Rear Suspension of CX60 Damping inadequate to regulate rebound
coolguy replied to coolguy's topic in General Car Chat
Rest assured, the remaining issues are fully accounted for. Erratic gearbox surges, driving aids endangering cyclists and oncoming traffic, excessive tire wear and poor navigation performance. The majority do not lead to the demise of my family. Overall, this vehicle is subpar and incurs significant monthly expenses due to depreciation, since no rational buyer would purchase it until Mazda addresses all existing flaws. -
Rear Suspension of CX60 Damping inadequate to regulate rebound
coolguy replied to coolguy's topic in General Car Chat
The southeastern issue persists indefinitely. I conducted a thorough search; however, none of the postings indicated that anybody considered the automobile to be really hazardous and erratic, like to the Morris Marina of the 1970s. In my view, without varied dampers and gentler springs, my automobile is perhaps more hazardous than the unfortunate old Marina. Despite thousands of complaints, it seems that Mazda exhibits a lack of concern for the rectification of the vehicle in the recall, a situation that is somewhat commonplace in Britain. Mazda and the automotive media said that they had resolved the suspension issue in the 2023 specifications, coupled with the problems related to the wireless charging, which first motivated the purchase. I cannot see how Mazda deems it acceptable to sell vehicles with several recognised and basic defects. It has become almost inconsequential for me; this weekend, I acquired another BMW to augment my collection. The dealers, comparable to the Mazda dealer network, will greatly irritate me; but, the BMW will certainly not endanger my life or my family's in a severe loss of control at relatively low speeds. It is noteworthy for others in this discussion that the trade-in value was much lower than the purchase price of the vehicle. It is possible that purchasers of pre-owned Mazdas possess knowledge that we lack. I am still awaiting developments on my CX60 and will continue to use it as a backup vehicle at a reduced speed. -
Yesterday, while navigating a bend at a furious pace, my Mazda CX60's rear wheels almost departed off the roadway, resulting in a brief and alarming moment of potential loss of control. In my vicinity, several road portions exhibit significant depressions and abrupt elevations resulting from subsidence and inadequate maintenance. While driving my Mazda at speeds below the limit on some routes, the rear wheels often almost lose contact with the surface, causing items in the trunk to go airborne. The front wheels stay on the pavement. my occurrence is unique to my automobile, since it has not happened in any other vehicle I own or have previously had. It is rather unsettling and quite frightening. My judgement is that the rear dampers lack sufficient stiffness, and/or the spring rates are excessive for the vehicle's weight. The outcome is a vehicle that performs inferiorly to a 1960 transit van, which is regrettable considering Mazda's attempt to compete with the BMW X3. My previous X3 never exhibited this behaviour. Has anybody replaced the rear dampers on their CX-60, and what kind of dampers have you installed? The standard options are clearly inadequate for the vehicle's weight, considering the batteries and other components. This is a prevalent issue associated with the recent influx of heavier vehicles resulting from batteries. This was a prevalent grievance among several individuals over the previous CX-60 models, and I was under the impression that Mazda rectified this issue prior to my acquisition of the new vehicle in June 2024. Mazda CX-60 PHEV with 25,000 kilometres driven.

My dealer presented me with an option between the Pirelli Scorpions and the Michelins. Both options were evaluated for my CX90; I opted for the Pirelli tires. The Mazda North Bay store suggested these options as appropriate OEM replacement tires, and Mazda Canada financed the purchase due to the rapid deterioration of the Falken OEM tires. I am uncertain as to why your dealer is providing contradictory information on the tires. I reside in Northern Ontario and likely see comparable winter conditions as yours. I am now quite satisfied with the Pirelli tires.

Thank you.

What an awesome website! It is identified as the ...3076. Thank you! Would I need to get the replacement coded whether I purchased it new or second-hand?
-
I provided the dealer with my registration; nevertheless, I assume they can get the VIN from it. I do possess the VIN at now.

Greetings, everyone. I own a 2011 C-Class Sport equipped with power-folding, heated, dimming, and puddle light door mirrors, and I have seen other similar listings on eBay with slightly varying specifications. I contacted a dealer to get a pricing for a replacement, since my current one emits a screeching sound when folded and rattles when the door is closed. The number he provided is A2048103076, however I have seen others that conclude with 876 and are very similar. I am uncertain if I recorded the number accurately. Can someone verify if I sent the registration number via private message? Salutations!

Numerous diesel users use additives including Cetane, which enhances the performance of inexpensive diesel, enabling it to combust more efficiently and at higher temperatures.

Concurred. I use them often; the most of my 212 components have been sourced from them, including my newest disks. Note that their components are often less expensive on their eBay store than on their official website

What is the voltage when the engine is operational?

w208 is in a soft open state but is not closing.

It is a handheld tester. Regrettably, I possess sufficient age to recall just what it entails. Currently, it operates as a simulation inside DAS as necessary. -

It is uncertain whether this is discernible, but 1650 serves as an ambiguous reference. Alternative numerical values specify it precisely. -

If the malfunction occurs just while the roof is retracted, it may be prudent to verify that it is not exerting pressure on the luggage cover and interfering with that switch. I have repaired several roofs throughout the years. They are really intricate. I own a worksheet that is beneficial; nonetheless, the extension code is required. The B1650 is imprecise and lacks directional guidance. The main problem with them is a sensor or switch on the left-hand bow ram that bends in the centre. Additional prevalent issues include the bow lock on the back deck, which may have leaks or malfunctioning switches. The deck lock situated between the rear headrests exists in two variations: one equipped with a switch and the other without. However, they often do not malfunction. The wiring next to the right-hand deck hinge is susceptible to fracturing at the points of vertical movement. Infrequent, however seen sometimes. The ECU may malfunction, often indicating the same issue with a switch even when all wiring and the switch have been thoroughly inspected and found to be flawless. This is mostly attributed to jump-starting or the disconnection/reconnection of the battery. It seems that this may cause surges in the ageing capacitors within. This was prevalent in earlier A124 and R129 models in the past. A208s seem to exhibit the same behaviour today as well. Components for these vehicles are becoming difficult to locate. Numerous components are now obsolete from Mercedes, and used parts are exorbitantly priced. -

I need the extension code, specifically the two numbers after B1650, to assist you with this matter. -

That is acceptable, friend. I intend to arrive by 10am, but realistically, it will likely be closer to 11am. My friend is not proficient at time management. 😂 -
German weekend gathering at Caffeine & Machine on June 7th-8th
coolguy replied to coolguy's topic in General Car Chat
I will be going to the hill on Sunday, June 8th, at 10 AM. I have a companion accompanying me. -
Greetings to everybody In a prior post, I expressed my desire to arrange a meeting for new members to connect with both fellow newcomers and existing members. The upcoming German weekend is scheduled for June 7-8 at Caffeine & Machine, The Hill, in Warwickshire. What day and hour would be most convenient for individuals? I am on call until 12 PM on the 7th, but I am available to meet afterward, as it is only an hour's distance from my location.
