  1. Is there a way to test the cable to determine if it's bad? I noticed the bolted connection going through the battery well seemed dirty, but I cleaned it out. The cable on the engine bay side seems fine.
  2. Taking into account the positive leap and the left-hand engine bay earth point It's getting dark and chilly, so I only checked the engine to chassis ground strap, but I also fear a poor connection between the rear battery and the engine bay. I also checked bad earths.
  3. I should probably include the codes detected on the car as well. It seems like none of these are really important and are likely caused by the electricity not being distributed correctly to the car: The following information is displayed: ID, Status, and Description: | | 1A2002 | Intermittent| The electric fan may activate for a variety of reasons, including a short circuit to ground, an open circuit, a communication fault, an intermittent LIN message indicating that the alternator is missing, and an intermittent error code of 0DA451. We did not receive a communication regarding the real steering torque driver actuator 10.0.0. When it came to the electric fan, I made sure it was spinning smoothly under load by turning on the air conditioner to full speed and other conditions. I also watched the fan activation percentage on the reader, and it moved up and down in sync with the reading.
  4. Greetings everyone, Just had trouble starting the car; I noticed it a few weeks ago, but being the slothful person that I am, I replaced the battery in the hopes it wasn't holding charge—a 200 pound error. I believe I've isolated the problem to a power delivery issue after dragging myself out of bed one evening to conduct some diagnostics. This is a list of all the symptoms I'm experiencing. The other day, I left my car running overnight, and it started up again when I got in the morning. I took it for a short trip, and then, just five minutes after turning it off, it still wouldn't start. The voltage on the battery was 12.45 volts. A second battery can be used to jumpstart the vehicle using the front jump ports. Analysed voltage: 14.5 volts Assuming the vehicle is not in sleep mode, the current draw is 70 milliamperes. After removing the IBS sensor, the push-to-start function still does not work; the relay clicks audibly. The following readings were recorded when the voltage under load and crank was measured directly from the battery in the boot: turned off at 12.6 volts 1.25 volts for ignition and 12.2 volts for cranking for measurements taken at the front jump ports starting at 11.6 volts with a 0.4 volt cranking electrical system When I tried to start it with jump leads after transferring the battery from the back boot to the engine block, I heard a clicking sound reminiscent of a machine gun. I've heard that the positive cable that runs from the battery to the engine compartment is faulty. Conversely, I believe the automobile should have started because the battery was connected to the battery jump starters. I'd be very grateful for any recommendations or suggestions for items to try. Even though I enjoy a good puzzle, I am completely overwhelmed by this one. Though
  5. As predicted, the Hyundai came in dead last by a wide margin. This is a perfect illustration of how excellent the CX90 drive train is, which is interesting because so many people seem to have problems with it. One illustration of their overall engineering is seeing the pallisade AWD system struggle in snow.
  6. most likely the module and glow plugs
  7. I previously owned a 1983 Skoda Super Estelle equipped with a 1.3-liter engine located at the rear of the vehicle. The radiator was in front, as was the boot. Despite its robust construction, this Skoda included coolant pipes extending from the rear engine to the front radiator. Additionally, distinct pipes were installed to connect to the cabin heater. The engine technology was distinctly reminiscent of the 1970s, akin to that of a Morris Minor; yet, it functioned very well for its time, representing the pinnacle of Eastern European engineering. The heater took an excessive amount of time to generate warm air during winter, much alone directing it onto the windscreen to defrost or defog; nevertheless, once the heat commenced, it was relentless. It was specifically engineered for the frigid Arctic winters on the continent. I recall a significant snowstorm impacting London approximately 25 years ago, during which the Skoda effortlessly withstood the incessant snowfall. Excellent traction on snow, attributed to the rear engine's weight over the back axle. As long as you didn’t throw the car around in the snow…!!! We are privileged to have remote climate control capabilities via our smartphones and efficient heat pumps that can do rapid defrosting. Isn’t the evolution of technology fascinating?
  8. I was particularly surprised by the absence of ambient lighting strips in the doors of my C-HR. I was really disheartened to see that my Design Trim PHEV lacked this feature, which I had anticipated, and my research had led me to believe it would be included. Curse you, Autotrader, for your deceptive specifications list!
  9. The very first result on Google. Exhale.
  10. Daily Mail? It is advisable to disregard it.
  11. I found it quite enjoyable. Ample interior space. Acquire 4 Spec and you possess all the equipment.
  12. The hybrid Niro does not require charging. Only a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) operates in this manner, particularly when not charged at home. Consequently, I would refrain from acquiring a PHEV. This is the outcome I derived from my HEV.
  13. Would you not simply procure petrol at that point? You are correct; you are assuming certain disadvantages (complexity) without reaping the advantages (savings and environmental benefits). I am unable to provide answers to your other enquiries.
