  1. As someone who is still on the mend after a stroke in February, I completely get the curveball viewpoint; but, I am in love with the A110 and may look into purchasing one in the future; therefore, I would really appreciate hearing your thoughts on the matter.
  2. Hi all, People should keep in mind that there are frauds in this industry, so nobody should assume that every company is like this one and that, based on the evaluations I've seen, they are legitimate. However, please don't assume everything by giving! Compared to other businesses I've seen, Zolee Logistics seems to have a much greater online presence.
  3. This feature is something I have never utilised before. When I visit Home Depot later today, I will give it a go and let you know how it goes.
  4. He raises some really valid issues, in my opinion. Unusual occurrences occur whenever my wife is a passenger, as far as I can tell. Even though her phone isn't even connected to the CX-90, the car will sync with hers if she gets in first. I even removed her phone from the device in an attempt to resolve this issue, but it still syncs with hers first. Everything runs like clockwork when it's just the two of us in the car.
  5. The P0299 code often indicates a problem with the turbo or a boost leak. The moment my turbo died, I understood.
  6. It is a US-market vehicle, although my 1997 E420 has four. Mine, too, are on my 2002 E55.
  7. I got a replacement sleeve and some Gum Gum because I cut it when removing the DPF. You won't even notice the weld. I suppose nobody will care about a well repaired exhaust system as long as the emissions are acceptable. The DPF's back is where the leak is. Also, I really doubt it's a knockoff. Since it was mostly used for highway travel (as an airport taxi), I assume it is still in fine shape. Even though it's not related to this subject, I'd still like to inspect the exhaust pressure hose.
  8. After doing some reading, I would assume so. Mild steel probably wouldn't make it beneath the vehicle for so long. What happened to galvanised ubolt is also clear to me.
  9. I figured it was time to rinse DPF with Wynn's fluid. It was discovered to have a hole! Check out the picture. It has me wondering whether it may perhaps produce a pressure leak severe enough to fool the computer into thinking the DPF is full. It seems to reason that a larger pressure differential will result in a larger soot calculation, and vice versa; removing part of the pressure will cause the shown difference to be larger. I have 316 electrodes at home, so I'll have to find a nearby welding shop to fix it. Alternatively, I could just buy some 304 tubing and practise on it.
  10. Please wait a moment while I recharge my crystal ball; I will return immediately.
  11. I understand your point, but after working in a number of factories, I've noticed that most products, OEM or not, are made in the same factory, using the same machines, and sometimes even on the same day. I always make sure to get a parts warranty in case something goes wrong. I'm hoping this is the problem, but it's mostly just a test to see how stretched the chain is and how much work I'll have to do. If it's not, I'd rather spend £25 now than hundreds of pounds later to find out the problem is severe.
  12. Yes, but only at around 3000 revs. When I used new oil, it settled, but it comes back when the oil is warm. I'm using the original stock tensioner and would like to upgrade. I have a service appointment in two weeks, so I will get the timing chain done then. I'm doing the tensioner to determine how stretched the chain is. I sought advice because it's hard to find a tensioner with attached dimensions. BMW wants more than £50 and needs to order one, while everyone else offers networking options for £20–£30 and next day.
  13. Where can I find the tensioner that has been upgraded? I own an R57
  14. Yesterday, I watched a video on YT that discussed the link between low tire pressure and early tire deterioration. The driver door label instructs to pump the front and rear tires to 36 psi, however the Toyo tires on my CX-70 have a maximum pressure recommendation of 51 psi. Running a higher pressure reduces the amount of wear and tear on the tire's outer layer, which in turn increases the tire's longevity and fuel efficiency, as demonstrated in the video. Because each tire has a code number that indicates the month and year of manufacturing, the video showed that the tires wear faster when the pressure is lower than what the manufacturer recommends. They recommend getting new tires before the fifth or seventh year on the road since some insurance companies refuse to pay out after an accident involving tires that were supposed to have been replaced by that date. Before you buy tires, find out if they are covered by your insurance (AI suggests 6 years). I tend to agree with the video that inflating them to a pressure greater than 36 psi will make them live longer.
  15. Even with 18-inch wheels and tires, the ride quality won't be limousine quality.
