Is it worthwhile to repair or replace the engine?
torque2me replied to Treeri's topic in General Car Chat
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.

I acquired my CX90 Turbo Premium Plus within the first month of its release. Despite owning the vehicle for more than a year, I remain dissatisfied with the performance of the gearboxes, particularly at low speeds and when the i-STOP feature is on. When the automobile is travelling at low speeds, such as at a STOP sign, its stopping or accelerating behaviour is erratic and abrupt. In addition to the low speeds of 5-20 mph, I also had a momentary loss of gearbox at around 55 mph. The car feels a bit better for a week or two after the service and goes back to the same behavior. Disabling i-STOP improves the experience somewhat, but it requires manual intervention each time the vehicle is stopped or started. The identical problem has caused me to take my automobile to the dealership for the third occasion. The support agent informed me that there are other customers who have experienced a similar problem. Recalls and software updates are implemented in an effort to rectify the problem with the automobile. Has anybody encountered a similar problem?

Driving the transporter with the front suspension and steering located behind the driver must be a rather unusual feeling. -

Locate a workshop that specialises in manufacturing and customising exhaust tips. I would place two tips on each side. This is an example of something similar. -
Test for free: Roof racks available for the 2024 Mazda CX90.

Based on your location in New Zealand, I would want to confirm if you are interested in doing tests inside your nation or with neighbouring Australians, or if you would also consider including North American testers. -
Hello everyone, I recently purchased the new shape Sportage GT Line with a petrol manual gearbox. I bought this car to replace my previous Sportage GT Line, which I owned for four years without any issues. However, I have noticed that the centre console key tray/phone tray at the dashboard end is made entirely of plastic and lacks a rubber insert. As a result, everything inside the tray tends to slide around, which is quite frustrating for me. I was wondering if anyone knows whether Kia off Thank you very much.

There was a discussion on a different online forum about the possibility of retrofitting Wireless CarPlay in MX-5s by just replacing the CMU (Car Multimedia Unit) with a compatible one. Perhaps we can explore a similar solution for our CX-30s. Retrieve the part numbers and related information.

Supercharger kit for the Mercedes-Benz C63 W204 model.
torque2me replied to neilrr010's topic in General Car Chat
Indeed, the 57mm snout pulley is the only component required to go from stage 1 to stage 2. Understood, I appreciate it. Thank you for the advice on the C32 belt. I will investigate it, esteemed individual. -

Once again, it provides you with all the necessary information. Weistec is aware of the problem, but they refuse to take any action to assist customers who have been left in a difficult situation due to pulley/belt failure. They only mention this issue on their product page, which is not present if you view the product pages for the individual pulleys instead of a kit. Despite this, they continue to sell these products. When a pulley malfunctions and damages your belt, you will have to wait for a replacement belt specifically designed for the supercharger to be supplied from the United States, which is not a fast process. https://www.weistec.com/62mm-grooved-idler-6-rib.html https://www.weistec.com/76mm-idler.html https://www.weistec.com/54mm-idler.html -

https://www.weistec.com/billet-idler-pulleys.html Although the billet pulleys are included with the purchase of a supercharger, Weistec's website explicitly states that they are not suited for use in supercharged systems when purchased independently. That statement should provide sufficient information for everyone. To be honest, it is a joke. Although I don't use Facebook much, I personally had this problem and saw a post on the C63 AMG UK owners club where it seems that most individuals who have installed Weistec products have experienced this failure. -

Out of curiosity, whatever specific pulley are you referring to?
