news.mazdausa.com/2024-04-02-Mazda-Reports-March-Sales-Results

The vehicle is now at Eurowerks in Pompano, where it is undergoing the installation of its final bespoke inside carbon fibre elements provided by DB Carbon. Audi Sport will manufacture machined wheels next week. Visual media will be provided thereafter.

I own a 2022 Rear-Wheel Drive Performance Spyder. The modifications made to the vehicle include a DME Stage 2 tune, allowing for a redline of 9000 rpm, a TCU tune, a Pedal Box, an iPE exhaust system, a carbon fibre front sway bar, carbon fibre elements both inside and outside the vehicle and GT OEM external pieces. Osman provided me with assistance. The car has an astonishing 700 horsepower. She is quite impressive!

During the first month of owning the vehicle, I have managed to get a maximum range of 26 miles on a full charge. However, it is important to note that the actual range may vary. I am aware that when I have 5 kilometres or fewer left, the battery charge depletes to 0 overnight, most likely as a result of the low temperatures prevalent in the Boston region. Nevertheless, when I examine the High Voltage Battery Monitor page, it will display a charge level ranging from 15% to 20%, but it will show a range of 0. While operating in Normal mode, I am able to generate electric power while coasting or when stationary, but I am unable to activate the electric vehicle (EV) mode.

Please get pleasure from it.

Disregard the "not ready" warning shown on the screen of your i-STOP device if there are no further indicators on the icons. Consult the Energy Flow Monitor only in cases when i-STOP is malfunctioning, since the symbols would assist in pinpointing the specific location of the issue. Alternatively, just get pleasure from the vehicle and depend on its sophisticated system to determine when it is energy-efficient to use i-STOP and when it is not. As you said, there are several occurrences when i-STOP briefly fails to function for various reasons. I am not the most qualified individual to provide guidance on i-STOP, since I really dislike this technology and my first action on every vehicle is to promptly deactivate it upon engine start. Fortunately, the process of pressing a single button on Mazda is efficient and effortless. Other manufacturers use more intricate methods. In light of my professional responsibilities, I was required to engage in the examination of technical solutions pertaining to start/stop systems, as well as the software algorithms associated with these systems throughout their early stages of development. This persuaded me that the implementation of these systems was only a superficial tactic to appease environmentally-minded government officials who lack a solid understanding of fundamental physics. Furthermore, the tangible advantages of these systems for car owners are minimal. I am not inclined to get into the intricate scientific aspects of this matter, but it is crucial to comprehend that the concept of free energy does not exist. If the engine is deactivated and the AC, lights, heating, infotainment, and other systems are operated using the battery, it becomes necessary to restore the electric energy that has been consumed. Consequently, in the case of the M Hybrid system, such as the CX-30, the integrated starter generator (ISG) will require a greater amount of power from the engine upon re-starting. Consequently, this leads to increased fuel consumption and emissions. If you reside in a location where you often halt at traffic lights for a duration of 2-3 minutes and thereafter proceed to drive at a speed of 30 mph or higher without any restrictions, i-STOP may provide you with a marginal advantage in terms of fuel efficiency. However, doing this on the crowded metropolitan roads of the United Kingdom is seldom, since the majority of the time we navigate through start-stop traffic, with brief stoppage lasting 5-10 seconds, followed by a comparable rush of activity. Engaging i-STOP will result in the engine starting and stopping every 5-10 seconds, which is detrimental to both the engine and your mental well-being. One may choose to maintain pressure on the clutch to avoid this occurrence, however this contradicts the fundamental purpose of i-STOP. If you are driving in a rational manner and adjusting your speed based on the general traffic flow, i-STOP is completely ineffective outside of towns and cities. Regrettably, starting from 2017, all of my vehicles, including my two present Mazdas, were equipped with a start/stop system. However, as previously said, I now mostly disable it and use auto-pilot instead. I have certain reservations about the information provided by your vendor. Initially, I own a 2021 CX-30 and my dealer performed all software upgrades on my vehicle without any charges or inquiries. When you bring the automobile for service, they inquire if you would want the software to be updated. My dealership employs a dedicated advisor that diligently oversees all software upgrades and promptly notifies you of any available updates for your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This pertains primarily to previous iterations lacking Connected Services and over-the-air upgrade capabilities, such as the car in question. I concur with the notion that the issue you have seen may be associated with the outdated software rather than the i-STOP system per se. Additionally, it was communicated that the problem with your i-STOP was remedied via the process of charging a 12V battery. It would be OK to do this action on older SKYACTIV-G engines that do not have M Hybrid. Nevertheless, with M Hybrid systems, after the first cold engine start is completed, full control over future start/stop procedures is transferred to a distinct Hybrid battery, namely a 24V Li-Ion battery. with contrast, a 12V battery does not play any role in this process. These devices are hermetically sealed and do not have readily accessible connections. They may be connected to a charger, but they are not intended to be recharged at the workplace. Similar to other electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid vehicle batteries, the batteries used in Mazda's M Hybrid car are considered disposable equipment. Consequently, Mazda provides an 8-year guarantee for the M Hybrid battery. Apologies for my scepticism about your dealership, but it seems that they are attempting to either deter you or exploit you. Do they just concentrate in Mazda dealerships or do they also provide Mazda products with other brands?

The Energy Flow Monitor display displays three distinct icons, namely AC, Battery, and Engine, arranged in a left-to-right sequence. Which items are emphasised when the "not ready" notification is received? Does the i-Stop function well, or is it only an inaccurate signal, or does it consistently fail to function in certain particular circumstances? Kindly specify the year model and provide details on the engine and trim characteristics, since the user profile does not provide clear information.

A tranny flush was performed on a previously owned Mazda 3, resulting in a near-broken gearbox. The flush agitated the sludge and metal particles inside the mechanism, necessitating the disassembly of the tranny for repair. Please submit a sample of the tranny fluid and a sample of the "new" fluid to a recognised oil laboratory for comparative analysis. The resultant report will provide valuable insights for decision-making purposes. In my opinion, a mileage of 35,000 miles is quite short for a tranny's oil to get deteriorated, unless you have been engaging in substantial off-road rallies.

Straightforward!

The issue I had was with the rocker cover gasket, so I decided to replace both gaskets while I was doing a carbon clean, which made the task somewhat more manageable. The right-hand side bank proved less challenging compared to the left. The primary concern was obtaining sufficient clearance as a result of the coil pack loom being wedged against the rocker cover.

Thank you, mrnobady. I have thoroughly cleaned it and I concur with your assessment. Is the component in question a gasket or made of silicone? Additionally, do you have knowledge of whether it is possible to do the task without removing the engine?

It seems unlikely that the source is originating from there, but rather it is more probable that it is accumulating in that specific region. If it is really accumulating, what other possibilities may explain this phenomenon?

Today, I performed an oil change on the R8. While inspecting the vehicle from below, I saw an oil leak located under the right-hand bank of cylinders, directly in front of the driveshaft. It seems to be coming from the oil pipeline. Has anybody had such occurrences, and is it necessary to replace an o-ring? Thank you in advance

The W205 model, along with its counterparts such as the W253 and W213, has a notable susceptibility to battery drainage. I use a Blackvue dash camera system in conjunction with a Powermagic device. The voltage is set at 12.5V and the duration of operation is around 5 minutes. When the voltage is adjusted to 12.0V, the device operates for a duration of many hours. However, after this period, the start function ceases to function for an extended period, which may be seen as desirable by certain individuals. The duration of a couple of hours is attributed to the battery management system's ability to detect the electrical load and subsequently interrupt power supply to all components inside the vehicle. This action is intended to facilitate the resetting of any malfunctioning electronic control units (ECUs) that may be causing excessive power consumption. When the power supply decreases, the functioning of magic is disrupted. In order to achieve a satisfactory duration of operation, it is important to use a battery pack for the dash-cam.

Furthermore, it is important to note the significant lack of dependability in the electric range forecast. This issue was particularly evident during my recent vacation in the picturesque Basque province, located in the southwestern region of France and northern Spain. Throughout my trip, I diligently maintained the battery charge level at a consistent 50%. In addition, we ascended the renowned Col d'Aubisque, a peak of significant prominence in the Tour de France. The descent was entirely powered by electricity, resulting in a battery charge increase of around 10-20%. This led to a projected driving range of 166 km, however in actuality, with a battery charge level of 65%, the achievable range was closer to 40 km. This scenario is inherently unrealistic, but it may be hypothetically attainable by a continuous process of descent. The accuracy of electric range predictions remains suboptimal due to the persistence of previously recorded data inside the computer system. Even when the consumption range is reset to zero, it does not have any electrical impact on the numerical range. Nevertheless, the fuel range forecast demonstrated a pretty precise level of accuracy during my holiday, particularly while towing a caravan. Additionally, as a means of towing a caravan, this vehicle exhibits commendable performance in terms of strength and stability, allowing smooth maneuverability on the road. Furthermore, it has the capability to pass larger vehicles, such as lorries, with ease. However, it is worth noting that its fuel consumption is quite high.

It should be noted that the act of charging electrically will inevitably have an impact on the signals. The issue lies in the integration of electrical and internal combustion engine (ICE) technologies. When beginning the charging process, the fuel consumption per 100 km will decrease, since it is determined by the ratio of actual consumption to the distance traveled. During the journey to the northern region of France, I had difficulties in charging the caravan's battery.

In conclusion, the data about gasoline consumption vs kilometers traveled has been recorded in an Excel spreadsheet, which is considered to be the most precise source. However, it is worth noting that the values obtained from the fuel consumption indicator on the dashboard do not significantly deviate from the data in Excel. I have generated statistical representations for all of my automobiles, and therefore, I extended this practice to include the CX-60.

I am uncertain about the accuracy of the Range forecast. The function of this process is to use the average consumption as the basis for its computations. For instance, on my trip, I towed a caravan, resulting in a notable decrease in the vehicle's range due to a substantial increase in fuel consumption. This was evident in both the Fuel Economy meter and the Range indicator. Upon my return to my residence, I proceeded to reset the indicators, thereafter seeing a progressive restoration of the "previous" readings (in the absence of caravan towing). Furthermore, I had a low gasoline indicator at a certain juncture. It is important to note that this indication signifies the presence of around 10 liters of fuel remaining in the tank. However, it is worth mentioning that while towing a caravan, the fuel consumption rate is approximately 1 liter every 8 to 8.5 kilometers. The projected range was estimated to be 70 kilometers, and upon refueling, I successfully dispensed 42 liters of fuel. Overall, I am somewhat impressed with the range indication.

Could you kindly provide guidance on the recommended alternative struts and their potential impact on performance? The carbon fiber material used for the boot lid is quite weighty, contrary to my first expectations.

I first saw it as a mere "characteristic" of the vehicle and did not consider the possibility that the struts may be dysfunctional, especially considering its relatively low mileage of 30,000.
